Kehoe Designs - Chicago, Illinois

5 out of 5 stars, Kehoe is the BEST decor vendor in Chicago and you MUST work with Mal! Kehoe is a one-stop shop, stress free and allowed me to use one vendor for all of my decor needs. As an event planning professional myself, I knew selecting the right vendor for decor was critical to the success of my wedding.

The planning process with Mal and the Kehoe team was seamless, organized and I felt like my event was genuinely important to the team. I truly did not have to worry about a thing and the execution was flawless. Mal did an amazing job collaborating with the venue coordinator and my wedding planners to ensure everyone was on track and that the set-up would be flawless.

Mal did an amazing job keeping me within my budget all while ensuring the end product would be stellar. I still can't believe how beautifully my event came together.

One of my favorite parts of the experience was the showcase at the Kehoe offices where the team took my vision and brought it to life through samples for us to discuss and fine-tune. This experience felt so special and curated in the best way. I am a visual person and this really enabled me to feel confident in Kehoe, I knew my event was in excellent hands.

I know decor, flowers, lighting, drapery etc. can feel daunting (and expensive) but it truly makes a huge difference to work with a vendor that has the resources and team to professionally execute. Decor is not an area to cut corners for a major life event. Thank you to Mal and the Kehoe team for bringing my Wedding vision to life in the most beautiful and memorable way with ZERO stress!

Our daughters wedding was absolutely PERFECT in all ways. Matthew at Kehoe did a fabulous job at making her venue magnificent. The lighting, decor on tables, ceiling and at the ceremony was magically beautiful!. The bouquets and all of the centerpieces were everything we had asked for and more. Thank you so much! We were so fortunate to find you! Thanks again Matthew!

My husband and I talked to a handful of event décor organizations here in Chicago, but none compared to Kehoe Designs. They were the perfect one stop shop for all our décor, floral, lighting, and draping needs.
We had the privilege of working with Megan over on the Kehoe team. Megan was able to take a bunch of random inspiration photos of mine from Pinterest, mash them all together, and then mock up a table setting and ceremony display incorporating all the things I wanted. We were going for a very specific look that I couldn’t necessarily categorize with words but she figured it out and did an incredible job while doing it!

Kehoe worked with us, our venue, and our caterer without a single problem. They seamlessly integrated in and helped throughout the night to make sure our wedding was perfect. We had more than the average number of room flips and table breakdowns and the Kehoe team made it look easy! They did literally exactly what they said they would and if there was any type of issue I couldn’t tell and neither could my guests.

Kehoe clearly has an incredibly talented staff that can create your perfect design. We truly loved working with them and walking into the final product was truly breath-taking. If fun to see one table mocked up, but to see your entire vision before your eyes is another! Thank you for your hard work Kehoe we truly appreciate it!

We had Kehoe provide the décor for our wedding and would highly recommend them! Best of the best. We worked with Mathew Lahey, and he was amazing! When we first spoke with him, we gave him our color palette and expressed our vision for the space. He provided a design proposal which was beyond anything we would’ve thought of. From there, he provided a mock up of each item for us to review, and we had barely any comments, it was THAT good. Then came the wedding day, and we were floored by the execution. Our wedding was more than we could have imagined. Everyone has been saying how beautiful the décor elements and the flowers were in the space. It was seriously remarkable and we would 100% work with Kehoe and Mathew Lahey again. (Side note: our lighting vendor was Black Oak via Kehoe, and we definitely recommend the package deal. The lighting complimented the vision Mathew had.)

I would give Kehoe 100 stars if I could!

Where to begin. I don’t know that I will ever be able to find the words to express our appreciation and gratitude to the entire Kehoe team. When we walked into our venue for our wedding my jaw hit the floor. The first thing I saw was the chandeliers perfectly placed creating an an EPIC entrance to our wedding ceremony. The ceremony room was something out of a fairytale. Romantic, moody, sexy, and simply stunning. The candlelit aisle way spectacular and standing under the cluster of chandeliers as I said my vows was the highlight of my night. The reception room was everyone of my wildest dreams come true. Each table dressed to perfection! The centerpieces were insanely gorgeous and all of the little details could not have been more stunning.

The highlight of the entire Kehoe experience is working with Mal. she is truly an angel and understood our vision immediately. She is beyond professional and has incredible taste. We couldn't say more wonderful things about her!

Kehoe Designs is always able to bring my vision to life! Kehoe provides exceptional and professional event planning services and I always enjoy working with Mal! She picks the best floral, decor, food, and drink to create a festive and upscale environment.

Choosing Kehoe to do our wedding decor was the best decision we ever made. I honestly had low expectations for our flowers/decor because we had a limited budget; however, Kehoe's work blew me away! I could not have been happier with the bouquets, the dance floor ceiling arrangements, table decor, etc. It was absolutely perfect and better than I ever could have imagined.

We worked with Nicolette, and she was so great throughout the whole planning process. She worked with our budget, understood our vision and responded quickly -- she was a joy to work with.

I highly recommend Kehoe if you are planning a wedding!! You will not regret it.

If you are looking for a full-service production company for your wedding - you've found it! My partner and I are still in absolute awe by the wedding that Mathew at Kehoe produced. Wow. Mat was able to ask the right questions, uncover the vision, and provide us design ideas that we would've never thought of but were spot on - and he did so with confidence and care. His experience in the industry shined and his personality made it a pleasure for us and our vendors to work with. From design consults to pre-wedding staging to day-of execution -- we felt feel SO confident walking into our big day. Well done, and thank you for an experience and wedding that we will remember forever!
