Maria Venuti & Tony McGinnis had a gorgeous Wedding Ceremony and Reception at Venuti’s in Addison, IL! It was so special to be able to work with Maria, one of Venuti’s owners, to create her custom wedding lighting and décor design!

Maria & Tony’s guests were welcomed into Venuti’s with beautiful staircase draping in the lobby.

Maria & Tony said their “I Do’s” in the Vitas Room. Elegant Event Lighting designed the pleated ivory fabric bridal arch that served as the perfect backdrop for the couple to exchange vows.

The EEL Chicago Team lined the aisle with ivory fabric wrapped flower pedestals. Matching ivory fabric was swagged from each pedestal to complete the ceremony décor design.

Maria & Tony hosted their reception in The Grand Ballroom. The couple’s reception lighting and décor design began with our signature pleated sheer ivory fabric backdrop with fairy lights that adorned the back of the bridal party head table.

The backdrop ran floor to ceiling and added a romantic ambiance to the ballroom thanks to the soft glow of the fairy lights.

Our signature double starburst ivory sheer ceiling canopy stretched across the entire Grand Ballroom. We love how this décor element perfectly complemented all of the other design details!

The Elegant Event Lighting Team also designed a gorgeous ivory drape wall that ran along the length of the ballroom and was illuminated in soft amber uplighting. The design was completed with a dramatic double entrance drape opening in the middle of the wall that allowed their guests to enter into the Sweets Table Room!

We softly downlit the sweets table to create a beautiful setting for Maria & Tony’s guests in the Sweets Table Room.

Every detail of Maria & Tony’s wedding lighting and décor design was perfectly tied together and completely personalized The Grand Ballroom. We were honored to be a part of Maria & Tony’s special day and wish them the best for their married life together!
