Gina & Joe’s Gorgeous Venuti’s Wedding | January 17th, 2015

Gina Schab & Joe Smolik hosted their Wedding Reception on Saturday, January 17th, 2015 at Venuti’s in Addison, IL. We loved working with this wonderful couple to transform the Venezia Ballroom for their special day!

Gina & Joe’s guests were welcomed into the Venezia Ballroom with our beautiful white fabric starburst ceiling canopy accented with a crystal chandelier.

The couple’s lighting and décor design continued with an elegant, floor to ceiling drape backdrop that adorned the bridal party head table.

To create a “WOW” factor in the ballroom and add some bling, Gina & Joe chose our signature crystal curtain backdrop. The EEL Team incorporated blue fabric into the design to make the crystals pop and glisten.

The couple’s lighting and décor design was completed with vibrant blue uplighting that illuminated the perimeter of the Venezia Ballroom. We love how this lighting element added the perfect pop of color and tied all of the décor elements together for their winter-themed reception.

Our sister company, Something 2 Dance 2, provided the DJ Entertainment for Gina & Joe’s guests. Here are the newlyweds with DJ Lorry Immergluck!

Here’s what Gina & Joe had to say about Elegant Event Lighting Chicago:

“Working with Jay and the EEL Staff was truly a great experience. They went well above and beyond to ensure our wedding was perfect and that I remained stress-free on the day of the event. We received so many compliments from our guests about the beauty and ambiance of the room. We could not have asked for better!”


Gina & Joe – It was an absolute pleasure working with you to transform your lighting and décor vision into a reality for your Wedding Day! We cannot thank you enough for your kind words about the EEL Chicago Team and wish you all the best as you begin your married life together!
