We cannot speak more highly about Jason Mitchell Kahn's exceptional service as our wedding planner! As gay couple, we appreciated his understanding and expertise in managing the wedding industry for an LGBTQ+ couple. Jason's attention to detail was impressive, ensuring every aspect of our special day was meticulously considered. His curated vendor selection was top-notch, providing us with talented professionals who shared his commitment to excellence. Specifically, Jason's planning tools and customized templates kept us organized and on track throughout the process. On the wedding day itself, Jason's team delivered a seamless execution, allowing us to be totally present and enjoy every moment. The event unfolded flawlessly. Jason's dedication, expertise, and passion for creating uniquely unforgettable weddings make him an invaluable asset to any couple. We're forever grateful to him and his team.
If you're looking for a wedding planner who will turn your dreams into reality with unparalleled skill and grace, look no further than Jason. From start to finish, Jason's attention to detail was nothing short of extraordinary. He approached our three-day wedding affair, spanning multiple elements and locations, with meticulous planning and a calm demeanor that was truly reassuring.
Jason's dedication was evident in every aspect of our wedding. Despite being based in New York while our celebration was in LA, he made the journey multiple times to ensure every detail was perfect. His presence during crucial decision-making moments made all the difference and his ability to recommend top-notch vendors ensured that every element of our wedding was executed flawlessly.
Jason’s team mirrored his excellence, offering incredible support throughout the entire process. His intelligence, combined with his calm and collected nature, is exactly what you need in a wedding planner. Thanks to Jason, our special day was nothing short of magical. We cannot recommend him highly enough – he gave us the best day of our lives and made our dreams come true.
JMK is the absolute best! Jason and his team were so helpful guiding us through the planning process and keeping it as low stress as possible. The entire weekend went off without a hitch and we couldn’t have been happier with how it all went. Our wedding was so great that we received 3 thank you notes from guests for putting together such an epic wedding! Thanks you Team JMK!!
We couldn't be happier having Jason Mitchell Kahn & Co help organize our special day. From the initial meeting all the way through the big ceremony and even the day after, Jason and his team had played an integral part of the entire process. Their team did a tremendous job in putting it all together so that my spouse and I didn't have to worry other than enjoy the big day together! Extremely professional but also very receptive to late changes and able to accommodate all our needs! We valued his expertise and also his devotion through the process. The venue we chose was beautiful, but was essentially a blank slate. Jason and his team was really put to work to making the wedding so extremely successful, we honestly didn't know what we would've done without them! Highly recommend!!!
Jason and team made our planning effortless and almost stress free. Their recommendations on vendors were exceptional. They are a pleasure to work with and highly recommend.
Jason and Giovanni and team were excellent. They came highly recommended, so we felt good right away, and even still they blew us out of the water. Getting every detail just right, taking each little (or big) thing off our plate, and plenty of things we never saw coming. For example, halfway through the night, a cousin came up and said she was having a great time, but she might have to leave early. The zipper had broken on her dress, and if she needed to use the restroom, she'd essentially have to rip her dress, and her evening would be over. Well, in swooped Jason and Giovanni with their 'Wedding Emergency Kit.' They whisked her away, FIXED THE DRESS, and she stayed until the end of the evening. We had a big wedding with lots of moving parts, none of which fazed Jason in the slightest. We could not have pulled off our dream wedding without him, and cannot recommend him and his team highly enough.
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Jason and his team for our wedding this past October. The whole process was smooth and enjoyable due to Jason’s eye for design, professionalism, and overall experience in the field. We are beyond grateful for their expertise!
From our initial consultation to the day of the event, JMK and Co. were not only organized, punctual, and attentive to detail, but communicative and efficient as well. They were always responsive, keeping us in the loop and addressing any concerns promptly. Their ability to listen and fully understand our simplistic vision made the entire collaboration enjoyable and stress-free.
When it came to execution, JMK and Co. truly emerged as luminaries in their field. The orchestration and operational efficiency of their team were palpable in every facet of our wedding event. The day unfolded seamlessly, allowing us to revel in the joy of the moment while they expertly navigated the logistics behind the scenes.
