Art of Imagination

ld look best and offered invaluable suggestions. On top of that, Deborah worked with our budget without sacrificing quality. She was able and willing to find ways for us to have exactly what we wanted without going over budget. Our wedding was absolutely stunning and we owe so much of that to Deborah & Art of Imagination.

phere everyone loved. They helped us add incredible special details such as a love-seat for our head table, a rug for our alter, and stunning drapery and globe lights to tie everything together. They knew where to add special light enhancements throughout the room to highlight various areas, such as our dessert table, which elevated the whole room. Thank you SO much to the AOI team, we are so grateful for all you did!

so very professional and helpful. The Art of Imagination can create something magical even from an empty space. The drapery will add elegancy to any space and the overall room lighting and the up lights will only emphasize the beauty of the drapes and the space itself. I will highly recommend them!

me come to life. We highly recommend Art of Imagination!! They went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect!

Art of Imagination - they can transform any room into a place where dreams come true! From stage covers to draping (our venue, Stan Mansion, has gorgeous columns that AoI draped PERFECTLY), to beautiful soft lighting throughout the ceremony and reception, AoI absolutely created a dream atmosphere. Deborah and Sandra were absolutely wonderful to work with! Thank you all so much!!

oped for! Despite our day being what I imagine is a fairly small job for this group, we were given amazing attention. Deborah was so responsive and helpful, offering assistance in any way she could. We had some weather issues very last minute and she was there to help take care of it! We added vinyl in-between our drapery and it truly kept our space warm and dry, and you couldn't see it! The globe lighting at our reception made the dance floor so fun! It was the perfect compliment to the venue. Highly recommend this great group of professionals to take your wedding to the next level.

r wedding at Ignite Glass Studios that was pleated to cover the entire garage door. Both people that we worked with throughout the process, Jill and Sandra, were very easy to get a hold of and always quick to respond. AOI was able to work well within our budget for what we were able to afford. They also sent us pictures of what we could expect which helped us envision the perfect backdrop. While this was probably a small task for them, we appreciated the look and feel and would recommend their services!

strongly recommend them for any decor needs.

end product was GEORGOUS! We received so many compliments on the chandeliers and draping. They did such a good job with lighting. Deb is always brining more ideas - just a few weeks before our wedding she did another one in the same space and then came back to us with another option for our alter area draping. I loved that she wasn't just about executing the contract and really thought about how to bring the space to life! Thanks Deb!

eased with their service!!

ing our dreams become reality. She helped create the farmhouse/loft wedding we always wanted! Her overhead arrangements at our alter and above our head table were stunning! Art of Imagination also works to save you money is another group or couple I using the space the same weekend, for example she split the cost of lighting with us as another couple was also using them. We also had a few custom items we made/purchased that were added in perfectly, and taken very good care of! We would absolutely recommend them if you are planning a wedding!!

recommend!

It was magic. And they were lovely people to work with.

ble to rebook that date a year out. She refused. She profiteers off death, and now whenever I think of my deceased fiancé, I also feel taken advantage of by this woman. I hope she can look herself in the mirror.

the wedding of our dreams. When it came time for the big day, we were blown away with how perfect everything looked at our venue (Bridgeport Art Center). It was so cool seeing everything come together just how we had envisioned. To anyone reading this still looking for the perfect lighting/decor vendor for their wedding, this is the one you want. You will seriously not be disappointed.

oke on the phone. Other than that I really appreciate the work they did!

e the space and still stay within our budget. They went above and beyond and transformed a simple space into an elegant, rustic wonderland!! They are absolutely fantastic - I could not recommend them more!

the owner. From our initial meeting until the end, she ensured everything stayed true to our vision and even added a little extra! She is extremely talented, knowledgeable, and most importantly kind! Our guests were so impressed with everything and all we can say is THANK YOU for helping us create our dream come true reception!

show her a few photos of what we had in mind and she made it come to life with such ease. Definitely recommend them for any event planning.

sked to see my dress, the venue and color scheme - in just speaking with me in that session she had gathered that our style was clean, soft and romantic. She was able to provide recommendations in terms of decorations and what she could offer. She has an eye for detail which really brought our vision for our wedding life.

