Luminous Events of New Orleans

knowledge and expertise made the process so easy and worry-free. Luminous came highly recommended by our venue and they did not disappoint! Look no further - if she's available - book them now! Thanks Lisa - everything was beautiful and perfect!

of everything I wanted and options for some of the decor that could be cheaper. I went to visit them to get a real-life view and mock-up of what we could have at the wedding. Everything was beautiful!

ulty with them was because they only want to work with a wedding planner, not the bride. They are pretty slow at emailing back, so communication was always a little bit of a challenge. We did have a walk-through at the reception venue to make sure the bar, bar-backs, stage fronts, and uplighting would work in the space. We discussed that we would be doing a large floral arrangement on top of the bar-backs like one of their instagram posts involving that bar-back set. They delivered all of our rentals on time, but they never mentioned that we would need to make sure to have our own board to put on top of the bar back for the floral arrangement to be possible. Therefore, when our florist arrived to put the (very pricey) installation we had planned on top of the barback, she couldn’t install it because she hadn’t been made aware she needed to bring her own board. When my day-of-coordinator called Luminous Events to see if maybe they had forgotten the board and could bring it, they were pretty short with her and unapologetic about the issue. The florist had to sort of wedge the installation on the top shelf of the bar back, and it ended up just looking sort of smashed and just overall not great. The rentals from Luminous Events were very pretty, but the biggest disappointment for me of the entire wedding was probably how bad the floral arrangement looked squished in that bar-back shelf because Luminous Events had not been clear in their communication during our planning process.

h and made me feel so secure with each choice I made! I would absolutely recommend using them!

d wonderful suggestions. Our wedding was absolutely stunning with all the candlelight and it was truly worth every penny. Highly, highly recommend working with Luminous Events!

ded great guidance based on what we wanted.

rsonable, helpful and professional throughout it all. Everything was perfectly placed and beautiful!I’d highly recommend Luminous Events for such a wide range of additions to your space!

her team made it so easy. They asked all of the right questions and worked with us on a proposal virtually. On the day of our wedding, I was blown away. Our centerpieces were more beautiful than I could ever dream and our reception hall and ceremony space looked absolutely gorgeous! They truly brought our vision to life!

nd her team at Luminous exceeded all our expectations. All of our centerpieces, geometric lanterns, and ambiance blew away all of our guests. The biggest highlight for many were the floating tea candles above the reception area - it made the dance floor incredible. Lisa and her team went above and beyond to make sure every little detail was exactly how we wanted it. She knew the venue so well that she could even give us recommendations on number of items/ candles/etc to use in certain places. 11/10 would recommend!

the beginning and made everything so beautiful. The meetings were fun and creative. I highly recommend them and can’t wait to work with them again! Love.

le helping us stay conscious of our budget. Our wedding was absolutely stunning and even with all of the Covid changes she remained calm and helpful. We can't recommend Luminous events enough - they made it so easy to turn an empty room into a magical night!

had a venue change 2 months prior and they were able to reorganize everything for our new location. The candles were our favorite part. Book them now!

ck on hedge walls and a photo sign for our big day. We are forever thankful for Luminous Events working with us during an unexpected crazy time with our COVID19 wedding.

dding to look. The owner joked with my dad about never having a king cake and stated that he must get a king cake before we had our wedding in New Orleans (this was a destination wedding… and we did get my dad a king cake before the wedding). Their expertise really came in handy as they had so many great ideas and suggestions. Their selection of furniture and décor was unmatched. We had gorgeous lanterns lining the entrance and aisle of our wedding. They used a beautiful arch for the altar. They also supplied the prettiest pink couches that worked perfectly with our color scheme…and that’s only a few examples of everything they did. Overall, they made our dream wedding into a reality. We are confident that no one else could have done a better job than Luminous Events.

