    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!

    The best coordinator!!

    Kristi and her team were so fantastic from start to finish. They were super responsive and quick to solve any problem. I trusted them 100% and I’m so thankful I did! The night went so smoothly because of their hard work and dedication. We can’t thank them enough!

    Service So good that a Vendor hired them!

    We have been working with Kinkead Events for years and are always impressed by what this team does! There is no easier way to have a stress free wedding or event! As a vendor this is who me and my husband have entrusted to handle our DJ, Coordination, and design needs because we know it will be perfect!

    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!

    Dream Come True!!!

    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!!!

    Look no more

    If I could have 100 weddings, I would pick Kris to be my DJ every single time. She was amazing.. kept the party going, was so quick to respond any time I had a question and is just an awesome person all around. If you’re looking for a DJ who cares, CHOOSE HER!

    They are the best!

    Kris, Amanda, and Lexi are the best. My day would not have been the same without them. They handled so many things so beautifully. They never once complained or hesitated if I wanted to change something. They were genuinely happy to make me happy. There were little hiccups that happened throughout the day. They made sure they were handled appropriately without the bride having to find out. This day would not have been the same without them. I’m so thankful, and even more thankful our family now calls them friends. I cannot recommend these ladies and this company enough.

    Wedding DJ

    If you are looking for a fun and wild time please book Kinkead Performance and Events. We had an absolute blast and wouldn’t imagine anyone else DJing our wedding. They helped us so much coordinating and figuring out every detail of how the music and everything would be planned out. I was a mess not knowing how things were going to go but with the reassurance from Kris, she really put me at ease. Such a beautiful night that I’ll never forget

    Grateful for Kinkead Performance

    Kinkead Performance accepted our booking request so very last minute after we were scammed by our original DJ TWO weeks before our destination wedding, therefore we'll forever be grateful. Everyone involved is incredibly kind and reliable! They'll play any song you request and make sure the bride & groom, as well as guests, are having a great time! Everything was great & we're very appreciative.

    AMAZING!!! Treats you just like family!!!

    Where do I start...... I am so glad I chose her to do my wedding. First, we got married in Sevierville and live in Memphis, she helped me find local vendors at a reasonable price in the area. When I tell you I would text her all the time with something different, LOL, and she would help me with anything I needed. Sometimes I come up with crazy ideas, and she was right there helping me along the way. I love Kristi like family now! YOU WILL NOT GO WRONG IF YOU CHOOSE HER FOR ANY PART OF YOUR WEDDING. She Officiated, DJ, Coordination and helped with the decor. She is your one stop shop..
    We love you,
    MR & MRS Herring

    Best DJ in East TN

    When it comes to DJ's you will not be disappointed with Kris. She was super responsive to all my questions and concerns (nothing with her, just my anxiety). She jumped in when she saw we needed something, super easy to work with and goes above and beyond for her clients!!

    Kristi is the best DJ

    We hired Kristi for a couple of events. She rolled with the punches and changes without hesitation. She worked with our budget. She is the life of the party and really knows how to bring people out of their shell. I will never hire a different DJ. 💜