r wedding. I expressed what my budget was, and they worked within my budget to bring beautiful lighting to life, making my venue glow just the way I envisioned. I had multiple strings of cafe lights extend over half of the venue, over the dining/ceremony area. The lights were conveniently put on dimmers, so that they could adjust throughout the ceremony, dinner, then dancing. Their workers came and set up right on time, and worked with the venue to "tear down" efficiently. I worked with Deborah directly, and she made the entire process fun and easy. She has been in the business a long time and knew exactly what I wanted - I felt like she was reading my mind. When planning a wedding, there's nothing better than a vendor saying, "We got it!" with such confidence that you know they do. Art of Imagination exceeded any expectation I had for lighting, and I would highly recommend their service to any in event planning!

few follow-up email and calls we were able to get everything locked in!

kylight in the early evening. They also worked perfectly with the aesthetics of the space already in place. This team is flexible and great to work with. If your on the fence about adding a few extras, do it and you'll be glad you did.

ensive work for us with the draping, beautiful backdrop with the café globe lights. Café globe lights draping inbetween the fabric from the ceiling. She hung our picture frames with the table setting. The lighting for the day was insane. She did uplighting in the visitor center. She did beautiful touches for the ceremony and also the cocktail hour and the marque. So beautiful, magical and enchanting. Deborah and her team delivered HUGE for us. She was very receptive to our budget and requests during the whole process. She met us numerous times onsite with the vendors. We could text her and communicate with her via phone and email easily throughout the whole process. She worked so extremely tirelessly for us understanding how important it was to get the look right. She executed all of our wildest dreams and finds on pinterest. Her value is unbeatable in Chicago-land area. You will not be able to match it. Most importantly, she really delivers the day of. So prideful in her work and checking on everything throughout the night. We were so impressed by everything that she delivered on. You will be so fortunate and lucky if you get the opportunity to work with Deborah. She will not disappoint you. Also, we had so many other vendors that the point person who we worked with changed multiple times. Not with Art of Imagination. Deborah was with us from start to finish. She really takes so much pride in her company and makes sure everything is so perfect. She works tirelessly for you. You feel like a VIP customer throughout the whole process. She provides such great vision and suggestions and makes your dreams become a reality. She knows how to execute and deliver. Her vision and eye for beauty and space is unbeatable. We were so pleased. She was our best vendor and we were not let down one bit with anything she did, rather it was above and beyond what we expected. The pictures of her work, really speak for themselves. She is available, good communicator, excellent visionary, and economical. Really an honor to work with her.

on, every detail was brought together to make for an overall amazing experience. It was a truly magical night, and the design really took it to a fairytale level.

n a couple photos for inspiration, and they completely made it happen. They were great to work with, receptive to our questions and needs, and seamless worked with our venue. Highly recommend!

We have guests telling us how "us" the wedding was in regards to the colours and stars!

dings. We left the meeting with her promising to send us two proposals for the wedding for two different design options (for both lighting and flowers). A week comes and goes with no word for Deborah. I thought that maybe she has her hands full right now, so I will give her another week. After two weeks, I call and speak with her assistant, who says that Deborah will be sending the proposals tonight. Again, nothing. After 3 more phone calls and two more emails to Deborah (that were answered by her assistant, again saying that the elusive proposals were on the way), we still received nothing. Never having heard from Deborah or her assistant again, I am surprised by the lack of professionalism at Art of Imagination. Telling a would-be client that you do not have time for their wedding is completely understandable, however, continually ignoring them and not responding to calls/emails is unacceptable. My fiancé and I interviewed several other vendors and ended up working with Dilly Lily and Elegant Event Lighting for the wedding (highly recommend both and reviews posted on their pages), and I couldn’t have been happier that I didn’t choose Art of Imagination.

e. As the planning continuted to develop she had somewhat lost touch with me and had her assistant working with me which then started the process all over again. She really was a great designer but I was very uneasy up to the day of the Wedding because she forgot what I was wanting alot and was having different people call me and ask me what I was looking for along with never returning voice mails or E-mails. If you can get them at a good time and they return your calls everything will turn out great. In the end I was happy but dont know if I would use them again just because of there lack of Responsibility my catering company had to do most of the work.It also was a bit pricy to just have thing up for a short amount of time.

er Deborah, it was warm and inviting and gorgeous. She was one of the best things about our wedding!
