    Absolutely stunning! Exceeded all expectations!

    I truly cannot say enough about the Art of Imagination team, just book them. From the moment we began working with Deborah, she took the time to truly understand our vision and brought it to life in ways that surpassed all our expectations. As someone who is notoriously indecisive, it was so relieving to just let go and fully trust her decisions. She brought everything together in a way we could never have imagined!

    Every detail, from the floral arrangements and table settings to the lighting and lounge furniture, was executed flawlessly and created the ambiance we were envisioning. Our guests were absolutely in awe of the decor (as were we), and we received countless compliments on how beautiful everything looked.

    We feel incredibly fortunate to have met and worked with Deborah, and would 100% recommend Art of Imagination to anyone in need of wedding/event production. You will not be disappointed!

    Special Touches for a Special Day

    Deborah and her team at Art of Imagination did the décor for our wedding, and we were thrilled with the outcome! She came with great ideas, answered questions that we had, was very familiar with our event space, and even gave us some helpful tips and tricks for our wedding day. Planning was easy, and the results were spectacular.

    Beautiful and elegant

    We worked with Deb and Art of Imagination at Stan Mansion in Logan Square (230 people). AOI created an elegant look with beautiful floor to ceiling draping, up lightening and an incredible backdrop which included draping, a forever sign and a chandelier for our sweetheart table/back wall of the venue. They created the exact look that we were hoping to achieve! Debbie really is passionate about making your design dreams a reality!

    Disco Ball Magic & More!

    We had a great experience working with Deb and Art of Imagination for our wedding on 10/15/22 at the Sculpture Garden at Bridgeport Art Center. Deb has incredible expertise and she is so thoughtful about bringing your vision to life. From the drapery and platform in our ceremony space, to a disco ball installation to hiring a custom neon sign, she helped us make our wedding look chic and stunning! She worked with our florist to pull off the dance floor disco ball installation and we're so grateful for that attention to detail. Deb and her team were responsive during the planning stage and attentive during the walk through. Deb provided suggestions and was incredibly positive to work with. She knows the Sculpture Garden inside and out!

    AOI Is Amazing!

    Our wedding at Bridgeport Art Center would not have been the same without Art of Imagination. Deborah and her team knew the space so well and recommended various additions that made the space spectacular on our big day. We were supposed to get married in June of 2021 and postponed the wedding due to COVID-19. Throughout the initial planning process, to postponing, to re-planning the wedding a year later, AOI made our process easy, smooth, and took all of the chaos and guessing out of the entire process! I would highly recommend using AOI for wedding decor!

    Amazing experience!

    The team at Art of Imagination made our wedding at The Rookery even more magical and intimate. Deborah and her team were really easy to work with, very professional and on top of their communication. They made us feel like we were their only clients! I would highly recommend using Art of Imagination.

    Expert at her craft!

    Our wedding was absolutely stunning and we have Deborah and her team to thank! She knows the business better than anyone and her vision and ideas made our venue gorgeous. Guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was! She knew what was going to work best for our wedding day and she was spot on. We can't recommend enough!

    Art of Imagination's reply:

    Justin...Thank you so much, those kind words make everything we do have such value and gratitude! Wishing you both all the happiness + love + fun adventures together !

    Responsive, creative team!

    AOI was one of the first vendors we met with after getting engaged since they have done so much previous work at our venue, Room 1520. My husband is a DJ and saw the work Deborah and team did at that venue and he KNEW he had to have the globe lighting that they offer for that space.

    From the moment we met Deborah, she asked thoughtful questions about our vision and how she could help bring that to life in partnership with our floral and decor team. Even at our walkthrough after Deborah heard about some final details she suggested a small revision on our drapery, and it turned out perfectly!

    The entire AOI was always kind, responsive and worked well with our other vendors, and we can't thank them enough for being a part of our big day!

    Wedding vision into a reality

    Art of imagination was amazing. Planning a wedding during covid is very difficult, and we had to adjust everything about our wedding. Guest count, date, theme, and set up. However the art of imagination team was super understanding and helpful. They listened to what we wanted and made our dream wedding a reality. 10/10 recommend them. Their team is super knowledgeable and fun.

    Deborah and Team are fabulous!

    Art of Imagination did an absolutely wonderful job on the design and aesthetic details of our wedding. We hired them to do pipe-and-drape as well as a beautiful entry way sign at The Rookery in downtown Chicago. Deborah & Nicole were both thoughtful and fabulous to work with—going above-and-beyond every step of the way. I cannot recommend working with them enough. The pictures of their work speak for themselves!

    Beautiful results!

    We really enjoyed working with Deb and the entire Art of Imagination team. Our venue (Bridgeport Art Center) connected us to the team as one of their preferred lighting & décor and we now know why - they're professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and creative. Deb and team knew the venue inside and out and gave wonderful suggestions that looked perfect for how we imagined our wedding. They were even able to help us get even more value for our money by including additional options since another couple at our venue (the same weekend) had a similar set-up to ours - rather than charge both couples the standard cost, they lowered the rates for both of us! With so many wedding vendors to choose from, I'm so glad that we chose AoI. They helped our wedding day look and feel beautiful for us and our guests.