For those seeking a wedding planner who seamlessly marries design-forward thinking, unwavering professionalism, and excellence in communication and execution, look no further than JMK and Co. Jason's extensive time in the industry is evident in the magical experiences he crafts. We are appreciative for the indelible memories they helped us create. Thank you, Jason, for turning our dreams into an elegantly orchestrated reality!
Jason did an amazing job making all our dream come true. We had a TON of logistical and operational goals to make our wedding the way we wanted it to be, and Jason went above and beyond to work with all of our vendors to make everything magical and seamless, ensuring that our vision and our "usness" was the priority throughout the entire process. Cannot recommend enough. If you are thinking about hiring Jason and team, do it. If you are picking between Jason and team and another planner, pick Jason and team :)
Jason and his team were everything we dreamed of and more!! My husband and I were wowed from the start by his personal approach - he really took the time to get to know us as a couple before crafting the perfect wedding weekend for us, and it showed. His ideas turned our wedding into an intensely personalized and personal affair, with creative touches and thoughtful elements throughout. Our biggest fear was having a cookie-cutter celebration, and he crafted a next-level embodiment of our life and love that everyone said was “so US!” Funky decor, an interactive ceremony, a dynamic timeline - he totally understood our energy and crafted a weekend to match.
Beyond his endless creativity, he and his team handled every last tiny little detail the whole way through. We consulted on the fun stuff and they completely handled the minutiae of wedding planning - we knew every detail was in safe hands and were grateful to be spared the backend convos about parking, storage, chair widths, AV capabilities, etc without a second thought.
Finally Jason was such a supportive, caring, and truly thoughtful partner to have throughout this process. He was an angel and an ally during the typical bumps of wedding planning - tricky venues, family drama - and was especially attentive regarding our ceremony. Our celebrant, a poet and wordsmith (and the groom’s older sister!) had never married a couple before and was looking for guidance; Jason went above and beyond helping her craft an entire ceremony, editing drafts, fielding questions and ultimately ensuring her confidence - and of course, a beautiful final product. Thank you team JMK!!!
"Jason Mitchell Kahn and his team are nothing short of extraordinary! From bringing our design dreams to life with multiple options to curating a dream team of vendors, their creativity and dedication are unmatched. Jason's specialization in Gay weddings resonated with us, and the flawless execution on our big day left us in awe. Special kudos to Alex for his calming presence on the day and Dani for impeccable organization. Working with this phenomenal team was an absolute joy – our wedding was a magical experience thanks to their expertise!"
Jason and his team are just the best. Life savers, even. Every detail is accounted for and every request we made was accepted and created by Jason and the entire team. JMK helped plan our wedding with only a few months notice AND while I was working abroad. (I know, insane, right?) We could not have had the wedding of our dreams without them. We threw out weird ideas and they made them happen. We felt supported and taken care of the day of our wedding in a way that I never knew was possible. We have a very special place in our hearts for this wonderful team of people who we relied on during what could have been a very stressful time. And it honestly wasn’t stressful. Because they took care every detail before the wedding and were there for us and our entire family on the day of the wedding. Seriously. JMK is worth every penny. Working with them is one of the great decisions we’ve made as a couple and we are forever grateful to Jason and his incredible team. We recommend them a thousand times over.
As an English couple getting married in New York we had a lot to navigate along the way, and we felt that Jason and his team were there at every single stage to make the whole thing a smooth and enjoyable process. We wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend him to any other couple.
As two grooms we had a lot of our own ideas for the wedding and were able to identify and source many of the spaces & vendors that we needed, but Jason really helped us bring those different pieces together into a wonderful cohesive experience - always helping us take things to the next level.
Jason and his team really came into their own in the last month or so of the wedding - we could easily have been overwhelmed by everything coming together, especially from afar, but his team really took over all the contacts, practicalities and brought everything seemlessly together.
We loved working with Jason and felt that by the day itself he was just another of our friends who we were glad to have spending the day with us - his small team faded into the background and everything went perfectly to schedule. We were able to totally relax and enjoy things without once having to worry about practicalities.
