I’ve always loved bringing people together. Even as a kid, I could find an excuse to throw a party, especially one where everyone felt welcome and every little detail mattered.

After studying Hospitality in college, becoming a wedding planner felt like the most natural path. I started my career in the hospitality world, working closely with a seasoned wedding planner and gaining invaluable hands-on experience behind the scenes. Over the past nine years, I’ve had the privilege of planning and designing weddings all over Charleston, with a background that also includes floral design and venue management. Each step of the way has shaped how I serve my couples today: with warmth, creativity, professionalism, and a whole lot of heart.

Emma Ivey Events is a full-service planning and design studio for couples who want a celebration that truly reflects who they are. I’ll walk with you from our first call to your final send-off, handling the logistics, crafting a thoughtful design, and curating a trusted team of vendors who get your style and vision.

When you work with me, you can trust that I’ll handle every detail with care and expertise, from logistics to design to building your dream vendor team. I take on a select number of weddings each year so that I can pour myself fully into each couple’s experience. My role is not just to plan your wedding but to protect your vision, advocate for you, and create a celebration that feels unique and deeply personal.

No templates, no pressure, just a seamless, personal experience that lets you enjoy the moment and feel like a guest at your own wedding.

Weddings with heart, handled with care
