Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Sophia Iverson. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Sophia , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to go back in time and hear the story of how you came up with the name of your brand?

Our story starts in 2019 when we decided to take our friendship to a business partnership. Our company, Ivy and Paige Events, is a blend of our two histories and experiences as well as the start of something new. Since we provide coordination and floral design that is client centered, based on attention to detail, and creative expression; we decided to take the most personal and intimate part of who we our, our first and middle names, and base our work and reputation on it.

Sophia Ivy and Whitney Paige not only became a logo by which we were known for; it grew into a business that we were passionate for the beautiful and classic moments that we were able to turn into timeless memories for our clients.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

At the end of the day we stepped into the service industry because of both of our hearts to serve. Although we provide event planning, coordination, and floral design, there is nothing as satisfying than knowing we were able to bring people’s dreams and heart desires to life! It makes everything so worth it when you’re able to take the clients needs and hopes and create a beautiful portrait moment that they will carry with them all of their life! One of our key mottos is dedication to excellence and attention to detail! Like Walt Disney said, “There is no magic in magic, it’s ALL in the details!”

Our goal is to create a seamless and stress free event; from start to finish, but as experienced coordinators of large events and weddings, we know it’s often not a matter of ‘IF’ something will go awry; it’s a matter of ‘WHEN’! We are proud to thrive in the space of solving unexpected hiccups with creativity! Thinking outside of the box is definitely one of the best parts!

Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?

Sophia Ivy here! I actually met Whitney Paige through the process of planning my own wedding! It was my first time taking on the daunting task of planning ones own wedding, and Whitney revolutionized my process! The gift she was able to give me of a happy and joyous planning experience was something I could never repay! I knew from that day onward that I lived to be able to share that gift and happiness with as many people as I could!

After enough people suggested we start a business together, we finally met up at Chuy’s during happy hour, wrote our business plan and name on a napkin, and the rest was history!

How did you build your audience on social media?

Social media was something we both were not very active on prior to our business, but I can attest first hand how much of a blessing it can be to a small and upcoming business! Besides being a free type of advertisement, it is the perfect platform to show off the uniqueness and creativity of what you bring! The biggest piece of advice that I’ve learned is to just be yourself; original, genuine, and enthusiastic in whatever you put your hands to! People are tired of seeing the cookie cutter and impersonable side of corporate businesses. They want to see authenticity and passion! Show off the real side of business and the hard work you put in; not only the perfect end result!
