Let’s Create Magic
The creativity, skill, and vision that Derrick brought was out of this world. He thinks like an engineer and constructs like an artist. I cannot imagine a wedding without him.
Taylor & Co Events is Chicago’s premier luxury floral and décor house
One of the few large design firms in Chicago that fabricates our own lighting, fabric draping, installations, and custom décor, even building specialty pieces for our industry colleagues, we offer a truly personalized approach from start to finish.
Founded in 2011 by Derrick Taylor, a fourth-generation event professional, Taylor & Co carries forward a proud family legacy that began in 1942. What started as a small family business has flourished into one of the most sought-after event design studios in Chicago, celebrated for our impeccable artistry, attention to detail, and heartfelt service.
Elevated full-service event design rooted in warmth, style & story
Weddings
Every wedding we design is deeply personal and one of a kind. Our approach is collaborative and transparent, working closely with you to explore what’s possible within your investment. At Taylor & Co, we don’t say “no”, we say, “here’s how.” With the right creativity, planning, and expertise, we make even the most ambitious dreams come to life.
Galas
When designing gala décor, there’s a fine line to walk: you want to create a stunning, elegant atmosphere, but you also need to ensure your guests see that you are thoughtful and creative — not lavishly overspending. At TAYLOR & CO, we specialize in striking that perfect balance. We believe the smartest, most impactful design doesn’t have to come from the biggest budget — it comes from imagination, artistry, and attention to detail that make every dollar count and make your donors feel appreciated for the role they play in your success.
Holiday
Our founder, Derrick Taylor, brings a lifelong passion for holiday design, shaped by his decade as a senior designer at the legendary Marshall Field’s department store in Chicago — a name known internationally for its breathtaking holiday windows, iconic Christmas traditions, and magical in-store displays. At Marshall Field’s, Derrick learned that holiday décor is about far more than just trees and lights — it’s about evoking wonder, nostalgia, and excitement in every detail.
Corporate
When planning a corporate event, there’s a delicate balance to strike: you want to impress your guests and reflect your brand’s excellence, but you also need to communicate purpose, professionalism, and intention — not excess. At TAYLOR & CO, we specialize in finding that sweet spot. We believe the most effective events aren’t about flashy spending — they’re about meaningful design, smart strategy, and thoughtful details that leave a lasting impression on clients, partners, and teams alike.
Milestones
When designing milestone celebrations, there’s a fine line to walk: you want the event to feel momentous and memorable, but you also want it to reflect authenticity, intention, and heart — not extravagance for its own sake. At Taylor & Co, we specialize in striking that perfect balance. We believe the most meaningful celebrations don’t rely on the biggest budgets — they come to life through creativity, storytelling, and thoughtful details that honor the journey and the people at the center of it all.
