Out-of-the-Box Bride

For every bride, there is a wedding planner who knows how to make your dreams come true, no matter how non-traditional or out-of-the-box you think they may be. Whether you love blush and ivory or black and lace, finding the perfect planner for you can make all the difference in planning your dream wedding. For all the alternative brides, Ryann Kristena Events is the perfect alternative Utah wedding planner for you.

Ryann’s talent for creating the most gorgeous alternative and non-traditional weddings has us considering adding black to all our color palettes. She creates weddings for couples who want something different—whatever that may be.

Black is a Happy Color

Ryann’s expertise and eye for creating the most amazing, unique weddings comes from her own style and tastes. “Everything I own is black, just like Morticia Adams. I joke with friends that it’s such a happy color.”

BRB, adding black to our list of happy colors now!

“I think dark is so much more interesting than light and fluffy—and not only black, but you can use red and make it darker like a deep burgundy, or same with purples, and I think there’s so much that you can do with a darker theme, and I love that.”

She’s the kind of alternative Utah wedding planner who won’t say no when you tell her what you want.

“I wish that I had someone 10 years ago when I got married to say, ‘You can do this.’” And now she does just that for her couples!

The Four Ds from the Alternative Utah Wedding Planner

It’s easy to get in touch with Ryann Kristena Events, and even easier to become instant friends with her. Every client starts with a call, where she’ll figure out exactly what kind of wedding you’re looking for, whether you need her for full planning or basic event coordination. “I want to make sure I know what it is that they actually need!”

Ryann follows her framework of the “four D’s:” development, design, details, and day-of.

“In our development phase, we kind of build and develop the base of the wedding—like budget, venue, key vendors. And then from there, we move on to the design—all things pretty. Do we want the dark colors? Do we want some of the lighter colors?”

Ryann will take your vision and turn it into an incredibly gorgeous dream come true—no matter how dark or mysterious your design is. She knows how to find the best vendors for you, to make sure you get the wedding you’ve always wanted.

“Once we’ve got the design and your key vendors, we start focusing on the logistics. What time does everyone show up? Where are things going, the layout, all that stuff. We do that collaboratively with all the vendors.”

Take it from us, you want a professional alternative Utah wedding planner to make your wedding day perfect. “I’ve been in business for a long time. I know how long it takes to feed a hundred people.” And much more where that came from!

Ryann Has Your Back

What sets Ryann apart alongside being an alternative Utah wedding planner, is her ability to have your back no matter what.

“I get it—you want something different and I get it. Anyone can design you a pretty, dark wedding, but who’s gonna have your back on it? Yes, get the black dress, or yes, let’s do these darker flowers. Or no—why do you need a bouquet? You don’t need a bouquet if you don’t want one.”

No matter your preference with development, design, details, or day-of, Ryann will make sure you get the wedding of your dreams!

She’s also here to help you when the nerves kick in—when you’re second-guessing your wedding details because they’re not traditional.

“I like being their support person. The week before, two weeks before, if you start second-guessing yourself, I’m here to tell you no, this is just wedding jitters—we’re gonna stick to the plan. I myself got wedding jitters, and then I ended up with pink tablecloths at my wedding, and I don’t even like the color pink!”

Whether you’re a pink lover or not, Ryann helps with every moment leading up to your big day to make sure it goes according to plan, which is the best quality to have in an alternative Utah wedding planner.

Focus on What You Want

Ryann’s advice for couples who are planning their wedding is not to listen to absolutely everyone. “Focus on what the two of you want, because at the end of the day, that’s what you’re there for. It’s about the two of you. Keep that as the focus and don’t necessarily listen to all the outside advice that you’re inevitably going to get.”

And like we said before, Ryann will be the girl to back you up when you go for something that’s different! You don’t have to do anything just because it’s “traditional.” She’s the perfect alternative Utah wedding planner, from the first time you meet her to the moment you head for your honeymoon.
