    Flawless wedding

    Anything Denise was in charge of at the wedding went so smoothly. This allowed for us to relax and enjoy the day! I don’t think our wedding could have gone better and that is largely in part to the organization and execution of Denise.

    Denise Kramer Weddings's reply:

    I absolutely LOVED working with Stephanie and Bryant. We were able to plan the wedding from the beginning, choosing the sites for their wedding day and rehearsal dinner, the rentals and their vendors, all the way through to the wedding day. They were and are a fabulous couple!

    Destination Wedding

    Denise did a great job coordinating things with various vendors, and was very helpful in helping us narrow down venues for our wedding and rehearsal dinner. Her relationships with certain vendors are evident, and it’s great to be able to leverage that. She’s also very good at cost control.

    Denise is an angel

    We found Denise late in our wedding planning and she was exactly who we needed. With insider and local knowledge for smaller local vendors, she was able to support and take our wedding to the next level - from backyard wedding to first class venue. The little touches she suggested made a huge difference and instantly elevated our wedding. She was kind and calm and also ran a tight ship! She thought of everything and as a fellow event and production professional it was such a gift to ask someone else 'Ok where do I go next?' and not worry about a thing. She made things extra special with some of her own Waterford crystal champagne flutes for my husband and I as well as an Irish shilling for my shoe, and some Irish linen for my bouquet. She is a gem of a person and a planner and we HIGHLY recommend her.

    Denise was the best wedding planner! The only choice when choosing someone to plan your special day.

    I felt so grateful to have found Denise to plan our wedding. She was organized, professional, easy to communicate with and just overall a joy to work with! Denise is so dialed-in to all the wonderful, excellent and professional wedding community and she always represented us and kept our vision in mind. She was the very first phone call when we started planning and she should be yours as well. I promise you will not regret it! Denise is THE only choice for a wedding planner, you will be in the best care!

    Denise is amazing!

    I wanted to take the time to thank you for everything you did for us in making our wedding absolutely perfect! You were so kind throughout the planning process, quick to respond to my (many) questions and planning logistics, and helped to make our special day everything we could have dreamed about and more!
    I am so grateful for all of your help, especially on the day of the wedding. I woke up that morning feeling excited for the day ahead, and I was able to focus on the special moments throughout the day instead of worrying about timelines and to dos.
    To anyone looking for a wedding planner- Denise is the perfect person!

    Denise Kramer Weddings's reply:

    Thank you, Hannah! Beltane Ranch is such a gorgeous venue, and you were so lovely to work with. Your sense of style is fabulous, and I was happy I could help take it through to the wedding day.

    Go with the pro!

    We were so lucky to have Denise as our planner! She was a huge help in taking the stress out of our wedding planning, and having someone coordinating all the vendors day-of allowed us to enjoy the day. She was great with the back and forth communication leading up to the big day, and her suggestions and years of experience made everything run smoothly. I wasn’t sure the extra cost for a planner would be worth it, but let me say it definitely is to put the stress of all the little details on a pro!

    Excellent Day-Of Coordination!

    Denise was so wonderful to work with prior to, and on, our wedding day. She made sure that our wedding day schedule stayed according to plan, which was so helpful while we were enjoying our big day with our loved ones. I also really appreciated that she attended our final site visit prior to the wedding and provided us some helpful tips when finalizing all the last minute decisions. She was also great at negotiating and speaking upon our behalf when other vendors or event staff weren't agreeable with our wishes. Thank you Denise!

    Wonderful experience

    We had an amazing wedding weekend thanks to Denise. She planned and coordinated everything. She has an amazing network of vendors as well.

    Denise Kramer Weddings's reply:

    Doreen & Brian are the sweetest couple ever! It was a privilege to be part of their Christopher Creek Winery wedding weekend. From the rehearsal dinner to the day after brunch, it was a lovely three-day weekend filled with the joy of friends and family.

    Hiring Denise is the best wedding planning decision you can make!

    Denise helped us plan our wedding and our original date had to be moved 3 times due to the pandemic. Throughout the 3 years which spanned our wedding planning process, Denise was so responsive, helpful, and calming. She helped us navigate vendors, move our date, and saved us on unnecessary costs. The day of the wedding we didn’t worry about anything - Denise and her assistant were on top of every detail. Truly we couldn’t have felt luckier! Denise is the best - hire her.

