Vendor Spotlight of the Week- Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens


Located in Belmont, Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens is the perfect venue for weddings, corporate events, adult & kid birthday parties, and celebrations of any kind. The 110-acre venue has multiple themed gardens that would be a stunning backdrop for any event. The space was purchased in 1991, but did not open for wedding spaces until 2003. Since then, hundreds of couples have put their special day in DSBG’s hands for a multitude of reasons.

If you have not visited the grounds, we highly encourage you to as the beauty is unreal! On top of the gorgeous backdrops, the faces behind the success of the venue are always going above and beyond for every event. The Event and Sales Coordinator Aly Bridwell works with each bride and groom to ensure their wedding day is picture-perfect. She handles it all from the inquiry to the venue tours to working with all vendors of the event.

Aly’s favorite event that she has been a part of at DSBG was a memorial service. She says, “A guy’s wife passed away. We knew he was in a tough place. We worked with him to get a good price, so he could have it in the gardens where his wife would have enjoyed it.”
Aly has been in the event industry for about four years now. She says “The look you see on a bride’s face at the end of the day when you know they are happy and satisfied is incredible. Just knowing that we were a part of making that happen is the best feeling.” The staff is all intertwined at DSBG, so you can work with anyone and get the best customer service that makes you feel welcome from the moment you are greeted to your event.

Aly and the team at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens love working with Split Second Sound. When looking for preferred vendors, Aly wants people who live up to their mission to create an inspiring, unforgettable garden experience. Aly says, “SSS makes it easy for me. They always make everything go smoothly and help create a great event”. SSS was the hired DJ Entertainment for the first wedding Aly did at DSBG. She said if she was missing anything, our team helped her out. That is what vendor teamwork is all about in our books!! 

This venue is just getting started though as the expansions never end. Whether it is new exhibits or renovating bridal suites and the white garden, anything they can do to make it a better experience for clients, they will do. We are always excited to receive a referral from this incredible venue and never get tired of creating memories for customers there. Working alongside other vendors who are so well respected but also enjoyable to be around makes another day “in the office” not even feel like work. We value our relationship with this team tremendously and admire them for all the reasons above.

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. We wanted that same dedication, organization, and of course fun for our next city and found that when Chris Bower came along. Chris is originally from Florida but moved to Asheville in early 2018. 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. 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 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. He has been backup to Chubby with the CHeckers, has danced in front of 72k people as Sir Purr’s mini si...
