The  team of Ivory & Pearls

From below to the top: Irene Okech - Haneveld, qualified wedding planner with a diploma  and owner of Ivory & Pearls. Since 2000 we have been organizing safaris. I felt that it was time to go for a new challenge. The idea of starting a wedding planner agency was born after a long stay in Kenya.

In 2007 and 2008 we lived in Kenya for a longer period of time and we met many tourists who got married in Kenya. I found out that there is quite some interest in getting married in Kenya. However it is hard to find information and an specialized agency for weddings in Kenya and Tanzania. While both countries have lots to offer concerning wedding locations. So the idea came up to start an wedding planning agency for Kenya and Tanzania. We selected beautiful and romantic wedding venues. We created a team of local wedding planners employed by Ivory & Pearls and professional photographers, visagists, hairdressers, decorations designers etc to make your wedding day a perfect day and one not to forget.  

Marion Obura is one of our wedding planners. Being passionate about her job and obtaining a diploma from the wedding planning school in Nairobi she is the right person to cooperate with. Marion will assist us especially at the big wedding events. Furthermore we work with freelance weddingplanners and trainees to fit into our team.

How we function as a team we have proved as you can find our portfolio at  http://sharity-safaris.write2me.nl/
Trust us for weddings we will even give more efforts cause we realize that a wedding day is once in a lifetime and can not like a safari be done over again....

We have successfully organized weddings at several locations and now are very busy with planned marriage ceremonies in the Masai Mara, churches in Mombasa, at the beaches!
