Dustin Ward was absolutely incredible as our wedding DJ! He made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. From the initial planning to the final dance, he kept everything running smoothly.
Dustin truly understood our vision and helped us create a memorable night for us and our guests. He was incredibly talented at reading the crowd and selecting the perfect songs to keep everyone on the dance floor. We're so grateful for his professionalism and dedication. We highly recommend Dustin to anyone looking for an exceptional DJ!
Taylor from Kramer Events was a lifesaver! She took the stress out of wedding planning and made the entire process incredibly smooth. She was always available to answer questions and provide expert advice. Taylor helped us create a beautiful and personalized event that exceeded our expectations. We're so grateful for her hard work and dedication.
The lighting design at the event was absolutely breathtaking! The dynamic interplay of light and shadow created a captivating atmosphere that elevated the entire experience. The mesmerizing dance floor lighting, in particular, was a huge hit, drawing everyone in and keeping the energy high all night long.
The photo booth was a huge hit at the wedding! Everyone had a blast striking a pose and creating unforgettable memories. It was such a great touch to receive all the photos via email afterward. A fantastic addition to the celebration!
The audio setup for our beach ceremony was absolutely flawless. The sound was crystal clear, even with the wind and outdoor environment. The team was incredibly professional and made sure every detail was taken care of, including the backup equipment. Their expertise and experience were evident in the seamless execution of the ceremony. We couldn't have been happier with the sound quality and service!

Dust...
in’s ability to read the crowd and keep the dance floor packed is one of the many reasons we’re so proud to have him on our team, and we’re delighted that his song selections helped create such a memorable night. Taylor’s dedication to making your planning process stress-free and seamless truly shines, and we’re so glad her support exceeded your expectations.
We’re especially excited to hear how much you and your guests enjoyed the lighting design, photo booth, and flawless audio for your beach ceremony.

Thank you again for trusting Kramer Events to be part of such a meaningful day. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and dancing!
Taylor was wonderful! She helped us out so much and answered any and all questions we had! Oli was fantastic as our DJ! During our first meeting he completely understood the vibes we wanted, and he did not disappoint! So many friends and family gave us compliments about how great the music was! The lighting was gorgeous!! Even prettier than I imagined! The photo booth was great! Everyone enjoyed it so much, and as a bride, I REALLY appreciate we got copies of all the pictures too!

Caitlyn & Alex, thank you so much for trusting Kramer Events!! It was truly such an honor to be a part of your wedding day! We had a blast sharing our DJ, lighting, and photo booth!!
I highly recommend Kramer Events! The professionalism was amazing from Taylor helping with all my questions and DJ Oli absolutely crushing as DJ. Taylor was so patient and helpful with all my questions. DJ Oli took his time to learn about the music taste we wanted at the wedding and executed perfectly! Our guests commented on our DJs energy and loved every second of it. Every person from the Kramer team contributed to a seamless wedding from sound to energy they were on top of it.
Response from the Vendor on 06/18/2024
Thank you so much Ivana! It was our pleasure to be a part of yours and Kyle's special day! DJ Oli is very good at keeping the energy alive all night long!
Any questions?
Kramer events was amazing to work with from start to finish! Super friendly and responsive. Our DJ was amazing, he was a great MC and listened to our music preferences while also leaving space to read the room and add in some fun unexpected songs. We also did lighting through Kramer and our reception looked amazing. The photo booth was awesome too. Every staff member we worked with was a delight. Highly recommend!
Steven was the best DJ! Book Kramer events if you want a seamless wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 10/31/2023
Kelly!! We love Steven and were honored to be a part of your special day! Hoping you and David had the best night of your lives! Cheers to many more years!!
We are very happy to have gone through Kramer Events, not only for our DJ / Emcee Steven but for the Photo Booth as well. I really appreciate what Kramer Events had to offer and liked that you could package items or pick a la carte. In addition, they were so quick to respond and helpful in the planning process. I love how the photo booth was customizable and appreciate how detailed they were with the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in regards to music. We would hire Steven in a heart beat as we loved the energy he brought. Thank you Kramer Events!

Thank you so much Alyse!! We're absolutely thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your experience with Kramer Events, and we appreciate your kind words! Cheers to you and Drew!!
Kramer Events was great to work with! They made everything so easy! AND THEY DELIVERED! Our DJ was Steven, first meeting went smoothly when we discussed our music taste (quite the variety)! Best DJ EVER!! He kept the dance floor full all night! I highly recommended. Thanks Steven you are AMAZING!!
Response from the Vendor on 05/24/2023
Alissa! You are SO sweet! We love DJ Steven - He knows how to bring the party! You were such a gem to work with! Thank you for choosing Kramer Events! It was an honor to be apart of this special day!
I absolutely love working with Kramer Events! As a Wedding Planner, it is so nice working with a vendor I can count on, who is always professional and timely. I most recently worked with Kramer for our annual holiday fundraiser; they provided lighting and DJ services. The lighting was beautiful, and Steven was great - high energy, engaging, accommodating, and kept the party going all night! :)
Response from the Vendor on 01/24/2023
And we love working with you Elyse and your team at Elyse Events!! Always top notch and your clients love you!! Thank you for bringing us on for this event! You guys nailed and it was spectacular!
Kramer Events KILLED it at my wedding! They were a referral from a family member and from the moment my in laws hired the company, they were constantly in contact with us. They were patient when it came to our busy lives and found all the song choices we wanted for the cocktail hour/guest arrival/reception. Also, all the songs that were requested by our guests were played and everyone keeps telling us how they were constantly dancing!
