Kramer Events

Due to changing our entire wedding to be intimate, we weren’t able to use Kramer Events. But based on experience of customer service, we would definitely use this company in the future! Melissa is so friendly and personal, she really cares about the visions you have for your dream wedding. In addition, they are so awesome at communicating, making sure everything is perfect. I can see why this company is so successful, and it’s not because they’re in it for the money. But for the people.
Thank you Kramer Events!

This review is 2 years overdue; but here it is! We chose Kramer Events to DJ at our wedding. They are the premier company on the central coast for sure. They have a ton of services to offer– although we just used them for DJ and sound services during our ceremony. They know what people like and they know most of the venues in the area which is really nice. Even if you are just in the stages of venue selection for the central coast you should look at their website. They have a really cool «find your venue» section that is super helpful in venue selection.
We loved working with them. Super easy and flawless! You can even create a ton of playlists on their website and there is even a «Do not play» list. We did have a short conference call with our DJ (who’s name escapes me) so he could get to know us a little bit beforehand. We wanted a variety of music and our DJ managed to get it all in without being choppy or weird. Our DJ kept people dancing all night long. It was a blast! Thanks Kramer Events.

Beau and Melissa wonderful to work with! They made great suggestions but never over sold us on services we didn’t express a need for. Beau was our DJ and he was awesome! He worked with us on the playlists for the entire event. He kept our dance floor packed all night!
The uplighting Kramer Events added to the Barn at the Santa Margarita Ranch was beautiful, candle-​like glow the lights created gave the room a perfect ambiance. We rented beautiful chandeliers from Kramer and they made the barn so elegant and romantic. Any venue would be greatly improved with Kramer lighting options!
We also rented a photo booth from them and it was so much fun! Can’t wait to see all the fun photos they got.
Thanks so much for making our event so memorable Beau!

Thank you Liz for sharing this wonderful feedback with other brides! It was a pleasure working with you too! Thank you for choosing Kramer Events!

If you are like me and overwhelmed by the endless possibilities in wedding planning– don’t be! Just book with Kramer! You will be more than taken care of. They did an amazing job with our DJ service — Jose is so great and a lot of fun! The day of the wedding went by SO incredibly fast, Jose did a great job of keeping in contact with me if I wanted anything changed or skipped, whatever we wanted!
Melissa is genuinely SO sweet and so professional. I knew I was in good hands from the start.
Pearce was also incredibly nice and helpful and came out to do a walk through of the venue with my before the wedding so we felt even more reassured.
Look no further just book them!:)

From beginning to the end, Kramer aced the entire service!
Setup crew — Rocked!
Pierce, the DJ, was fabulous and ensured everyone was having a great time.
Booking process was a breeze.
Photo Booth was so so so much fun.
I loved the entire experience with Kramer Events. Thank you for making the Butlerz Events hosted SLO Chamber Mixer a great success!

The Kramers are fantastic and they will treat you like family! Melissa is so sweet and genuinely caring — she worked incredibly hard to make sure that our wedding day was perfect and that the planning process was easy, stress free, and fun. Beau was our DJ and he kept the party going, read the crowd, and made little adjustments here and there to keep things going. He was so nice and patient when we met ahead of time and really went the extra mile for us. The lighting was stunning as well. I’ve had so many friends and family members tell me that the music was great, the room looked amazing, and that it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to and I have Kramer Events to thank for that.

I can’t say enough great things about Kramer Events. Melissa was so great to deal with from the start — always prompt and full of information, offering options, solid advice, and occasionally great discounts without ever pressuring us. She made everything easy. We ended up just doing a DJ/​MC package for our wedding reception with a wireless speakers/​mic combo for the ceremony and it worked perfectly. Their DJ/​MC pricing was completely reasonable. Their online system is great and their library is huge, but we wanted a lot of special music (remixes, mashups, covers) and they were totally willing to accommodate us.
Our DJ/​MC was Bruce Jones and he was awesome! He sent us gentle reminders and questions when we took twice as long as we said we would to get him the music, and showed no signs of stress even when we hadn’t given him the last bit of info he needed until the day before the wedding. We eventually told him to just mix it up and make it work however he thought was best, and he did it well — using pretty much all music/​requests that we provided and assembling it in a way that flowed seamlessly and kept the energy going throughout the night. He did not play anything that we specifically asked him not to play, followed all of our instructions perfectly, and made only minor changes as needed in ways that were invisible to our guests to keep the timing of events going smoothly throughout the night. The music was never too loud or too quiet, and his announcements were delivered without a hint of cheesiness. Really, I highly, highly recommend Bruce, Melissa, and Kramer in general!

