Elegant Event Lighting Weekend in Review | June 14th, 2014

June is flying by here at Elegant Event Lighting Chicago, so we wanted to slow things down a bit by taking a look back on our wonderful couple’s weddings from Saturday, June 14th!

Rachel Sickler and Joe Bush hosted their wedding reception at the Chicago Cultural Center in Chicago, IL. The Elegant Event Lighting Team created a custom lighting and décor design, which began with soft downlighting of Rachel & Joe’s Royal Conference Head Table. The downlighting beautifully illuminated the head table and provided focus for the couple’s guests during the special speeches and toasts.

Our team also designed a gorgeous ivory fabric backdrop that sat behind the three main arches in Preston Bradley Hall.  Amber uplighting highlighted the backdrop’s pickups and illuminated the arches.   Many thanks to Christine Stone from Tying the Knot.

After saying their “I Do’s,” Rachelle Ryan & Gene Ryan had a beautiful wedding reception at Rivers Restaurant in Chicago, IL.

The Newlyweds and their guests dined on the terrace, which the EEL Chicago Team accented with three hanging crystal chandeliers.  The chandeliers added a touch of glamour and perfectly complimented the table décor.  Thank you to Ashley Kuehnel from Rivers Restaurant and Midwestern Bride for her great work in coordinating the details.


Aryn Byslma & Brian Kukulski were married at the Eaglewood Resort & Spa in Itasca, IL.  Elegant Event Lighting Chicago created a pleated, sheer ivory fabric backdrop, which adorned the couple’s ceremony altar.  Soft amber uplighting added a romantic ambiance to the Red Oak Ballroom and highlighted the fabric swags in the backdrop design.

Elegant Event Lighting loved creating this beautiful ceiling canopy for the Turner Wedding at Prairie Landing Golf Club in West Chicago, IL.  Our team draped sheer ivory fabric over the dance floor and incorporated fairy twinkle lights into the design.

It was wonderful working with Pamela Moore of Phillip’s Flowers on her client’s wedding at Bartlett Hills Golf Club in Bartlett, IL.  Our colorful paper lantern design over the dance floor looked beautiful and perfectly complimented the exposed ceiling beams!