    Art of Imagination created our picture perfect reception venue with beautiful drapery and up lighting! They were SO easy to work with, and created a perfect design for us quickly. We would recommend them to everyone!

    Deborah and Nicole at Art of Imagination were patient, offered great suggestions, understood my vision, were responsive, and ultimately went above and beyond to make our special day truly beyond what we could have ever dreamed of. They transformed the space with beautiful lights, greenery, flowers, and decor. Thank you Deborah and team!

    Beautiful Backdrop for our wedding

    We hired Art of Imagination for uplighting and drapery. They far exceeded our expectations. The venue is beautiful in itself but once the drapery and uplighting was added it became a night to remember. They were very professional and attentive to our needs and wants.

    Art of Imagination is Amazing

    Art of Imagination did the decor for our daughter's wedding at Rockwell on the River. Deborah and her team transformed a warehouse space into a magical wedding reception. The draping, lighting, chandeliers and greenery made the space look so stunning, it took my breath away. My daughter was so thrilled it made her cry tears of joy. It absolutely exceeded all expectations.

    Very professional!

    Art of Imagination provided décor for our wedding. They are very familiar with the venue we chose (Bridgeport Art Center) and knew all the ins and outs of having a wedding there.

    Both Sandra and Deborah were wonderful to work with! We were looking for minimal décor as we felt the venue was beautiful as is. They worked with our ideas and were super helpful throughout the process. They were very responsive and willing to provide their point of view which we appreciated.

    Enthusiastic and Professional Wedding Decor

    Deborah and the team at Art of Imagination were a pleasure to work with for our wedding at the Bridgeport Art Center. Our relationship with Deborah spanned nearly two years from the initial introduction to the day of our wedding due to the pandemic and a wedding reschedule. Throughout this time, Deborah and her team were professional, responsive, friendly, and invested in our vision for how everything would look.

    As we navigated a wedding reschedule and various changes, Deborah seamlessly went with the flow and provided valuable suggestions and also guidance. Her experience and familiarity with the space put us greatly at ease that the decor would turn out fantastic.

    Every time we spoke with Deborah, whether for a walk-through, a quick call about the plans, or sudden changes, she was always enthusiastic and personable and attentive. The process felt collaborative and she was present during our wedding to ensure all went smoothly. The wedding decor, lighting, and atmosphere truly were wonderful and we have Art of Imagination to thank for that.

    A Dream Come True

    Deborah and her team are impeccable at making your vision come to life. They listen to every detail you provide and make sure to ask for your opinion on a question before they provide their feedback. We had to postpone our wedding a year because of Covid and AOI was accommodating and understanding when our entire color palette changed. Highly recommend using them as a one stop vendor for floral, lighting, decor. I had very minimal to take home with me the night of my wedding, it was one less vendor to manage, and the end product was absolutely stunning! Deb made my vision come alive where it counted with minimal, rustic details and a few grand ‘pieces’ such as my arch and cascading bouquet. Plus, during an insane wedding and event season I always felt like I was a priority and fully listened to in my consult visits. My guests are still talking about the decor and how beautiful it all was!

    The Art of Imagination can create a fairy tale out of a plain space!

    The Art of Imagination can truly create something exquisite out of a plain space. Deborah has been very professional and she will make sure that you get exactly what you are looking for. The team is also very handy and professional, they work really fast and are very attentive to details.
    I had an amazing experience with them and will highly recommend them.
    The Art of Imagination has a large selection of drape styles, up lights, overall room lighting and they customize everything depending on the client's preference.
    It was extremely easy to work with them and I am 100% satisfied.

    Turned Wedding into a DREAM!!

    Working with Deborah, Sandra and their team was literally the best thing my husband and I could have done!!! They completely transformed our wedding venue, Room 1520, into something out of a dream! They really listened to what our vision was and then amped it up to something even more incredible and magical. The first time I got a chance to see their creativity come to life at the venue left me completely speechless. Also, during the process leading up to the big day, they made me feel completely at ease and always had a "can-do, do not worry about anything" attitude. I cannot recommend them enough!!! I will miss working with them as they made it so much fun!

    Beautiful Wedding

    I am very happy I worked with Art of Imagination. Deborah was very knowledgeable and provided great guidance about production at the Bridgeport Art Center. Her team was more of the same - professional and helpful - during the walk through and the wedding. And of course, the wedding was gorgeous! (Photos by Jasmine Nichole Photography)

    Lovely extra touches

    We worked with Art of Imagination for our wedding at Bridgeport Art Center (Skyline Loft). They were super easy to work with and very accommodating to our short timeline and lack of "vision" for what we wanted. They added some lovely touches to make the space feel warm and inviting -- highly recommend for taking your special event to the next level!

    Beautiful work

    Working with Deb and her team was so easy and our wedding turned our exactly how we had imagined it. The lighting, candles, and the chutzpah were gorgeous. She also helped us think through some styling issues we were having, further making our day gorgeous.
