If you are looking for a wedding DJ look no further! Cris is everything you need and more. If you think you can just create a Spotify playlist and hit play your wedding guests will be incredibly sad. The point of a good DJ is to read the crowd, get them going and know how to keep the dance floor moving! Cris did all of this at our wedding and more! He was our hype man, the most amazing MC, a fantastic DJ, a hilarious Trivia Host and the best Karaoke host of all time. And yes that was all at just OUR wedding!! He is a jack of all trades and will work with you on any way you want to make your day incredibly special. This is no Bog standard DJ, this is a man that will go the extra mile to make sure you have the most memorable night ever. Not only is he great at everything he does, he's amazing at going with the flow. We ended up getting married on one of the hottest days of the year (ugh) which meant his microphones died in the heat! Instead of freaking out or stressing us out, he just told us what's up and we had to pivot. No worries at all, we just talked louder! Some other people may have made a huge fuss about this but Cris is so professional he kept us at ease and kept the day going. When our cocktail hour ran long and our violinist had to leave he picked up right where she left off with a playlist of Violin String Quartet music, it was a perfect transition. When our dinner wasn't ready yet and we had to fill some time Cris noticed we were taking photos with guests and encouraged them to come take pictures with us! He sees the little details and is always on it. I swear he cloned himself for the day of the wedding, I genuinely don't know how he did it all. If you're wanting to have the best night of your life hire Cris for your party. Whether it's a wedding, birthday, anniversary, retirement, random Tuesday. You must have him as your DJ as he will take your day and elevate it in ways you didn't know possible. read more

I had the honor of working with Cris and his team on a recent wedding my company coordinated. From start to finish, I was very impressed. They made my job as wedding planner so much easier with their clear, concise communication, their punctuality, which I always appreciate, their super positive demeanor and vibe and most importantly, their amazing work ethic. On the entertainment aspect, I have to say it was absolutely stellar! Cris had everyone out there on the dance floor. Such an awesome MC, one of the best I've had the privilege to work with. Can't wait to work with them again! read more

This review is long over due! I had the pleasure of going to many a wonderful trivia and karaoke night hosted by DJ BKR. Because if this, I knew I had to have him as my wedding DJ. And he was perfect!!! I loved the worksheet that he gave us because it meant that everything was laid out to our standards and we were on the same page. He did a wonderful job putting together a playlist that fit our wants and needs. He did some things for my eccentric needs like looping a song from the Coraline soundtrack for my processional, finding 20s and 30s jazzy beach tunes for our ceremony and room on every request at the reception like the true pro he is including finding multiple folklorico songs for me and my college/high school dance partners to dance to. He also took some really fun pictures of the reception. He brought his daughter along as his assistant and she did a great job helping field requests. I only wish I could get married again so I could have him DJ again. If you're considering him for your event stop looking and book now!!! read more

My wife and I know Cris from his Trivia Night gigs prior to the pandemic. When I found out that he was an ordained minister, I knew that I had to have him officiate our wedding went things went belly up with our previous officiant. He's funny and sweet. Our original officiant pulled out at the last minute causing my wife and I to scramble to find a replacement. I follow Cris on Instagram so I reached out to him to see if he was available to officiate our wedding. Thankfully he was available and came to our rescue on extremely short notice. We worked together to create a script catered to our personalities. He really did us justice with his kind words and humor. He worked quickly and stayed in constant contact with us to make sure everything was perfect. Cris goes above and beyond to make sure that every detail is taken care of and he even helped us out when we had unforeseen technical difficulties. He's been a DJ for a long time and that expertise was invaluable to us. He is a professional through and through. He is relatively new to the wedding officiant game, but I highly recommend him to anyone looking to have a nondenominational, but fun and humorful wedding. Cris took what would have been a stressful situation and put us immediately at ease with his calm, patient demeanor. If anyone ever wants to get a taste of what Cris has to offer, just go and see the man live at his trivia or karaoke gigs in the Bay Area. I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Awesome trivia night. So much fun! Funny, engaging, and much more. Come check it out!! read more

