My daughter was married on June 7, 2014. Leading up to this big event I was charged with locating…read morea DJ. Boy did I find a good one. I searched for many, found several good candidates, interviewed a few, and chose Steve. I did not go wrong. Steve was reasonably priced but incredibly did so much more...He went "above and beyond". Very personable and knowledgeable, he was also very accessible and would come with timely suggestions. The fact that he was also able to provide photography/video solutions was a bonus. His sensitivity and sense of humor really added to the reception and ceremony. And he provided comfort and assurance that we had a "backup" should we have an electrical outage.. The only small criticism I can think of is..well two. 1) He might consider a different color tent [it was blue] so as to not conflict w/ overall décor of the event..and 2) Be very careful and thorough when presenting song selections. We had one song minor hiccup. But the time leading up to and the actual event overall was superb.. I would definitely recommend Steve and Crystal Sound and Magic

I booked Crystal sound and Magic to DJ my Destination wedding nearly on a complete whim. from the…read morevery start Steve was very responsive to my phone calls and emails. He nailed the playlists for all events of the wedding (ceremony/cocktail hour/ dinner/ reception). the day of my wedding Steve and his wife Crystal went above and beyond to make sure we really enjoyed the best day of our lives. He set up his rig on the beach, where our ceremony was held. Then he moved his equipment up many many stairs to make sure we could have music and mics for speeches during our dinner. He continued to exceed my expectations by setting up a killer light show on the beach. His wife Crystal was also exceedingly helpful. when she wasnt helping the DJ set up, she was first to ask how she could be of any help. She Stepped in during dinner and helped bus all the tables, and even assisted with the breakdown of the dinner room. when the party got late and our hired bartender was relieved for the night, Crystal even stepped in as bartender while my Wife and entire wedding party continued to celebrate into the late evening. Never once did they ask what time they could pack up. they stayed all day and night without any extra fees. Everything went perfectly, they were fun to work with, and i would hire them again!! highly recommend Crystal Sound and Magic DJ services.

When I was looking for a celebratory floral gift for my mom, finding a place in Eastern NC that…read morewould create a modern arrangement that didn't look like it belonged at a funeral was extremely challenging. Thankfully, I ran across Sun Moon & Bloom online and saw their incredible arrangements, which played with asymmetry, color, and height--everything I was looking for. It was easy to place the order, they offered to deliver, and the arrangement came out beautifully. Sun Moon & Bloom will undoubtedly be my go-to shop for all my future flower needs; I cannot recommend them enough!

We decided to take a small weekend getaway to check out the local hidden gems in the small country…read moretown of Kinston NC. Home to Mother Earth Brewery and The Chef and the Farmer, Kinston is a growing town with a bright future ahead! I'll be honest, lodging is not something Kinston has much of. Outside of a pretty ritzy boutique hotel, there isn't much else. When we called to make reservations at aforementioned boutique hotel, we were so bummed to find it was booked. However, we were informed that the hotel owners had partnered with Mother Earth Brewery to renovate an old hotel in the area within walking distance of the brewery and it would be open for business April 2017. As if that wasn't exciting enough, it would be 1970s themed! Shut up and take my money! Upon arrival, you may be alarmed to find that the room doors open to the outside. DONT PANIC! Most of the rooms are not accessible from the outside. You have to enter from the interior perimeter of the building. The outside doors have been sealed shut but we're left to maintain the original charm of the building. For additional security, there are gates keeping unwanted guests on the exterior perimeter of the motel. You must use your room key to get through the gate. They do have a few rooms on the first floor, outside corners, that do open into the parking lot. They also have a few rooms that are pet friendly! The room is decorated in bright orange, red, and green true to 70s fashion. It was spotless upon arrival and smelled clean. We opted for the larger room with a living area. They did a great job with the 70s decor. True to the 70s but not gaudy or silly. The king size bed is a little firm, but I indeed slept like a baby. Our room also has painted pictures of local landmarks. So far so good in this groovy hotel!

The pool was great and the staff was so good. We really only came down to eat at The boiler room (my daughters love oysters) and to swim so it was perfect. You have to love a place that has popcorn in the lobby when you check in.