Beau, our MC, was fantastic! He announced every event that was about to happen, was pushing us to be on schedule, and was on top of everything. Through out the night he and his partner were checking in with us and my coordinator, to make sure everything was going good.
The only downside was that we couldn't have Beau DJ all night!
Response from the Vendor on 09/28/2022
THANK YOU ASHLEY for your incredibly kind review!!!! We are smiling from ear to ear knowing you were so happy with our DJ services! Thank you for trusting us for your wedding and choosing the Kramer Team!
Dustin was our DJ at our wedding and Renee was our coordinator. Dustin was amazing. He was so easy to work worth and was able to fulfill all our silly requests. The dance floor was filled the entire time. Literally the best night of our lives and our friends could not stop talking about how much fun they had.
Renee was our coordinator and she helped ease my stress so much. She was able to answer all the little detailed questions from other vendors or from me that were stressing me out. She made the entire wedding day run so smoothly and even went above and beyond and went out and bought us some table clothes that we had forgotten and gave us some water bottles for our guests as well. She was my saving grace the last couple months leading up to the wedding. Everyone at Kramer events were amazing and I cannot recommend them enough!
Our Dj, Dustin, and his assistant completely killed it. They kept the dance floor hot all night and were incredibly intuitive with the direction they were given. Dustin checked in to confirm things and made himself available for anything I needed for the month leading up to our wedding. I can't recommend them enough. 10/10 would recommend.
Response from the Vendor on 06/01/2022
Thank you Stephanie and Kevin!!! Our hearts are jumping for joy to read this!! This is why we LOVE what we do when we get to work with wonderful clients like you! Thank you thank you thank you!
Melissa is prompt, detailed, and knowledgeable. She was willing to offer advice, which was deeply appreciated as we did the planning ourselves without a wedding planner. Melissa was very friendly and set clear expectations for us throughout the process. Thank you, Melissa!
DUSTIN! Our DJ! We really appreciate all the time and attention to detail Dustin dedicated to prepping for the day. He is a clear communicator with a warm personality, which we really appreciated. Dustin made us feel excited about all the different elements of the event and helped alleviate any worries we had about timing or adapting on the fly. In addition to making the prep easy, Dustin was incredible on the day of the wedding. He arrived on-time with plenty of time to setup, and things kept moving smoothly throughout the afternoon and evening. Dustin is extremely skilled in reading the room, hyping up a crowd, and creating fluid transitions even when plans change. We were just so happy to have him there. Thank you, Dustin!
Response from the Vendor on 04/08/2022
Thank you Kate! This makes our day for sure!!!! We are beyond happy that YOU were happy with our team! We were so lucky to be apart of your wedding day!! THANK YOU!!
We are so happy with our decision to work with Kramer Events! Everyone is super friendly and helpful, and we felt taken care of the whole time. Melissa was so awesome and helpful throughout the planning and rescheduling of our wedding, and was always willing to answer our questions. We definitely felt like our wedding was important to the whole team which gave us a lot of confidence! Our DJ was Dustin and he was so great! From the initial meeting to the day of the wedding, he was super friendly, fun, and made us feel confident that he had everything handled. He also walked us through the whole day so we knew how everything would work which we found super helpful. We knew we could count on him to keep everything running well and on time, and everything went so smoothly on our wedding day. The music was great and everyone enjoyed dancing to it as he played a nice mix of music for everyone, and the sound quality of the ceremony and all music was great! We really enjoyed working with Kramer Events, Dustin and our DJ assistant. If you want a team that will put effort and care into your wedding day, you should choose Kramer Events. Thank you Kramer Events!!

Happy New Year Sam and Kevin!!! Thank you so much for kicking 2022 off for us with the most heartfelt review!!! WOW! We are so touched and happy that you were happy with the service we provided you! Dustin and the rest of the Kramer Team sends...
their huge thanks!!
We could not have been happier choosing Kramer Events for our wedding! Glen was our DJ, and he brought so much laughter and fun to the wedding day, and made our whole wedding party so comfortable, while crushing the music & all the transitions that make a wedding flow naturally. He truly made the job look easy - while also getting everyone on the dance floor! Throughout the two years planning our wedding, including a postponed date due to COVID, Kramer and Melissa were so easy to work with and I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to choose this amazing team for your special event. Truly the best at what they do, thank you Glen & the Kramer Events team for everything, highly recommend!

Katie and Anthony!!! First of all, just know that we were over the moon excited for you guys when your wedding day came around after ALL you've been thru and the thought and energy you put into the details of your wedding. It was an absolute p...
leasure working with you both over the last 2 years! I'm going to miss your emails and positive energy that I felt every time I read them! Thank you for sticking with us and trusting our team for your wedding!!!
Unfortunately didn't get to have our wedding day celebration last year due to government orders of no public gatherings. Kraemer Events did not offer to refund ANY of our deposit from the very beginning of us having to postpone our special day. We understand the challenges happening due to the pandemic, however, taking soon to be newly weds thousands of dollars with no ability to provide services is just unethical.
Response from the Vendor on 05/03/2021
Hi Danika,
We are so bummed out for you and our other couples that didn't get to have their dream wedding due to the very inconvenient and unprecedented pandemic.
I know that wasn't an easy decision to make especially after you had already po...
stponed your wedding with us from last year to this year and ultimately decided to cancel. There was no cancellation fee, we simply allowed you to walk away from the contract you had signed with us that states booking fees are non refundable.
We feel we gave you an awesome customer experience before the pandemic hit and leading up to by allowing you to postpone without any fees and/or paying a new booking fee to secure your new date. Had we been forced to cancel on you, we of course would have refunded your booking fee, the only payment you had made. However this was your decision you had to make based on a lot of factors that we know was an emotional rollercoaster. We get that.
