In the Media

Philadelphia Citypaper

“With his warehouse full of exotic flora, handmade linens, large props, diverse dining settings and a black box stage, Brian Kappra could mount productions of a dozen Noel Coward plays, all at once, candelabra and all.”

Philadelphia Magazine

“Evantine’s warehouse and design studio is a 50,000 square-foot temple to partydom; a “quiet-on-the-set!” Hollywood soundstage where they can prep for balls, weddings and bar mitzvahs around the clock. The stock of objects de fête is legion. In neatly arranged rows on 15-foot-high shelves are modern vases, traditional vases, six-foot-tall urns, ornate silver candelabra, tabletop items, endless lanterns and votives. There are fabrics from amber to fuchsia to zebra, as well as columns, chuppahs, topiaries and minimalist white sofas.”

Times Philadelphia

“Vera Wang, Tony Bennett, Eva Herzigova, Gregory Peck, Geoffrey Beene, Debbie Reynolds, Elizabeth Taylor, Badgley Mischka, Narcisco Rodriguez, Oprah Winfrey, Dionne Warwick, Mary McFadden, Carolina Herrera, Quincy Jones, Luciano Pavarotti and Elton John are just a few who have celebrated in spectacular settings created by Evantine.”

Philadelphia Inquirer

" You gotta shame the devil and tell the truth. This event puts New York to shame!’ Coming as it did from Kitty Carlisle Hart, a New York institution in her own right, the praise was understandably appreciated by committee members and guests at Friday's Amadeus Ball, the annual benefit designed by Evantine for the Curtis Institute that was held at The Rittenhouse."

Times Philadelphia

“Brian Kappra hasn’t met a party concept he couldn’t conquer. He won’t even tell a client that something simply can’t be done.”

Philadelphia Magazine

"Evantine stunned everyone from Governor Ed Rendell to Elton John with the beauty of the Kimmel Center’s opening gala with its intricate web of tables and flowers for an intimate crowd of 1,500.”

Elegant Wedding Magazine

“Evantine created one-of-a-kind thematic touches for the beach wedding, including edible treasure chest favors filled with hand-painted mermaid cookies, life-like starfish candies and miniature messages in a bottle.”

Philadelphia Times Magazine

"Transforming a space is the hallmark of an Evantine event. From warehouses to churches to theaters to museums, they have something in mind to match whatever a client’s fancy may be.”
