Katie Biedess & Sean Bock hosted their beautiful Wedding Reception on Saturday, August 15th, 2015 at Eaglewood Resort & Spa in Itasca, IL! We loved with working with this wonderful couple and the Mother of the Bride, Pat to bring their lighting and décor visions to life!
Guests were welcomed into the Red Oak Ballroom at Eaglewood Resort with a beautiful white fabric backdrop that adorned the bridal party head table. The backdrop’s beautiful swags and pleated design were highlighted with lavender uplighting.
The couple shared their first dance on a brilliant high gloss white vinyl dance floor.
We love the jade blue peacock feather overlay the couple chose for the center of the dance floor!
Downlighting in soft blue and white shades accentuated the high gloss vinyl cover, feather overlay and wedding cake. We love how this lighting element brought the dance floor into focus for Katie & Sean’s guests.
The band stage was highlighted with a white fabric backdrop bathed in jade blue uplighting.
Matching jade blue uplighting illuminated the perimeter of the Red Oak Ballroom.
Katie & Sean’s floral table centers were accentuated with pin beam lighting.

Samaneh & Amir’s custom lighting and décor design began in the Mulford Room for their ceremony. The Elegant Event Lighting Chicago Team transformed the back wall of the Mulford Room using soft white draping bathed in soft white lighting to create a backdrop for the couple’s Sofreh Table.
The EEL Chicago Team softly downlit the Sofreh Table for the viewing pleasure of guests and to illuminate all of the table décor.
After Samaneh & Amir’s ceremony, their guests were welcomed into the Heritage Ballroom for the reception with a white fabric backdrop that adorned the sweetheart table.

Samaneh & Amir’s lighting and décor design continued with a seamless, high gloss white vinyl cover of the Hilton Orrington’s wood dance floor.
To make the high gloss vinyl cover ‘pop’ and focus guests’ attention for the evening’s special dances, the EEL Chicago Team softly downlit the dance floor.
To put the finishing touch on Samaneh & Amir’s custom lighting and décor design, the Elegant Event Lighting Team used pin beam lighting to enhance the floral centerpieces at each of the guest tables.
Samaneh & Amir’s custom lighting and decor design was beautiful and truly personalized the Heritage Ballroom for their reception!

Elegant Event Lighting loved working with this wonderful couple and the Susay’s to bring their lighting and décor vision to life for the ceremony and reception!
Amanda & Steve’s ceremony lighting and décor design began with a simple, elegant white fabric backdrop that created a beautiful setting for the back of the bridal altar. The entire length of drape was illuminated in soft white lighting.
The EEL Chicago Team also covered the ceremony stage and steps in crisp white matching fabric to compliment the fabric backdrop.
Two lighted flower pedestals highlighted Amanda & Steve’s gorgeous floral arrangements designed by Denise Walden at Walden Floral.
Amanda made her grand entrance on our double-wide white fabric aisle runner that Walden Floral lined with flower petals.
To complete the custom ceremony lighting and décor design, Elegant Event Lighting softly downlit the stage for the viewing pleasure of the couple’s guests. All of the lighting and décor elements created the perfect romantic ambiance for the ceremony.
Amanda & Steve’s guests were welcomed into the ballroom for their reception with a beautiful double layer fabric backdrop that ran floor to ceiling along the wall behind the bridal party head table. We love how the deep purple uplighting highlighted the backdrop’s fabric swags and pickups.
Amanda & Steve’s lighting and décor design continued with our Signature Fairy Light White Fabric Ceiling Canopy that radiated from the center of the ballroom over the dance floor.
To add a dramatic pop of color, the perimeter of the ballroom was bathed in deep purple uplighting.
The Elegant Event Lighting Chicago Team covered the Marriott Burr Ridge’s existing wood dance floor with a seamless, high gloss vinyl cover and overlaid Amanda & Steve’s custom carriage monogram in the center.
The white dance floor served as the perfect setting for the all of the night’s special dances.
Amanda & Steve’s lighting and décor design was completed with purple head table draping and two lighted flower pedestals illuminated in purple at each end of the bridal party head table.