My now-wife and I have been going to Cris's bar trivia nights for almost 7 years, He inspires that sort of loyalty! His shows are always funny and great entertainment. I've brought friends along who are now regulars. Everyone insists that Cris's trivia is much less staid than typical bar trivia contests, as he interacts with the crowd and heckles the hecklers back. The laughs come easier than some of the answers! When it came time to marry my wife, there was only one choice: BKR Productions. And once again, people were coming up to me to say how perfect a DJ Cris was. He even did a trivia round during the reception based on the history of my wife and me, which tickled the crowd. He went through our song selections, told us the pros and cons of each choice, and helped guide us to even better selections. His experience and knowledge can't be beat! So if you are looking for a DJ for an event, then BKR Productions is the choice you must make! Hurrah! read more

DJ BKR is AWESOME! I have followed him through his public DJ shows such as Moons After Dark. He always does an amazing job and follows the crowd. If they seem to be digging a certain type of music, he keeps it going. He has every type of music from newer club stuff to oldies. Whatever the occasion calls for! He is also a fabulous host and makes sure to get the crowd up and out of their seats. Dj BKR even did the DJing for free at my fundraiser for the breast cancer 3 Day. Good guy, GREAT DJ! If I ever need to hire my own private dj, BKR Productions is the first one I'm calling! read more

We were beyond satisfied with Cris of BKR productions as our wedding DJ. Cris came highly recommended from a friend. Thank you Kat! We planned our wedding from out of state and Cris was wonderful with his email communication. Cris is a kind hearted and fun guy, which came through in his announcements and intros. He also provided a mic for me a couple of times, one of which had not planned, but he rolled with the punches. I would hire him again, should the occasion arise. Definitely 5 stars read more

I was not excited about the music for my wedding. It was just one of those things that had to be there and quite frankly I was tortured about it, because my wedding was going to be a very small event, with a very wide range of kinds of people, and I knew from the beginning that dancing was probably going to be tortured and mostly people would skulk into corners and chat with each other. That's definitely what I was planning on doing! Enter Cris of BKR Productions. First, he came over to discuss the music. I pretty much told him what I wrote in the first paragraph. He sighed and made a o_O face, but actually managed to get me excited about the music part of my wedding. We made a date to go and see the venue - right away, I felt "taken care of" and felt like I could leave the whole "music thing" to this man, because he obviously knows what he is talking about. A strong, confident type. When we arrived at the site of my reception to be, I felt somewhat ashamed that I have to torture this poor man like this. My reception site was totally romantic, an old, stone sunken cellar, composed completely of deep rock walls, concrete floor and no roof. (With romantic vines creeping down through the opening and Chinese lanterns waving amorously in the wind). So you see, it was a total acoustic nightmare. A voice would carry and bounce off the walls in a thousand different ways, but DJ Cris braved on with optimism and assurance that this would be a total snap and would be great - and told me that he saw it as a personal challenge. I felt guilty but very confident. The whole process of picking the music and letting him know "our style" was great - Cris is an awesome communicator and extremely professional. I felt like he really made me his priority and was constantly "poking" me for information. If he ever changes his profession into "Cris the wedding planner" I will be the first to recommend him. Here is the surprising thing - I not only danced my first dance at my wedding (my plan, again, was to do that and then chat with guests in a dignified manner) but I actually DANCED THE NIGHT AWAY. And so did everyone else. I didn't know where the reception time went, we were all having so much fun! Not only did he feel the mood at all times and made it impossible to get off the floor (my friend was pole dancing with a heat lamp by the end of the night) but this incredible man took pictures of the event set up, something that even the photographer didn't do, and included it with the soundtrack CD he gave us after the wedding. He made the whole thing more fun than me, the wallflower bride, could have ever imagined. read more

BKR did a fantastic job DJ'ing our office holiday party. The music selections were ideally suited for a diverse mix of attendees. From Gen Y hip hopsters to Baby Boomer crooners, the DJ got everyone into the mix and everyone had a great time. On the coordination side, Cris was a pleasure to work with. His professionalism from initial contact to the final invoice was exemplary. BKR Productions is highly recommended for anyone who needs a DJ for all seasons. read more

