Glowing Occasions did a wonderful job on our Anniversary party, my wife was just as surprised about the candles and lighting as she was about the surprise party. Would definitely recommend Ginger and her crew to anyone wanting top notch service
I don't usually write reviews however, I'd love to share my experience with Glowing Occasions! From the first phone call... I was in love with this lady, Ginger, her smile can light up and room and the matter of fact.... She did!! The candles were placed delicately & beautifully. I believe we have more comments about the candles than the venue and we were okay with that. I have recommended this company to so many of my friends that are planning any event (even though the prices are the cheapest in town) it's worth every penny. I've already booked "Glowing Occasions" for a surprise anniversary party.
Ginger at Glowing Occasions handle all the candle décor at my baby shower. She went above and beyond my expectations. All my guest were blown away at how elegant and beautiful my baby shower was. She definitely accomplished that WOW factor I was looking for!
Once again Ginger WHELAN and Glowing Occasions did an outstanding job for me and my family. I used her once before for my daughter's wedding and recently hired Glowing Occasions for my 50th wedding anniversary. The lighting and candles were beautiful and Ginger provided exactly what I wanted plus more. Ginger is very good at what she does and is a professional. I will never hesitate to recommend Glowing Occsdions to anyone who wants beauty and elegance to light up their event.
GInger was so great to work with. We worked together with my ideas and was very responsive. We worked via email and then got on the phone before booking as I was planning a destination wedding in New Orleans. I did just candle decor for my reception and it was a beautiful glow without being over the top. Glowing Occasions is a great option for someone that is looking for nice decor but not wanting to spend all of the money on flowers.
Ginger was very easy to work with and delivered everything on time and as discussed. Definitely one of the best priced vendors in the area. I'd definitely use Glowing Occasions again.
Ginger and her team did an exceptional job for me!!! I contacted 4 or 5 lighting companies and she was the first and only 1 of 2 to even respond!!! She helped me bring my vision to life and did an exceptional job day of with set up and last minute changes that I made. I would highly recommend Glowing Occasions!!! A million thank yous Ginger!!!!
Ginger is incredibly helpful, patient, and thorough. I reached out to her about putting together a lighting and decor proposal for my wedding, and from the start she was nothing but communicative, professional, and positive. No matter how many questions I had, Ginger responded quickly and thoroughly! If you're looking for professionalism and someone who truly listens to your ideas, Ginger is beyond wonderful!
We are from Indiana. However, my Daughter, my one and only child, decided to get married in New Orleans. Back in January, 2015, my Daughter selected Sunday, September 6, 2015 as her Wedding day. As the Mother-of-the-Bride, my goal was to give my Daughter and my future Son-in-Law the Wedding of their dream, and I knew candles and lighting would be essential in carrying out that goal. I received the name of Glowing Occasions (and other candle/lighting vendors) from our Venue's approved Vendor list.
I contacted Ginger, the owner of Glowing Occasions, via email. Ginger responded promptly with the most uplifting and positive email. After receiving Ginger's email, I knew she was the right Vendor for us.
I worked with Ginger for approximately eight months, making sure we created the perfect 'magical' look for the Wedding. Because I am a perfectionist by nature, in addition to my Daughter being my only child, I contacted Ginger often, and I asked many questions and made several changes. (Sorry, Ginger :)). Through it all, Ginger was very patient, continued sending uplifting and reassuring emails, and was a delight to work with.
As she promised, Ginger created the most beautiful and 'magical' candle and lighting display for both the Ceremony and the Reception. (My Daughter and I cried when we walked into the Ceremony and Reception Venues and saw the beauty of Ginger's work. And, our Guests were captivated and continue to speak of the beauty.) Thank You, Ginger, for your patience, guidance, honesty, integrity, professionalism, and, most importantly, your kind, gentle and positive spirit during a very happy but emotional time for me.
I am forever grateful!

WOW!!! All I can say is thank you! Ginger and her team made my daughter's wedding so magical. The candles were so beautiful, everyone was talking about them. I will be using Glowing Occasions for our Christmas party! Thanks again Ginger!
Working with Ginger and Glowing Occasions was a smooth and seamless process. Everyone at our wedding kept complimenting how romantic the ambiance was with the candles. I couldn't have asked for a better decor setting and highly recommend using Glowing Occasions!
I recently attended a wedding that Ginger did. When I tell you this made the room, the venue would have been mediocre at best without all of her extra touches! I will be using her for my upcoming wedding and corporate event. SHE IS WONDERFUL!
I attended a wedding that glowing occasions decorated for and absolutely fell in love with their work. Would recommend it to anyone!!
Omg! The candles were gorgeous! Thank you so much Ginger for making my special day perfect!
