Terrible customer service the owner Kim has no follow up skills, she has promised several times to call back with an estimate has not done so since over 2 weeks. It seems she is very un-organized, Spending the amount of money on our budget for lighting we will now go somewhere else.

Illuminaries did some of the lighting in our home and we love all of it. Kim was amazing to work with and her products are gorgeous. You can't find anything like it at the "regular" lighting stores. I highly recommend working with Illuminaries to make your home unique.

The chandeliers that I purchased from Illuminaries are gorgeous! I found similar ones at a custom shop in Santa Barbara that cost twice the price. They're heavy, great quality iron. The owner, Kim, was super helpful and easy to work with. She delivered as promised and we LOVE the lights! Having something this special made a big difference in the end product of our remodel. We love them and definitely would order from them again!
