Our Founder

Building on that foundation, Kevin went on to become one of the most sought after event designers in New York as well as an award-winning theatrical director and producer. Kevin considers himself fortunate to have had the great privilege to produce events for Walt Disney Productions, Target, Major League Soccer and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to name a few. Kevin graduated magna cum laude from the State University of New York at Oswego and holds Bachelors' degrees in Theatre, English and Education.

Exceeded expectations

Kevin was simply outstanding. He is professional, prompt, and extremely knowledgeable and had an answer to all our questions. We hired him as our “day of” wedding planner but he generously worked with us from the day we hired him until the reception ended. He was friendly and helped my wife and I feel so comfortable and confident things would go flawlessly, and the did. He coordinated perfectly with all vendors and “fixed” anything that needed tweaking. I strongly recommend Kevin and I hope we remain friends with him as well. He exceeded our expectations!

I met Kevin (with Brass Tacks Events) over a year and ½ ago and I can’t say enough how great he is! I booked him as my wedding planner a few weeks after getting engaged and this was without a doubt the best decision I made regarding my wedding.

In the long run he helped to save me money on my wedding, made the wedding day happen without a hitch, and was a huge source of support. During the year 1/2 I was engaged he was always available to chat or even meet with me, or vendors, if I asked. (And I did not book full planning services either, so he definitely went above and beyond).

Right when I met Kevin he was extremely positive and this is what I love most about him. He was always upbeat. Whenever I would get stressed or worried about wedding details speaking to him always calmed my nerves. Having an expert available to answer questions made booking him even more worth it. I probably sent him a bazillion emails. So many worries came up while planning and details I did not anticipate. It was great having someone that knows other people in the industry and how to navigate the crazy wedding world! (he let me know when there were discounts or deals around town, which is always a plus).

The day of my wedding was very busy. Kevin kept everything on track. I literally did nothing on my wedding day but enjoy my friends and guests. I’m sure there were small problems that arose - but I didn’t know about them because Kevin handled them. And everything turned out beautiful!

Kevin was worth every penny I spent on him. Even if you have to cut corners somewhere else, hire a planner (and definitely check out Kevin)! It’ll save you money in the end and TONS of stress.

We just loved loved loved Gia with Brass Tacks! We met her at an open house for the venue we were looking at booking. I'm not going to lie she was a big part of the reason we booked the venue. Gia was always there when i needed anything or had questions related to the venue, or anything for that matter! She was so helpful throughout the process and amazing the day of as well. I really don't know what we would have done without Gia's help for the day. Apparently there were some wedding day snags that I had no clue about BUT everything went off without a hitch! Would totally recommend Gia and Brass Tacks to anyone needing a planner or just day of coordinator.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Kevin with Brass Tacks Events is one of the best coordinators out there. Not only are you getting a professional who has years of experience in every aspect of the industry, you are also getting an extremely personable person who is down to earth and a pleasure to be around. Working at a venue, we see coordinators of all kinds, most of whom are ok at best. But we always know when Kevin and his team are hired that our jobs will be much easier because of how talented he is!

Kevin and his team at Brass Tacks Events are very talented event planners. They are not only very professional and friendly but also open to suggestions and ideas. Their communication skills are awesome and make everyone very comfortable. I would highly recommend them for your wedding or event.

We love working with Lindsey at Brass Tacks. For the musicians, it is a great relief when the coordinator is on top of all of the last minute details, as Lindsey is and most importantly she has such a pleasant disposition all the while keeping the timeline in place. Before the wedding Lindsey kept us informed on all of the decisions for the wedding well in advance of our most recent wedding together. It gives me greater confidence going to a wedding knowing that Lindsey will be there. Always looking forward to working with Lindsey and Brass Tacks!