    Denise Kramer Weddings's reply:

    Inna & Matt deserved having a beautiful day! They waited so long, due to Covid, and were so patient and simply lovely to work with. Gorgeous location, wonderful couple!

    Best Wedding Planner Ever!

    Denise was very patient and always available to answer our questions. We had a few issues come up during our wedding day and she helped to take care of everything, made sure our guests were happy, and kept us on schedule so my wife and I could enjoy our wedding. Denise was also able to recommend some great vendors for us and helped to coordinate all our vendors. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner.

    Denise Kramer Weddings's reply:

    Jason & Priscilla were an amazing couple! They endured all the drama of planning a wedding during Covid-19, with rescheduling and all that entails, and then had rain on their wedding day. Fortunately, it waited until after the outdoor ceremony! But with it all, their love shown through.

    More than just your wedding planner

    Ah, I don't know where to start! We hired Denise because it was clear in our first call with her that she was experienced, had a strong relationships in the Sonoma area, and valued and could balance building a beautiful experience for our community while keeping us on budget (which was super important for us). She was also both easy to work with and a strong communicator. In working with her, she was so much more. We ultimately selected San Francisco instead of Sonoma, but Denise built great relationships with our vendors, as well as the family members that volunteered to help us throughout the wedding. Denise also went above and beyond to work with the new management that purchased our venue, ensuring that they stuck to the contract that was grandfathered in. Finally, on the day of, we just enjoyed the wedding without worrying about any of the details. We received so many compliments and we couldn't have done it without Denise!

    Denise was with us from when we got engaged in January 2019 to our reception in 2022. We had to postpone our reception twice due to COVID and she stepped up to help us figure out what we felt was an impossible situation. We finally had the day we hoped for three years later and she was there for every step. Thank you Denise!

    Perfect ceremony - stress free planning

    We found Denise while searching wedding sites. We were looking for someone to help us plan our elopement in California (from Atlanta.) She was very responsive right from the start, so we decided to meet with her 5 months before our wedding to find the right site. After a few questions, she took us to 3 equally lovely, but different sites. We settled on BR Cohn's Oak Tree Grove. Right from the beginning Denise set us up with hair/makeup (The Powder Room). Musical Heart Strings, the officiant, the florist, and transportation (Sac Town Vintage). She made the introductions between us and the vendors, and oversaw the emails. Denise knows what is going on and what works. When I emailed her a few days before the ceremony asking for a rose petal path, she was "on it." When she found out that BR Cohn had booked a wedding the same day as ours, she navigated it so we never saw or heard the other wedding. She arranged the delicious cake and BRCohn wine for us to have at our ceremony. Denise is the consummate professional. Thanks to her we were able to enjoy our time before the wedding feeling stress-free and knowing everything was going to be perfect... and it was. Denise will plan it all for you... don't you worry. She knows what works, she knows who is the best, and she is the best!

    Denise Kramer Weddings's reply:

    This was one of those perfectly beautiful couples who deserved a perfectly beautiful wedding. I was privileged to be a part of their day!

    Magical wedding in Sonoma

    Denise is a visionary! We found her through our venue's events coordinator, who recommended Denise to us when we were in the search for a wedding coordinator. From the start, you can tell she's been in the business for a long time, she is very knowledgeable. All the wedding vendors Denise recommended to us were all wonderful! Wedding planning can be time consuming and stressful, but she helped guide us so that our big day can be enjoyable and stress-free. She was organized, professional, responsive, thoughtful, and such a joy to work with! Denise is very detail oriented and knows the big picture. Sometimes as brides we tend to sweat the small stuff. She knows what works and shared the things that are not worth stressing about - I appreciate that so much about her. Denise did her best to save us money and made sure we stayed within our wedding budget. I would highly recommend her to future couples getting married. She is worth every penny and more! Thank you so much, Denise, for helping to plan such a magical wedding for us!

    Denise Kramer Weddings's reply:

    Thank you, Vanina, for such a lovely, thoughtful review. Vanina & Steve are such a lovely couple, and deserved to have a beautiful wedding. I'm happy that the wedding was memorable for them, and that we stayed in budget!
