Luminous Events of New Orleans

They were so easy to work with. I originally had a bigger budget for decor, but then had to chop it in half as we got closer to the wedding. They were great at giving me the price 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!

Luminous Events was probably the most difficult of my eleven vendors to work with. I was planning my own wedding, and I had a day-of-coordinator. I do wonder if some of my difficulty 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.

I absolutely loved working with luminous for my wedding day. They made everything absolutely perfect and my vision of my dream wedding come to life!!! They were so easy to work with and made me feel so secure with each choice I made! I would absolutely recommend using them!

Wow, wow. Our wedding at Latrobe's was absolutely goooooooorgeous and it's due in such a large part to Luminous Events! Lisa clearly knew the venue like the back of her hand and had 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!

We booked Luminous for our wedding last minute and they did absolutely everything I could have imagined and helped bring our vision to life. Lisa was so easy to work with and provided great guidance based on what we wanted.

I found Luminous Events through the Chicory (which was our wedding venue) and am so glad I did! I only added a few simple touches to our reception space, but Lisa was incredibly personable, 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!

Luminous Events came highly recommended from our venue and we could not have been happier with their service and our decorations! I planned our wedding long-distance and Lisa and 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!

My wife and I got married last weekend at The Chicory in New Orleans, and Luminous made the entire venue look absolutely DREAMY! We had a vision in mind for our wedding, and Lisa and 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!

I had our wedding on 10/02/2021. Lisa and her team made our wedding so beautiful. Can’t say enough amazing things about Luminous Events. Lisa and her team understood my vision from 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.

Lisa at Luminous Events is a total dream! My husband and I are so happy we hired her and her team. She made the vision we didn't even know we had come to life in a seamless way while 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!

If you want your wedding to look like it's out of a dream, book Luminous Events. They were incredibly easy to work with, professional, timely, and a breeze to communicate with. We 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!

Wow, Lisa understood our vision and delivered more than we could imagine at two different locations. Booking with Luminous events is worry free because they were born to create magic. Andrew & Paul XOXO

Lisa and team were the only company to agree to make a wooden cross for us for our wedding date. Additionally, a week before the wedding they were flexible enough to allow us to tack 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.

• No words can describe how beautiful Luminous Events made our wedding. We first met Luminous Events at their office where we had a great initial discussion on how we wanted our wedding 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.

Luminous is providing candles/decor for my October 2020 wedding at Latrobes. Soon after I submitted a request for pricing, etc. from Lisa, she called me and talked to me about what 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!)

Lisa and her team are rockstars! Our ceremony and reception decor were absolutely perfect - we decided to skip flowers and only use candles. They listened to what we wanted and guided 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!!

Luminous events created the most breathtaking backdrop for my wedding. Everyone commented how magically the space had been transformed. They perfectly captured my vision and were so easy to work with!

Beautiful work! Thorough and easy to work with!

Caroline was incredible. I could barely articulate my wedding "vision", and what she was able to come up with was PERFECT! They helped us build a style and vision for the decor, and 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.

Thank you Luminous for putting together gorgeous lighting for our wedding! Caroline and Lisa really brought the vision I had to life. I talked with Caroline frequently about what we 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!

Lisa and Caroline were great! They built a beautiful mandap for our Hindu ceremony in conjunction with our florist and designed simple centerpieces with candles that matched our aesthetic 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.

Caroline was a pleasure to work with! She took my vision and ran with it! I loved that she provided different options and was able to easily add and remove them from what I can only 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!

The candles and lanterns were beautiful! The champagne wall was a total hit. Thank you for being so easy to work with!

If I could give this company 10 stars I would!! They are amazing and made my ceremony and reception absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! My reception was in a blank tent with nothing in it but a 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!!

Weddings are always a stress but without a doubt, Luminous Events alleviated a lot of my work and fears. It is hard for brides to let go (and I am worse than most) but I truly was 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.

Ash and I wanted to thank Luminous Events for everything! Everything was better than we could have ever imagined! We got so many compliments! Thanks again for making our wedding festivities better than we could have imagined!

There is something magical about working with Luminous! They made destination wedding planning in NOLA from California soooo easy! Caroline was amazing - she creates a vision board 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!

I highly recommend this vendor. If you have no idea what you want, you know exactly, or you fall somewhere in between, they're perfect. Caroline was our contact throughout this process 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.

Luminous brought to life a romantic WONDERLAND for our wedding. They listened to my vision and executed in a more spectacular way than I could have ever imagined. In addition to the 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!

A little over a month ago, my husband and I got married at Race + Religious. Though the venue is truly beautiful on its own, Luminous Events made it absolutely magical. And working 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?

Luminous Events created the atmosphere of our dreams. Everything was stunning from the lanterns down the aisle of the church to all of the beautiful details at the theater. We feel 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!!

Lisa and her team were so great! They took my vision and made absolute PERFECTION!

Luminous events was such a wonderful vendor to work with! My wedding was November 3, 2018 at Il Mercato and they made the space look incrediable. Candles everywhere made the most magical 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!

We had a GREAT experience working with Caroline and the rest of the Luminous team. Our wedding was at Stella Plantation in Nov. Heading into our wedding day, we still weren't sure 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.

