the go-to wedding planner for New Orleans’ couples with distinguished tastes and big dreams

About J. Ivy Affairs

Lead Creative Director | Founder of J. Ivy Affairs | Eternal Optimist

While planning can be stressful if not approached with the right strategy, I work from a different belief: wedding planning should be FUN. You’re preparing to celebrate the best day of your life. You’re providing your friends and family a once-in-a-lifetime experience. What could be more fun than that?

My Glass Half-Full Approach

Truthfully, people have always tended to gravitate toward me because I remain optimistic even in the most stressful situations. I have an uncanny way of always finding the good, and when it comes to celebrating love stories, there is so much good!

Who We Serve 

Originally from Mississippi, I’ve made New Orleans my home. Here, I’ve served some of the most stylish and elegant couples, providing them and their guests with the kind of luxurious experience they’ve dreamed about from the moment they fell in love. No matter your vision, there is no challenge too big for our team.
