August 5, 2017, the day my daughter was married, was one of the most wonderful days of my life, largely due to Brian Kappra and his staff at Evantine Designs. This space does not allow for the long form of this review, so the short version is that they had really creative ideas and designs which were seamlessly merged with my daughter’s and my every whim into the final plan. They then implemented the plan, and carried it out to perfection on the day of the wedding.
I may have been the most relaxed Mother of the Bride ever on the day of the wedding, because the Evantine staff took care of every detail for every person in the wedding party, and all of the details for the venue and actual wedding, including transportation, decoration, schedules, etc.. I really wished I had another daughter because I enjoyed the day and evening so much.
CEREMONY: was outside on the Terrace at the Barnes. The flowers and the Chuppa were truly breathtaking, only to be surpassed by the décor of the main dining area. People walked in and gasped at the beauty. I have never seen anything like it.
They truly made the day beautiful, memorable and easy. Brian and staff just fabulous. Worth every penny they charged.

Brian was FABULOUS! His Team was amazing. We were so lucky to have Evantine as part of our wedding day. The room was stunning, his team was great to work with and we could not be happier with everything that Evantine did. I enjoyed planning one of the most important days of my life with Brian and his team. My husband and I could not have imagined that it would be as amazing as it was and so much of it had to do with Evantine's artistic talent, vision, professionalism, and their personalities!! I can't say enough good things about Brian and his team!

Before I selected Evantine, a friend who had used the company told me "Brian Kappra is a genius". She was absolutely right. Brian is an extremely talented florist and event planner and, almost more importantly, he is the nicest guy ever. Everyone in my family loved working with him. He took care of things that I did not even know that we needed, and as a result, all my husband and I had to do was make choices from all of his amazing options and then sit back and have an amazing weekend. I cannot thank Brian and his team enough. They made our wedding a truly wonderful experience.

We chose Evantine originally because of a very “white space” venue. The main “event producer”, Brian, has an incredible creative mind and was a joy to work with. Our visits to their studio (and warehouse of amazingness) were some of my mom and my favorite parts of wedding planning. In addition, it was Brian who “saved the day” when our original venue cancelled. If it wasn’t for him, who knows what would have happened. He also assured us that he would transform the ballroom at the Rittenhouse (we originally were against a ballroom wedding). I'd say a lot of our vision was vague – flowers in white, green, yellow, blue…not all “normal” flowers – and, through conversations and visits, they made it spectacular. They not only WOWed me and my husband, but also, most importantly, my Dad…who’s rarely impressed by anything.

The first word that comes to mind when we think about our experience with Evantine Design is WOW!!!!!!!! We had seen pictures of their work prior to our first meeting and were blown away by their unique design and creativity. There are no words to express what we felt when we walked into our first design meeting in their showroom. We knew right there on the spot that Evantine Design was our ONLY choice. From the moment we set foot in their door, we were impressed with how they designed their own space with sophistication and warmth. We could only imagine the endless design options they could do for our wedding! Working with Brian at Evantine has been such a wonderful experience. He listened to all of our ideas and needs and made the entire wedding planning process less stressful. He is incredibly talented and has a soothing way to him. We can't thank him enough for how happy we are with how our fairy tale wedding turned out. Our wedding was beyond spectacular! We were blown away the minute we walked into our ceremony! It was absolutely ethereal! Brian pays attention to every intricate detail and works with your budget. He helped with every single aspect of our wedding, from the lighting, linens, seating, all of our flowers, candles, and our fantastic chupah, etc. We marveled at how quickly Evantine was able to transform our ceremony room into our reception space to make our dream come true! Our guests are still raving about the aroma and beauty from all of our flowers and the entire design of our wedding! Brian thank you from the bottom of our hearts. To all of you out there searching for a florist or design team for your wedding....Hire Evantine!!!!!

Brian Kappra at Evantine was a Godsend. Working with him was an amazing experience. When we first met, I showed him our "mood board" on my computer to communicate the look and feel we were going for. Then we toured the warehouse and I pointed out the things I loved. Brian completely understood the direction I was going and he ran with it. I had no idea what he was going to use in the room, but it was all spot on. It was breathtaking. I didn't care what flowers we had; I just said to go with white. The ballroom flowers and decor were incredible. It was exactly what I had imagined but couldn't quite put into words. Additionally, Brian and his team transformed the room where our ceremony was. It was so dramatic and romantic... exactly my taste. I feel that in one meeting, Brian got to know exactly what we were going for and he well exceeded our expectations. Also, my dad lost his job halfway through planning my wedding. Brian worked with our new budget and went above and beyond to make sure that we would still be blown away. I cannot recommend Evantine enough!! Without them, we would not have had our dream wedding.

I found Brian Kappra through a friend and feel blessed to have worked with him on our wedding day. He made planning the wedding so fun, and dare i say, almost stress-free. The week before the wedding Brian was there for anything we needed and really made everything run smoothly. His attention to detail and problem-solving skills were incredible. When weather threatened our plans for an outdoor ceremony he was able to put together an indoor option as well as an outdoor option. When the skies cleared 2 hours before the ceremony he quickly turned the indoor option into a beautiful entryway and gave us the gorgeous outdoor ceremony we hoped for.

I couldn't thank him enough for our beautiful wedding. It was everything we asked for and more.