As a small business owner, we were on the brink of closing our doors and letting our team go in the midst of this pandemic. Booking fees, retainers, deposits or whatever you want to call them are literally the lifeline for the wedding and private events industry. They allow us to turn down other business on a date that was already reserved and guaranteed for you and our other clients amongst many other things.
Even though our last correspondence was back in January, I appreciate you taking the time now to let us know how we made you feel. I hope that through all this we all have learned the value of working together and understanding one another in order get through this craziness together.
We wish you and Matthew a wonderful marriage and a happy life together.
Kramer made our wedding-planning for lighting and DJ seamless, and their online portal was easy to use and a true blessing for an out-of-town bride. Melissa was able to set us up with a really wonderful lighting package and was friendly and sent photos and details in response to my many questions, and the end result blended seamlessly with the venue and created exactly the look I was hoping for.
Our DJ from Kramer was Glen, and he was an absolute joy to work with. He went out of his way to meet us at a cafe and finalize the many music- and schedule-related details that we had overlooked, and he even came in-person to the Rehearsal to join us and meet the wedding party, even though he did not need to. At the wedding and reception, he moved expertly through a wide variety of challenges that we threw at him, including a wide variety of musical and dance styles and aggressive requests and opinions. It was an unmitigated joy to work with Glen, and we hope to remain friends and see him again in the future.

Response from the Vendor on 11/04/2019
Congrats Jodi & Matt! And a big thank you for this review! We are thrilled that we got to work with you guys! You both are so fun! Come back and visit again soon!!
I worked with Nick M (DJ) and Alex B (photo booth attendant) and they were both the best! Nick got the crowd up and dancing, and danced a lot himself. And Alex made sure all the guests came by the photo booth. It was an incredible evening and these guys really helped out!
Response from the Vendor on 11/04/2019
Awww thanks Alex & Grant for this awesome and fun review! Nick and Alex really appreciate your positive feedback. We are truly happy you had a great wedding experience with our team!
Dustin Ward and his team from Kramer Events are absolutely amazing, professional, fun, and made our wedding day absolutely perfect. We couldn’t have asked for anything more! They handled everything, from setting up, to Emceeing the evening, and DJing for an awesome night of dancing. We are so happy we picked Kramer Events! Highly recommend.
Response from the Vendor on 11/04/2019
Thank you so much for writing a great review about DJ Dustin and team!! We are so happy you were happy! Thank you again for choosing Kramer Events for your wedding!
Very professional, gave us exactly what we wanted. Everyone loved the music, our DJ did an amazing job.

Thanks a bunch Randalyn for posting a review about your experience working with us!!
Miles was our DJ and he did an AMAZING job! He was on top of the timeline and the music was probably the best part about our wedding, besides the actual act of getting married of course lol!! I highly recommend hiring Kramer Events for DJ AND photo booth, you will not be disappointed!
Response from the Vendor on 05/22/2019
Vanessa!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to post a review about your experience working with DJ Miles and team! We are so pleased to hear that you and Mark were happy with everything.
I could not have asked for better DJ/MC services from kramer events! They literally KILLED IT!!! Great communication, great presence and amazing DJing. Dustin was our DJ and he did SUCH an amazing job. We were beyond thrilled, everything at our wedding went completely perfect. Not one hiccup! Dustin listened to everything we said, he was quick to respond when we needed him, and he got the crowd really going. He’s also just a really awesome person. Very on top of everything, both before the wedding and during. We were so greatful to have him, and we wish we could do it all again!! I would 100% use Kramer events again and I would use more of there services!
Response from the Vendor on 04/04/2019
Thank you so much Jaquelyne and Emeka!!! Your review means the world to us!!!
Kramer events was awesome!
We used them for our DJ which was perfect. The dance floor was full all night long. Their website was easy to use and they followed our requests.
We also used their photobooth service which was so fun. We got our book of photos immediately at the end of the night.
Coordination through Kramer was also great. We chose month of and am so glad we did. I don't think we would have been able to enjoy the day as we did without our coordinator. I'd highly recommend Kramer Events.
Response from the Vendor on 03/02/2019
Thank you so much Mayra for taking the time to post this awesome review! We are so happy you were happy with our services! Congrats to you and Sheppard!
Kramer Events is fantastic! Total one-stop-shop. Melissa is awesome and an absolute genius when it comes to lighting and because of our DJ/MC, Dustin, our friends and family will be talking about our wedding for years to come. Dustin was so friendly, relaxed and totally "on-it" throughout the whole process and absolutely nailed it on our wedding day! We decided to have a football game on for the first hour of the reception (AFC Championship game!) and Dustin totally rolled with it and made the inside of our venue feel like our living room at home - which is exactly what we wanted. Once the game was over, the party started and wow, what a party! Definitely recommend them for any event, especially weddings.
Response from the Vendor on 01/28/2019
Wow Terri! That is so awesome! I officially think you've inspired other couples to have their wedding include a football game on in the background! The grooms thank you ;-)
We had Kramer for videography, dj, and photobooth, and they were fantastic. They made everything so easy for us! The videos we got back have been moving our moms and close friends to tears, and the music was absolutely on point! Our DJ, Chandler, did a great job of reading the room to make adjustments to music as needed throughout the day!
