A bout the Onwers
Hello, and welcome. We are Brian and Tyrene Cook—the owners, creators, and visionaries behind Illuminations.
What began as a labor of love for our eldest daughter’s wedding—transforming a simple fairgrounds pavilion in rural Kansas into a magical and elegant reception space—quickly revealed a deeper passion within us. From there, we went on to coordinate weddings and events for family and friends, discovering along the way that this was more than a moment—it was a calling.
With prayer, patience, and unwavering faith, we were blessed with the land, the breathtaking views, and the opportunity to bring that vision to life. With Brian’s expertise in construction and Tyrene’s imagination and hands-on determination, we came together and broke ground on July 30, 2021.
In the months that followed, with the support of friends and family, Illuminations at Arrow Vista Ranch was built—piece by piece—into what it is today.
A dream realized.
Now, we invite couples, families, and friends to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments here. Whether your gathering is large or small, your story becomes a part of ours.
Welcome to Illuminations.
