There is always some stress the day of the party but it was such a breath of fresh air to have them come in and set-up, and then break down at the end of the party. They're very professional, and the kids had a blast at the party. I can't wait to use them again.

Manica Walker is very talented and she exceeds expectations on gifts that I have ordered and if there is an issue she keeps you posted and the gifts the artwork are A-1 beautiful I go to Manica Walker for everything she has the space to host some of my events like birthday parties, I have gotten shirts made from Manica, diaper cakes for friends having babies black art and other artwork in my house and I cant not paint. and she doesn't make you feel like you can't do it she always gives us a picture but says art is your own creation you do not have to paint your painting like the picture she makes you feel like you can paint I started doing paint classes with her and I am excited to be working with her. Thank you, Manica Walker, for everything

From planning and decorating to the final moments of the big day, my experience with Barn at the…read moreCovered Bridge was amazing! I loved the bridal suite! My girls and I felt pampered and relaxed in our separate and spacious area :) My wedding ceremony was supposed to be outside by the pond in the beautiful green pasture, bright white fences and the covered bridge in the background- I was so excited about it! Due to weather we had to move the ceremony inside the barn. The main 'barn' space was easy to transform from a structured ceremony space to a relaxed and open reception party. Michelle Cornell was an amazing wedding coordinator- organized and kept everything on schedule and I didn't have to worry about anything on my special day! Hal was an entertaining and engaging MC- we got so many comments from our guests about how beautiful and fun our event was!

Geneva was THE BEST wedding planner!!! Our wedding developed into something I never could have done…read moreon my own in such a short amount of time. We chose an elopement with just my husband and me and our three boys but we still wanted all of the elements a standard wedding! Geneva pulled everything together so perfectly! From the outdoor, waterfront venue to the vintage themed bouquet to the perfect pastor and the photographer... plus ALL the little details in between that I never would have thought of. And it all fit within our budget!!!! She had everything run seamless and smooth and put personal touches on everything. This was no cookie cutter elopement and you could tell she puts every ounce of herself into each event to make it special, whether big or small. Thank you SO MUCH Geneva, we will forever use you to plan events and will recommend you to every person we meet!

The most frequent feedback from my wedding guests was, "this is the best wedding reception, it was…read moreso much fun." Fox, Frankie, and their team were the first vendor I hired for my event. Entertainment for my wedding reception was the most important detail for me and they did not disappoint. Their professionalism, quality of work, preparation, and attention to detail was remarkable. They handled last minute venue problems with grace and made sure to get my event across the finish line. They kept my family and guests entertained and engaged for the entire event. If you are on the fence about choosing them, just do it, you will not regret working with them. I feel like BTA is now friends of the family and appreciate their work.

After talking with Fox Feltman & Frankie Hill for only a few moments, I knew I needed BTA…read moreEntertainment at my wedding. There were several factors I was prepared to spend money on for our wedding: my dress, the food, the photographer, and the DJ. I'm a firm believer you get what you pay for, and I can honestly say this company is completely worth every penny. My husband wasn't entirely convinced that I had made the right choice booking this DJ until he talked to Frankie & saw her in action. He was blown away! If you're shying away because of the price, DON'T. BTA does so much more than play music; they create an indescribable atmosphere that will insure every guest from your 70 year old grandma to your 7 year old cousin has the time of their lives. Before the wedding, Frankie took the time to talk to us in-depth regarding not only our music choices, but how we wanted the evening to unfold. She found every song we picked, guided us when we had questions, and basically made the day "ours" in every sense of the word. Our ceremony & reception were so professional, and more importantly, they represented our fun-loving nature. The pace of the evening was *perfect*. Frankie kept our guests entertained with up-beat games, engaging dialogue, and perfectly timed dance sets. So many people approached us and told us they've never been to a more fun wedding! And I may be biased, but I had an absolute blast. Definitely the best wedding EVAR, and it was mainly due to our incredible DJ, Frankie at BTA Entertainment.

Came to Emerald Isle with 3 generations and wanted to have sometime with all and take home…read moresomething special for the memories. This was perfect. Only my daughter has any art experience- mom and I are clueless. Still, we did the select your own painting and it went well. The artist who was supposed to come had a flat tire, so the owner,Joshua, called to let us know he would be substituting and would be 10 minutes late. Thought it was super great that he did that, and didn't just cancel the class as it was really end of the tourist season and besides us three there was only one other person. He showed up with a very upbeat attitude. He ran the paint along for the other woman and helped us as needed. He was patient and very nice. It was a nice night and it made me feel creative which I haven't felt in awhile. Was fun and I recommend it. Fear not if you have no experience- Anyone can do it!
