Elegant Event Lighting Weekend in Review | May 20th-22nd, 2016

The team at Elegant Event Lighting Chicago had a busy wedding and event filled weekend!


The EEL Chicago Team was excited to work with Anton from Town & Country Gardens to design the lighting and décor for St. Patrick Catholic School’s Graduation Dance on Friday, May 20th, 2016!

Our team designed white sheer drape walls that ran along the walls of the gym and were embedded with alternating strands of vertical fairy lights and café globe lights!

Elegant Event Lighting also provided the wood dance floor and covered it in a white vinyl cover.

To put the finishing touch on the design, a custom vinyl graduation monogram was overlaid on the center of the dance floor!

It was a pleasure working with Laura, Katie and the team at Hotel Arista on the Kapsimalis/Domaracki Wedding on Saturday, May 21st, 2016!

Elegant Event Lighting Chicago designed a beautiful white pleated fabric drape wall that ran along the perimeter of the Cypress Room.

To add a subtle pop of color, the entire length of drape was illuminated in blush pink uplighting.

We loved working with Cassandra of Anthony Gowder Designs to bring the custom lighting design to life for the Lomeli Wedding on Saturday, May 21st, 2016 at the JW Marriott in Chicago, IL!

EEL Chicago illuminated the perimeter of the Burnham Ballroom in soft amber uplighting, and enhanced the wedding cake and beautiful floral arrangements on each guest table with pin spot lighting.

The design was completed with soft dance floor downlighting and head table wash lighting which focused guest’s attention to the front of the room for the evening’s special toasts, speeches and dances.

Katie Straub & Mark Jacob’s had a beautiful Wedding Reception on Saturday, May 21st, 2016 at the Metropolis Ballroom in Arlington Heights, IL!

Elegant Event Lighting created a vertical hanging fairy light design from the ballroom’s ceiling.  We love how the lights were hung at various heights over the dance floor and how the design complemented the room’s exposed wooden beams.