My husband and I contacted Kramer because they were an approved vendor for our wedding and they, by far, exceeded our expectations. They've got everything we were looking for! Photography, DJ, lighting and I'm sure I'm forgetting somethings- we didn't have to call multiple vendors for our wedding- one call and done. SUPER CONVENIENT! The DJ, Lou was in constant communication with me, making sure i got what i paid for & more. The photographer was awesome, he called week of to do a run through, making sure he knew where the boys and ladies were. He made me laugh, which was great for all of the photos. OMG the photos came our GORGEOUS! I didn't even know they were there during the ceremony. The lighting was perfect, not too dim and not too bright, they definitely knew what they were doing. Kramer is even putting together our photo album, which is amazing because I would love to put that together, but I know I never would. I would rebook Kramer if i had to do it all over again and i would definitely recommend this vendor!
Response from the Vendor on 12/04/2018
Thank you again Meggan & Jeff for spreading the love about the experience you got from your Kramer Events team!!! At the end of another wonderful yet busy wedding season, we can't thank you enough for warming our hearts and putting huge smiles ...
on our faces!! It was such a pleasure working with you guys! Happy Holidays and enjoy your first Christmas together as husband and wife!
One of the biggest decisions you will make when planning your wedding is deciding on an events company or individual photographers, DJs, coordinators, etc. Take it from this 64-year-old bride and stop your search right now and book Kramer Events. It was the first decision I made, and definitely one of the best.
What you will get with Kramer is a first-rate team of consummate professionals – management, MC/DJ, Photographers, Coordinators, and Videographers – all of whom have worked together so often that they are in sync and come together to pull off a memorable event. Each and every member of my “A” Team was truly the best in the business, and I know this because of one thing that they all did: LISTEN. They all took the time to really get to know us and hear what we wanted. Then, they fashioned a day that not only incorporated all of our needs, but also added the professional touches that they knew would enhance our vision.
MELISSA the owner, responded promptly to every phone call or email (and, since we live four hours away, there were plenty of both). When my first venue fell through, she kept me calm and helped me decide on what turned out to be THE perfect venue. She is patient, professional, adorable, and really cares about her clients. She NEVER tried to upsell or add options that we didn’t want. LOU, our MC/DJ was a Super Bowl MVP Quarterback who wove our story, our songs, and our lives perfectly from start to finish. He was engaging, sweet, hilarious, and just downright fun. There was never a lull in the music or on the dance floor. He knew how to read the room and make the adjustments that got everyone up on their feet. Our guests are still talking about what a great evening it was, and Lou is being singled out as the facilitator of all that. BRI our day-of coordinator, was human aromatherapy – she was a lifeboat of calm in a sea of crazy. She kept me (relatively) sane and communicated expertly (and, it seemed, effortlessly) with both the venue and the other Kramer crew members to bring our vision (and some surprises I had for my groom) to fruition. She and Lou also had a very emotional and wonderful surprise for me, and I was so touched that (again, after listening to our story) gave me yet another memorable, and completely unexpected moment. JUSTIN and KATIE, our photographers, are artistic geniuses and two of the best humans I’ve ever met. They, too, wanted us and our guests to have our perfect day, not just because it was their job to do so, but because we felt that they were truly invested in our happiness. We received our “teaser” photos just a few days later, and they are incredible. Yes, they even made two senior citizens look youthful and glowing! JACK and JEREMY were our videographers, and we know that they, too, will give us images that we, and our families, will treasure forever.
If you want a wedding that will be better than anything you can imagine or dream of, start right here with Kramer Events.
Response from the Vendor on 09/12/2018
Laurie and Hugh - THANK YOU!! We are so speechless and overjoyed by this review. It means more than you know to us and we feel like the lucky ones having such great clients and an amazing couple to work with!!! We love you guys!!!!
Do yourself a favor, HIRE KRAMER EVENTS!!! It is truly the best decision that I made when coming to book my destination wedding. Being that I live 5 hours from SLO, it takes a lot of trust and good faith to hire wedding vendors. From the moment my husband and I entered Kramer Events, I knew I was in good hands. Melissa was the most kind and genuine person, and I knew that I could put our wedding in her team's hands. Every step of the way, Melissa Kramer was there for whatever question I had or whatever I needed. She truly is a wonderful person. I booked Kramer for coordination, DJ, Videography, Lighting, and photography...Here are my individual reviews on each service:
DJ Lou Mars was absolutely phenomenal. He kept the party going, and paid attention to every detail I shared with him during our consultation. DJ Lou made all of my guests feel comfortable by taking requests, playing the appropriate ones, and remembering guests names and acknowledging them. DJ Lou was fantastic, and if I need a DJ again I would hire him in a heartbeat.
The uplighting made the venue SO beautiful! I am soooooo happy Melissa talked us into adding lighting. It truly made the room so exquisite, and fully carried out the mood we were trying to achieve. The lighting also looks amazing in all of our photos, and I am so glad we chose to take Melissa's word for it, and add the lighting package. It was flawless!
As a coordinator, Renee is hands-down, EVERYTHING!!! I love her sooooo much! Renee took amazing care of us with her calm and happy demeanor, and truly made us feel like she had everything handled. There was not one thing wrong on my wedding day and I know that is because Renee was behind the scenes carrying out every one of my ideas. From the first time I met Renee, I knew I would be taken care of and she did not disappoint. Renee was kind to all of my guests, kept everything running smoothly, and showed that she really cared about myself, my husband, and my step-kids. I know that Renee and I will always keep in contact, it really was an instant friendship. She is unbelievable, and I am so grateful for her!
Justin Jacobs and Nawal were wonderful!!! They made myself, my husband, and my step-kids feel very comfortable all day. They had huge smiles on their faces the whole evening, and truly seemed as if they had joined the party. To top it all off we were pleasantly surprised with around 50 teaser photos LESS THAN 24 HRS AFTER THE WEDDING! Then received ALL of our photos 4 DAYS after the wedding. We were floored. This is unbelievable service, and the photos are SO intensely beautiful, I have no idea how we will ever pick photos to print, hang, etc. Thank so much for your hard work, it is so beautiful and truly appreciated.
