WEDDING PLANNING & DESIGN
ABOUT US
ABOUT IVANA JAMES & CO
​
Throughout the process of planning my own wedding I was inspired by so many wonderful & incredibly talented professionals. Their drive, creativity and skill left me in awe. I knew that I wanted to be a part of this crazy, beautiful wedding world.
​
I decided to put my Event Coordinating & Marketing background to use and bring my passion project to life.
This is how Ivana James & co was born.
​
ABOUT IVANA
​
I grew up just outside of Toronto, Ontario. I moved to Toronto in my early twenties to take on one of my first jobs in advertising as an Event Coordinator.
​
Currently during the week, I spend my 9-5 days working in Marketing Strategy. In the evenings & weekend is when the event planning magic happens.
​
I am a mama, a wife, and animal rescue advocate. In my down-time I am a real-estate and home design junkie, food and wine enthusiast, and live for travel. I believe that seeing the world broadens your horizons and opens your eyes & imagination.
My ideal Friday night is: me at home in sweats, glass of wine in hand, fireplace crackling, some sort of acoustic music playing, and my husband cooking a fresh pasta.
ABOUT JAZ
​
I also grew up just outside of Toronto, Ontario, and have spent the past 15 years working in both the Ski & Snowboard industry, as well as the Competitive Dance world.
​
Working in competitive dance my focus was on events - Dance Competitions. Chaos, high energy, heightened emotions, and 16 hour days were the norm. And while I loved it, I am ready shift my focus, and channel my energy into Weddings.
​
When I'm not working you can find me mostly outdoors snowboarding with my husband and friends, taking our pup Stevie on long hikes on the trails, or maybe popping into a craft brewery for a drink.
​
Fun fact: My favourite place in the world is the West Coast (BC) and if I could transport my family & everyone I love, I'd live there in a heart beat.
