In the fall of 2017, Gina Cramer and Ryan Kolder decided to join forces and start the Des Moines Wedding Show to help support the wedding industry in Des Moines. They both love planning events, bringing people together and highlighting the talented wedding professionals in the area.

Gina Cramer is the owner of Make it Happen Events and has been planning events and weddings for over 12 years. With her experience, she has learned the importance of a well-organized event, strong vendor relationships, teamwork and the connection between couples and wedding professionals.
Ryan Kolder is the owner of On the Spot and has experience with marketing and community events. His goal is to support and bring awareness to amazing events and showcase businesses. With his media relationships, he’s able to bridge the gap between wedding vendors and local media outlets to help market their business at the shows and year-round.

Together, Gina and Ryan have created Wedding Show Productions and produce 4 shows a year focused on quality wedding professionals and couples. With their experience in wedding planning and marketing, they bring you the most respected wedding shows in Iowa.
