About Kinkead Performance & Events

Kinkead Performance & Events

Designer/Planner/Coordinator

We are women owned & operated, and we provide Officiation, Design, Planning, Coordination, Set Up, Break Down, Decorating, Bartending & DJ services. We also provide digital design, decor and faux floral rentals, plus have an Audio guestbook. We love what we do! We love making our couples' wedding days the best we possibly can by not just making their vision a reality, but also by taking as much stress off of them as we can. We are pretty much a one stop shop for events of all kinds and what we don't provide, we have connections to great people who do! We would love to help you out with your big day & any other events you have coming up.

We like to think what sets us apart from other vendors is our commitment to open lines of communication at all times. We would rather you ask us a question than wonder about something. We pretty much answer all messages and calls immediately (within a couple of hours) and if we can't talk immediately, we will try not to leave you hanging--we will instead let you know we saw your message and get back to you ASAP! We also believe in collaboration over competition so we will make sure to get what you need, even if it isn't through us. We want you to be happy with your day and will make sure we do our best for that to happen for you.

In three words: Confident, Honest, Resourceful

    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!

    Kris and her team were absolutely incredible throughout our entire wedding planning journey. From the day I booked with her, she consistently checked in to see how I was doing and was always available whenever I had a question, needed advice, or simply wanted someone to talk to. I could honestly go on and on about how amazing she is! Just two days before our wedding, we had a major cake mishap. I called Kris, and within 10 minutes she had found a new baker. The replacement cake was not only stunning but also absolutely delicious. If anyone ever tells you that you don't need a wedding planner or coordinator, this experience alone is proof of why you do! Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. Kris and her team transformed the space beautifully and made sure we never had to worry about a single thing. With a high chance of rain in the forecast, Kris closely monitored the weather all day. Together, we made the decision to move the ceremony indoors, and she and her team quickly and seamlessly reset the ceremony space without missing a beat. After the wedding, several members of our bridal party and family commented on how grateful they were that they could truly relax and enjoy the day because Kris and her team had everything under control. I cannot recommend Kris and her team enough. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and I will always be grateful they were such an important part of our special day!

    We are so grateful for Kristi! She stepped in and took over as our officiant last minute and made the whole experience perfect! She made our ceremony short and sweet- exactly what we wanted and made the entire experience feel easy, meaningful, and stress-free. She stayed in close contact with us afterward as well, helping with local recommendations and answering questions about our marriage certificate, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant :)

    We had the best experience with Kristi and her team for our cabin wedding! We came from out of town and she gave us so much peace taking care of everything for us. We used her recommendations for flowers and and catering. We were able to rent all of our decor, tables, and chairs through her services which made everything so easy from states away. She is affordable and worth every $ to keep my sanity during the stressful wedding planning. I highly recommend using her for all the services she offers!

    We had the best experience with our DJ team! I originally met with Kristi to go over all the details, and she was so helpful, organized, and easy to talk to throughout the planning process. For our wedding, Larry was our DJ and he was AMAZING. They are both so personable and truly great at what they do. Everything flowed perfectly, from the ceremony to the reception, and the music was exactly what we wanted. Larry kept the energy up all night and made sure everything stayed on track. Everyone had the best time!! I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ experience and would highly recommend them to anyone getting married!