Glowing Occasions was awesome! My mother's anniversary party was done beautifully. My guest were all pointing out how beautiful the candles were and asking who did them. I would recommend this company for any special event.
Thank you so much Glowing Ocassions for making my day so special... You guys are the Best!!!!!
Ginger was such a pleasure to work with. She always responded quickly. She was so supportive during the planning process; I don't live in New Orleans so I unfortunately never even got to meet her! I highly recommend Glowing Occasions. Ginger's work was gorgeous. It set the mood/tone of our wedding. It felt so romantic; it was just how I wanted it!
Glowing occasions did the candles for my wedding last March and I must say I was so impressed! The displays were even more beautiful than I imagined! Ginger was awesome and made my visions for my venue come to life. I would definitely recommend Glowing Occasions for any event.
Glowing Occasions provided the lighting and décor at my cousin's wedding and it made the wedding look and feel special. It was beautifully designed and was everything I would ask for at my own wedding. Ginger and her team were accommodating, friendly and professional and I highly recommend this company for your wedding. I will be using them at mine!!!!
Helping to plan a wedding gets a whole lot easier when Glowing Occasions is involved. There seems to be no end to the amount of gorgeous candle displays that can be custom tailored to suit any wedding theme. And of course, you can't beat the beautiful look of candles. Ginger is so accommodating and works so hard to achieve the perfect setting. Highly recommend!! Wish I could give more than 5 stars, but you get my point.
Wow!! Ginger did a fantastic job. My wedding was beautiful and romantic with all the candlelight. Ginger was very creative and patient. I made several changes and she was very accommodating and helped me stay within my budget. I would recommend her services for anyone planning a wedding or an event.
I was very pleased with Ginger and her staff. They did a beautiful job making my day special. I will be recommending Glowing Occasions to my family and friends.
Choosing Glowing Occasions for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made. Ginger was able to take what I was thinking and transform it into exactly what I wanted. The venue where my wedding was held needed candles to really bring out all its great qualities. When I walked into the venue my jaw literally dropped. It was even more beautiful than I envisioned it. She is a perfectionist who doesn't miss one single detail. Some of my vendors were hard to reach at times, but she wasn't. If she didn't answer she would call me back the second she was available. The prices are reasonable and honestly I learned through this that candles are a much better at adding that romantic feel than flowers everywhere. Trust me if you are looking for a candle vendor she is the way to go.
There is nothing that can compare with the ambiance that candlelight can provide. It creates an intimate, romantic atmosphere that lends itself beautifully to a wedding and reception. Ginger at Glowing Occasions goes above and beyond what it takes to make this happen. Her attention to detail and creative candlescapes showcase her talent. She will create the perfect setting to top off a wedding that will glow with beauty. You won't be disappointed!
We used Glowing Occasions for our daughter's wedding. Because my daughter was stationed in Germany I offered to find the venue, pick out her dress and pretty much plan her wedding in her absence. I was referred to Glowing Occasions by a friend and was told that Ginger's work was stunning. That is an understatement! Ginger did an amazing job. The wedding and reception was romantic, beautiful and elegant. My daughter absolutely loved the display. I would confidently recommend Glowing Occasions to anyone.
Working with Ginger from GO was wonderful and most importantly, easy! I was an OOT bride so we did all consultations via email. When I walked into the reception and saw the candelabra centerpieces and the hanging lights over the dance floor I was blown away. There were a million other smaller details that GO put into the space and they were all just perfect. Definitely use them for your wedding/event needs. Pricing was VERY reasonable and Ginger was willing to work with any budget!
Ginger at Glowing Occasions was a calming factor in a crazy big wedding. Her attention to detail was terrific and I never had to follow up with her because she was always in touch with me and my daughter, the bride. I would recommend Glowing Occasions to anyone looking to use candles or the like at their ceremony or reception.
My in laws have been married for 50 years so we decided to throw them a surprise anniversary party. Well let me tell you, this is the best idea we had, Glowing occasions was on time, had everything prepared, she had everything lite and ready before the guest arrived. Afterwards, we didn't have to do Anything, The candles and votives were the talk of the party ! Now we are trying to decide on our next party use this company again!! Definitely delivered the product and service!!
As I planned a Luau for family and friends in memory of my mother & house warming all in one. I was wondering what type of lighting could I use... Well, Ginger approached me with a few ideas and I decided to let her go to work on her ideas!! Let me start by saying, it was amazing.... As the cars pulled up, the guests walked up the walk-way to lovely lighted path of candles towards the house, as they entered the house there was another path of lite candles that flowed from the foyer into the kitchen, then onto the counters and stair way.. It was breathe taking to say the least! As my guest gathered to the back yard, smaller floating candles in the pool then a few on the run way across the pool... It honestly added the elegant touch to my event! I will definitely recommend and hire Glowing Occasions again!