Overall we had a fantastic wedding at the Bowery Hotel, and entertained our guests the day either side, and we couldn't have done any of it without Jason. We didn't keep things simple - we had different vendors providing flowers, lighting, catering... and unusually half a dozen different music providers. You wouldn't have known it wasn't just one team though.
We did a lot of the selection & planning ourselves but that was very much our own choice and how we scoped the service - we wouldnt hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
We had an extremely challenging and complex wedding to plan/execute, internationally, and Jason & Co. made everything we asked for happen. Some of the best parts about working with JMK are just him and his team as people and their creativity.
Our wedding would not have been half as good as it was without Jason. I truly cannot say enough kind things about him. Over the course of planning our wedding, he was a guide, an advisor, a manager and a friend. He really understood what we wanted our wedding to be, what made it special, and what made it "us." He had so many fantastic ideas for how to make it just a little more meaningful, or more fun for our guests, or more genuine. And on the day of, he was on top of EVERYTHING! I never needed to worry about a single thing, and when I DID worry (hey, it's my wedding day - I couldn't help it!) he had the most reassuring "girl, relax, I've got this" energy that let me go back to enjoying my (perfect) party. He did not miss a beat. Also, the suit he wore to match our venue was to DIE for.
Do not hesitate to hire this man and his wonderful team! Thank you Jason for making our day so very special!
We could not recommend Jason and his team more! From the very beginning to the end of our wedding it was a seamless process. Jason was understanding, kind and knew how to approach each hurdle with grace and confidence. He is personable and funny and dresses to the nines - we truly loved him. Jason also knows how to throw a party and have the most fun - even with us which we loved! It was a perfect day. Thank you Jason & co
Jason and his team are top notch! We had very high expectations for our wedding weekend and the team delivered above and beyond expectations. We had a larger guest count and it was a lot to manage, but JMK & Co came with a great vendor portfolio and delivered three days of incredible events. We learned that planning a wedding is certainly a collaboration with many, many decisions. JMK & Co kept things on track and focused and continually went back to the drawing board to meet our many specific requests. Our guests were blown away by the special, personal, and fun weekend. Many guests told us it was the best wedding they’d ever attended! We also appreciate the JMK Team's approach to working with vendors who support DEI in their workforce.
If you're thinking about hiring Jason and team DO IT! Really truly the best.
My wife(!) and I wanted a small intimate wedding that was super "us" but we are incredibly busy people. We decided we wanted a wedding in Los Angeles, where we met, despite living on the other side of the country.
From the first meeting Jason was incredibly reassuring that our small little dream wedding was not only possible, but completely doable. He helped us find amazing vendors, and everything was absolutely perfect. Our friends all remarked how "us" the wedding was, even though we had to do so little to make it happen. Jason listened to what we wanted and made it come to life. The day flew by and there wasn't even a second of stress in the entire planning process. And we were the worst type of clients! Very opinionated with no idea exactly what we wanted. But the team figured out exactly what we meant by our very vague descriptions.
Nearly six months later and friends and family still say what a great experience the day was. Thanks to Jason, Michael, and the rest of the team we didn't experience any wedding stress, and we have amazing photos, videos, and memories of our perfect day. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Jason and his team took care of all details, kept us on schedule and made everything go by seamlessly. Highly recommended.
Jason was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Professional, comforting when needed (and it is needed!), practical, experienced....really the whole 9 yards. My wife and I cannot recommend him enough...If you have the opportunity to work with Jason, you should!
Jason is, quite simply, the GOAT. In the process of planning our amazing wedding he became a lifelong friend and practically a member of our family. Excels at tailoring his planning to your style through active listening, high EQ, and really getting to know you (and caring!). He also has amazing attention to detail, excellent judgment, and the patience and tenacity to wrangle vendors. His superpower, though, is his heart of gold which will ensure any wedding he touches will be full of meaning, love, and joy.
There are no words for the dedication, attention to detail and absolute FABULOUSNESS of Jason Mitchell Kahn and his entire team of wedding wizards.
From our introductory call, through the entire planning process and up to the exquisite execution of our ceremony/event, we felt entirely seen and cared for by this thoughtful and adept team.
