Mrs. Moore

I got married on July 10, 2021, and I loved working with Mrs. Michole. I trusted her creativity, and she came through. My wedding was done in excellence. I love the structure and order of the ceremony and reception. I enjoyed myself, and I was more than happy. Mrs. Michole goes above and beyond to make sure your special day goes according to plan. She is worth the price you will pay.

Outstanding!

I cannot articulate how grateful I am that we chose to work with Michole and her Ivy League Affairs team for our wedding day! I personally experienced anxiety in all the key details in the planning and decision making that needed to be made to perfect our special day. Michole was patient, resourceful, easily accessible, and knowledgeable. She helped us to bring our vision to a reality that reflected who we are as a couple. She eased so much anxiety for me and truly made us comfortable in every aspect of the planning to the day we became one. Our day ran so smoothly! Her team provided quality and exceptional service! As a bride, there is nothing greater than to know you are being taking care of and are able to focus on enjoying that special day with the one you waited your entire life for. Our day was perfect for us! We couldn't have achieved this level of perfection without the love, care, and support of Ivy League Affairs!

You're looking for Quality, Experience and Efficiency?

One thing I kept saying is, "I wish we would have found Michole sooner!" After looking around and working with others, I've never met anyone more professional and efficient in this business than the staff at Ivy League Affairs. Michole had answers for everything, every "t" crossed and "i" dotted. Every hard decision was made easy thanks to her. Not to mention, her experience and extensive list of professional connections with vendors in the area really impressed us!

The team was so impressive, we received positive feedback from the bridal party, our guests and even the venue staff where we chose to have our wedding. I would use Ivy League Affairs again and again, as well as recommend their services to anyone in the area!

We can't hank you enough,
Dacquan and April

Working with Ivy League affairs on wedding programs for one of their couples was one of the easiest jobs I've done. It is a breath of fresh air to work with a company that is so extremely organized and communicates effectively. I welcome the opportunity to work with Ivy League affairs in the future.

Behind The Scenes Inc Behind The Scenes Inc Wedding Planners

We worked with Ivy League Affairs planning a wedding for Wish Upon A Wedding. Not only was the wedding fantastic the all of the professionals that she worked with loved her and the couple and their family were floored by what she accomplished and the ease in which she accomplished it. I would have Michole plan my own wedding...well vow renewal!
