Jason Mitchell Kahn & Co.
New York, NY
About this Vendor
Founded by event planner, playwright, and author of “Getting Groomed,” Jason Mitchell Kahn and Co. is a boutique wedding planning company that is ready to tell your story...expertly...and with love.
I have always sought to work with brides, grooms and those who don’t identify with titles. The ideal of equality has always been important to me, not only as a business owner, but also as a human being. I identify as both gay and Jewish. When launching Jason Mitchell Kahn & Co., it was important to me that it would champion the principle of inclusivity. I have always felt it’s important to call out homophobia and anti-semitism. Now, I am adding anti-racism to the core ideals of my company. At JMK & Co., we only seek to collaborate with vendors that espouse the same standards. We are working to create more opportunities with racial diversity for future clients, vendors and employees.
Meet The Team
Jason began working full time as a wedding planner after the 2014 launch of his new book GETTING GROOMED: THE ULTIMATE WEDDING PLANNER FOR GAY GROOMS, published by Chronicle Books.
Jason is currently the Director of Weddings & Editorial for Men’s Vows Magazine and well known in the industry. He is regularly asked to contribute ideas and opinions to various wedding websites and media outlets. Before launching Jason Mitchell Kahn & Co., he served as the resident Wedding Planner for Shiraz Events overseeing the company’s market in New York, Los Angeles and London.
Prior to Shiraz Events, Jason worked for several years at Soho House New York as the Event and Banquet Manager and quickly became known as the in-house wedding expert. There he worked with couples on planning their special day in addition to doing freelance wedding planning. While weddings are his favorite type of event, at Soho House Jason also designed, planned, and ran fashion shows, book launches, art festivals, movie premieres, opening nights, gala dinners, and awards shows post parties. The job took him around the world from Oscar parties in L.A. to events held in chateaus in Cannes and even an underground subway station in Toronto.
Jason brings to weddings his passion for drama honed from his career and education in theatre. Two of his plays had professional premieres in New York and have since had productions around the world. Jason approaches all weddings with his playwriting background: What is the couple’s version of their most beautiful story to be told?