I envisioned for the wedding. She is super approachable and excited to make your dreams a reality! She's also really happy to work within a budget--for example, I was honest about wanting to stick very close to the minimum $$ and not wanting to overwhelm the natural beauty of Latrobes with too much decor. She is happy to work within those specifications, and I know that the wedding this October will be gorgeous! She also works really well with my florist and the venue. Planning is going so smoothly thanks to a great team that works well together--I'm not stressed at all! Thanks, Lisa! (P.S. COVID-19 sucks!)

ded us to the perfect options for our venue and our budget. Their work was impeccable and their professionalism can't be matched. Go with Luminous! You won't be disappointed!!

o easy to work with!

d we were beyond happy with the results. They crushed it. The decor at our reception was beautiful and represented us so well. They found a way to incorporate the neon "cheers" sign at our venue too, which I really wanted and was a really fun touch. They are really responsive and easy to work with, and since I planned our wedding pretty much entirely on my own, this was a much appreciated bonus.

e had in mind. She sent me different ideas with variation in price so I could pick what would work best with my budget. Caroline was such a pleasure to work with and she even came out on multiple occasions to the venue. I asked for firefly lights and firefly lights we got. They even installed this amazing light structure to hang terrariums over the dance floor. Austin and I couldn’t be more happy how it turned out. Thank you again and we highly recommend using Luminous for your events!

sthetic and tied together our boho chic New Orleans venue with our Indian wedding. They were communicative, easy to work with, and gave great recommendations. They were also completely respectful of our budget and very flexible when creating their proposal. Finally, they were able to accommodate inclement weather that required us to alter our floor plan at the last minute.

nly describe as a "visual invoice?" We chose a transitioned warehouse space for our wedding and it was important to me to keep it's charm, but give it a little sparkle. Caroline's execution was spot on. My venue assured me I was in good hands and they were correct!

concrete floor and they made it come to life with simple elegant touches! All my guests couldn’t stop complimenting how stunning all the decorations were! They were always willing to work with me and were able to capture my vision from just a phone conversation! They were willing to work with other vendors such as the florist to really create just the look I wanted. Lisa and Caroline were both so incredible to work with and I couldn’t have ask for my wedding to be in better hands! Hands down would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!!

able to do that with this vendor because I had such a high level of trust in their work. From the onset and initial inquiries, there was always a great balance of professionalism and friendliness, which is what you want in a vendor. I loved meeting Lisa and Caroline and the rest of the team, and had such a relief to be able to turn the design over into their very capable hands. They are also very reasonable in their pricing - what you get in concept and beauty is far more valuable in the costs. Our guests were blown away with the lighting and décor, and it was definitely an area of the wedding planning / budget well spent. They were receptive to feedback while at the same time able to execute direction and give me specific recommendations. I would 100% book with Luminous Events.

festivities better than we could have imagined!

oard for you with the options of what they recommend! The vision board they create allows you to log on and visually see the pieces they have in their warehouse. Both of my wedding venues (Pharmacy Museum & Brennans) were courtyards and I wanted to add a chandelier to both venues! OH, SO BEAUTIFUL! They got my vision - the chandeliers were perfect. They recommended the most perfect pieces to leave the courtyards so iconic! Another amazing perk - is that they work well with all the venue coordinators - they make things happen! Caroline just called my Ashley at Brennans and made the best decision for all of us - so it was so much easier for me - the bride! Thank you Luminous - from your gorgeous gold floating candles, to the chandeliers, and most importantly your beautiful positive attitude to making wedding magic possible. Thank you for making our destination wedding - so magical for everyone who traveled from California! They all fell in love with NOLA - and that was the goal!

rocess and she couldn't have made it a better experience than she did. I barely had an idea of what I wanted. Caroline made me feel as comfortable as if I was talking to a friend rather than someone trying to secure my business. She met with my family and I as well as our florist (Herbivore Floral Designs) to talk out our ideas. Caroline took her time to go through picture after picture to get an understanding of what I liked when I had no idea myself. She listened to everyone's opinions, but made sure she ultimately brought focus back to me. She showed us the exact items in their warehouse that would be used so there were no doubts as to what it would look like. After the meeting, she sent us an itemized list of everything we had chosen. We met again to make the final decisions where she gladly made suggestions of items that could be omitted without affecting the vision should we need to for cost effectiveness. Caroline was readily available by phone or email for any questions or concerns we had and was prompt with her return correspondence. With something as special as your wedding, it's hard to have that blind trust in anything pertaining to it, but Luminous and Caroline made everything as easy, effortless, and breathtakingly gorgeous as possible. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful it all turned out.