My wife and I have known Dj BKR for a long time now from frequenting his trivia nights at The Lariat. We always have a blast and everyone we bring with us always wants to come back for more. Our team usually places in the bottom percentile (due to our own lack of knowledge) but we love the thinkin' and drinkin' BKR hosts anyways. When it came time for my fiance/now wife and I to get married and pick the music for our wedding we did nlt hesitate to choose Dj BKR as our DJ. Cris was very proffesional and let us know well in advance what to expect, how he usually runs things, what we can do to make the dance floor full, and basically everything we had no idea went into making a wedding amazing. Cris was very prompt and proffesional throughout the process. When the big day came Dj BKR absolutly rocked the house. The dance floor was never empty and I even saw some great aunts getting down on the dance floor. Cris mixed our ecleptic choices in music very well and played each genre at the perfect moment (we had everything from Beach Boys, to Country, to Jazz and he rocked them amazingly). Cris is a very enthusiastic character and his personality definitly came out in his DJing which is exactly what we wanted. The night was killer and my wife and I enjoyed every minute of it. I would highly recommend Dj BKR for his wedding skills as well as his always fun Trivia Nights! read more

Vince is pretty awesome

I've seen Cris DJ at Trivia Night at Fred's and love his humor and style, so decided to hire him to DJ a birthday party at our house. He is super professional and attentive, he played songs from my list as well as song requests from guests. He brought extra mics and really cool lights, and was mindful of DJ'ing at a private home in a residential neighborhood. He was also nice to consider my budget for a smaller private party. I would highly recommend him, such a cool and fun guy!! read more

I have never been to a trivia night regularly until we got invited by chance to play at the Villa Roma with Cris as the DJ (TJ for trivia DJ?). I seriously go every week now. While the Villa Roma was scary and dark (it's an older local bar) Chris was funny, had great trivia questions, engaged the whole bar and was all around rockin' creating a really fun environment for a range of people. We had ages from 21 to over 60 having a great time, there was lots of banter and some serious trivia. 5 stars because Chris is really great with people and finds a way to make things fun for everyone. :) read more

Last Saturday evening, we held an outdoor gathering to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We hired Chris as our DJ. He met with us a couple of times before the event to see the general layout, and discuss the types of music we liked. The evening came, and Chris showed up to set up his equipment. He was both very easy to get along with and professional. When the party started, he played to our group of friends. He found out what kind of music they wanted to hear, and adjusted his pre-prepared playlist to match the group. Everyone had a great time at our party, and we think the DJ, Chris, had a lot to do with their enjoyment. We would definately hire him again, and strongly recommend him to everyone. read more

I have known Cris professionally for a few years now. When I met him, he was doing regular DJ gigs at local bars and lounges. He has since expanded to include trivia shows and karaoke to his arsenal. Cris is fun, professional, and knows the job very well. His music selection is fantastic, and if he doesn't have what you want, he is happy to get it for you (for DJ parties or even karaoke songs!). I knew I was planning to come to his show, so I contacted him on his Facebook page to see if he had a specific song... He didn't, so he went and bought it and added it to his selection! You can't BUY that kind of customer accommodation! His equipment is great. He even uses a bubble machine from time to time that fills the dance floor with little floating bubbles that look awesome with his multi-colored light effects. I have also heard from friends that he does an incredible job at weddings and corporate events. I wouldn't doubt it, he is very good at what he does. I would recommend BKR Productions for anyone looking for an Emcee or DJ for their event. read more

I hired DJ Lili for a friend's birthday party. Not only was she totally professional, she made the party! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for the night, everyone had a blast! She showed up early and was all setup and ready to go before I arrived. Lili was referred by a friend and Chris at BKR (owner and DJ) was a pleasure to work with regarding the business end of things. I would highly recommend Lili and BKR for any party, wedding or event where you need top notch entertainment. read more

Lots of fun, every Monday night at Fred's in Mountain View. Regardless of outcome, always a good time.

