I really enjoyed my visit to Tryon Palace! I learned a lot about the history of New Bern, which was…read morevery cool. This house is a very nice reconstruction, as the original one burned down. The guide was very knowledgeable, and they even had fake food set out in the dining room! The gardens were lovely, and you could wander in them for a while (we didn't, just because it was so hot). Definitely a reasonable price to pay for a 45-minute history lesson.

The history was so interesting and I asked a lot questions as well - she didn't seem to kind! And I actually stumped bet on one of the equations. Make sure you walk around the grounds and the gardens as well. They have a pretend military camp based in 1774, so that was very interesting. Well worth it! If you are a senior make sure you ask for the discount - not advertised!

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.

It was a bit of drive and the front wasn't very alluring with a few old cutouts to take pictures…read moreof, but the staff was very friendly, the prices very rea, and the mums were gorgeous (only yellow)! Also check out the hertiage pumpkins and gourds. They were so unique and perfect for decorating your porch. If you have kiddos, the pillow jump is fun, the shade kind of sits low (hits your head if you're tall) but at least there's shade. Watch out for the ants, they're in the sand box and by the fence if you want to look at the goats. Definitely get a mining bag. They have a fun water tower to sift your dirt and find some fun gems. I'd skip the ice cream shop but take a look at the flowers and the pumpkins. Bought both of those and they didn't break the bank. The corn maze should be open by now so that's probably fun. The place wasn't too busy and luckily not too hot. They have two restrooms available and plenty of parking.

Worth checking out if you're in the area!

I myself am a photographer/framer and have done most of my own framing work but since moving here have neither the equipment nor the necessary workspace. And even if I did, I think I'd still use Pic for more expensive, intricate, delicate or special pieces. I rely heavily on their expertise and it is a rare pleasure to work with them. They have given me excellent recommendations and offer suggestions in a way that is without any of the intimidation I've sometimes experienced in other frame shops. Prices are equivalent to other non-corporate frame shops and sure beat the prices in Boston!

Jake from the moment we walked in was the quintessential professional with a warm heart. He didnt push you into anything and you could tell that he was very passionate about his craft and he business. Exactly the kind of person youd want running any business and the type of person youd want to model yoir employees after if you are a independent business owner. My daughter wasn't even a bit hesitant or scared Jake made it easy for her to focus and learn something new. I even got in on it and before I knew was asking him to custom a bow for me that I purchased on the spot. Everything about my experience from entrance to exit was memorable and I highly recommend it for anyone that is interested in archery at any level or has children that would like to learn from a knowledgeable compassionate instructor. It maybe an hour drive for me but I would and will make it on a regular basis.

We were there for a wedding The weather was extremely hot…read morewhere the wedding was being held was in the middle of a yard with a very nice view But you really should have covers over the area with maybe those fans with waters blowers Then you go to where the dinner is being held and it's in a building without a real air conditioning system just lots of doors that we were all open for cross ventilation Funny But best of all the bathroom wasn't any better than a out house with a pretty outside It smelled horrible For someone to pay to have such a nice event there you would think that would be much better I just have to say a lot to be desired maybe the winter is better who knows