Jason was particularly amazing at helping us shape our non-traditional queer wedding dreams (with MGM trolley themes and Dolly Parton & Skeletor avatars!) into a reality. No idea was "too much" or "too personal". No detail was overlooked. And our guests got to experience a truly unique and personalized event from our hearts, that was also EXPERTLY executed.
Jason also navigated our day masterfully, protectively shielding us from any small problems that we didn't need to be concerned with, and taking wise initiatives to see our vision to the finish line... and doing so with abundant charm and style. We are also grateful that he made sure we were fed and had appropriate libations throughout the day!
The team communicated regularly with our many vendors... and that communication was always with professional kindness AND firmness -- ensuring success for all parties.
Hands down, Jason Mitchell Kahn & Company was the BEST investment we made toward our wedding day! And we would hire this team again in a nano-second.
HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
We engage Jason to plan our wedding before we announce it to our family and friends. From start to finish, he was the fly on the wall on every decision and a guide we needed in planning a momentous day.
He added some personal touch and created an exquisite event that our family and friends have come to relish. Thank you, JMK, for helping create the wedding of our dreams.
Nick & Edafe, July, 22.
Having Jason as our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made during our entire wedding planning process!
We booked Jason (and Dani) in March 2019 for our April 2020 Wedding Date in Upstate NY. When everything happened, we were about 50 days out from our wedding. Jason and Dani were right by our side (on Zoom at the time hahaha) through the entire emotional process of postponing our wedding. We ended up having to postpone an additional three more times and changed our Venue to here in NYC. Jason was essential in helping us through this entire journey. His knowledge of the industry is remarkable and he was able to help us find vendors that aligned with our vision and budget.
During the planning process, he provides so many resources to keep everything organized! There are so many factors that go into planning the wedding (when to send invites, when to order the décor, etc.) and Jason helps you through every step of the process. Jason and Dani turn your wedding into a well-oiled machine and as a Type A Bride on her fourth wedding date I was spinning; but I knew they had my back so nothing would get missed!
The team is there for you every step of the way with any questions you may have. Not even just about planning specific things. Wedding planning can be incredibly overwhelming, so many puzzle pieces to fit together with so much emotion, time, and money attached to it. You want the pros at JMK guiding you!
Jason’s eye for design is impeccable, he knows how to add those magical touches to bring your event to the next level. As a leader in the industry, he and his entire team will make sure your big day is seamless! So many little things can get crazy on the big day and Jason keeps you smiling and on target the whole time. He dealt with all the vendors on the day setting up and cleaning up so we did not need to worry about a thing.
Jason and his team are just fantastic people! They are absolutely the people you want in your corner and by your side on your wedding day! I cannot recommend Jason Mitchell Kahn enough!
We can’t even begin to describe what a delight it was to work with Jason and his team. He made what seemed impossible, possible. Jason had the answer to questions we didn’t even know to ask, which was huge. As two people who have never been married, we didn’t know which way was up sometimes. From being a sounding board of ideas, to having an incredible list of resources and fellow vendors, Jason had our bases covered from the very beginning. He helped us with any and all decisions, small or big. We are so grateful to have had a planner with such a well of knowledge but most importantly an amazing attitude. We walked away from every meeting with Jason having a better clearer understanding of our wedding story and knowing that alongside this team it was not only possible…it was happening! That was an incredible feeling. Our wedding day would not have been possible without his guidance, his radiant positive attitude and his abundant good vibes. Jason was essential in our wedding journey and we are eternally grateful for him and the JMK team! If you have the chance to work with JMK&Co I highly encourage you take the opportunity. I am not sure you will find a more enjoyable, loving and passionate group of humans to help lead you into your next journey!

We had a fabulous time working with Jason and his team for our Spring 2022 wedding in Brooklyn. Jason fully embraced our specific vision and was a MAJOR help in handling vendors and contracts and idea execution. He also made the month of the wedding a breeze and we were so glad to have our big day in his very very capable hands. We can't imagine what it would have been like without him!

