Vendor Spotlight of the Week- Ballantyne Country Club


The name Ballantyne is a staple in the Charlotte area. It is a brand in and of itself that offers hundreds of houses, restaurants, and of course beautiful wedding venues.

The Ballantyne Country Club is known for its magnificent event lawn and clubhouse for ceremonies and reception with their stunning views. The gardens and acres of rolling hills make this venue picture-perfect for any event you want to have!

Amanda McCleery, Senior Events Manager at Ballantyne Country Club, works diligently to execute each event from beginning to end as she has worked at Ballantyne CC for four years now.

One of Amanda’s favorite events that she planned was the 20th Anniversary Party for the Country Club. She said, “It was fun to celebrate with the members that had been there from the start.” Being a country club, maintaining memberships and their happiness is crucial to the success of the venue itself. In addition to coordinating weddings, Amanda also handles the planning and executing of golf outings, celebrity events, and charity events.


Ballantyne Country Club typically hosts about twenty-six weddings each year. Amanda is very passionate about seeing these events unfold by meeting with the bride and groom initially to learn about their vision, working with them each step of the way to achieve every detail, and celebrating with them by ensuring their day is flawless. The twenty-two year old club has had a lot of recent construction which enables the venue to host more events. The event team really makes Ballantyne Country Club stand out from other venues. When planning an event, the team is by your side from start to finish. The same person works with the client throughout the entire event to guarantee every element of the event is perfect.

The Ballantyne Country Club maintains a very family oriented atmosphere. Amanda enjoys getting to know each family and planning events for big milestones for these families. The planning goes beyond just the day of though. Amanda has gotten to experience a trifecta for one couple in particular. She helped plan the wedding for the couple, then their first baby shower and now is planning their second baby shower. She says, “I enjoy seeing the families grow and building relationships with them.”


When Amanda and the staff are looking for other vendors to recommend to clients, they are looking for vendors that will treat their clients the same way they would. She wants to ensure the vendors are professional, timely, and flexible. Of course, they always love working with Split Second Sound! “When SSS is here, I know I don’t have to worry about anything, and I know that my clients are in good hands,” Amanda says.

Future plans for Ballantyne Country Club include continuing to grow and be one of the number one wedding venues in Charlotte. Our entire team at SSS is excited for another successful (and fun) wedding season with this crew!

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...

DJ Feature - Steve Bradle

He got his first KISS album when he was just six years old. He would crank it as loud as the stereo would handle and jump around on the bed playing air guitar with his tennis racquet and singing at the top of his lungs. When people asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up, the answer was simple….A ROCKSTAR! He got his first start as a lead singer in a hair band when he was 15 and the rest, well, it has been history. Everyone meet Steve Bradle! Steve has a part of the Carolina Panthers Black & Blue Crew for 6 seasons and is even co-captain and one of the four flag runners when the Panthers score a touchdown.
