About Ivory & Ink

I’ve always loved bringing structure to chaos—whether that’s helping business owners reclaim their time, planning stress-free events, or making wedding dreams a reality. After 13 years working in the not-for-profit sector, events, hospitality, and admin, I knew I wanted to build a business that truly helped people feel more in control and less overwhelmed.

As a mum and business owner, I know how busy life gets. That’s why I’m passionate about taking tasks off your plate—so you can focus on what matters, whether that’s growing your business or enjoying your big day.

Meet Gemma - ready to be your new business or wedding bff!

Get to know Gemma a little better....


I love reading in a cosy coffee shop – Give me a good book, a quiet corner, and a slice of cake, and I’m in my happy place. It’s my little escape from the busyness of everyday life!

I’m happiest when exploring with my family – Whether it’s a day out in Dorset, a seaside walk, or a cosy film night, I love making memories with the people who matter most.

I’m a crafting queen – I love crochet and cross-stitch, but I’m always excited to learn something new—there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a project come to life.

Ivory & Ink is more than just a business to me—it’s about helping others regain their time and reduce stress, allowing you to focus on what matters most.

Why Work With Me?

  • I bring order to chaos. Whether it’s sorting a messy inbox, planning an event, or managing wedding logistics, I love bringing structure and making life easier for my clients.

  • I’m your reliable right-hand person. Think of me as the calm in the storm, keeping everything on track so you can focus on what truly matters.

  • Over a decade of experience. With a background in hospitality, admin, event planning, and not-for-profit work, I know how to handle both the big picture and the small details. From coordinating large-scale events to streamlining charity operations, I bring a practical, problem-solving approach to every project.

  • I make things feel easy. Working together should be stress-free, not another task on your to-do list. I genuinely care about my clients and love helping them feel more in control.

  • I can adapt with you. Every client is different, and I shape my support around what you need—whether it’s virtual assistance, event planning, or wedding coordination. As your needs evolve, so will my approach.

  • I care about making a difference. Alongside my client work, I support not-for-profit organisations by streamlining processes, securing funding, and helping them achieve their goals. Giving back is important to me, and I bring that same dedication to every project.

  • I focus on people, not just tasks. Whether you're running a business, planning a wedding, or hosting an event, I take the time to understand what’s important to you so I can offer support that genuinely makes a difference.

I was nervous about handing over plans to someone else, however knew I just couldn’t do it all. My worries faded as soon as I met Gemma, warm, bubbly and friendly, I knew she was the one who could save me.
She has a wonderful way of making your dreams become reality, a true fairy godmother. I cannot thank or recommend Gemma enough.

I'm a self employed hairdresser and I find keeping up with my paperwork such a chore and always ignore the pile of paperwork that needs to be done!
But then Gemma came to my rescue and now keeps my bookwork shipshape and up to date!
I cannot be more thankful to her she works wonders.
Thank you Gemma you're a god send to me,
I can now just concentrate on my work without the added stress of paperwork. X 😊