I'm truly unsure of how to put our experience with Jason, into words. It is not an exaggeration to say that we would not have had our dream wedding, (let alone any wedding at all), without Jason.
Shortly after getting engaged, my now-husband and I realized just how vital a wedding planner would be for us, (we were extremely overwhelmed with even the beginning stages of planning a NYC wedding in the post-COVID world). We interviewed numerous individuals and within minutes of virtually connecting with Jason, our search was over. His warmth, kindness, experience and reputation were immediately palpable. He completely nailed our vision, (even after speaking with us only briefly), and my husband and I were instantly comfortable with Jason.
He was able to source truly unbelievable vendors for us and was always accessible. He was absolutely vital in helping to navigate ever-changing COVID restrictions and made the ENTIRE process seamless, enjoyable and stress-free, (for both of us and our entire family as well). It has been months since our wedding and we are still hearing about what an incredible night it was, along with what an incredible person Jason is.
We consider Jason truly an expert within the wedding industry and have recommended him numerous times. We consider ourselves lucky to have gotten the chance to work with Jason and also consider him a dear friend. Do not hesitate to hire Jason and his team -- it is a decision you will not regret. Jason, thank you for giving Spencer and me our dream wedding and the priceless gift of memories to last a lifetime.
Planning a wedding brings two families together and working with Jason is basically like bringing a third family into the mix. From day one, Jason brought a sense of authority and rigor that delivered us a sense of calm. He made tasks enjoyable, reminded us to be present through it all and alongside his team, delivered more than we expected. As two brides, he designed space for us that delivered an environment where the joy and love in the room was tangible. JMK for president.
We were on a budget and hesitant to spend the extra money on a planner, but I can honestly say that Jason was by far our best investment. He single handedly made our wedding the most magical night ever and helped us stick to our budget with his excessive knowledge of vendors, venues, and all things Wedding. He was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process and made my husband and I feel totally taken care of. I’ve referred him to multiple friends already and they have all had the same experience. If you’re getting a planner, go with Jason. There is no one better!
Hiring Jason was the best thing my wife and I did for our wedding. Jason is INCREDIBLE to work with - kind, friendly, organized, and extremely knowledgeable. He and his team helped us through every step of our planning and preparations - and he helped guide us through a lot of the little details that we may have missed had he not been there. On the day of, Jason was an incredible maestro for the entire event. Because of him, everything went extremely smoothly and my wife and I were able to just sit back and enjoy our special day. Lastly, Jason really cares about what he does. I never thought we'd need the services of a wedding planner, but I can honestly say that our wedding would not have been what it was without Jason. Best decision ever.
There aren't quite enough words to describe how fabulous and special Jason Mitchell Kahn and his team are. We truly could not have planned our wedding without them. We brought Jason and Co. onto our wedding team about 8 months before our wedding, after it became clear that we wouldn't be able to handle all the details required to create the wedding we wanted- and boy are we glad we did! From the preparation, to the site visits, to the day of the wedding- Jason knocked it out of the park. He is an amazing communicator, creative and kind: all the things you want when planning a once in a lifetime event. The day was more special than we could have ever imagined, in large part due to JMK & Co. We say this without an ounce of hesitation: we can't recommend. them enough!
Hands down, THE BEST wedding planner out there! Jason was truly a gift to have along our side throughout the wedding planning process and through execution on the big day. Wedding planning is extremely stressful, but we felt at such ease knowing that Jason was there thinking of every detail and making sure everything went off perfectly. He also thought of so many nice touches to make our wedding special and memorable. The best decision we made when planning our wedding was hiring Jason and his team. Worth every penny! I honestly can't say enough, except hire this man! You'll be glad you did.
Jason was the utmost professional and helped us through the craziness of going through with a wedding in Fall of 2020. Despite not having the largest guest list, the degree of difficulty was quite high given all of the novel considerations with COVID and Jason was able to handle all the curve-balls that were thrown our way such as having to change venues with less than a month to go! What more can we say? Highly recommended.
Jason Planned our wedding that took place on June 12, 2021 and it was one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve ever been to. His professionalism can’t be beat! Jason was kind, patient and on top
of his game. He helped navigate us through the pandemic and did so smoothly. My husband and I are so happy that we got to work with Jason and that he planned the wedding of our dreams.
