Mackenzie Ives
Meet the Founder

Mackenzie Ives D'Amato

For as long as I can remember, I've been the person friends, family, and colleagues turned to for planning life's celebrations, from milestone birthdays and engagement parties to destination weekends and corporate gatherings, simply because I loved bringing people together.

Professionally, I've spent nearly eight years at a Big Four consulting firm leading large-scale projects and coordinating complex timelines and stakeholders. That foundation shaped how I approach every event: with organization, clear communication, and meticulous execution.

After planning my own destination wedding in Portugal, I combined that professional expertise with my passion for hosting to create Ives & Ivory Events, a boutique planning company dedicated to celebrations that feel intentional, effortless, and deeply personal.

Cocktail Hour in the Gardens

Loures, Portugal · Palácio de Queluz
My fiancé and I quickly realized that planning a European wedding from the States was no simple task, and we needed help! From our very first meeting with Mackenzie of Ives and Ivory, we knew we were in good hands. She came prepared, took the time to get to know us and our vision, and worked with us to set clear expectations for what we wanted from a wedding planner. Walking out of that meeting was the first time I felt truly excited, not stressed, about planning our wedding. We’re now in the thick of planning with Mackenzie, and she continues to keep everything organized and on track while making the whole process genuinely fun. She consistently thinks of things we didn’t even know to consider, which has saved us from so many would-be surprises down the road. We can’t wait to see it all come together on our big day. Highly recommend Ives and Ivory!

Mackenzie brings an incredible level of thoughtfulness and attention to detail to everything she does. When she planned our engagement party, every little touch made me feel so special and reflected me so perfectly. It made an already unforgettable day feel even more meaningful.
