About Us
Experience and Expertise
Imagination, ingenuity, and experience to design and produce spectacular events: that is what defines Illusions of Grandeur II, Inc. For over 40 years, we have been the trusted event design and decor source for corporate and social events across the Monterey Peninsula and beyond.
Our in-house custom fabrication shop and full-service floral department set us apart as a true one-stop shop. From concept to installation, everything is handled by our team. No outsourcing, no handoffs, no surprises.
Based in Sand City, we are a preferred vendor for the major hotels and venues in our area. Whether your event is at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, a tent overlooking the Pebble Beach Golf Course, or a private estate in Carmel Valley, our team manages every detail of the installation. While the majority of our work takes place on the Monterey Peninsula and throughout Monterey County, our clients have taken us as far north as Napa and as far south as Palm Springs. We regularly serve clients across Santa Cruz County, Silicon Valley, and the broader Bay Area.
We partner with hotels, caterers, photographers, destination management companies, and entertainment agencies to deliver events that are professionally designed, flawlessly executed, and built around your vision. Whether you are a meeting planner branding a corporate gala or a couple planning your wedding day, our goal is the same: bring your vision to life.
