At Kramer Events, we highly prioritize regular team hangouts in which our team can get together and simply have fun. Each month we try to do something a little different and this month we had a great idea that put our team’s creativity and collaboration to use. We have been innovating our photo booth department for some time now and one of the key changes we have made is replacing our old Classic photo booth with a new and improved model.
Fellow wedding industry,
A well-anticipated company party can serve as a great tool in keeping spirits and productivity high during the busy seasons of the year. We all know the feeling of overwhelm that can often come from working hard to achieve the results needed to move a company forward, but when you know you have something great to look forward to, it helps you stay motivated and achieve your goals. Raising the bar in the Central Coast Events Industry is no easy feat, and the Kramer Team works incredibly hard at this. I know that after a busy season of helping our clients celebrate their lives in the biggest ways possible, our team has earned that big party in which we get the chance to let loose and celebrate life with one another.
It’s very common for the various divisions of a company to become somewhat distant from one another during the busy seasons of the year because they are on separate tracks, working hard to excel in their craft. A company party is a perfect opportunity for new friendships to form amongst people in your organization who don’t regularly get the opportunity to connect. At Kramer Events, we have many specialized divisions – DJ, Lighting, Coordination, and Photo Booth – but it is essential to our company culture that the team synergy remain strong, and this involves all members of the team being able to interact and work well with one another. Having the ability to socialize with your coworkers in a non-work setting can really solidify the bonds that will move your company to the next level in the upcoming year.
This is possibly the most beneficial aspect of throwing an annual company party because it gives you the perfect opportunity to celebrate the amazing team of people that are the backbone of the company. Here we can showcase our great successes and find humor and learning opportunities in our failures. We can acknowledge individual employees or divisions as a whole for their hard work and perseverance and present awards to those who have earned them. As the CEO/Team Leader of a company, it is vital to give back to your employees and acknowledge all their hard work and achievement so they feel proud to be a part of the vision you’re all working towards. It also gets everyone pumped up for the next year to come and motivates everyone to raise the bar even higher.
Regardless of your industry or the scale of your company, an annual celebration for your team can be a key component in the overall success of the business by keeping motivation up, strengthening ties amongst team members, and creating a space to celebrate achievements and encourage new growth.
Stay tuned for our next Kramer Corporate newsletter to learn more about the ins and outs of planning your team gathering. In the meantime, check out our party packages here.
Are you interested in throwing a company party but questioning how you will break the ice and get the different departments of your company to interact? Though our DJ’s are great at what they do, for some dancing is just not a preferred method of socializing. In which case, The Feud Game show might be the perfect option to add a little healthy competition and fun to your gathering!
Our lighting techs can transform any venue into the stage of your own personal game show. Kramer will come equipped with everything you need to play the game, including an experienced MC who will keep your guests engaged throughout the game and ensure that everyone is having a good time.
With our new bundled pricing for not one, not two, but three different types of entertainment: Karaoke, Dance Party, or Gameshow, you can choose an option that will best suit your company and the wonderful people you work with.
Not only that, but we also offer some fun add-ons like full room uplighting, a dance floor light show, silent disco, and photo booth.
If you’re looking for more than just entertainment, not to worry. We offer Corporate Event Coordination or Full planning packages as well.
Not following us on social media yet? No worries, here is a recap of what we’ve been up to for the past few weeks.
Throughout the whole month of October, the Kramer team repped their pink shirts on all our events to show our support to the cause of Breast Cancer Awareness month.
About 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer throughout the course of their lifetime, but those diagnoses can be far more optimistic when there has been early detection. Realizing the importance of yearly mammograms can mean the difference between life and death for some.
“I lost my Mom a few years back to breast cancer. She skipped getting a mamagram one year. The next year when she got it done, it was a little too late. Don’t put it off! Your family deserves to have you around.” – Beau Kramer
If you are often Up and Adam in the morning, you may have heard Melissa doing her thing in the studio as she chatted it up with Adam and Coral about Kramer Events and what we are up to. Check it out on the BTS section of our Instagram stories!
Things got a little spooky at the SLO Farmers market a couple weeks ago where the Kramer Events team was posted with our karaoke setup. Not only did attendees get a chance to rock out to their favorite tunes, they also got the opportunity to drop business cards off and enter a raffle to win FREE Karaoke for their company party. Stay tuned to find out who the lucky winner will be!
As some of you may have heard, a beloved member of our Central Coast Events Industry, Josh from Sidecar Cocktail Company, was involved in a serious automobile collision on Thursday, October 18th. Although this is an incredibly difficult time for Josh and his family, the outpouring of love and support from our local community is truly inspiring.
In 12 days, Josh’s Go Fund Me page has earned over $80,000 to aid in his recovery. It will be a long a grueling process, but we are all so thankful that Josh will recover from this traumatic experience. Not only is he an amazing person, but he has been a major innovator when it comes to specialty drinks on the Central Coast. We want to show our love and support to Josh during his time of need and also showcase a fellow Central Coast Vendor who is raising the bar in our industry.
Sidecar Cocktail Co. Located on Broad street in San Luis Obispo, Sidecar specializes in original cocktails on a first come first serve basis. They also offer bar catering in style for your wedding, party, or special event on the Central Coast. But that is not all; enjoy some delicious eats while you sip on your one of a kind beverage at their downtown location! The Sidecar team strives to raise the bar when it comes to uniqueness and quality. If you have never been, we highly recommend paying them a visit. Their drinks speak for themselves!
It’s going to be a long road ahead for Josh on his way to recovery and we know his family would greatly appreciate all the help they can get. If you feel so inclined, you may donate using the link below. Thank you.
Having an engagement session with your Kramer Events Photographer prior to your wedding can make a big difference on your special day, and its something we highly recommend, here is why:
“One of the coolest aspects of being a wedding photographer is getting the chance to be immersed in the culture of another family and witness the unique bonds they share with one another. It is important to me that my clients feel like I truly care about them and their guests, because I do! Having an engagement session with my couple ahead of time gives me the opportunity to create a family “shot list” and ask important questions about their friends and family so I feel as though I know the people I’m working with on the day of the wedding. This also makes the process of capturing family photos, which can be grueling if not executed correctly, much easier and even fun! People loosen up when you speak to them by name and show a genuine interest in who they are, and thats what I strive for with every wedding I shoot.” – Nawal Kassir
Photographing a wedding is more than a job, it is a very meaningful service; capturing memories that will mean the world to our clients for years to come. We want to be fully engaged in the process of getting to know our couples and their unique circumstances. An engagement session helps our photographers connect the dots, allowing them to capture your love story authentically in its entirety.
