Wedding day kiss with a rainbow atop Cavender Castle
David A.

My experience here is that of a wedding photographer. I'm only commenting on the visual aspect of the venue. The Good: It's a neat venue. The design alone should tell you that. The outside ceremony area is gorgeous with the marble center piece backed by large magnolia trees. The bridal suite is large and very well suited for a large bridal party. An upstairs hidden patio for is handy when you want to get some fresh air. The back patio is quite large and well suited for outside use for dining and drinking. Of course I can't forget the lookout atop of the castle which has a great view of the Blue Ridge Mountains or if you're lucky like the bride and groom I photographed there, a great view of a double rainbow. The Meh: I'm not a fan of the canary yellow paint, it casts funky color on people when you use your flash or ample ambient light. That's my single meh thought of the place. It's in the back room of the bridal suite and downstairs in the reception area. You wouldn't know it, because your photographer will fix it, but it's just something extra to edit.

The staff here is amazing. Cindi and Rick went out of their way to make sure we got everything we wanted for our big day. The decorations were beautiful and the cake was better than anything I could have hoped for. I would recommend this place to everyone!

My fiancé & I felt compelled to leave this review to warn other couples about Jessi and Simply…read moreSouthern Weddings. We interviewed several different local wedding planners & ended up going with Jessi's full service package. Things started off great, we had our initial in-person meet and greet but after 3 weeks & several unanswered follow up e-mail messages over the course of multiple weeks - we have heard nothing from her. We basically got scammed out of our $500 initial deposit & have not heard anything from her since - even after writing her to inform her that we would be terminating our contract. We will also be reporting her to the BBB but in the meantime, hope that others will read this review & reconsider booking someone who takes advantage of newly engaged couples.

My fiance and I hired Jessi to be our day-of coordinator. She had good reviews online, had a great…read moreprice point, and was responsive when I was talking to her. A month out of the wedding the contract said we would talk and she would get all the vendors from me and we would go over my day-of details. She called and we did that, but then after that, she stopped responding. Keep in mind, we had already paid her, well my mom did (MY MISTAKE). I reached out to her several times to update her on some details, no response. I tried texting and went through her site portal and no response. I thought it was weird, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. A week out of my wedding and I reached out to my vendors and none of them had heard from her. I tried texting her. My fiance tried calling her multiple times on her "work" phone and her "personal" phone. Her "work" phone is also not set up for voicemails. She didn't appear out of thin air for our rehearsal or wedding. She did nothing for our wedding. Another thing that I didn't notice but my mom did is her website is not up to date. It did not have our wedding date marked off. MAKE SURE YOU PAY WITH A CREDIT CARD IN CASE THESE SITUATIONS HAPPEN. 0/10 would not recommend Jessi.

I would like to recommend SE Events. Our interactions with the team were commendable. Initially, we…read moreworked with Jesse, who was very responsive and recommended our DJ, Dana. Dana demonstrated excellent skills as a DJ. He possessed a vibrant personality and was a pleasure to collaborate with. His ability to gauge the audience's preferences and select appropriate music contributed greatly to the enjoyment of the event. We particularly appreciated his participation on the dance floor. Thank you for your excellent service.

I cannot recommend Jesse Busch and SE Events highly enough for both ceremony and reception music…read more From our very first meeting, I knew we were in great hands. Their online planning portal was user-friendly, detailed, and made it easy to customize our music choices. I had a few key songs in mind, but Jesse helped fill in the gaps with well-curated playlists--like the top 50, mother/son, and anniversary dance options--that made decision-making easy and enjoyable. Jesse's expertise was especially valuable during our ceremony. We opted to use SE not just for music but for sound amplification as well. He equipped our officiant and my husband with lapel mics, which perfectly captured our vows. Our ceremony setup was long and narrow, and the added audio support ensured every guest--front row or back--heard every word clearly. What really sets Jesse apart is his responsiveness, creativity, and calm, professional presence throughout the planning process. He made us feel supported, listened to, and totally confident on the big day. SE was one of the best vendor decisions we made!