This was the best experience we could ever ask for. We needed a DJ for our wedding and found Cris who not only helped us with the music but worked with our timeline to make our wedding wonderful. He went above and beyond to make sure that we had the perfect day and the music was amazing. We told him the genre of music we liked and he helped to create a playlist. If you ever need a DJ for your wedding I would 100% recommend Cris. read more

Cris is an awesome KJ!! Great music selection and he always tries to get people up singing quickly. Has been very accommodating to me every time I've been there. Even if I haven't been around in a while,he seems to make it as if its my first time at Lariat. I would definitely give him two thumbs up!! \m/ read more

Cris was absolutely the perfect DJ for our wedding. We met him at a local trivia and after getting to know him decided he'd be a fun fit for providing us all the fun tunes to the wedding! He did not disappoint. He's been in the industry for an awesome amount of time which gives him a ton of experience and familiarity with helping support the wedding. He's extremely prepared and communicable, sending us song templates to get us started in building out the music for the entire night. He also helped guide us when we were stuck on decisions and shared song lists to keep us on track. He's timely in both any pre-wedding meetings and to the actual ceremony to make sure he's able to set up and sound check his equipment. He's a really fun DJ - totally organized and very comfortable doing intros & any other funny commentary throughout the night. Highly recommended!! read more

If you're looking for a DJ for your wedding then look no further than Cris at BKR. My husband and I got married October 21st up in Napa and Cris and his assistant were amazing! My brother referred Cris to me after spending many nights at The Villa doing Trivia and Koaroke. I decided to take my brother's suggestion after going on the BKR website & seeing that weddings were indeed what Cris is all about. I was more than an impressed. Cris is an awesome DJ, super professional, organized and fun. He kept my husband and I on track with his wedding music worksheet. We were able to decide on all aspects of our wedding music from beginning to end. If there was anything that I couldn't come up with or decide on Cris was there to fill on the blanks. The guy knows what he is doing in terms of keeping the party going and appealing to all age groups at a wedding. Cris was fantastic and my husband and I can't thank him enough for the lovely wedding that he was apart of. We want to get married all over again just to have him dj the event! Thank you Cris!!!! read more

I really wish I could give Cris 10 stars! He is not only an INCREDIBLE DJ who kept the dance floor just packed the whole night - Cris makes everything fun - he takes the stress right out of the reception. He rolls with changes, has an awesome and positive attitude, and is a total professional. As a producer and event planner who has done hundreds of weddings I can say this - you want this guy on your team! He makes everything better and it is very clear that he absolutely LOVES what he does! Thank you Cris! read more

Chris a.k.a. DJ BKR, what a class, interactive and amazing job he did for us on the most important day of our lives. Chris is perhaps the finest wedding DJ in the bay area. I have been working in this field for 34 years, off & on. I am humbled to witness the skill and joy that this guy Chris, DJ BKR brought to our party. I personally have entertained audiences all over the world and I want to give my absolute highest recommendation because I only work with the best, get it! This guy is the best. I can't thank you to much Chris. You made he day! read more

Words really can't describe how impressed and happy my new husband and I were with DJ Cris on our wedding day. The moment we set a wedding date, we knew exactly who we wanted to be our DJ. We have known DJ Cris for some time now and have always been happy with how great he is at what he does. Not only was he very cooperative with all the madness that went with our wedding day, but he made it a point to make sure I was ok and that I was happy. DJ Cris gave us a music questionnaire to fill out months in advance before the wedding that was incredibly helpful. Some of the questions asked, I never would have thought about. And because of that, the music selection played was outstanding. The guests at our wedding were thrilled with the music. We had a lot of mixed music preferences. Some liked country, some pop, some rap, some old school classics. Cris definitely accommodated EVERYONE'S music taste at the wedding. My dad, who doesn't dance, was out on the dance floor so much. I was in shock! Not only was he professional, but DJ Cris has an amazing sense of humor. He was able to make people laugh and had a smile on his face the entire night. If you are looking for a DJ, not just for a wedding, but for any event...talk to BKR Productions. You will not be disappointed. Cris thank you for helping make one of the best days of my life amazing. And thank you for appreciating Richard Cheese, like Chad and I do. Cheers! read more