We just had our wedding and the day went pretty much seamless. The level of organization for the “run of show” was pretty impressive. Any issue that did come up, Jason and his team jumped into action including going head to head with an unruly priest. They made sure we ate, executed my vision for the wedding to a t, helped bring back our stuff to hotel room, no ask was too big. Also their level of professionalism was impressive. The JMK team are genuinely great people that you would want to spend time planning something somewhat stressful like a wedding with.
Jason is the very best! He was such a lifesaver to us throughout our entire experience- especially as we had to postpone/pivot due to Covid. He is thoughtful, charming, extremely detail-oriented, and went above and beyond his duties to make our long-awaited wedding weekend so special. It was honestly like he could read my mind, and knew exactly how to handle tough situations with vendors and family. We can't say enough good things about Jason- he is an absolute pleasure to be around and a no-brainer to work with!
It’s hard to understand the importance of a wedding planner until all hell breaks loose. The week of our wedding the weather forecast was incredible, all radar showed no signs of any rain or storms in the area. So on the Wednesday before our wedding, we released the hold on the emergency tent our venue required us to have. On Thursday evening, Jason called and calmly asked if I had some time to chat - he told us the band was concerned about weather and would need to ensure their equipment was covered. Long story short - my fiance was in tears, there was not a storm in sight, but we had to call and get the tent back. Jason took care of absolutely everything - ensuring we still had access to the clear top tent we wanted, lighting and chandeliers for inside of it, and enough greenery and draping to make sure it didn’t look like we had thrown it up as a last resort. (Ha!) It poured the entire morning of our wedding and finally broke just as we were about to have our first look and begin pictures. I share all of that to say, without Jason there to help us navigate, everything we spent a year planning would have been a soggy disaster.
We can talk all day about his creativity, his attention to detail, his ability to listen to scattered plans about color schemes and grand hopes of unicorns and confetti cannons (oh wait, that happened), and his ability to breathe life into an event - but what it really comes down to when you hire Jason is execution. There are a million things that can go any which way when you’re planning a wedding (or any event for that matter) but he truly had a handle on all of them. He took every opportunity to manage and problem solve without involving us - which gave us the chance to enjoy our day without knowing half of what was going on behind the scenes. Now, this may sound stressful to some, but I promise you that over the time you spend working with him, your conversations will feel like they are with a friend and he will truly take the time to KNOW who you are as a couple - so on your day, he can run the behind the scenes magic, making the choices he is already knows you would make - giving you the chance to have the singular moment in your life you will never have the opportunity to create again.
We worked with Jason from South Carolina while he was in both New York and LA - and we never felt like he was out of touch or across the country from us. There is no question that he will be a part of any event we throw in the future. No review or recommendation could ever put into words what he means to us and the experience he gave us for our wedding weekend.
Jason was such an incredible boon. He was so accessible and was always brimming with great ideas. He made the whole process easy and was always fun! We are so grateful that we had him for our wedding!
Jason is an absolute dream. Our wedding started out as a "normal" wedding, and planning that with Jason was easy and relaxing. Jason is creative and thoughtful and never lets the wedding stress snowball start rolling. THEN when things got COVID crazy, Jason did not disappoint. He stayed cool and practical and worked with us to figure out how we wanted to handle our unique situation. He helped us come up with ways to make our Zoom guests feel included, i.e. sending individual champagne bottles to all of them, and it made the day so special. Jason wasn't able to be at our wedding in-person as we are in LA and he was stuck in NYC, but he made sure to set us up with one of his colleagues and she was truly amazing the week and day of. Jason was wonderful about communicating with us and her so it felt like it had been part of the plan the whole time. It felt like Jason was there every step of the way, FaceTiming into our important vendor meetings and throughout the wedding weekend, making sure we felt supported. Because of Jason, what could have been a very difficult time was seamless and unique and fun and a truly beautiful day. We can't wait to plan our big post-COVID party with Jason as soon as we can!! Especially so we can see him in one of his famous wedding suits!!
