Tell us a little bit about your business.
Your wedding day is more than a single moment – it’s a collection of feelings, connections, and memories that deserve to be experienced fully and intentionally.
At Kristen Gornall Events, celebration is a mindset. I’m Kristen – founder, lead planner, and creative force behind KGE – and I design elevated wedding experiences that feel effortless, personal, and deeply rooted in who you are. Every decision is made with intention, every detail has a purpose, and joy is always at the center.
When you work with KGE, you’re gaining more than a planner. You’re gaining a trusted partner, a calm presence, and someone who cares just as deeply about your wedding as you do. From full-service planning and seamless wedding management to modern day-of content creation, my role is to carry the weight of the details so you can stay present with your people and soak in every moment.
At Kristen Gornall Events, love is love – full stop. I proudly celebrate and honor couples all races, genders, identities, religions, and backgrounds. Every love story deserves to be told with intention, respect, and joy. With KGE, you’ll always find a welcoming, inclusive space where your wedding day is a true reflection of who you are – surrounded by love, authenticity, and acceptance. End of story.
What makes your work unique?
My work is shaped by over a decade in the corporate strategy and events industry – a background that brings structure, foresight, and calm to even the most dynamic wedding days. I know how to anticipate what’s coming, pivot seamlessly when plans shift, and protect the experience so it feels smooth and elevated from start to finish.
That strategic foundation is paired with a modern creative eye and a deep understanding of today’s wedding culture and content. I don’t just plan beautiful days – I design experiences that feel good in the moment and live on meaningfully afterward.
Above all, I lead with connection. I listen closely, advocate fiercely for my couples, and show up fully invested. I want you to feel supported, organized, and genuinely excited throughout the process – because when trust is there, everything flows better. It’s simply how I’m wired.
Give me ten minutes, and you’ll feel the difference.
What is your ideal client like?
My ideal clients know what they want their wedding to feel like – even if they don’t know how to execute it yet. They value intention over tradition, experience over perfection, and trust over control.
Planning a wedding comes with a lot of noise – opinions, decisions, and tiny details that add up quickly. When you let me take the lead, you can breathe easier knowing your day is being handled with care, creativity, and the same level of thought I’d give my own.
Together, we create a wedding that tells your love story authentically and effortlessly – no rules, no pressure, just what feels right to you.
How do you work with couples to bring their wedding dreams to life?
The best planning partnerships feel intuitive, collaborative, and even a little fun. We begin with a deep-dive conversation to understand who you are, what matters most, and how you want your day to feel – then I translate that vision into a thoughtfully designed, real-life experience.
From there, I guide you through a streamlined planning process with personalized tools, intentional check-ins, and a detailed timeline that allows everything to unfold seamlessly. With years of experience behind me, I know what to anticipate before it happens – which means you don’t have to.
My goal is simple: for you to feel calm, confident, and completely present on your wedding day – soaking in the moments, the people, and the joy you worked so hard to create. Let’s do this.
