Let's not just plan a wedding, but create a celebration of love, where every detail reflects your story!
My first event experience was over 7 years ago organizing and hosting a karate tournament. From there my love of the event industry blossomed and I have been planning events since. I have planned all different types of events including private parties, concerts, retreats and of course weddings. I LOVE love and weddings are my favorite events to plan. In between weddings, I am either traveling or reading!
I am so thrilled you have landed on our page and can't wait to get to know you and how I can help you achieve your wedding dream!

We knew we needed someone to help us plan things along the way and to help on the day-of, and Ruby was a fantastic choice. Ruby was incredibly organized and helped us keep all our ducks in a row. She kept all of our vendors on the same page and ensured we had everything we needed. I can’t begin to thank her enough for the amazing job she did on the day of our reception, whether that was helping get the decorations up, vendors in place and everyone enjoying the evening. I will continue to recommend Ruby/Red Canyon Events to anyone that will listen. You wont be disappointed by having her be part of your special day.

Ruby was incredible to work with!! Hire her and her team - you will not be disappointed! Our venue required a wedding planner and I am so glad they did! We hired Ruby for our wedding and now I cannot imagine not having a wedding planner. Ruby worked so well with my budget. I was most impressed with her PROFESSIONALISM and organization. She is very attentive to detail and time! She has great experience and it shows!

Ruby was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding planner. She has the characteristics that we thought were necessary to be successful in this field: she is prompt, organized, maintains composure when the unexpected happens, and has experience. Most importantly, however, she was easy to work with, cared for us well, and made our wedding experience infinitely more enjoyable by taking care of as much as she possibly could. We're thankful for you, Ruby!

Ruby was our wedding planner, and I am so happy we chose to work with her. I was stressed in the early months about planning and feeling overwhelmed with all the vendor choices we had to make but she helped keep me calm and reassured me that I was on track and that everything would turn out well. She has a network of vendors that are really lovely! Ruby has great organizational skills and I used and appreciated all of the planning resources she provided. Her seating chart software was exactly what I needed. Every call we had was productive and she responded quickly to my numerous texts and emails. A couple little extras - she helped me choose my bridesmaid dresses by doing multiple mockups of different dresses and colors because I really needed visuals. When I couldn't get my name cards, seating chart and table cards printed at Office Depot and emailed her in a panic, she gave me printer recommendations and reached out on my behalf so that I could get a discount on printing...
