EXCELLENT Based on 184 reviews Posted on Kerri-Simone AdedejiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We gave used Light up your Holidays for two previous Christmases and have had great experiences. The from the design team to to the installation crew to troubleshooting during the season, everyone was great! And, most importantly, the lights look beautiful. The perfect touch to usher in the season and make it feel like the holidays. Our family loves the way the house looks and we get lots of compliments from our neighbors.( It’s also nice not to have to store the lights and wreath in the off-season. ;-). ) We will definitely continue to work with Light Up Your Holidays for Christmases to come.Posted on Katie McIntyreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Karla with Light Up Your Holidays was incredibly responsive, professional, and most of all creative with our somewhat unique request; a 3-story plain brick wall that needed some holiday cheer. Her team came up with a wonderful design and implemented their plan beautifully. We will be using them for years to come! Update 2025: We used Karla's team this year again and we are so happy with the results! We've gotten countless compliments from our neighbors and it was so easy to work with Light Up Your Holidays again. Thank you!Posted on Robyn-Ashley TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We reached out to Light Up Your Holidays to decorate the exterior of our home for Christmas, and they did a beautiful job. After sending them a photo of our home, they worked with us to develop several design options and refined the final plan until it perfectly matched both our vision and our budget. They handled the full install and uninstall, and the lights are set on a timer, making the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free for busy homeowners. I’ll definitely be using them again.Posted on Shanequia & Jarvis SeymoreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I get so many compliments on my “Christmas house”.Posted on liliana minkowyczTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've used Light Up Your Holidays for the 2nd time this year for all of our Christmas holiday decorating.

Light Up Your Holidays offers great early booking deals, allowing us to have no worries about holiday hassles! Highly recommend!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Posted on Ann CostelloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m so pleased with the holiday design that Light Up Your Holidays executed on our home in Chicago for Christmas 2024! I was fortunate enough to have a voucher from a fundraiser to put towards our holiday lighting. Karla from LUYH reached out to me in June to begin the planning process. Even though it was early, I was so happy to have my decisions made well in advance. There are too many things to worry about around the holidays! My experience with Karla was wonderful. Karla is exceptional at her job. She presented and described options to me and was very patient while I made my decision. Once decided, a payment and installation schedule were presented to me. The entire process was so easy, from start to finish. Installation was very professional, as was the communication throughout the process, through removal of decorations/lighting. Text updates and reminders were helpful and appreciated. Installation was around Thanksgiving, but it was up to me when I wanted to flip the switch. I turned everything on when the install crew was present, and it looked outstanding! In fact, my next-door neighbor noticed and came outside to compliment me on our installation. The quality of the greenery and lights is really wonderful and clearly professional grade products are used. I may change my design for next year, and even though it’s only January, I’m already thinking of fresh design ideas for our home. I look forward to my conversations with Karla and her wonderful suggestions! Description of Work: Decorated the front of the home with lights and garlands.
Our Work in Lake Forest, Illinois
Why Lake Forest Homeowners Choose Professional Holiday Lighting
Lake Forest is one of the most prestigious communities on the North Shore, and the homes here reflect it. Estates along Sheridan Road, historic homes in the Market Square area, and expansive properties set back on wooded lots create some of the most impressive holiday lighting opportunities we work with. Our Lake Forest projects consistently rank among our largest and most architecturally detailed.
Designing holiday lighting for Lake Forest homes requires an understanding of scale. Many properties have long driveways, circular approaches, multiple rooflines, and mature landscaping that all factor into the design. We know how to use lighting to create a sense of arrival, guiding the eye from the street to the entry and across the full property.
Lake Forest homeowners expect a certain level of quality and discretion. The displays are elegant, the materials are premium, and the execution is flawless. Our team has the experience and the equipment to deliver at that level, and many of our Lake Forest clients have been with us for years.
