From the very second we started speaking with Matt at Kehoe Designs, he completely understood my vision and seamlessly brought it to life. The quality of everything was absolutely unbelievable. The flowers were fresh, vibrant, and stunning, and the decor and setup were so elegant and impeccably executed. Their planning and execution were truly some of the best I have ever experienced.
What makes Matt so exceptional is his unique ability to take the ideas in your head and turn them into reality. He was genuinely excited for us as a couple and provided a white-glove level of service with thoughtful, custom care every step of the way. Black Oak, their lighting partner, also did a phenomenal job. The lighting perfectly highlighted the aisle and our centerpieces, and it truly made a world of difference.
With Kehoe Designs, you absolutely get what you pay for. The attention to detail, quality, and sheer professionalism are unmatched. Matt and his team made our wedding day feel magical, effortless, and perfectly tailored to us. We couldn’t recommend him more!

Wow!!!!!!!! So grateful for the fabulous job and efforts that Mal put forth in designing my daughter, Rachel’s recent wedding. She absolutely made her dream come true by creating a magical and exquisite design that our guests are still raving about ! Mal was a DELIGHT to work with and seemed to understand Rachel’s vision from the get go (no carpet, no curtains). The room was jaw dropping beautiful and magnificent ; all of our guests were mesmerized by the beauty that surrounded them . We would highly recommend Mal and Kehoe for any of your future events, you will not be disappointed!!!!

“5 out of 5 stars, Kehoe is the BEST decor vendor in Chicago and you MUST work with Mal.”
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!

“We had Kehoe provide the décor for our wedding and would highly recommend them.”
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.”
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!

“If you are looking for a full-service production company for your wedding - you've found 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!

“We planned my wedding in just 3 short months and couldn't have done it without Mal Marcus at Kehoe.”
We planned my wedding in just 3 short months and couldn't have done it without Mal Marcus at Kehoe. She was such a dream to work with! She fully took my vision and turned it into a reality in such a short time and took all of my family's craziness with grace. She even accommodated day-of changes for our cocktail hour and made it a dream! Mal is the absolute best!
