EXCITINGLY DELIGHTFUL to work with!!…read more We hired ATG for our wedding reception - best decision ever!! Brian, Jason, and the ATG team were very professional, quick to communicate, and as pumped up as we were about our big day!! John, my now husband, and I listen to completely different music so our MC, Jason definitely had his work cut out. He did a great job at blending our different styles and made sure we had music for all ages - including some wonderful sing-alongs. Entertainment and getting people on the dance floor was one of our main concerns for the reception. We wanted to be sure there was never a dull moment and involve all our guests - and boy oh boy did ATG deliver!! On top of the normal wedding things, Jason helped to coordinate and execute a - Surprise Daddy/Daughter dance - Surprise MOH and wedding party dance (neither bride/groom knew about!) - Surprise grand exit involving a Cool Blast Gun and the Ghostbusters We also splurged for the smart uplighting (totally worth it) and it transformed the venue and decor! It helped to take our wedding reception from the elegant dinner to a full blown dance party :) Just do yourself a favor and BOOK THEM NOW!

DO NOT HIRE! Would give 0 stars if I could!!…read more We were married on September 20th and hired Jason for our wedding DJ, photography, and videography services. We paid our balance in full prior to the wedding, as requested. Unfortunately, the experience after the wedding has been extremely stressful and disappointing. Jason spoke a lot about his quick turnaround time before we booked, which was one of the reasons we chose him. However, that has not been our experience. In addition, we never saw the assistant that was included in our package, and the day-of coordinator did not ensure our requested photo list was shared with the photographer, which led to some frustrations on the wedding day as well. We are now six months after our wedding date and still do not have our uncut and edited wedding video, and several items took repeated follow-ups just to receive. Communication has been very inconsistent, and many of the timelines we were given for receiving our photos and video have not been met. Over the past several months we have tried to remain patient and understanding, but it has been very difficult not knowing when we will actually receive the rest of what we paid for. These are once-in-a-lifetime memories that couples trust their photographer and videographer to capture and deliver. At this point, we are simply hoping to receive the remaining deliverables in full and in the quality that was promised. I would strongly encourage couples considering booking to make sure clear delivery timelines and expectations are included in writing before signing a contract or better yet book with someone else. ETA: Just discovered that he played the wrong song for my girls to walk down the aisle to. I talked to him 2 days before the wedding to go over everything and put it in the app like he asked well ahead of time. The morning of our wedding he text me asking about what songs I wanted played for our entrances. He had the correct songs, wrong order so I told him the correct order. I shouldn't be having that type of conversation the morning of. He still managed to skip the song all together and played the same song for my husband and girls to walk down to. ETA: May 2026 - ended up having to take to small claims court. We won the case, but will probably never get our money from him unfortunately. Have been able to hire the videographer to edit the video for us, for a price of course, since Jason didn't pay him their agreed upon price.

Please be aware and don't fall for this scam…read more During our initial conversation, he sounded incredibly energetic and made it seem like he would go above and beyond to make my sister's wedding unforgettable. Unfortunately, he did make it unforgettable--but for all the wrong reasons. I hired him for both photography and videography as a wedding gift for my sister. He charged a premium price, but the way he spoke and the excitement in his voice made me believe he genuinely cared about his work and would deliver an amazing experience. The first red flag was that he didn't even show up to the wedding himself. Instead, he sent two other people to cover the event. I was willing to overlook that because I assumed the final product would be worth it. After the wedding, he gave me multiple delivery timelines for the photos, edited photos, and the highlight video. Every deadline came and went with excuse after excuse. Now, six months later, he has completely stopped responding and still hasn't delivered anything. I truly wish I had read his Yelp reviews before hiring him. After everything happened, I discovered that many other customers had the exact same experience--promises, excuses, months of delays, and then being completely ignored. Unfortunately, I trusted the reviews on Thumbtack and didn't do enough research before hiring him. Learn from my mistake and think twice before trusting this business.

That's right, we booked Sugar Hill Gang in 2002. What can I say? We had a limited budget. Flash forward 15-years to a much older but not much less clueless me on the hunt for a DJ for our wedding. I immediately remembered how easy it was to work with Vinny and reached out with that awkward "Heyyyyyy, I don't know if you remember me, but..." email. I'm happy to report he remembered me and was as happy to reconnect as I was. During our consultation, we reminisced about the good old times (musicians are full of shenanigans, y'all) and marveled at how much Split Second Sound has grown. Theirs is a story of hard work and determination paying off! When I first worked with Vinny in 2002, he was operating SSS out of his garage. Today, he has a beautiful office space in South Charlotte and a full team of employees. Anyways, I'm rambling. We obviously booked SSS for our wedding DJ needs and were so impressed from beginning to end. All the little details make SSS the best in the business. From the personalized chalk board sign welcoming us for our first consultation to their interactive website where you can provide details for run of show, must-play songs along with don't-you-dare-play songs, everything was a pleasure with them.

BUT are still people like this out there!!! I will never do business or say anything nice about this venue. Shame on you! In this time of the nation's pandemic we are urged to self-quarantine not just to protect ourselves but our family, friends, and loved ones. With that being said in the best interest of our family, friends and loved ones Ashton and Stewart have decided not to have their wedding ceremony and reception that was planned on April 11th. While having to make adjustments and cancellations it has been heartwarming in this difficult time when the caterer (Doughgirls catering) gave the entire deposit back with well wishes. Thank you!! Then there's the Venue, The Bottle Factory in Monroe NC. I don't recommend anyone EVER book an event with Sherry Helms that owns the Bottle Factory. She doesn't truly care about anything but the money. This is not a normal situation; they didn't just change their mind. We contacted her under the current circumstances discouraging large gatherings and asked for some kind of refund. In a time of Pandemic, you would have thought she would have been more empathic for a couple having to go through this situation. In an email sent from Mrs. Helms the owner of the Bottle Factory today (3/24/20) she has very boldly said she will NOT REFUND any money paid ($6000) in capital letters. And she will make sure their wedding will be beautiful on April 11th. Clearly, she doesn't care about the well-being of the community because she is willing to continue holding LARGE events in the community potentially spreading the Corona Virus!

There are not much parking in the area but if your event is on the weekend you and your guests will be fine because you can use the other business that are closed on the weekends parking area.

I even thought about having one of my birthdays parties here. It is a good place for any kind of party really.

We had THE BEST experience throughout the planning process with Chris, from our first conversation…read moreall the way to the end of our wedding. Chris was extremely responsive, kind, and fun to work with. Music is really important to us, so we provided a very extensive list of songs we wanted him to play (probably 4+ hours worth of music, haha). He played these songs and other songs that fit into the entire vibe of our wedding day. There was no song that we didn't love and we had many guests come up to us, complimenting him. Chris was a thoughtful and smooth MC, making sure the day was about us. He also cut two songs we wanted for our first dance since he also produces his own music, which was awesome. Also, Chris had everything he needed to set up his own DJ booth and lighting (which we didn't know if we wanted/needed, but ultimately loved!!). He was very professional and experienced. If you're looking for a DJ for your wedding, you'd be lucky to work with him!! We appreciate you, Chris!
