Testimonials

When the St. Louis section of the Illuminating Engineering Society set out to find a venue for our annual awards banquet, we could not have found a site more appropriate than Lumen. It is an architectural gem, as well as being a flexible and uniquely illuminated space. From the moment our event began, the entire Lumen Events staff over-delivered: they were cooperative and adopted a “whatever-it-takes” attitude toward meeting our needs. The food was delicious. All of our guests were impressed! Thank you for helping make our 2008 Illumination Awards Banquet a spirited success.
