Vendor Spotlight of the Week - Separk Mansion



Our venue spotlight of the week is a hidden treasure that leaves couples breathless when entering. Whether the glistening chandeliers, the grand entrance staircase, or the instant homey feeling you get, Separk Mansion is a space many brides can picture hosting their big day. The mansion was built by the Separk family in 1919, but the current owners bought the space and after two years of renovations, this spectacular space has been hosting weddings for five years now. Their brand of southern hospitality makes everyone feel welcome from start to finish with their high level of service.

Tim Clark is the owner of Separk Mansion while Brittanie Pate is the Manager. Her position entails overseeing all weddings and handling wedding coordination as well. Whether orders or staffing, her main goal is making sure all is running smoothly. A lot of people in this industry have like-minded values, so Brittanie says getting close with those she works with and the connections she makes allows her to do her job without it feeling like work. Kinsey is also a full-time coordinator that works right with Brittanie so all grounds are covered. They believe in having them handle all the chaos as it is the couple’s one big day. Their number one focus is keeping all stress off the bride, especially the day of her wedding.

A major key factor of Separk is their “Inclusive Package” that has much more than most venues included. Whether catering, bar, cake, or rentals, Separk believes by making the experience as simple and easy-going as possible allows couples to enjoy their entire experience without being overwhelmed.


Venue rental of the mansion includes 9 hours of indoor and outdoor usage as only one wedding a day is hosted. The entire mansion is rented, not parts. A key factor that this venue offers is their “Inclusive Package” that has much more than most venues included. Two-month wedding coordination, day of coordination, point of contact during full process, decorations, tables, chairs, linens, cake, centerpieces, and four hours of open beer & wine are all included. Making the experience as simple and easy-going as possible allows couples to enjoy their entire experience without being overwhelmed.

The vendors they recommend and work with most are a direct reflection on the mansion in their eyes. They look for vendors that provide the same level of service as they do whether friendly to work with or reliable. Brittanie said, “It makes us happy when brides let us know they have already chosen SSS. We know we will not have to worry about anything. If they haven’t chosen a DJ yet, we always recommend Split Second!” We have to agree - When we provide entertainment for Separk Mansion couples, we instantly get excited because we know it all will go off without a hitch and be an epic party!

With their success exceeding expectations every single year, we can only imagine what the years to come have in store for this venue! To the entire Separk Mansion team, we thank you for your constant support and confidence in our services. Bring on another wedding season with this crew - We are so ready!

DJ Feature - Chris Pounds

While all of SSS MC/DJs are exclusive, Chris Pounds is also our full-time DJ, so we are sure you have seen his face around at many of our events! When first moving to Charlotte, he DJ’d at the same club every Friday for 3 months knowing every song that would be played after the next, after the next. That situation was not allowing Chris to take his craft to the next limit, which led him to inquiring with Split Second. Although his mixing was top notch, he still completed our training process to learn how to run a wedding, master his coordination & interaction, and truly learn the SSS way and understand the SSS brand. Chris’ love for spinning started at a gymnasium party 30 years ago. He saw a friend on the turntables, began learning the fundamentals of spinning & creating music, and started his official DJ career in his early 20s. He puts high emphasis on himself on how to not just get guests on the dance floor, but keep them there all night. He pushes himself to entertain by...

DJ Spotlight of the Week- Derek Andreas

Let’s shine the spotlight on Derek this week! Derek started DJing at the young age of 15 years old when he took over a friend’s family DJ business. Through going to gigs with them, he fell in love with music. Derek met Vinny while running in a 10K that he was DJing. At first, Vinny did not have a spot for Derek within the company, but Derek was very determined to join the SSS Family and did not give up. He actually showed up at Vinny’s house to play for him and to be considered as a SSS DJ. After seeing his skills and attention to detail, Vinny knew he had to give him a shot. He went through our extensive training process like all DJs with us, and now Derek has been with us for eleven years. He contributes his success in this industry and with Split Second Sound to the dedication of our DJs and the drive to get better at every single event. When asked what characteristics make him stand out as a DJ, Derek said, “I believe in being extremely prepared at each event. I wa...