A botched scheduler at another DJ company led us to Fonix's door. And you know what? I'm glad. We…read moremet up with Travis and our DJ, JJ, and after one meeting we knew we had the right DJ for the job. Prior to the ceremony, there's an online form to fill out that covers every possible base. What kinds of songs, any special details... There's so much there, neatly organized, and I was thankful for it. I'd never have thought about a lot of those! A couple weeks prior, JJ called to verify information and nail it all down so we could all be on the same page. The team is very thorough and I really appreciated all the time and effort Travis and JJ put into making sure we had everything planned out. JJ worked very well with not only us but the entire vendor team. He fit right in with the other vendors who already knew one another from working together so often. He listened to the crowd very well, playing a good variety of music. All of our guests complimented us on our musical selection whether they were younger or older, which says a lot! JJ chose fantastic oldies and classics before getting into the dance tunes (even tossing in a few hair band selections for yours truly). My travel-minded friends doubled over with laughter when JJ playing the National Geographic theme song to announce our honeymoon plans to Antarctica. Overall he did a wonderful job providing all the music to keep the celebration hopping all night! I would highly recommend JJ since we personally worked with him, but if JJ was that good, I can't imagine the others are bad. If you're in the midst of wedding planning and want an excellent DJ or even planning a birthday party and want to get the music going, check out Fonix Entertainment. The pricing is a total steal for the quality and level of service you get, bar none.

Wow! Travis at Fonix is outstanding…read more These are the guys you want to hire for your DJ work for whatever the event is. We hired Fonix for our wedding back in June and worked with Travis G. He is truly a professional...which is the main reason we went with them. Professional gear, demeanor, website, references...all of that! Dealing with Fonix was a breeze. They have an online system where you can fill out your 'application' and pick out the music and details you want. You can change on the fly and make changes at any point. This made everything very easy for us. We met with the Travis several times and had a final phone call a week before our event to discuss all the details. We chose to include Karaoke at the reception which was no problem for Fonix. They had a huge catalog to choose from the price was excellent. Travis was professionally dressed and did a great job managing the reception. He kept people on the dance floor, kept people at the karaoke station and just helped create a seamless transition from one event to the other. I would recommend these guys to anyone needing a DJ. In fact, they are the only ones I would recommend. Major kudos to Fonix!

We added the live instruments (drums, sax, and bass), and it was one of the best decisions we made -- the energy was incredible! The dance floor was packed all night, and so many of our guests told us it was the most fun they've had at a wedding. Tim and the musicians knew exactly how to keep the party going. If you're looking for a DJ who brings both talent and personality, Hip and Hitched is it!

Unlike other DJ who are way too…read moregreedy with inflation and provides services you don't need, TD is offering the most reasonable prices and add-ons to fit your needs and budget. We added the uplighting services and opt'ed out for additional musicians (more on that below). 2. TD is incredibly professional and experienced. We're picky music producers and needed someone who the same level of touch and technicality. With TD, you don't have to worry! He has the years, experience, and groove for it all! 3. Reliable, communicative, and supportive. He can easily mesh well with your videographers, coordinators, and team to make sure your entire event goes well. We're very satisfied with the outcomes. He even took awesome photos of us and created a highlight on IG for us to watch after our wedding. We loved seeing our special day from a different perspective. CON: 1. We didn't get the additional musicians TD recommended and regret it. I think others should consider it! Having more than 1 entertainer on the dance floor really heightens the energy. Whether it's an Emcee, Drummer, Saxophonist, etc... you need that extra person as a hype man to keep the night going! +1 if they can dance and help others follow along #flashmob #tiktokdance. 2. Have a back-up plan for emergencies. If someone falls and hurts their heads in the middle of an energetic time, you'd want to know what to do to be respectful of that person while ensuring the rest of the party is still going. I recommend you to talk to your DJ, emcee, coordinators, and event team to align on an emergency plan in case it happens! One of our elders fell and had a bloody experience. Recovering from that was quite an experience, but TD and our emcee friend made it happen!
