Charlotte is such a great place isn't it? Maybe as a native I am a little biased, but I often find my self being thankful to live and work here. We have just about everything you want and need within reach: fantastic shopping; amazing restaurants; more concert venues than I can count; and lots of unique places like the Whitewater Center, Lowe's Motor Speedway (everyone should experience this at least once), Carowinds, and Great Wolf Lodge. A little fun fact for you: Charlotte has more churches than any city in the whole country, over 500! I most recently discovered a hidden jewel while my husband and I were babysitting our nephews and niece. Plaza Fiesta, ever heard of it? It is right next to Carowinds in an unsuspecting building. It's website boasts that it is the largest indoor playground in the southeast! Who knew? Here is picture I took while we were there, but it doesn't even do it justice. It's much bigger than the picture portrays. The kids had a blast! I must also mention, being the foodie that I am, that they have the most amazing Mexican food there as well. Very authentic, like nowhere else in the area that I've been. If you have kids, you should not miss this place! And if you don't have kids, you should go just for the food.
But I digress....Charlotte is a great place to live, and a perfect place to host an event! Today I want to tell you about One Stop Live!, a local company that provides bands, DJ, various musicians, & staging, lighting and sound. This is not your typical DJ company, they really have a great thing going. I have had the pleasure of working with Scooter Abrams, the owner of One Stop Live! on many occasions and he is just awesome! While working with Scooter for the first time, I learned that he is also a Charlotte native, and that we both went to the same high school (a few years apart). I knew that Scooter would best be able to tell me about his company, so here is what he had to say:
"One Stop Live was founded on the need for a full service, customer oriented entertainment provider for the Carolinas, that wasn't your cookie cutter "booking agency". After having worked for another agency for over 5 years, Scooter Abrams, saw a way to do business better and to focus more on the "turn key" aspects missing from most entertainment companies today. Not only to provide you value in the entertainment you choose, but being able to provide you everything else you may need to put on your event like staging, sound, lighting, etc.... His assumptions were right, because 8 years later One Stop Live has become one of the most prominent and well respected entertainment companies in the Carolinas. The wedding and private party market has become their #1 client source, with 85% of that coming from referral and word-of-mouth. Corporate clients are provided everything from national acts to regional talent options, event management, as well as full production to carry out their convention or meeting. Their hands-on approach and multi-step process to helping engaged couples find the perfect entertainment for both the ceremony and reception is second to none. They're not just booking the musician, band or DJ you choose and forget about you. They go the extra mile to personally take you throughout the process of pre-planning the entire event of activities that require the entertainer to know about and so they can not only emcee for the event, but also help manage the event for you from start to finish. This added touch, has put them on many preferred vendor lists around the Carolinas, as well as well respected wedding planners in the industry. They were featured in the cover story of Carolina Bride Magazine's April-June issue this year. Accolades and personal references from the brides themselves posted right on the website, ensure that you are getting the best the industry has to offer when it comes to your entertainment."
I couldn't have said it better myself! Scooter and his entertainers are professional, dependable and most importantly, they add to your event. See the picture here of Scooter doing his thing at one of our weddings. They know how to keep a reception moving, and keep the guests on the dance floor! So if you are looking for a fantastic entertainer for your next event, reach out to One Stop Live! and see what they have to offer. 704.533.1829 or bookings@onestoplive.com
