    Beautiful lighting and great to work with!

    They did a fantastic job for my son’s wedding! We couldn’t be more pleased. They were professional and made good, creative recommendations, worked with us, adapted plans with the rain, and accommodated our special requests. We highly recommend them!

    Wedding Lights

    Keith was absolutely great! He was quick to respond to my inquiry and knew exactly what I wanted. He was flexible with the set up and take down for my wedding was at a beach house and not a typical venue. He captured exactly what I envisioned!

    BEST Lighting Company!!

    I worked very closely with Keith at Illuminating Events. He worked with me on my budget and helped my vision come to life. Our wedding was at a ocean front beach house in Holden Beach, NC. I wanted lights underneath the house where the reception was and then also around the pool which is where the dancing would be. He came the day before the event and set everything up within an hour. IT WAS SO EASY! Keith was also one of the nicest vendors I have ever met and made the process so stress-free. Illuminating Events brought our wedding to LIFE. It was absolutely beautiful and I really think it is because of the beautiful lighting. I requested quotes from 3 other lighting companies in the area and Illuminating Events was the most responsive, had the best pricing, and was the easiest to work with. I highly recommend them- they will give you EXACTLY what you are looking for! Thank you Keith and the Illuminating Events team for making our wedding SHINE!!

    So Wonderful!

    Keith was so easy to work with and made sure our lighting was set up well in advance. The edison string lights really made our venue so warm and romantic. I highly recommend!!!

    Executed the design flawlessly with the best attitude too!

    Keith is such a rockstar!! He took my design idea and ran with it, not only did he run with it but he figured out the most cost effective way to accomplish what I was looking for. On wedding day he was fun, positive and worked to make sure everything looked perfect. He was a joy to talk to with on the phone, he put everyone at ease and the ending result was a show stopper! I adore Keith.

    Keith was the best we could've asked for! Our venue was very unique. We had other lighting companies that did not understand our vision but Keith knew EXACTLY what we wanted and was just as excited as we were about our big day! He even set up early for us so we were able to have some of our lighting for the rehearsal dinner. We would recommend Illuminating events to anyone looking for the absolute best quality customer service and amazing results!

    I worked as the coordinator and had the opportunity to work with Keith. To anyone considering ANY sort of lighting services... GO WITH KEITH. Hands down, not only does he know what he's doing, but he will go above and beyond to ensure you are taken care of before, during and after the event. The bride I was working with had a few of her own lighting. And instead of being offended, he even ASSISTED us with what we should do with them. I've been in the event planning business for 4 years, and it's hard to come by vendors who are great, genuine people who are easy to work with - and Keith is no exception!!

    The lighting itself came out so beautifully, and everything lasted the entire reception! We couldn't have been more impressed!

    Keith was incredibly responsive, honest, and professional. We enjoyed working with him and he brought our wedding vision to life while at the same time respecting our budget. There should be more people in the wedding industry like him. He had some great ideas about our venue, and I would highly recommend him.

    We loved our Edison lights and paper lanterns at our wedding reception. The lighting set the mood / ambiance and was the perfect finishing touch to our gorgeous venue.

    Keith with Illuminating events was so professional and easy to work with. He gave us good advice for getting what we wanted out of our budget and the final product was awesome! It made the venue look so romantic, we couldn't have asked for more!

    Keith at Illuminating Events did an amazing job for my daughter's wedding. He put chandeliers in our tents (one large in the main tent and three small in the smaller tent - we had 2 tents for our guests). The chandeliers were gorgeous and the dimmer ability made them perfect for our event. He hung crystals and small terrarium bulbs that we put flowers in all along the perimeter of our tents. The chandeliers, crystal strands and terrariums in this lighting provided the perfect ambiance for the ceremony and the reception. The overall look was fabulous!!! Keith was great to work with!!!

    When inquiring about lighting for my wedding Keith was very timely getting back to me. The ceremony and reception were beautiful with the Edison lights we rented and Keith was honest about us not needing any extra lights for our particular venue which saved us money!

    Illuminating Events provided all the lighting for the wedding I was involved with in Wilmington, NC. Not only were they a pleasure to work with, handling every request we threw at them, but when the weather proved uncooperative...they made all necessary adjustments to include lighting two tents, as well. Practically a "day of" decision. They were creative, flexible, professional and went above and beyond to make the day as special as my niece deserved.

    The Register Service Group of Wilmington NC (now Illuminating Events) provided special tent lighting for our wedding reception. Our vision was of a rustic yet elegant evening and Keith Register (owner) worked with us to provide a combination of draped fabric and lights to create the perfect ambiance. Our budget was tight, but Keith worked with us to get the results we wanted within our budget. Thanks Keith and crew!! We loved the results!

    Keith was awesome! I was three weeks away from my wedding and had no lighting what so ever. Keith was willing to help me out and also helped me stay in budget! I would highly recommend Illuminating Events compared to ANY other lighting vendor in Wilmington.

    Keith was very flexible and very helpful with suggestions.
    My only recommendation would be that when the crew takes the lights down, they should be sure to clean up any strings or ties that are left on the ground. Since this party was held at another persons house this was important to me.