Jack kindly agreed to film only my ceremony, which is not usually a package offered. Being that I only wanted the ceremony filmed, it was so kind for Jack to do this for us. He was very nice when we spoke, and even brought his drone to further make the video even that much cooler! We cannot wait to see what he comes up with!
Thank you Kramer Events team, we are so grateful for all that you did for our magical wedding day, it was truly perfect!
Response from the Vendor on 09/12/2018
Holy Moly!!! You know how to make us feel all the good feels!!! It makes us beyond happy that you and Scott loved the experience you received from your Kramer Team!!! You both were SO FUN to work with and thank you for being amazing clients and...
now friends of Kramer!!!
If you a looking for a stress-free vendor experience Kramer is it! We live about 4 hours from San Louis Obispo which added an extra hurdle to planning our wedding. Kramer made it easy because our DJ, photographer, videographer, photo booth, and lighting was all coordinated through on company. I had a million questions prior to the wedding and they answered them all, and never pushed me towards a more expensive option. On the day of the wedding everyone who worked for Kramer performed their jobs exceptionally, and anytime my guests mentioned them it was about how kind and fun they were.
DJ Lou, is amazing! If you want your guests to have fun and your reception to be a PARTY Lou is your man.
Response from the Vendor on 05/10/2018
Thank you Megan & Ross for this review! We are so humbled and grateful!! It was so fun working with you guys! So happy to hear you were very pleased with the services we provided you!!
If I could give 10 stars I would! Nick was an amazing DJ. He was funny, energetic, and we had the BEST dance party.!! Everything was well planned out and super professional. I'd also like to mention how fun the DJ planning meeting was. The Kramer team, and especially Nick has the best vibe and it showed throughout the evening. Thank you so much for helping to make my wedding dreams come true!!!
Response from the Vendor on 05/02/2018
We love to hear that you had the BEST dance party with DJ Nick and that you were happy with the level of service that Nick and our team provided for your wedding! Thank you for allowing The Kramer Team be apart of your big day!!
I cannot recommend Kramer Events highly enough. Our experience from top to bottom was beyond amazing. Not only were they so incredibly thorough in striving to achieve our perfect day/wedding, but we really felt they cared about how everything was executed and that we got exactly what we wanted out of their services. Janine Bach killed it as our DJ. She asked us a lot of questions to really determine our music style, and she nailed it! Many of our guests came up to us asking for our playlist, but truly she created it through listening to us and what we wanted. She helped make our wedding truly fun for everyone and all generations. We also used them for planning services, and we are SO GRATEFUL we did. Tracy Costa is a present from heaven. She was more than a planner throughout our experience but really treated us as friends, through even some really challenging situations very close to our wedding date. It was obvious she treated the execution of our wedding as if she were planning her own and helped make the day stunning and perfect. In every situation, even when I was getting stressed, she talked to me calmly with a smile and just got things done! Every person we came into contact with at this company deserves 5 stars. We know our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was without their incredible team, and we really want the wedding world to know, they are the BEST! These 2 ladies specifically though would be highly advised to be request for your wedding. You will be happy you have them!
Started out booking just lighting, which was very nice and added a lot of atmosphere to the venue. Then added the DJ/MC service. Beau was a great MC and everyone enjoyed dancing up a storm through the evening. Kramer Events worked with a long-distance bride and groom and made it easy for them to determine the reception timeline and musical schedule!

Thank you so much Rose, Abby & Sean for having be apart of your beautiful wedding day!!
Kramer events is amazing! They were able to answer all my questions and were able to help at the drop of a hat! Lou Mars our DJ for our wedding was amazing! During our meeting/planning talk he was so excited and upbeat about our wedding and was able to get our vision for our wedding perfectly! The music he chose for our wedding was amazing and before I could even request a song he was already playing it! Couldn't have asked for any better ❤️ Thank you all for making our day perfect! ❤️

THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING US!! You made Lou's Day!! What nice compliments! So happy you were pleased with our DJ services!
I was going to wait until after my wedding to write a review for Kramer, but felt I would be doing anyone looking for event services in the Central Coast now a disservice by not posting this earlier. Kramer is the best of the best. I emailed Melissa initially just to inquire about a photo booth rental. Lucky for me, she introduced me to everything they offered! Our event is a month out still, but having Kramer has made the planning process a dream come true! From our photographer, Patrick Ibarra, to our month of wedding coordinator, Kirstin, to our DJ, Nick, everyone at Kramer is top notch! When we went for our meeting this week, they went above and beyond by having our engagement photos displayed as well as our venue. I feel like I should be more stressed out about my wedding the month of but Kramer has taken all of the stress out of it! We've also booked our lighting and videographer through them and I have absolutely no doubts everything is going to be amazing! It's so nice having a one stop shop for everything wedding and I highly recommend Melissa and Co!

Oh my goodness Emily!!! Our hearts over here at Kramer Events are so full of gratitude! I'm beyond appreciative that you would take the time to leave us such an amazing review BEFORE your wedding!! It has been an absolute pleasure working with ...
you and we cannot wait until your wedding day! You have an amazing Kramer wedding team and I know we'll all be bummed once your wedding is over. But man, we cannot wait to see your wedding photos! They are going to be gorgeous!! Lots of Love - Melissa and your Kramer Events Team!
