EXCELLENT Based on 105 reviews Ben Black21/06/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Illumination events were fantastic! They always responded quickly to emails and were quick and efficient at setting up the backdrop (see photo anttached) and do set for our wedding. James was very friendly on the day in person as well. We would highly recommend them for any event or function. Sue Cawthray05/06/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are delighted with our recent order of illuminated letters for a forthcoming event. The whole process was seamless, our coloured letters are our corporate colours and as a charity we will use them at all our forthcoming fund raising events. Thank you for delivering them and the speed in dealing with the whole process. Highly recommended. Sarah De Gaudemar02/06/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James and the team and Illumination Events were absolutely fantastic. We hired them were our wedding in May 2025 and they filled the our historic barn venue with lights - including festoon lights (exterior and interior) , fairy lights and uplighting suited to our colour scheme. They also supplied us with a led dancefloor and pa system. The team were extremely accommodating and responsive. I cannot thank you enough for making our wedding extra magical with their expertise!

We hired Illumination Events to put up fairy lights in a very beautiful, old barn for our wedding reception. The lights looked amazing and made the venue extra special. James and his team set-up and set-down without any issues and were helpful in the lead-up and throughout. Thank you!

I would highly recommend this company, they were very helpful and very prompt when it came to any inquiries I had.. My guests all had good things to say about the lighting.. I would definitely use this company again Amy Windmill08/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So easy to do business with and made our home look fantastic for my husband's 40th party. House and front driveway were lit up and looked better than we had hoped for - and they supplied some extra uplighters for inside, which made a HUGE difference to the party vibe. They also sourced a brilliant balloon arch for our front door. Currently trying to find another reason for a party to be able to use them again!! Tanya Talbot-Butler07/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great price and the communication and service was over and above. They set up for us and when we needed to recharge, were quick to call back and talk us through it. Will definitely use again. Stephanie Adesuyi03/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Illumination Events provided staging, lighting and an LED dancefloor for my wedding.