I hired Jason to be my day coordinator for my small intimate wedding in Brooklyn last November. I had talked to a few day coordinators and I just felt right away Jason got it, he understood that I was no fuss bride and really just didn’t know what I was doing nor was I into really planning a wedding while working a very stressful full time job. Before my wedding he took control with coordinating with the musicians and the officiant and any last minute details with the venue and was there when I needed help deciding on things. On the day of my wedding he was great, so nice and so personable and best of all he took care of everything….I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on my day. Everything ran so smoothly. I couldn’t recommend Jason enough. He will make planning your wedding so easy and he is really there for you.
Working with Jason was an absolute dream. We had been planning on having a larger wedding (which we will still have eventually, with Jason again as planner) but then Covid struck. My husband and I were pretty devastated, but thankfully Jason carefully and calmly walked us through our options to still have an event on our chosen day. The event we ended up having completely exceeded our expectations and having Jason there to make sure everything went smoothly and to coordinate with our vendors took so much stress off our plates. Jason also has such a wonderful eye for detail and design. When I first saw that table he had put together for our Covid friendly reception dinner I almost started crying as it looked exactly like what I had wanted originally for a larger wedding. Jason is a wedding planning STAR and I look forward to working with him again when we can finally have our larger wedding party.
Jason Mitchell Kahn & Co. was professional, punctual, creative, accommodating and most of all loving and passionate! We would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to tie the knot!
Stop right there. You can not get married without Jason Mitchell.
It has taken me an embarrassingly long time to write this review. There is no way these words can convey how vital Jason was to our wedding. Yes, he takes care of all the details. Yes, he manages the day of stress. Yes, he walks you through what you need to decide, when you need to decide it and whose opinions need to be considered in the deciding. He masters all those things you expect from a wedding planner. He executes them flawlessly.
But Jason is not just a wedding planner, he is a wedding storyteller. When he meets with you and your partner, he gets to know you as individuals and as a couple. He listens to your love story and then he begins to plan a work of art (your wedding) that somehow exudes you - your relationship, the essence of the "us" you are creating - and invites your guests to be witness to that story on the big day. He doesn't accomplish this with a storyteller's typical medium, words. He does it through the emotional flow of the ceremony, the music that welcomes you into the reception, the arc of the toasts/speeches. All those essential wedding moments are so carefully planned to let the entire room of family and friends feel the power and unique character of this couple's love. 5 years later, I still have guests at our wedding tell us that our wedding was the best wedding they ever attended. Our wedding was fun, celebratory and so very us. Jason is the only person I know who can grasp so precisely what makes you you and bring the beauty of that out for all of your family and friends to enjoy.
And not to forget a very important point. Jason will make sure it's the best party of your life!
Simply put Jason Kahn will make your dream wedding come true—executing on every detail from venue selection, vendor selection, and of course all of the organization and design along the way. Starting our wedding planning process, we had no idea how complex planning such an event could be—Jason was with us every step of the way. At the early planning stages, he listened to us and helped us select the best vendors to make our day a reality. He ensured that we were on track for various milestones—including sending out Save the Dates and invitations, among many others. Fast forwarding to the few weeks ahead of the wedding and of course the wedding weekend—he made every detail come together like a well rehearsed Broadway production (makes sense as he is also a playwright!). He allowed us to be guests, not just at our wedding, but during the whole wedding weekend. His assistant Dani—is also a star in her own right, she really made our “day of” go so smoothly, and helped us organize our families.
Jason is the triple threat of event planning—he has the ability to design, source, and execute on the wedding of your dreams. Whether is a gay Jewish wedding, a straight wedding, or something in between – Jason is your man. We cannot say enough wonderful things about him. Prior to our wedding we had an excellent partner in helping us execute the wedding of our dreams, and now we have a great friend!
When we first met Jason, we told him we wanted to throw a kick-ass party, and. 15 months later, we had a kick-ass wedding. With the help of Jason Mitchell Kahn & Co, we had the wedding of our dreams; it was a truly magical day.
We cannot imagine what planning this wedding would have been like without Jason, he seamlessly guided us through the process. We knew that we didn’t need to worry because Jason had it under control. There are so many details we didn’t know existed!