We used Kramer Events for our wedding on the 19th of last month. We used their DJ and lighting services and everything went off without a hitch! Lou was our DJ and he was amazing!! Everyone had a great time and danced the night away!! We would recommend Kramer to anyone!! :)
I used Kramer Events for my wedding one month ago and they did an amazing job! I used their lighting, sound and DJ services, and photo booth. Miles was our DJ and he did SUCH an amazing job - nobody wanted to leave the dance floor! He was perfect. The lighting and sound went off without a hitch as well and it was so easy speaking to Melissa Kramer throughout the entire process when I had any questions. Same goes with the photo booth - the woman working the photo booth was very attentive and even made a cute book for us with a copy of each film strip and some comments from the people in the photo.
Kramer did a wonderful job with all of our wedding needs. We used there DJ, photo booth and up lighting services and were super pleased with everything.
I have to give a shout out to Lou Mars who put in the extra effort to make our day run and sound amazing. We had a pianist, a singer, two locations and a live band and he made it all work without a hitch. Plus, at the reception he was enjoying the party as much as we were. He joined us in a few dances and passed around the mic to give us a mini karaoke session (we are all theatre people and it made our night).
Thank you to Melissa, Lou and the rest of the Kramer team for all of your hard work and dedication! You guys rock!
So glad we booked with Kramer Events! Melissa was very helpful! We got our DJ and photobooth from Kramer. Miles was our DJ and he was absolutely amazing! During our initial meeting he totally understood what we wanted as far as music and had great suggestions for the timeline throughout the night. He did such a great job MCing and definitely kept the energy up during the reception. Everyone was talking about how great the music was and how well it all flowed! I would highly recommend requesting Miles to be your DJ for any event!
Miles was wonderful. He introduced everyone perfectly, kept us on schedule, adjusted the schedule based on how much fun the crowd was having dancing and played all of the music we asked for (from country to Spanish guitar to 80s to hip hop). Amazing! All of our guests had a blast, and we did to! If we ever need a DJ on the central coast again, he is the man!
Tanner was such a great help! He made sure everyone got the mic at the right time, released people to get food, and made sure all of the equipment and lighting was working beautifully! They even dimmed the lights when open dancing started. He was so professional and sweet, and we are so glad he was a part of our wedding!
Justin was absolutely amazing! Our guests really enjoyed the photo booth, and he made sure most of the pictures made it into the guest book. We will truly cherish these memories forever! The photo booth worked perfectly the entire night thanks to Justin!
We used Kramer Events for their wedding coordination, DJ, and photobooth services, and were very happy overall. For the wedding coordinator, we worked with Bri using the day-of (really month-of) package and could not have been happier. As we ran up to the big day, Bri communicated with us very clearly, and always got back to us within a couple of days by email (and almost immediately by text). She listed to all of our ideas for the the layouts, schedule, etc. and also gave us suggestions on how to make things run more smoothly based on her experience. On the day of the wedding, she executed flawlessly! Everything looked exactly how I had hoped it would and she coordinated with all of our vendors to make sure that everything went off without a hitch. For the few small issues that did come up, she handled everything so that my husband and I could enjoy ourselves and not worry about anything. She truly took all of the stress out of the big day so I could just spend time with my friends, family and new husband!
We worked with Lou as our DJ, and found that he was very professional and experienced. Before the wedding, we had a Facetime call with him (we were coming from out of town) where he ran through the whole schedule and helped us select our songs. On the day of the wedding, Lou played the perfect mix of music to keep our dancefloor packed all evening. The one problem we had was that the wrong version of our first dance song was played by mistake. However, when I addressed the issue after the wedding, Melissa (the owner of Kramer) apologized and investigated immediately. Although I wish the right version had been played, small mistakes always happen at big events and Kramer handled the situation professionally. Aside from that one hiccup, Lou did an amazing job helping things to run on time and making sure that everybody enjoyed themselves.
Overall, Kramer offered wonderful service at an affordable price and I would highly recommend using their services.
Amazing! We booked a majority of our wedding essentials through Kramer and it was the best decision we. Old have made. The DJ, Ian, was amazing (especially when he kept the song I walked down the aisle to a secret since my now husband didn't know what it was going to be). Our guests were dancing the entire night and our wedding flowed extremely well. I would recommend Kramer to everyone!
Working with Kramer was wonderful! They are excellent communicators and their website is so easy to use for song selections and building your wedding sound track! Jose was an excellent DJ/MC. He kept everyone dancing, playing all the classic party songs! We even had a guest tell us he wanted to take a break at one point but Jose kept playing really good songs, and he just couldn't stop dancing!
Our guests also had a great time with the photo booth! They filled the whole guest book!
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!!
Kramer Events was the first and only DJ we visited. They have you set an appointment up in the beginning to go over budget and planning. We were on a tight budget and the DJs are one of the most expensive vendors, along with the caterers. Yes, it was expensive, but it was worth the price. I figured the music is one of the most important things on the wedding day and having a fun DJ that knows his music well and will keep people on the dance floor all night is the one thing that will make your wedding memorable. Having a talented DJ should be on the top of your list! Anyhow, there is an online program that the bride and groom use through out planning that helps you organize everything from the beginning to the end of the big day. On the online program there are samples of songs for each dance, cake cutting, ceremony and so on. When your big day is almost near, you set an appointment up with DJ and go over all the details and listen to each song that your bride and yourself have chosen. Our Dj was Jose and he was awesome! He has a fun, optimistic attitude and he gives his opinion on everything, while staying honest and fair. The wedding day turned out amazing. He did great work and there was never a moment where the dance floor was empty! I would highly recommend DJ Kramer Events and ask for Jose. He is awesome with his work and will make your day complete.
Our guests enjoyed the music the DJ played and they have a great pre-planning system that helps with organization and communication. We hired this company for DJ and day-of coordination and felt they did a good job handling many details in a professional manner.
