Perris Deppa

Hi I’m Perris Deppa, owner and lifestyle manager at Brass Tacks. With busy sales and advertising careers under my belt I know what it’s like to frantically squeeze errands and appointments in during lunch hour and worry about your home while you’re away. Brass Tacks was born from my enduring passion for people, projects, and organization, and the express realization that everyone is just a little “too busy”.  My lifestyle management service allows you to focus on what you love most and leave the rest of the details to me. I look forward to getting to know you!

Brass Tacks

At Brass Tacks we believe in helping every individual to make the most out of every day- by adding a touch of whimsy or a bottle of bubbly to a special social occasion, planning a festive holiday that ensures lifelong, hassle-free memories and always winnowing down those pesky to-do lists.

Testimonials

“We hired Perris to plan and coordinate a family trip to San Diego over Christmas. She did a superb job of researching the La Jolla area and put together both an itinerary as well as a complete guide of activities, restaurants, and "must sees". She was also clever with her choice of stocking stuffers and everything arrived on time and beautifully wrapped. I would definitely recommend Perris for planning and coordinating any event or trip! She is well traveled herself which is a plus when assisting others with their plans. She understands the unique needs of each client, is respectful of their opinions and yet is able to offer a different point of view . She is attentive to details and delivers on time!  ”

“We were fortunate to have Brass Tacks assist us over the holidays!  It was such a pleasure working with Perris!  We were consistently impressed by her professionalism and organization.  She was very good communicating and confirming expectations upfront..  We felt she not only met our original expectations…but exceeded them!  She found ways to extend her services…assisting us in last minute holiday crunches…adding extra days nearing the holiday…always with a blissful attitude.  She ran errands efficiently…and cost effectively.  She was a brilliant blend of being suggestive with ideas and accepting of our requests.  We knew we could trust her with every task assigned…and knew it would have a signature, “Brass Tacks” feel due to Perris’ creativity and style!  We would and will continue to refer Brass Tacks to guests, friends, and family…as we know the superior experience they will have!  Thank you, Perris, and Brass Tacks for assisting us in a successful, stress-free holiday season…full of merriment!  ”

“The quality of detail, attention and experience I received from the Brass Tacks team is unmatched in the realm of travel and lifestyle management. The owner, Perris, has helped me with a wide range of services, including researching, planning and organizing a large family vacation down to even the most minutiae arrangements. More importantly though, Perris helped me plan my upcoming wedding and I couldn't even dare to express in words what a lifesaver she has been! She listened to my preferences and vision and produced a comprehensive summary of vendor referrals and wedding checklists. She was able to help me pick the perfect vendors for the occasion. She provided much needed guidance and advice on all aspects of the process and was able to really listen and cater to my selective needs. Overall, I highly, highly recommend using Brass Tacks for all of your management services and I am thrilled that I was able to find such a gem of a company (and owner)!  ”