Jason connected us to amazing professionals and helped find local vendors near Westchester (we got married in Rye) who were familiar with our venue. Jason is a wizard on keeping track of vendors and communicating our vision - and helping us stay in budget.
Throughout the planning process we had complete confidence in Jason, knowing he would see us through to the finish line with everything accomplished. He magically stays on top of every little detail.
We had an amazing wedding that we will remember forever; it was accomplished without a single fight or breakdown thanks to Jason Mitchell Kahn & Co.
Jason is the Jedi master of “the Big Day” — in every way he guided and with us explored this very personal, meaningful and expensive ritual. We loved his New Yorker sense of service & efficiency, especially when it came to vendor selection or putting an itinerary together, but equally we loved and relied on Jason’s realness and organic feel for timing and flow. Trust me, it’s the magic that you will want at your wedding, which only the experience and LA cool JMK&Co. affords. Jason and his reliable team are the wedding gift you owe to yourself and your future spouse.
Jason is a dream to work with. Not only did he make the process fun leading up to the wedding, but he absolutely created a space that was stunning and gave us the chance to enjoy our day. I tend to worry (a-lot, as does my mother)...with Jason at the helm, I just knew it was going to be perfect - and it was! As for my mother, I think she would have married Jason herself. We were all so calm because he put us to ease with his tireless planning, constant professionalism, extensive knowledge and genuine personality. We started the journey for a destination wedding in Palm Springs, a city I had been to once and my husband not at all. We started with a tour of several venues in one day. All were great, but of course the one we loved most was out of the budget. Jason got to the heart of what we liked about that property and went to work. He found us the most amazing venue that checked all of our boxes - and some we didn’t even know we had! He coordinated another visit to that property and we instantly fell in love. From there it was a super efficient process with Jason managing the various vendors, budget and keeping us on track leading up to the 3 days of wedding festivities. The day of the wedding was beautiful...and about 20 degrees cooler than we had expected. But not to fear! Jason coordinated heaters and our guests received pashminas at each chair. I know there were fire drills, but I didn’t know about ANY of them while they were happening (and still to this day). Jason protected us from any possible stress and took care of everything. We could not be happier with our wedding and know for sure it would not have been as wonderful without Jason’s involvement. We could not recommend him more highly...aside from choosing your person, hiring Jason may be the best decision you’ll make regarding your wedding. THANK YOU, JASON...from the bottom of our hearts.
Jason was totally on-board when it came to planning our untraditional wedding. He was an expert at anticipating and navigating the difficult logistics that accompanied using an unexpected venue, and his guidance was indispensable to my partner and I, when our ideas of the "perfect wedding" didn't always align. It was a wonderful experience working with Jason; I would recommend him to my dearest friends!
Jason was an amazing wedding planner! He made sure we were all set for our big day and worked with us every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, he was the best. My wife was not stressed, we knew where to go and where to be at all times. I’ve been to a lot of weddings and none were nearly this smooth and flawless. Jason was awesome with our bridal party and families. I was so happy to have him support us through the whole process and weekend!
I don’t have the words to describe how great it was to work with Jason. From start to finish, he was there to help me every step of the way, from venue visits to last second bridezilla phone calls. His advice was spot on and he made the weekend run incredibly smoothly. I trusted him completely and was able to relax knowing Jason had everything under control. He was very hands on and full service during the entire process. I couldn’t imagine using anyone else but Jason and his team. Highly recommend!
Jason is hands down THE BEST. He helped us to plan our rustic-chic fall wedding upstate and we couldn't have been happier with our decision to hire him. We quickly learned there were many difficulties associated with throwing a larger wedding in a barn in a small town in the middle of the NY countryside, and he was there to walk us through every step of the way and catch details we may otherwise have missed. He solved problems before we even knew they existed, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. Needless to say the day of went flawlessly, in large part thanks to Jason. He's smart, quick on his feet, has impeccable attention to detail, and is a true original. But most of all he's a great guy, and someone we were thrilled to invite into one of the most special and joyous days of our lives :)