We had Jose as our DJ and MC from Kramer Events for our wedding in late June. From the first meeting where we sat down to discuss scheduling and the music selections, he made us feel at ease and made sure that he really understood what kind of atmosphere we wanted at our wedding (fun & upbeat!)
On the day of the wedding, He was SO MUCH FUN and kept the party going with music that was approachable to all generations present at our wedding. We absolutely loved working with him, and will remember our reception and the amazing amount of fun that we had with our family and friends forever!
Bonus: Since we had our wedding on a Sunday, our photo booth was complimentary!
Thank you Kramer Events & Jose!
we used this rental company for a variety of things: lighting, rentals and photo booth. The wedding was at Cass Winery and it was a flawless production. They did a great job of not asking questions on the big day, and allowing it to be a big reveal as I walked into the reception. They are the sweetest people to work with and allowed all size questions to be welcomed. They are truly a dream to work with and I'd do it again! Thanks Kramer team!
How do I begin to describe how awesome the Kramer team is? Well here it goes...
We planned a destination wedding in Paso Robles so we needed a team of professionals we could trust to make our day run smoothly. Our Kramer team did just that and so much more.
Melissa Kramer was friendly and had such great recommendations to enhance our venue with uplighting & our names projected on the wall. She always handled every question with a smile and a good idea! We also had a photo booth that the guests loved and our attendant was warm and friendly (thanks Kelsey!)
Colleen Gregory, my DOC extraordinaire, is a top notch coordinator. She immediately put my mind at ease with her calm, professional manner and her organization skills. Colleen was always 2 steps ahead of me, was a great listener, and immediately responded to my email.
She managed my vendors like a true pro & my wedding event was flawless. Everything was exactly what I envisioned and she even went above and beyond to ensure my ceremony space and reception area was perfect.
Jose Guzman, my MC/DJ, is one talented professional. Jose listened to our needs, put up with my crazy long pre ceremony music list, and put together the perfect plan for our reception. The timing of the ceremony music was spot on, his MC skills at the reception helped keep us on track AND the music was so great that he kept the dancing & energy level going.
My wedding guests are still commenting about our wonderful wedding and we thank Kramer Events again and again for all that you did to make our wedding an amazing event for all!
Kramer handled our photobooth, lighting, and DJ. They did a great job with everything.
The photobooth was a big hit, and we love that our guestbook is photographs of our friends and families having fun! One tip though, make sure you arrange with your family to take photos together! We forgot to do that. The lighting was gorgeous and really made everything look magical in the evening. If you get married at Cass, the Bistro Lights are just so so pretty in the trees, and the chandelier is beautiful above the dance floor. Don't be skeptical like us about lighting! It really is worth it. The DJ was great, he rolled with the punches when we realized I had forgotten the garters at home and had to cut out that portion. They have a wonderful system to keep track of all the song choices, and are really a great company.
Loved working with Melissa Kramer from start to finish. Once you book with Kramer, they set you up with an online planning tool that allows you to create Playlists, Do Not Play lists, Timeline of the day, and the special songs of the reception. I loved that there was a DJ and Host at the reception so one person was focused on the music and playlist and one was focused on the announcements. The night flowed perfectly and I was so comfortable letting them take control of the playlist. My guests danced the night away!
Melissa at Kramer Events was very helpful and informative, very organized, dependable, and punctual. The DJ and assistant (Matt and ? - sorry, can't recall her name) were GREAT, can't say enough about them or this vendor. They kept things rolling at the wedding and reception, but were patient and not pushy or controlling. The music was great, too. We would HIGHLY recommend Kramer!
Awesome!
Everything was beyond perfect!! Awesome company!
I found Kramer Events online since I was planning a destination wedding and was not familiar with DJ services in the area. We used them for ceremony and reception music. I can't even begin to explain how amazing they were! Our DJ, Darren, was fantastic and was totally on page with what we were looking for. Beau and Melissa Kramer are exceptional people to work with and I highly recommend them for your wedding or event!
Bruce (MC from Kramer) was fantastic. We didn't have a wedding coordinator. Bruce kept everything on track and kept us on our tight timeline. The music was great. There were always plenty of guests on the dance floor. We have received nothing but positive feedback from our guests. Everyone had a blast.
All of our dealings with Kramer were fantastic. Kramer was by far our favorite vendor. There was never any stress and they were so professional. We never had to worry about the DJ.
We found the website to be very helpful with picking songs for each part of the ceremony and service. It was great to have suggestions and the ability to listen to a sample of each song. It was so nice to have someone (Bruce) who clearly knew what he was doing and executed everything flawlessly.
Kramer has our highest recommendation.
Seriously don't even consider another company just choose Kramer because you won't regret it!! I was so excited to have Kramer Events dj our wedding on 9/22/12. Melissa is awesome to work with and is soo timely in responding back to clients. We utilized Kramer to do the music for our ceremony and reception as well as some uplighting in our reception area. They are so professional and helped things run so smoothly. We had Jessica as our MC and she was amazing! After I left my design session with Jessica I had nothing but pure excitement for my wedding because I just knew it was going to be a good time. She completely got the vision we wanted in regards to our music selection. I had told her I wanted a "Classic Rock Cocktail Hour" and aside from mentioning a few must-have songs, the rest of the selection was all her and it was awesome. Even my stepbrother who is a DJ complimented how good the cocktail hour music was. Thank you Kramer for everything and Thank you Jessica for being an awesome MC!! Jenn & Vinny
Our wedding was everything we could have imagined it to be and better. Our guest thoroughly enjoyed themselves and are still raving about our DJ services and the music! Perfect!
