What People Are Saying about CUTE STORY
“Ryan Criswell is an excellent team player with strong attention to detail and a positive attitude. Ryan's communication skills are exemplary. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Ryan and would recommend them for project planning and management, lead and client relationship nurturing, and logistics.”
Sarah Bond, Family Focus Media
“Ryan takes on enormous tasks that they complete handily, never missing a deadline. Ryan is not one to shy away from commitment and responsibility.
Ryan is well-spoken and intellectual, and they light up when talking about their ideas for a successful event. Not only can Ryan hold their own behind the keyboard, they can also solve problems on the fly, which is essential at every event as something unexpected always occurs, no matter how much planning was put into it.”
Steve Brockway, SXSW
“Their ability to take on projects independently, and see them through fruition was an incredible asset to the festival as a whole. Ryan was responsible for scouting locations; negotiating terms; coordinating staffing and managing the lounge throughout the festival.
From the beginning stages, it was clear that Ryan had the organizational and problem-solving skills, work ethic, and enthusiasm to tackle this project.”
Alex Gibson, Philadelphia fiLM sOCIETY

What’s the Story?
Ryan is an event enthusiast with a keen sense of humor and the ability to plan experiences down to the last detail. Ryan began their event adventure in hotels & restaurants, planning conferences and banquets for up to 200 guests in vibrant venues. Ryan moved on to creating amazing experiences at the Philadelphia Film Festival and SXSW. With the current shift in the event landscape, Ryan has recently worked with an agency to plan virtual and hybrid events for up to 400 attendees. Cute Story Events was born out of Ryan’s passion to get every detail right the first time and to continue to connect with new people to create unique and memorable experiences!
Honest and Open Communication
We love when clients dream big! But event planning (especially budgeting) can quickly go astray if everything is not in order. We will give you our honest and expert opinion on what will work best for you, your audience and your budget.
Positivity & coNNECTION
We love smiling. It’s our favorite. Event planning can be stressful, especially when you have a million other tasks on your plate. We invite new challenges with open arms and do the problem-solving for you. We are cool, calm, and collected under pressure and will always connect with our clients and make sure they feel at ease during the planning process.
Our Values
Good work takes time
Sure, you could get your cousin Scott AwesomeMan to plan your next event for next to nothing, but will it really be the unique experience you want? Leave the planning to experts who dream about timelines and spreadsheets.
