The Ivey House was the perfect venue for our wedding day! Amy and the team were a joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication was always clear, supportive, and handled with care, making wedding planning much less stressful. They worked hard behind the scenes so that my husband and I could simply enjoy our special day. The venue itself is gorgeous, and they helped bring our vision to life with beautiful, organized decor.