This company was the most professional DJ/Event service I have worked with. Melissa was always on top of her game, setting everything up and always returned my phone calls in a timely fashioned. When it came time to get our dance moves on for the wedding, we could not have been happier with Bruce and all the other people from Kramer. Bruce (Our DJ) was an absolute joy to work with and the photo booth was a big hit at the wedding. I would hands down recommend this company to anyone!
These people are amazing. Melissa is so friendly and helpful. They did the DJ, Photo Booth and some lighting for me. They were amazing, organized and help the day run very smooth. In addition they are really honest and I didn't feel like they just wanted my money. I talked about lighting and they told me with the time of day and location of my wedding in June that lighting would only be really good for the last hour of my wedding once it got really dark. This is something I didn't think of since I was booking in December for my June weding. I wasn't thinking it doesn't get dark until 9:00 in June.
Kramer provided great service. Melissa, the wife of the owner, is extremely responsive and so nice to work with throughout the planning process. The day of, the DJs did a good job and totally incorporated all of our requests and preferences. The only 2 negatives of the day were that the DJ announced to start toasts and champagne hadn't been poured yet so we obviously couldn't do toasts yet and he played the wrong version of the song we had picked for communion during the ceremony. Neither of those were a huge deal, but things I definitely noticed. Other than those two things the day went smoothly and I was really happy with their service.
Both DJs were great and had everyone dancing.
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!!!
Kramer was perfect! We were able to hand pick every song that was played and the DJ served as the narrator for the ceremony and reception so everything was on schedule and flowed smoothly!
Kramer Entertainment was amazing!!! We had Kaitlyn and Darren for our wedding DJ's and they did such a great job! The dance floor was hopping the whole night! They are a bit pricey, but well worth it!
I HIGHLY recommend Kramer DJ's. They were extremely easy to communicate with. They were extremely helpful, kind, and patient.
In addition to all that, they have an online database where you can go on and select songs for your wedding. It was super handy and convenient to have this throughout the planning process.
At the actual wedding we had Kaitlyn and Eli as our DJ's. They were perfect. They were super friendly and helpful. They didn't "take over" the wedding at all, which was one of my biggest concerns in finding a DJ. I hate weddings when the DJ acts like it's his "show." Kaitlyn and Eli were awesome, and were great at the points that needed announcing, but did a wonderful job blending in, which was exactly what we were looking for. They were also very fun and spunky!
I was extremely pleased with Kramer DJ's, and I HIGHLY recommend using them!
After all the conversations, taking the time to fill out their online forms, and the follow-up meeting, I really expected the ceremony and reception music to flow and run smoothly. Unfortunately, even though they played the songs we chose for the ceremony, they didn't fade them in and out well. They just stopped the music abruptly. AND during our reception, they didn't tell us when a song we chose was unavailable, thus my father-daughter dance was to the WRONG song. Finally, they seemed to play songs that were currently trendy versus playing the songs we requested. They played some of the songs we wanted, but also many we never indicated. After all the hype they gave us about their abilities initially, we were very disappointed.
We used Kramer for our DJ and lighting and they exceeded our expectations on both fronts. Perry, our DJ, was so easy to work with...listened closely to what we wanted and more than delivered. He did an amazing job of keeping the party going from start to finish and did it with essentially no "DJ chatter." The lighting was also very professionally done and added such an amazing ambiance to the reception.
They played the exact songs we asked and got the overall feel for what we were looking for. Not only did we think they were great, but many of our guests have said they were the best DJ's at a wedding. Even the music during the dinner hour was fun and keep the mood happy and fun.
We are a young couple in our late twenties and so are most of our friends so we wanted a DJ who could make it a fun party for them. At the same time though, we had some parents who wanted some Mowtown stuff and some other random songs. Kramer was able to deliver on both fronts. Everyone had a great time and the DJ they matched us with (Perry) was especially great. We enjoyed that the DJs kept the talking to an absolute minimum, only to announce what was happening next "Ok everyone we need all the single ladies on the dance floor!" which was great. They also were able to play any song we wanted, so some obscure stuff that couldn't be bought online they happily made a copy from our cds and other stuff they got a hold of. They also have a great online playlist that you can choose your songs. Bottom line is that the guests had a great time and the DJ was great. Highly recommended!
There are no words to describe the service Kramer Entertainment provided to my husband and me on our big day. The whole process with them was easy and extremely helpful. They are generous people who want to make your day as wonderful as you do and will do anything they can to help. It is like they are as excited about your day as you are. Melissa Kramer is a dream to work with and Ryan Reyes was the best DJ & MC ever! Book Kramer and you wont be sorry!
They made the whole day & night so much fun, all our guests had a blast. They were super easy to work with!
Perry did such a great job reading the crowd and orchestrating all that went on that evening! Everyone had such a great time dancing the night away! Kudos!!
Kramer DJ did a fantastic job at my wedding. Through all the planning they were fabulous. They have an online "client area" where you log-on, and make all your selections as far as music you must have played (or do NOT want played), there is a whole section for the timeline of the wedding day, down to 5 minute increments! They set up a meeting with me a week before the wedding to iron out any details or questions, which I hardly had any since their online site was very helpful.
The wedding day went smoothly, they were my MCs for the ceremony and reception. The music choices were played perfectly and the sound was crisp and clear. They provided a wireless lapel mic for the minister which was very helpful as it was outdoors. They played perfectly chosen music during cocktail hour and dinner, and ran the dance floor well. My guests were very happy with the music, as was I. They approached me a couple times during the night for my input as to when I wanted to cut the cake, and things like that. They were quite professional and helpful.