e reception dripping in beautiful candle light, Luminous provided the champagne walls for the reception entrance (OMG 10/10 would recommend for a grand and fun entrance that gets the party started) AND a beautiful neon sign + wooden backdrop for the band. I would give them 100 stars if I could - Luminous is the best in the business!

ng with the Luminous team was pretty magical too. We initially met with Caroline in August, just four months prior to our wedding day, and she was extremely personable. She really took the stress out of lighting/décor planning and made it FUN! We gave her a general idea of the aesthetic/ambiance we were going for, and she presented several décor options that perfectly met our expectations. She even created a wish list of our favorite items for my [now] husband and me to review on our own. We left knowing we were in good hands. Several weeks later, my husband and I stumbled upon some lanterns that we absolutely fell in love with. Luminous not only agreed to hang a seemingly endless supply of their lights but also incorporated our own special pieces... No challenge deterred them. On the day of the wedding, they managed to string light strand upon light strand, hang lanterns and bubbles galore, and arrange an abundance of candles--to name just a few things--in the blink of an eye. The amount of work they did in such a small amount of time is nothing short of amazing; in fact the work they did in general was nothing short of amazing. Looking at photos of their work from our wedding day still takes my breath away. Bottom line: Their work is phenomenal. Working with Caroline was a dream. And it wasn't until after the planning phase was over that I got to meet the rest of the Luminous team... but I have to say that they are so sweet, they will melt your heart. You can truly tell that they love what they do, and it shows in their work. And isn't love what we should celebrate most in this industry?

blessed to have worked with a company that truly exceeds your expectations. Thank you so much, Luminous Events. Our big day had the perfect amount of glow thanks to you!!

agical setting!! Also, we rented the green velvet couch and chairs to sit in front of the fire place and it looked incrediable! For our DJ backdrop, Luminous actually used green hedge walls and turned them metallic gold with floating selves and candles. It was all so perfect!

if we would have the ceremony outside or inside, given temperamental weather. Caroline called us the day before and offered to do lighting inside and outside so that we could push our decision until the wedding day! They did all this at no additional cost:-) Overall, they are thorough professionals who demonstrate flexibility and excellence in all they do. I'd recommend them to future couples in a heartbeat.

ream to LIFE!!! Caroline worked with my budget and did most of the creative thinking for me. She had ideas that fit my budget but WOWED my guests!! I could go on and on but simply put, do not question this company! No doubt they will make your dream come true!

d and unique. Amazing people from start to finish. I would not only recommend them, but I don't think you'll find any company better.

ut sacrificing style. The meetings were fun and creative and I would recommend then to anyone I know. Can't wait to work with them again!

space with your vision. Highly recommend!!!

to be what we wanted and for our dollars to go farthest. They also made it so easy to plan from afar. Highly recommend!

team are very professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend Luminous Events of New Orleans for a stress free experience and state of the art decor!

dding together in one month with no firm idea of look or theme (I won't say clueless as I had browsed their Instagram page). When we walked out, I finally had a sense that we could pull this off. They helped coordinate a group meeting with the florist which I think was awesome and I could not picture effectively planning a wedding any other way. Caroline was patient (and more patient), helpful and creative. She paid attention to our budget and really went above and beyond in helping us stay in budget. We had multiple floor plan changes and Caroline took them in stride. On the day of the wedding, we had to change from a courtyard ceremony to an indoor ceremony and the design change was executed flawlessly without any added stress to us as the couple and I could have not been more pleased. Set up and take down were included in pricing and there were no unexpected costs. They were a true pleasure to work with and I can truly recommend their services without any reservations.

re her immediately after our first meeting where she showed off all her wonderful inventory and seemed genuinely excited about her job!

dding vanished because I knew they were going to be able to execute the vision and give me the beautiful wedding I dreamed of. Everything turned out more beautiful than I could have expected. Luminous brought in candles, lanterns, uplighting, chandeliers, and even the custom hedge wall background for my wedding ceremony. They were all so beautiful and such an integral part to creating my dream wedding! I can't recommend them highly enough.

! You helped streamline my vision for my reception venue, and I was beyond pleased with the result on wedding day!! Everything you set up turned out beautifully. THANK YOU!!!
