The GRN Events team is a group of free-thinking individuals with a passion for planning, design, and marketing. Our varied backgrounds and unique skill sets allow for limitless possibilities, unparalleled service, and results that truly reflect our client’s needs.
Chrissy Gray: Founder and Creative Director
Seeing a need for environmentally sustainable event planning in the southern
California region, owner Chrissy Gray coupled her love of creating memorable
parties with her passion for environmental conservation, forming GRN Events
in the spring of 2007. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, with a
minor in Environmental Studies from California State University Fullerton,
and is certified in Meeting and Event Management, as well as Green Event Planning.
Chrissy is a So Cal native and currently resides in Costa Mesa. When she’s
not planning the next big event Chrissy can usually be found riding her beach
cruiser along the Orange County shores, exploring new hiking trails, or checking
out the local music scene. Her attention to detail and ability to translate
her client’s creative vision has made her, along with GRN Events, a name
to remember in the event planning industry.
