Meet Ivy

My name is Ivy and my story is not the typical, "I planned my own wedding so I decided to become a wedding planner." My story is made for Reality Television. Make sure you ask me how I became a wedding planner when we meet. The Silk Veil has been in business for over 16 years and we have planned or coordinated over 900 weddings and events.
Before becoming a wedding planner, I spent 15 years in Corporate America. Those jobs included working in claims, accounting, inventory and purchasing. I received my First Certification, Certified Bridal Consultant (PF/ABC), in 2008. My Second Certification is a Certified Wedding Planner (AA-WP which is American Academy of Wedding Professionals) which I received the following year. I am trained to teach the Wedding Planning Course written by AA-WP (American Academy of Wedding Professionals) In 2010, I formed the first North Carolina Chapter of the National Organization AAWP and I am their first NC President. I am RASP certified, ServSafe Certified, and a prior member of AA-WP (American Academy of Wedding Professionals) and ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants). I have also held the title of Director of Sales and Catering at GCC and have an AA in Business Administration and a BBA with a major in Business Hospitality and Travel.
We love what we do and it shows!