Kramer Events provided DJ/​MC and Wedding Coordination services for our wedding ceremony and reception. In every way all of the services provided met and exceeded all of our expectations.
Jose, our DJ/​MC was attentive to all of our detailed requests regarding music, order of events, etc. He was the best DJ/​MC I’ve ever experienced at a wedding. He created the perfect atmosphere at our wedding reception with a combination of both intimate moments and high energy, jump up and down dance music. All the feedback from our guests was it was such a fun wedding!
Mary, our coordinator was beyond amazing. She created a day for us that was beyond what he expected our wedding to look and feel like. We are highly detail oriented people and she was able to carry out and execute every detail with grace and ease. We had some vendors that were a bit more unconventional (family friends as caters and servers, etc.) and she coordinated with them to perfection. Our day was magical and I am so clear it is in large part due to the efforts Mary and her team provided. I am forever grateful for her being a part of our day!

Had a great experience with Kramer Events. Photo booth worked great, came with a photo album, the chandelier I rented was hung as specified, our DJ (Chase) met with us via skype and was awesome. A great night!

All I can say is «Wow!» I am still in the process of finalizing some of the MANY options Kramer has to offer, but I am having so much fun doing so, and I’m super excited to see everything in action! The staff is very friendly and helpful. I’ve stopped in on several occasions, with and without an appointment, and I was treated like family and received undivided attention every time. If you are planning on throwing the PARTY OF THE CENTURY, Kramer Events is a MUST! They have everything you can imagine: lighting, music, event coordination, and hospitality. They are so much FUN! I’ll definitely update everyone, with pictures, after my event takes place, but so far, I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Amazing customer service! My wife and I just had our wedding at Paso Robles at Oakdale Ranch and we had Kramer provide the photo booth and up lighting for the outdoor event. They worked with us on all our little details and were very fair with their pricing! You can find a better group. The lighting at our wedding was perfect and beautiful and the photo booth was such a huge hit and we have hilarious photos that will last a lifetime! Go with Kramer!

They had the photo booth at our reunion. It was soooooo frustrating that the image on the screen in front of us was flipped. The pictures all were off centered. Maybe they needed to check the set-​up before they bailed out.

Kramer Events and, more specifically Chase, rocked our wedding reception!
My wife and I didn’t want what we considered to be your typical wedding reception music. We may have actually threatened Chase with dire consequences for playing songs like «YMCA» or «We are Family». When it came down to it, Chase was able to take the minimal direction we gave and turn it into an awesome evening. Chase was the consummate professional as both DJ and MC. Thanks to he and his assistant, our guests didn’t want to stop dancing, even once it was time to leave.

I have hired Kramer Events for multiple company events including sound/​DJ management for structured training days as well as lighting and DJ services for fun-​filled award banquets. They are professional, personable, flexible with last minute requests, and skilled every time. Our company’s head honcho has come to request the same DJ, Bruce, as he is one of only a few that can keep up with the pace of our events. There is a difference between a good DJ and a good MC. Thankfully, DJ Bruce is BOTH. I love that they offer a variety of services so I only have to work with one or two people to have all of our needs met. Looking forward to my next opportunity to work with the Kramer Events gang soon!

Nick did a wonderful job! All of the guests had a great time dancing the night away. It was a perfect selection of music!

My husband and I were married just a day ago, and Kramer events made our day so special I am taking the time to write them a stellar review only 1 day after. I booked Kramer for day of coordination, lighting and DJ. I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing my wedding was because of their expertise.
Not being from the Paso Robles area– I was concerned that my semi destination wedding at Still Waters Vineyards may not go as planned. I booked Kramer events upon reading reviews. I was never disappointed.
Brittany, Hayley, Nic and team did an amazing job and I cannot thank them enough!

