nd love really helped reassure me because 😅 I am an anxiety filled person. I've even come to see her as a friend. Definitely recommend her 1k%
Kinkead performance and events was an absolute BLAST! Kristi made us feel like a part of her family from the minute we reached out. She was our DJ, but she felt like our best friend. She helped us navigate our music style to pick the best songs...
for both us and our guests. The dance floor was a hit! More importantly to us, Kristi made an effort to make all of our guests feel included. She would queue up a song, and then she’d join the dance floor and party along with our guests. She made sure that no one danced alone, and that was incredibly meaningful! She was also constantly offering help throughout our engagement. She helped us with so many vendor recommendations along the way. We love love love Kinkead Performances & Events. You will too!
Kris and Amanda are absolutely phenomenal!!! These two ladies work so hard in everything they do and will make you feel so special and loved throughout the entire wedding planning process. My only regret was that I didn’t hire them sooner. They...
planned and put everything together for my big day, did everything they said they would, stayed in touch with me daily, we always easy to get ahold of and always made sure my thoughts and feelings came before anyone else’s. I couldn’t have asked for two better people to help me with my wedding. I also used Kris for her dj skills on my wedding day which was always just perfect. She is super fun and upbeat and interacts with the guests. She made the wedding so much fun played great music and took requests, I would absolutely hire her again to dj. You won’t be disappointed with these ladies they are truly the best.
I highly recommend Kristi for your event. She was so helpful through the planning process, and made our wedding so special. It was like working with one of our friends, and she made us feel so welcome and truly focused on us.

Thank you so much! It was such a pleasure to work with you!
I’ve hire this vendor for DJ services for my daughter’s sweet 16 party, for a prom and for a few other events. I have tried other DJs in the area and they just do not measure up to Kristi. She will always be my “go to” DJ.

Meet the Team
Kristi Dance-Kinkead
Owner
I love my job! Ever since I started working with music & people over two decades ago, I knew this was where I needed to be. Add to that my ability to read a crowd & make executive decisions, teach & dance a serious Wobble, & my overall love for love & pretty much everyone — I found my niche in the wedding industry. Working as a DJ is as natural as breathing, & soon after I branched out with this, it became apparent that wedding coordination is a great fit for me as well. My husband says I’ve found my passion & a renewed sense of purpose & pride with my business. I’m in love with it all!
