Everything at chickadee is thoughtfully curated into a beautiful venue. They work to include your goals into the wedding day including lavender fields, a beautiful tree, and pony for pictures. At Chickadee you have full control to make your big day truly yours. But the real magic of Chickadee is the staff! Mandy is the "Royal Event Coordinator" and is truly a magician. She has tons of wedding experience from every perspective and knows how to run a tight ship while also making things fun for everyone. Our guests and vendors absolutely loved working with her and her staff. They made the whole wedding go off without a hitch! I cannot recommend her and Chickadee enough!

We had THE BEST experience throughout the planning process with Chris, from our first conversation…read moreall the way to the end of our wedding. Chris was extremely responsive, kind, and fun to work with. Music is really important to us, so we provided a very extensive list of songs we wanted him to play (probably 4+ hours worth of music, haha). He played these songs and other songs that fit into the entire vibe of our wedding day. There was no song that we didn't love and we had many guests come up to us, complimenting him. Chris was a thoughtful and smooth MC, making sure the day was about us. He also cut two songs we wanted for our first dance since he also produces his own music, which was awesome. Also, Chris had everything he needed to set up his own DJ booth and lighting (which we didn't know if we wanted/needed, but ultimately loved!!). He was very professional and experienced. If you're looking for a DJ for your wedding, you'd be lucky to work with him!! We appreciate you, Chris!

We met with him on zoom a couple times before our wedding to discuss our songs, wants, and needs for the wedding and he went above and beyond expectations. He suggested ways to add to our entrance with our bridal party and even coordinated with them all what to do for the entrance, brought lights to make the dance floor and overall atmosphere look even better, and was so friendly and easy to work with. We can't say enough great things about him! If you are looking for an experienced, friendly, well priced, and overall great person and DJ then we recommend hiring him! The guests were texting us the next day raving about how great our DJ was and how much they enjoyed his song choices and they also loved that he had a QR code so they could request songs!

It takes a picture of your subject all around them, ending up with a short, Instagrammable, movie. Here's the deal. You stand on a stage. There's a big stick that comes out from the bottom. There's a phone on the stick. It spins around, usually twice or so over about a minute. While doing so, it's capturing video. At the end, they will airdrop the pictures to you if you're on an iPhone or they upload them to the website. I took two "rides" on the photo booth. One by myself with my Reviewer of the Year award and then a second with CM Ashley https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=i7mW5C3ZLT9h_RnDgABdPw where I held that and the Yelptime Achievement award. I liked the second one better. Ashley's a trip! They bring lighting and they add music and sparkles. It's definitely the new "must have" as you're having an event. I'm super happy with my 360 photo and I have no doubt the guests at your next party will love it too! [Review 16901 overall - 3229 in North Carolina - 416 of 2022.]

After researching local vendors for a catering event, my husband and I interviewed Travis and did a…read moretasting for a wedding reception with Travis. At the tasting, everything was prepared impeccably and on time. The food was hot, delicious, and catered to special dietary needs. We were so impressed with the quality and timeliness. We decided to enter into a contract for a substantial amount of money without any indication that the services and food we requested would be anything but on par. Much to our dismay, embarrassment and frustration, this was not the case. Travis was supposed to arrive to our venue one hour prior to the event. Approximately 10 minutes prior to that time, i received a text saying there was some unforeseen issues and our food would not arrive until an hour after the agreed upon time. 10 minutes after the hour delay and not hearing from him, I called. Mind you, we have no food, drink, nothing to give our guests. Who are all there and waiting. I called Travis to then learn, he was still in the process of PREPARING our meal and would need another 30-45 minutes to finish cooking. The venue is approximately 15 minutes travel time as well. I then instructed him to please, just bring whatever was ready as we were already waiting to just have something available for our wedding guests. Travis did not arrive until 2 hours after the agreed upon time. My guests had to help organize, set up, cut the prime rib loin, and serve the food because he did not even have the staff available he said would be there to help. The food was cold. Not just room temperature cold, but cold as if it had been sitting in a refrigerator. The prime rib was tough and unseasoned. The wings would have been great if they'd been labeled, with 4 different sauces it was hard to tell which was what flavor. All of the guests were confused as was I. The roasted veggies were so salty no one ate them. The lemonades and teas were all room temperature and served in plastic dispensers for a formal affair. I did not receive all of the food that was ordered including foods I specially ordered due to dietary restrictions. I have attempted to resolve these complaints with Kitchen Kreations and none of my concerns were addressed. An offer of a small reimbursement was made, but taxes and "fees" were supposedly taken out of the already very small suggestion for reimbursement. I have given Travis ample opportunity to correct this prior to this review and he's ignored all of my requests. I hate leaving reviews, I NEVER leave a bad review, but with his unwillingness to make this better, I am leaving a review and already communicated this to him prior to posting.
