I couldn't be more thrilled with the incredible work that Light Up Your Holidays did on my multi-story home in Lincoln Park, Chicago! From the very beginning, their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and creativity, transforming my home and surrounding trees and bushes into a dazzling winter wonderland. The design work was truly a masterpiece. They carefully listened to my preferences and provided ideas that enhanced the beauty of my home while staying true to its character. The way they draped the holiday lights, added lush garlands, and accented everything with perfectly placed bows was nothing short of stunning. The warm glow of the lights and the festive decorations brought a magical spirit to the block. The setup process was seamless. The team worked efficiently and carefully, ensuring that every element was securely in place. I was particularly impressed with how meticulous they were, taking care not to damage any part of my property during the installation. Their attention to detail was remarkable, and it showed in the flawless results. Perhaps what stood out most was the number of compliments I received from neighbors. Several people stopped by to say how much they loved the decorations and how beautifully they lit up the block. One neighbor said, "Your home looks like it belongs on a holiday postcard!" Another shared that the display brought joy to their family every evening. It felt wonderful to know that Light Up Your Holidays helped create a festive spirit for the whole community. When the season was over, the takedown was just as smooth as the setup. The team returned promptly and removed everything with care and efficiency, leaving my property in perfect condition. It's clear that they take pride in their work from start to finish. I highly recommend Light Up Your Holidays to anyone looking to make their home shine during the holiday season. Their design expertise, meticulous setup, and efficient takedown made the entire experience hassle-free and truly magical. I can't wait to work with them again next year! read more

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. read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Light Up Your Holidays to decorate my house for both Halloween and Christmas, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, their team provided exceptional service and delivered stunning results. For Halloween, they created a spook-tacular display that wowed everyone in the neighborhood. The designs were intricate, the lighting was eerie, and the props were just the right amount of spooky. It truly transformed my home into a haunted masterpiece! The Christmas decorations were equally impressive. The festive lights, elegant wreaths, and charming accents brought warmth and holiday cheer to my house. I loved coming home each day to such a beautifully decorated space. Throughout the process, the Light Up Your Holidays team was professional, creative, and attentive to detail. They listened to my preferences and tailored the designs to suit my home perfectly. Their customer service was exceptional, and their dedication to ensuring my complete satisfaction was evident every step of the way. Not only were the designs and service top-notch, but the quality of the decorations was also outstanding. Everything was durable, well-crafted, and held up beautifully throughout the holiday season. Overall, I am thrilled with the services provided by Light Up Your Holidays. They exceeded my expectations in every way and made my holidays truly special. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to add some magic to their home during the holiday season. Carina read more

Light Up Your Holidays does an amazing job making your home look beautiful in such a tasteful and elegant way! We worked with Kelly to design the lighting for our home. We had some ideas of how we wanted the house to look. However, when we talked with Kelly, she made some suggestions I never would have though of, and made sure the house looked balanced (again something I wouldn't have considered). She added some fantastic details that made the house look beautiful during the day as well as in the dark hours. The hardware that was used to hang the lights is permanent, but is so small and discrete. I really have to look hard to find the hooks. The customer service is fantastic. We had one set of lights go out one evening. We called and the lights were repaired the next day with no interruption to our schedule. Take down was such a breeze. Again, the crew came out, took down the lights. There was no mess or storage for us, and better than that, we didn't have to climb on ladders in the snow! You certainly receive an amazing product which corresponds to the price of lighting. Every night I drove into my driveway smiling. The lights really add to the spirit of the holidays. We had many compliments throughout the season. I highly recommend Light Up Your Holidays. read more

We've been clients of Kelly and Light Up Your Holidays for over ten years; our large house on a prominent thoroughfare is deserving of special "holiday treatment." Kelly and her crew provide just that! From our initial design meeting with Kelly to the annual installation of lights and Christmas-y décor (garland, swags, teardrops and wreaths), the professionalism of all cannot be understated. Everyone is friendly, courteous, and sensitive to our needs and wants. From the occasional light string that burns out (NOT a problem since we switched to the LED lights), bows that have gone missing in some of our excessively high winds, and tweaking the décor as the landscape changes or just because we want it... they're here for us! The hotline is a great and we're happy to have only needed it on rare occasion. You can trust Kelly's lighting design and décor recommendations (I'm so glad she "sold" me on the soft white LED lights) and can depend on her crew to bring her designs to life. This past year, Light Up Your Holidays has given back to the community with the installation of holiday lights/décor for a charitable cause; asking her clients for special/personal recommendations. It just doesn't get better than that. Cheers to Kelly and her crew; you all are the best! read more

