About Ryann Kristena Events:

Ryann is an alternative wedding planner who built her business in the beautiful Southern California, and expanded into Utah. Like Morticia Addams, she believes that “black is such a happy color.” Dark romantic and gothic weddings are where we thrive; we bring in rich deep colors, dramatic floral designs, and intentional decor to set the tone for these wedding celebrations. The surrounding nature of Utah, and the beautiful venues in Park City offer endless possibilities for creative design and transformation into dark romance.
