Founders Hall is based out of Bank of America Global Headquarters as they are owned by the bank and part of the bank. Founders Hall offers in- house catering through two options, Aria and City Smoke, as both are attached to Founders Hall directly. Aria is modern Italian and City Smoke offers modern rotisserie cooking. If you have never visited this venue or tried the entrees at both restaurants, stop what you are doing and go now. We promise you will not be disappointed!!

Jenny Ross, Sales Director at Founders Hall, has worked at this spectacular space for about three and a half years now. Although each day is always something new and exciting in this industry, Jenny says her favorite thing about being in the industry is the instant gratification she gets from her clients. “When I see the client walk in and see their expectations exceeded right on the spot, and seeing our clients thrilled with everything you have done right in front of their face is the best feeling!” she says.

Jenny and the team at Founders Hall including her main gal Mariah Fermil believe their attention to detail is what makes them a strong contender in the industry. Jenny and Mariah are event professionals in a world of food. Jenny says, “We care about every aspect of the day running smoothly. We come from all angles to an event to make sure it goes off without a hitch. How an event is viewed and should be executed is one of a kind.” Jenny looks for reliability in preferred vendors. Split Second Sound is the only DJ company that Jenny will recommend. She knows we will show up and give the client great service every single time.

You can find one of our Split Second Sound DJs at Founders Hall just about every weekend providing for ceremony, cocktail, and/or reception, but we also have our Client Concierge Service there all the time, too! Jenny strongly recommends a day-of coordinator for weddings because having a day-of coordinator takes the stress off from the bride. When brides have a point person, they do not have to worry about logistics and making everything flow smoothly themselves. Jenny says, “Offering the Client Concierge service was such a smart business move of Split Second’s. It makes our jobs easier knowing that someone will be there to handle everything needed in a professional way. We trust these girls that do that service and are confident in the work they will do. I will always recommend it for my brides as a must have!”

Jenny is excited about future opportunities at Founders Hall. “Our main goal is to work to really refine our self not only as a venue, but catering company in Charlotte,” she says. They want to exceed their client’s expectations and provide top of the line event experience. We know that goal will absolutely be achieved as they do that every event now. We are huge fans of Jenny & the entire Founder’s Hall team and consider it a great honor to be the only DJ company they recommend.

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...

Our DJs arrive on site to all events hours before and are required to "check in" with Laura in the case of emergency. Laura also handles and responds to our weekend emails and inquiries helping to keep SSS's response time as fast as possible!

DJ Spotlight of the Week - Mike Glass

Mike Glass comes to us at SSS for many years, but has always been involved with music since he was a young boy. He grew up playing the piano and saxophone from elementary to high school, but eventually his brother started a DJ group and he tagged along. He DJ’d his way through high school and college and does not plan on stopping anytime soon. Why give up on such a unique talent that you have such a passion for?! When Mike moved to Charlotte as a teacher, he took a 10K pay cut. He was looking for a way to make extra money and returning to his DJ roots seemed like the best route. Mike says, “I was fortunate enough to respond to an ad and had an opportunity to interview with Vinny. What stuck out to me was the sense of family he portrayed. DJs were sticking with Split for 10 years and beyond. With the crazy egos we DJs can have, you have to be a good person to keep people around that long.” Mike’s flexibility makes him stand out within our company. Mike says, “You can find...
