Ryann Kristena Events was founded in Orange County, California. In 2024, I had the opportunity to expand into Salt Lake City / Park City Utah. I have always offered wedding planning services all over, and I love to travel. By intentionally limiting the number of weddings in both California and Utah, we ensure that each couple receives the personalized attention and care that they deserve.

I have a background in theatre design and stage management, and I think those skills have helped with my creative eye and attention to detail.

We are a female owned, LGBTQIA+ friendly business.

Fun Facts about me: I have been married to my husband, also named Ryan, for 9 years. | I am vegan. | I have three kids, one dog, and one bunny. | I am a big fan of coffee and collect coffee mugs. Oat milk lattes are my go-to order. | I have always loved organization and planning, and am so blessed to be a wedding planner.

You’ll love working with us if:

  • you want an intentional ceremony

  • you want someone you trust, who understands your vision

  • you value a wedding that focuses on guest experience

  • you want a cohesive design

  • you are interested in transforming unique venues