Kramer Entertainment was so fun to work with! Our wedding reception tent glowed with teal & purple with magical white bistro lights strung outside the tent. I loved what they did with the space!
Bruce was a wonderful DJ who really took our preferences on music & timing of events into play while planning our perfect reception. He was great at keeping the party going!

Kramer just provided microphones, DJ services, and photo booth for our wedding. Everything went extremely well and they completely met our expectations. Our guests had an amazing time in the photo booth and on the dance floor. Jesse was able to keep everyone out there all night. Our guests requested a song in our do not play genre and Jesse discretely asked my permission before playing it. Everyone had a great time doing a sing along…
The guests all told me that they could hear us and the string quartet we hired for the ceremony and cocktail hour well.
The only thing that wasn’t perfect was that we never spoke with them about play lists etc until I requested a meeting the Thursday before our Saturday wedding. Things still went off with out a hitch and we were very happy. This may have been a mis-​communication between our wedding planner and Kramer as well, but I wish they would have taken the initiative to contact us to set something up when they realized they did not have any playlists etc.
We would absolutely recommend them to anyone and would use them in the future if we needed a DJ as well. We would probably just communicate with them directly next time instead of through an event planner.

I was pretty pleased with my experience with Kramer for my wedding at The Madonna Inn in July.
My favorite part of the experience was their online planning website. I thought it was so great how you could go in and list all your songs for each part of your wedding, and I really enjoyed the «timeline» function that helped me to plan everything out. It was such an organized and easy process. Melissa, their coordinator, was always very nice and helpful via e-​mail. She generally replied back to me quite promptly answering any of my questions & when we told her that we couldn’t be up in the area for the «planning session» she made sure we could speak with our DJ via Skype 2 weeks before the wedding.
The reception went quite smoothly on their part. Jesse, our MC, was very friendly and helpful. I did not really have any interaction with his «helper». The girl running the photo booth was nice as well, although after I got the photo booth disk back I saw how many of the pictures SHE was in. I thought that was a little odd that she would be in so many of MY wedding pictures since she wasn’t my guest, but I guess some of the single guys were hitting on her or something & she was willing to oblige LOL.
All of their equipment and lighting seemed great to me & the flow of the evening was great. They really stuck to my timeline. The photo booth was one of the high lights of the evening, everyone LOVED it. I definitely recommend it. I think it’s a BIT expensive, but it’s definitely a crowd pleaser… they have some pretty funny props.
There were 2 reasons Kramer got a 4 instead of a 5 from me:
1. The price they wanted to charge me for ONE mic (for my officiant) for the ceremony was absolutely outrageous. They wanted $ 350 to give her a mic with a simple speaker. I thought that sucked since they were there ANYWAYS setting up for the reception. After spending almost 3 grand with them, I think that service should have been included… we didn’t even need them for any music for the ceremony, I took care of all that.
2. Towards the end of the reception the DJ started playing a lot of songs that WERE NOT on our play list. Mostly hispanic music which my husband nor I were fans of at all… in fact we really dislike that kind of music. I think some of my guests were drunk and requesting it, but Kramer’s big thing is how FIRM they are on not taking un-​wanted requests from guests that I was a little bothered he was playing that stuff when he hadn’t played all of our requested music yet. It wasn’t a huge deal, but I was a bit perturbed about it… hence the –1 star. I’m sure if I would have told him to stop he would have, but I just never made it up there.
All in all, I was pretty pleased with my experience and would probably recommend Kramer. I thought they were a bit pricey, but hey… it was a wedding, what did I expect?

We rented a photo booth through Kramer Entertainment for our wedding at Pear Valley Vineyards. We had an excellent experience with them! Melissa Kramer made it really easy to book, and the attendant, Christina, did a fantastic job running the booth and putting together the guest book. Their prices are also extremely reasonable.
The photo booth was a huge hit with our guests… it was set up in the perfect location and everyone raved about it all night. Guests loved that they could email their photos to themselves as well as take home their own copy. The costumes and props were so much fun, and we love the layout of the guest book. It can takes weeks for our professional photos, so it is wonderful that Christina had the book ready for us by the end of the night.
We truly appreciate everything Kramer Entertainment did for us all along the way. We highly recommend them if you ever need a photo booth!!!
