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!

They were absolutely fantastic to work with! Highly recommend

They did day of coordination and DJ service for my daughter’s wedding. I will definitely use them again if I have another event. Super communicative and went above and beyond what we expected. As mother of the bride, I didn’t have to worry about anything. They took care of it all. Love, love Kristi and Lexi!

Amanda and Kristi are very professional. I could not recommend them enough! They made sure our day was smooth and stress free. I could not have asked for better coordinators and DJ! I also got their selfie station and flower package and I was blown away by all of it! They truly helped our day be as special as possible down to the very last minute! Thank you guys for all you have done and being such a special part of our lives!!!
