Our Services
Lighting Contractor
Our installation team handles every type of holiday and specialty lighting project across the greater Chicago area.
From Christmas and Halloween to commercial displays for restaurants, cafes, and retail, we bring the crew, the equipment, and the commercial-grade materials.
You tell us what you want, and we make it happen. Design, installation, season-long service, and complete removal are all included.
Lighting Consultant
Every project starts with a conversation. Our design team works with you to create a custom lighting plan that fits your home, your style, and your budget.
We'll walk through options, show you examples of our work, and put together a personalized design before a single light goes up.
Our free design consultation is the first step.
Interior Holiday Home
We don't just do the outside. Our interior holiday decorating service covers Christmas trees, mantels, staircase garlands, tableaux, and interior lighting.
Imagine walking into your home and everything already feels like the holidays. The tree is perfect, the mantel looks incredible, and you didn't have to spend a weekend doing it.
We handle the entire interior, and it pairs beautifully with our exterior lighting for a full-home holiday experience.
Architectural Designer (Permanent Lighting)
Permanent architectural lighting is a one-time installation of smart LED lights along your roofline that you control from an app on your phone.
Change colors for Christmas, Halloween, 4th of July, or everyday ambiance.
One install, zero seasonal setup. We install permanent bistro and patio lighting and landscape lighting as part of our year-round lighting packages
Our Fleet & Team
We’re not a guy with a ladder and a pickup truck.
We’re a professional design and installation company with six fully equipped vans and seasoned crews built to execute residential and commercial projects at a high level —beautifully, efficiently, and reliably.
Our teams arrive uniformed and prepared. Every installer is trained not just in technical precision, but in the design details most companies overlook. Because the difference is in the details. The exact placement of every light.
The fullness of every garland. The balance, symmetry, and finishing touches make a property feel elevated instead of simply decorated. From ground level to 40+ feet in the air, we show up to deliver work that reflects beautifully on your home or business.
Our Design Team
Our designers combine creativity with technical expertise to create displays that complement your home and personal style. Every element is thoughtfully placed to enhance the beauty and character of your property.

Christmas
Owner + Founder
I was decorating homes before this was even an industry.
What started from the trunk of my car more than two decades ago became a lifelong passion for design, atmosphere, and the way lighting transforms how a place feels.
I come from photography, so I’ve always been passionate about design, balance, and how it all comes together. I was trained by an electrician and installed every project myself in the early days.
As the business grew, I built a team — and we’ve kept evolving our designs, décor, and installation as the technology has changed. But I’ve never lost focus on the client experience. That’s what this is about.
Everything we do is thoughtful and intentional — custom to each property, inside and out — so it feels inspiring. After more than two decades, I’m still passionate about this work.
I’ve seen how lighting brings a place to life — lifting the mood of a home, welcoming people into a business, and even brightening a dark Chicago night so neighbors and communities feel more connected.
