086: Ivy Robinson - Superstar Charlotte and Lake Norman Wedding Planner

Welcome back to the podcast. I really do feel lucky to have had so many really great guests on the podcast over the past year and a half, all of our guests are special. Now, having said that, let me just say that I have a real treat for you in this episode. Our guest first joined us back in the Fall of 2020 for The Best of Charlotte podcast - our sister production featuring conversations with founders, CEO’s, influencers, and nonprofits based in Charlotte, North Carolina. I recently invited her to join us here on The Best of LKN because, well, as you’ll soon learn, she has worked with some of the most recognizable and influential names in the Lake Norman area. She is a wonderful guest, so much fun, supremely talented, and we are so lucky to feature her here on the podcast.Now, who’s our guest in this episode? Well, her name is Ivy Robinson, and she is Charlotte’s superstar wedding planner! Talented, dynamic, energetic - Ivy is an event planning genius that has been commissioned by some of the most discerning Charlotte and Lake Norman area couples, families, and companies to bring their most important events to life. During our conversation, Ivy shares how she landed in the event planning industry accidentally while pursuing a career in broadcast communications. We talk a bit about the challenges of planning events during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how 2021 has become a fast and furious year for the industry.Ivy gives a few local small business shoutouts, and of course, I inquire about some of those big local Lake Norman names for whom she’s planned weddings. You’re going to recognize those names, along with one really beautiful nonprofit charity event held in an airplane hangar in Statesville. Welcome to episode 86.
