We had another busy wedding weekend at Elegant Event Lighting!


The weekend began with Samantha Wargowsky & Timothy Puchalski’s Wedding Reception on Friday, August 14th, 2015 at Esplanade Lakes in Downers Grove, IL!

Elegant Event Lighting added glamour to Samantha & Timothy’s other décor elements by hanging crystal jewels of various lengths around Esplanade Lakes’ black iron circular frame.
