I used The Kraemer Building to throw my annual holiday party for 70 guests in the absolutely beautiful historical building in Anaheim! Our company will most likely use this venue again this year. After countless of weeks inquiring and checking out different venues and event spaces throughout Orange County and Los Angeles, I decided to go with The Kraemer Building for various reasons below, and I'm so glad I did!
The Kraemer Building is located in downtown Anaheim, walking distance from the Anaheim Packing District and a 5-minute drive from Disneyland.
1) Ernesto and Staff was so friendly and helpful in providing us detailed information and accommodating our guests that enabled us to successfully throw our party. They were always responsive to our messages and phone calls (even though I felt I may have asked way too many questions!) and was super accommodating to our needs. He helped us find vendors (party rental furniture company and a party rental glassware company) at the very last minute even though it was around the holidays and most vendors were already fully committed. Any issues or concerns we had, Ernesto would immediately address it and help us.
2) The Kramer Building is absolutely beautiful and even more stunning inside! My guests and I cannot praise it enough! Since it's a historical building, it has that inherent romantic feeling once you step foot into the lobby. The floors inside the lobby are beautiful, and to the left, is an amazing stairway that leads up to the mezzanine. The intricate design of the, "hand-crafted ornamental" ceiling in the lobby/mezzanine is so amazing and beautiful! It immediately transforms you to a different place and era. Feels like those gorgeous churches in Europe. When we did the initial walk through to see the venue, I was sold on that. :) It only required minimal decorations to decorate the venue for the party since the space was beautiful as is and event ready. No draping of any sort necessary! We used some holiday lighting as and dimly lit candles throughout the downstairs lobby and the mezzanine to give it an extra romantic feel. We used the marble round table bar downstairs in the lobby for the bar/bartender and provided food upstairs for guests catered by the cooks of Mi Piace restaurant in Pasadena.
There is ample FREE parking in the parking structure adjacent to the venue that guests could park for free and was super convenient for everyone. Some of the other venues that I had also inquired either had limited parking or fees for guests to park or Valet only which was a cost to my guests. read more
