    Don't hesitate to book Illumination Events!

    Chelsea and her entire team at Illumination Events Studio are amazing and helped every step of the way to bring our dream wedding to life! Chelsea is super organized, detail-oriented, and is always available to answer questions and take care of last-minute requests. Her connections to vendors in the area were also super helpful, allowing us to find the right people for music, flowers, photography, and more that aligned with our vision. She made sure we were taken care of, leading up to and during our wedding day, which really let us be present and not stress about the small stuff. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

    Best decision we made!

    We cannot even begin to express our gratitude for Chelsea and her team! Our wedding day was better than we could ever have imagined. We had a kind of complex vision with two different caterers. This required a lot of back and forth with different vendors and moving parts. She was on top of all the little details every step of the way. She kept each of us calm on the wedding day. The second I arrived and met her the morning of I felt no stress. She had so many great pointers (things we never even thought about) in the rehearsal that were super helpful. Her and her team made us feel so special through the night, asking us if we needed water, or wine or anything, things we never expected but were such nice touches. One of the most amazing parts was seeing how she took our vision and made it a reality in terms of decor. We had a unique style - more bright colors than traditional neutrals and I was worried it was going to look tacky but when we came up and saw her pull it all together with our flowers, decor, candles, and rentals I was truly amazed. It was so beautiful. She knew exactly what to do! Finally, personality is so important in a planner. I knew I liked Chelsea as a person from our first call and because of that I'd trust her on the wedding day. Picking Chelsea and Illumination Events Studio was the #1 best choice we made in planning our wedding. Thank you!!

    Go Ahead and Book Illumination Events!

    Illumination Events was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, they took such great care of us and truly helped take so much off our plate. They paid attention to every detail, big and small, and made sure we felt supported throughout the entire process. The first time we met Chelsea, she got my name right. That moment alone told us she was someone special, and we knew we had chosen the right person. Chelsea is incredibly detail-oriented, organized, and prepared for anything. If you are a Type A couple, she is exactly who you want in your corner because she does not miss a thing! Her timeline was absolutely incredible, detailed from the beginning of the day all the way through the final moments of packing up. Everything had a place and a plan. On our wedding day, Chelsea and the Illumination Events team made everything run so smoothly. We had over 165 guests, and she handled everything with such professionalism and ease. She made sure the wedding party was where they needed to be, kept everything on schedule, and even when things naturally shifted throughout the day, she adapted quickly without us having to worry about anything. The best part? If anything went wrong behind the scenes, we never knew, because our day felt absolutely perfect. We were able to truly enjoy our wedding because Chelsea was taking care of everything. Illumination Events was worth every penny we spent. We are so grateful for Chelsea and the entire team for making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. Thank you for taking such amazing care of us and helping create memories we will cherish forever!
