Kim works with her team of Special Events Managers to provide impeccable service for each event booked at The Ritz-Carlton. In addition to outstanding service, the Ritz is also known for their amazing food. Everything is in house catering, which makes the planning process easier on the client. Kim and her team are known to go above and beyond for their clients and are very quick to respond - Two major factors to keep in mind when choosing your venue!

This contemporary hotel offers 146 overnight rooms and a large event space that is flexible to have weddings, large social events, corporate meetings, and mitzvahs. The in-house spa is the perfect destination for a relaxing bachelor party, girls get away, or team building activities with the incredible views of our city.

In addition to planning dream weddings, Kim and her team also have other events at the luxury hotel. Some of Kim’s favorite events include working with the Make A Wish Foundation and Dream on Three Foundation as she loves having the opportunity to bring wishes of anyones to life.

The Ritz-Carlton was the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) built hotel in Charlotte and the first built for the Ritz-Carlton Brand. The Ritz-Carlton in Charlotte earned this certification by multiple characteristics that make this hotel “green” and environmentally friendly. The roof of the Ritz is vegetated with vegetables and herbs, which are used in the craft cocktails of the hotel restaurant and bar. Not only is the Ritz LEED certified, but they also received a Five Diamond award for consistently outstanding customer service.

Kim and the Special Events Managers look for vendors that treat their customers with the same outstanding customer service as they would treat them at their venue. Kim says, “One of my favorite things about working in the hospitality industry is the local vendors because they are a wonderful group of people.” Kim loves making people happy and especially enjoys working with Split Second Sound. “The customer service is always amazing. We know our couples will be taken care of as SSS always listens to what the couple needs,” Kim says.

The feeling is mutual with our fabulous Kim and everyone at The Ritz-Carlton. Being able to work alongside such a well respected and high end venue and team like theirs makes every event not only enjoyable, but also unforgettable.

Split Second Sound is now in Asheville NC Full-Time with Chris Bower!

It has happened! Split Second Sound has officially also expanded to Asheville NC full time while still holdin' it down in The Queen City, Charlotte NC! Two cities, same incredible product, and even more unforgettable parties!! Being a part of many weddings in the beautiful city of Asheville as well as providing entertainment for many members of the Biltmore family members’ weddings, expanding to this city has always been a goal of Split Second Sound’s. We are firm believers that in order to bring a dream to life, it takes the right people and best support system. Our Charlotte office runs like a well-oiled machine, and our DJs here are unmatched.

After getting to know his extensive DJ background, his loving family, and his drive to make a difference with his work,...

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.

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. He is a full-time personal trainer with Camp Gladiator where he runs five outdoor workout locations for 60-70 people weekly. He has been a part of the Charlotte Hornets Swarm Squad and at one time was a professional mascot with the Charlotte Hounds lacrosse team.
