Jason Mitchell Kahn is the owner and creative director of Jason Mitchell Kahn & Co., a boutique agency that specializes in planning and executing events for nontraditional couples. His work has been featured in Vogue, The New York Times, and People; he’s been listed as one of the Best Wedding Planners of the Year in Brides magazine; and he’s hailed as “Broadway’s Wedding Planner” by Playbill. He earned that title by planning the nuptials of theater people such as Philippa Soo & Steve Pasquale; Michael Arden & Andy Mientus; Erika Henningsen & Kyle Selig; Jason Gotay & Michael Hartung; Garrett Clayton; Gideon Glick; Drew Gehling & Julia Mattison; Rory O’Malley; Augustus Prew & Jeffery Self; Bobby Moynihan & Brynn O’Malley; Alysha Umphress; Liana Hunt & Larkin Bogan; Lora Lee Gayer; Dana Steingold; and David Ruttura & Katie Travis.

He’s also a highly sought-after speaker on inclusivity in weddings and is the author of Getting Groomed, the first wedding planner published for gay grooms.

Jason served as Director of Weddings and Editorial for Men’s Vows magazine, and 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 that, he 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 Jason’s favorite type of event, at Soho House he also designed, planned, and ran fashion shows, book launches, art festivals, movie premieres, opening nights, gala dinners, and post-parties after award shows. The job took him around the world, from Oscar parties in Los Angeles 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 theater. He attended the conservatory New World School of the Arts and graduated magna cum laude with a B.F.A. in Theatre from the University of Florida. Two of his plays, The Boys Upstairs and The Red Box, 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?

He lives on the upper-west side of Manhattan with his terrier Barnaby.
