They saved my wedding last minute!

I truly don’t even know where to begin—having Kinkead Performance & Events as our wedding coordinator was hands-down the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding journey.

From the very first conversation, Kris made us feel completely at ease. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but they handled every detail with such professionalism, care, and calm confidence that we were actually able to enjoy the process.

And then came the unexpected—a snowstorm that forced us to move our wedding from Saturday to Friday. What could have been incredibly stressful turned into something seamless because of them. They personally reached out to vendors, coordinated every change, and handled all the moving pieces without us having to lift a finger. We didn’t have to stress, make a million calls, or worry about what would happen next—they had it completely under control.

On the wedding day, everything ran flawlessly. If there were any hiccups, we never saw them—because they handled everything behind the scenes. We were able to be fully present, soak in every moment, and just enjoy our day, which is something we will be forever grateful for.

Not only are they incredibly talented at what they do, but they are also genuinely kind, thoughtful, and passionate. You can tell they truly care about making your day special and stress-free.

If you are even thinking about hiring a wedding coordinator, DJ, jack of all trades —stop thinking and book them. I can say with complete confidence that they are the best in the business, and I would choose them again a thousand times over.

Thank you for making our dream wedding come to life in the most perfect way imaginable—even with a snowstorm thrown in! Hawaii Hawaii Hawaii

Amazing dj!

We had an amazing experience with Kinkead Performance & Events for our wedding! She absolutely killed it and kept the dance floor packed all night. The music flowed perfectly, and she did such a great job reading the room and keeping the energy up.
She was also incredibly helpful and easy to work with throughout the whole process, which made everything so much less stressful. We had so many guests comment on how great the DJ was. I would highly recommend Kinkead Performance & Events to anyone looking for a fun, professional, and talented wedding DJ!

The Best Ever

Kris is the absolute best at what she does. She is determined, thorough and a perfectionist. If you want someone to keep everyone on course she is your person. She was the best money we spent in the whole wedding. And to top it off she makes you feel loved!

Best vendor bundle!!


I was so overwhelmed with the idea of having to search through hundreds of vendors, and absolutely struck gold finding Kinkead Performance and Events! Kris and her team handled the tasks of DJ, Coordination, and Officiant. I don’t know how they managed to juggle every role perfectly, but somehow they pulled off a miracle (and made it look easy).
As officiant, Kris pulled off a perfect balance between meaningful and lighthearted moments, and flawlessly incorporated a unique handfasting.
As a coordinator, they were life savers and kept the timeline running seamlessly. Even stepped in to run the bar when the hired bartenders showed up late!
As a DJ, they were completely on cue with important ceremony/special moment songs and during the reception, read the room perfectly and had the dance floor packed from the first song to the last.
We truly couldn’t have imagined our day without them. 10/10 hire them now!

Only the best!

Kris & Amanda have been so amazing to work with and make you feel like family! They made so many of my ideas come to life and made decorating my wedding stress free! They made sure to help in every aspect of my wedding and had so many things to offer that I never even thought about! They were so responsive and made us feel at ease about everything! Every meeting we had was so productive, and reminded me how exciting it was to plan my wedding when I was so overwhelmed! I can’t recommend them enough!!! They really are the best!!! We can’t thank you enough!

⭐️ amazing 10/10 would recommend ⭐️

Want to hire someone that feels like family? Hire Kristi and her team (shoutout Lexi and Willis) and you won't be disappointed. I'm confident in saying my wedding wouldn't have happened without them. Not only did they ease my anxiety months before the wedding, but they kept me calm while the whole world was falling apart around us. Hurricane Helene put a HUGE damper on all wedding plans and they were right there with me every step of the way. They were flexible and so willing to help me make my wedding happen while they, along with the community, were dealing with their own disasters from the storms. The decor was beautiful, the florals were beautiful, and they really took time to listen to exactly what I was wanting in every detail. Thank you for being so AMAZING and helping us have a beautiful wedding despite all plans failing!

10/10 Would recommend

This team absolutely rocked!!! I was crunched for time and ideas and they helped settle all of my concerns and gave me the best ideas. They had so much on deck as far as decorations and equipment! They are able to do so much and have the perfect energy for getting the job done. They even helped us pull together last minute missing items and smoothed over edges that would’ve otherwise caused havoc. They’re awesome and I would 10/10 recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