The VERY first thing that brought a tear to my eye on my wedding day was the moment I opened the reception doors to see the absolute PERFECTION inside. Luminous Events brought my dream 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!

Luminous events helped to make my wedding day perfect and one for the history books. They went above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. Every detail was perfectly crafted 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.

Can't say enough amazing things about Luminous Events! Lisa and her team understood my vision from the beginning and helped orchestrate everything I wanted to fit my budget without 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!

Lisa was so wonderful to work with! Everything was so beautiful, they really did a great job! They have a HUGE selection, and Lisa really helps you pick what will look best in the space with your vision. Highly recommend!!!

Luminous was great to work with! They had some really great, PRACTICAL ideas that made me feel they weren't just trying to make money off of us - they really wanted our experience to be what we wanted and for our dollars to go farthest. They also made it so easy to plan from afar. Highly recommend!

I can't thank Lisa and her team enough! Lisa knew what I envisioned after our first meeting and she was able to accommodate all my wishes and more within my budget. Lisa and her 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!

Caroline and Luminous Events helped create an elegant and timeless look for our Royal Sonesta wedding ceremony and reception. We walked into their showroom with plans to pull a wedding 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.

Luminous created the exact glow-y look and feeling I had hoped for in both the dinner and reception spaces at my wedding! It was so fun to work with Lisa, and I knew I wanted to hire her immediately after our first meeting where she showed off all her wonderful inventory and seemed genuinely excited about her job!

Luminous was wonderful! They were able to pick up on our vision for our wedding day within minutes of the first meeting. Once I met with them, much of the stress of planning a wedding 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.

Glowing reviews for Luminous Events and the entire Luminous team!! Your attention to detail and positivity during the entire planning process was much appreciated and paid off :) ! 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!!!

When we decided to have an outdoor wedding, our wedding coordinator said she had just the right company to transform our yard into a magical, romantic, beautiful venue. Boy! was she right. Lisa, Jason, and the entire team from Luminous came and immediately caught our vision for a lovely outdoor spring wedding. From the candles surrounding the pool, the uplighting in the tent and entrance, to a million flickering candles, our guests were blown away. We are still hearing comments about how the lighting set the mood for our special event. Can't say enough great things about Luminous!!!!

From walking in their front door to walking down the aisle, Luminous has been nothing but phenomenal. They made our wedding absolutely amazing! Lisa took my ideas and brought them to life. I would highly recommend Luminous Events for absolutely any event, especially a wedding, you are planning. They definitely make you feel like you are their only client. I can’t say enough about their outstanding work. Thank you!!

We loved using Luminous Events for our wedding! We were impressed from start to finish. Once we sent them our ideas/vision board they created a comprehensive plan for the design and decor of our ceremony and reception. They had so many options and were able to do absolutely anything. When th day of finally came they executed everything perfectly. We couldn’t have been happier!

Lisa was great - we were nervous to have a destination wedding in New Orleans, but when we met with her we immediately felt confident she would make our venue look perfect. The lights at our wedding reception were so magical and unique. She definitely made our vision come to life - one of my favorite parts was the candle garden that she put in the fireplace (where we were married in front of). It was gorgeous and seriously enhanced the space, made the vibe romantic. Lighting was a big part of why our reception was perfect, thanks to Luminous.

From our first meeting with Lisa, she understood our vision immediately. My partner and I were married on 2-24-18 at the Chicory. Lisa was very accommodating with our budget and made the venue look more beautiful than we had imagined. Our guests have not stopped raving about the soft romantic feel that the lighting added to the space. We can't thank Lisa and her team enough!

Lisa and team did a great job in bringing my tastes and vision to light (pun intended!) for our wedding. During our consultation I could tell that Lisa really understood what I was seeking for our various decor items. She presented us with lots of options and made it easy for me to pick and choose the elements I wanted for our ceremony and reception. It was great working with a vendor that makes you feel heard and that you know you can trust to execute on the day of - thanks so much Luminous!

Luminous is an amazing vendor. They helped to create the perfect wedding, and every detail was well thought out by Lisa. She was so helpful for an out of town bride, I let her do her thing and it turned out incredibly! She even coordinated with my florist directly to avoid back and forth. I highly recommend Luminous, if I could give them more than 5 stars I would!

Luminous was phenomenal to work with! I couldn't have been more happy with the lighting the day of my wedding. Exactly what I envisioned.

Big thank you to Lisa, her husband and the entire Luminous Events team! Lisa is so creative and had such a nice way of working with my mom and I to make my vision for the wedding come to life! She was able to work within my budget to give us the most "bang for our buck" so to speak which I greatly appreciated. Our reception was at the Chicory, which is sort of a blank canvas. I love the exposed brick, beams and gas lanterns and really just wanted to highlight and play up those features in the space. With Lisa's expertise we were able to do just that and I can honestly say I loved the look of wedding reception! We highly recommend using Luminous Events!

Ever since I saw their work on their website, I knew I wanted Luminous to decorate our wedding. Having a destination wedding and living half way across the world, Lisa made the process so seamless and stress free. Great at working with a budget and understanding what you are looking for from the beginning, I cannot recommend Lisa at Luminous enough! The day was perfect, and they completely brought my vision to life.

Special thanks to Lisa and everyone at Luminous Events for making my wedding reception beautiful! From the initial consultation to execution, everything was perfect!