This was my first year with Light Up Your Holidays and it was a magical experience from start to finish. Kelly provided multiple lighting designs during our initial consultation, which was conducted very efficiently (and on-time) via Zoom call. Throughout the call, Kelly worked with us to answer all questions and to make sure that we were comfortable with the design and the next steps. And speaking of next steps! The process was communicated with great clarity, install appointment was set, and the installation team arrived on-time. The team installed very quickly and with great professionalism. Likewise, removal was communicated clearly, and was performed on-time, with the same professionalism. A problem hotline was provided, and though it was not needed, it was nice to know the team was there if we needed them. This is a first-rate company and is highly recommended. Design - Service - Professional Install - perfect. My house was tasteful and beautiful, and quite honestly, the best on the block. I literally had cars stopping on the street to compliment the outstanding decor. I enjoyed my lights every single day. read more

Lets face it, the holidays are fun, but super stressful and busy. Who doesn't need a little reminder to slow down, relax and enjoy. Holiday lights ARE IT! When you drive home the first night after a day full of a million "errands" and see the beautiful lights Kelly and team install, your blood pressure will instantly go down. The first year I hired Light up your Holidays was 2010. I had 15 plus family members coming into to town and I really wanted to make the house look special - for others. The next year I debated whether to spend the money again because it was just the three of us and I wondered if it seemed "worth it." Well I'm happy to say, I decided to do it again - for me! - and every year for the past 5 years. Kelly has a great eye for how to decorate your specific house, a great service team, and its just such a wonderful gift to drive up at night and enjoy the season. You will not regret your decision to hire this company. read more

I have been a client of Light Up Your Holidays for the last 6 or 7 years. I can't say enough good things about the business. Kelly is great and she hires only the best. This year as I apporached my home in my car while the crew was stringing my lights, I saw the crew chief stepping back and looking everything over. They want to make sure everything is perfect. As with anything, sometimes there is a problem (although I have gone entire seasons without any). This is an area that really sets Light Your Up Your Holidays apart. They commit to coming out within 24 hours; however, i have never waited that long. Night time is not a bar to the technicians. They arrive with their lighted caps and get to work. Patti runs the light hotline. Believe it or not she seems to understand the panic in our voices if a strand of lights go out. she makes sure that you know when to expect the technicians. All and all...a GREAT COMPANY read more

We have been a customer with Light Up Your Holidays since 2007! It is one of the best decisions we have made in having our Christmas lights and décor installed by Kelly and her team. The process is seamless - it couldn't be easier. Kelly's crew is neat, organized and treats my home and the trees like they are their own - and that is very important to us. The service is unbelievable - we wanted another strand of lights on a tress and Kelly had it taken care of within hours our request. They even come back periodically to check on the lights to ensure they are working properly. Many neighbors tell us they can't wait every year to see how our house is decorated. You won't be disappointed when you hire Kelly - she has a great eye for design and her products are of great quality! We always ask Kelly to put us last on the list at the end of the season for removal because we love the way the house looks. read more

Our experience with Light Up Your Holidays brightened our Christmas for the entire family in a tough year. Because we stayed home for the holidays, we decided to light up our backyard gardens so WE could enjoy the lights looking out the windows of our home. Kelly was wonderful in adjusting our design to give us the most dazzle and stay within our budget. I was also delighted with the customer service - clear communication when the crew would arrive, helpline if we had any problems (we didn't!), and when they would return to take the lights down. The crew did a lot of work in our gardens, and the trees and bushes were none the worse for wear. Also, the lights were brighter than anything you typically buy in the store and the wreaths and bows were magnificent. Definitely more expensive than DIY, but this year it was worth it. read more

Three years ago we hired Kelly and Light Up Your Holidays to decorate the outside of our home and we've never looked back. It's been one of the best investments we've made and reduced annual arguments about how many lights, what to do when the lights go out, etc. The lighting is absolutely beautiful and Kelly works with you to create the best design for your home; I get numerous compliments every year. And the service is professional and impeccable; they communicate with you in advance of putting the lights up and taking them down and have a 24-hour hotline if you have a problem and address it within a day. Additionally, I've added a couple of trees to our decorations over a couple of years so you can start with less and add on as time goes on and your needs change. read more

"Our holiday lighting is absolutely beautiful! Kelly and her team are professional and easy to work with. It is obvious that she is a designer and that her crew has years of experience installing holiday decor. The Christmas lighting was perfectly installed and looked fabulous. My family and all my neighbors loved it! They installed the LED wreaths, garland and lights before Thanksgiving and put them on automatic timers so we did not have to do anything but enjoy them!! I was impressed with their consistent communication and 24-hour service hotline. We hired other holiday companies in the past but we were disappointed. We will hire Light Up Your Holidays every year!" Sincerely, Denise Voss read more

I started with Light Up Your Holidays 5 years ago and I have to say, the house looks beautiful! I used to do the lights myself (not on the roof), but it became more difficult and I was stressed between decorating the house and finishing all the Christmas shopping. (Not to mention the burned out light bulbs that were working just fine the previous year and having to continually buy more strings of lights!) I decided to hire Kelly and after the installation, the house looks great and I get to enjoy the lights from Thanksgiving through the New Year. They add such a festive feel to my home. Her crew is great - efficient, quick, and very friendly. Thanks Kelly and staff. read more