Cris and DJ Lili were so helpful and easy to work with for our wedding. Cris was very professional over the phone (I still haven't met him in person) and our initial conversation answered all of my questions and we had the basic outline of the contract finished quickly. Their prices were more than fair and compared very favorably to other DJs we'd spoken with. DJ Lili -- what can I say? She made the night! She read our crowd just right and played a great mix of songs that stayed within the limits we'd set on genres and our do not play list. She had everyone up and dancing and was amazing with the kids there. She brought glow sticks for the children to play with and helped them finish their photo treasure hunt sheets. Lili is a champ! She made sure everyone was having a grand time. I can't thank her enough! Check her out at Trivia Night at Route 92 in San Mateo -- excellent fun! read more

Hipster tested, parent approved. Cris dj'd our wedding and completely crushed it. He is a pleasure to work with and totally professional. There's a lot of moving parts when you're planning a wedding and it is nice to know that you don't have to worry at all about this guy. From the first meeting to the end of the night, everything went off without a hiccup. He showed up early for all of our meetings and worked hard to make sure we were happy with the playlist. Cris is also super flexible . Unplanned Hora - no problem, Cris has it covered. All in all, A+ experience. read more

Cris is a crack-up. He puts on a really good show. He also pulls a big crowd so there is a party wherever his show is.

Loads of fun playing his trivia every Thursday night at the Lariat. My colleagues and I have been coming almost every week since we first came back in Jan. Highly recommend! read more

Cris came in to do a Father Daughter Sock Hop for our elementary school. The event was absolutely fantastic! We all loved the music, even the dads. They were all dancing and having a great time with their daughters. The girls are still buzzing about the event this week! He did a fantastic job mixing the 50's music with the girls' requests from current hits and setting a great party tone. Hope we can have him back next year! read more

BKR Productions, and specifically DJ Cris Ratkovic, was a huge part of making our wedding reception amazing. I always felt that the dj was a crucial part of the success of a wedding reception and was a bit nervous about picking one. My friends who had seen Cris at another reception had amazing things to say though, and upon meeting him, I instantly felt great about my choice. He spent time with me ahead of the event, looking at the site, going over a play list (and more importantly a "do not play" list!), and giving me advice about timing and flow of the reception. When we started planning our wedding, we decided that we wanted to do an extra long reception so that we could just throw a great party for our friends and family. I worried about bit that 6.5 hours would be too much, but it turned out to be the awesome party that we'd hoped for. I don't think that dance floor was empty for a single minute after the dancing started. And I've never seen that many people remaining at the end of a reception, still wanting one more song to dance to. Cris completely understood the tone and vibe that I'd wanted for the entire event, and he did a wonderful job making sure that happened. I've always hated cheesy wedding DJs, but Cris is far from that, while still being able to please all of our guests. Everyone, from my teenage cousins to my husband's grandparents, had a blast. If you are looking for a DJ who is professional, helpful and experienced, Cris is the way to go. I'm looking for another excuse to throw a big party so we can use him again! read more

Being a huge fan of DJ BKR's trivia and Karaoke nights (fantastic fun) we hired Cris for a birthday party we held for my husband's 40th. It was a great evening and Cris was able to engage everyone. Professional and creative, Chis showed up on time and kept everyone on the dance floor for hours. We definitely plan on hiring him again and plan to attend his trivia/karaoke nights in the meantime. Highly recommended! read more

Lili is AWESOME! She's a great trivia host. Professional, fun, and has great music during breaks. Always a good time grabbing a couple drinks and exercising the brain. I know she does Route 92 on Wednesdays. I'm not sure what her other gigs are. read more

what can I say, I'm a big fan! Cris is very personable not like most dj's that have an attitude just because they're a dj. Cris connects very well with the crowd and has a good amount of following in his events. He's easy to talk to and will make accomodations to play your request. I agree with the reviews, he's a great dj! read more

Chris is a great music, trivia and karaoke DJ. He is witty, fun, engaging, outgoing and has a huge variety of music to choose from. He is very professional and i would hire him for next party. read more

I hired Cris for my 40th birthday party.. He was recommended by some friends. I was very pleased! He had the right flow of music throughout the night and had every song that was requested for karaoke. It was a fantastic time and I would hire him again. read more

Cris is fantastic. He was supposed to dj our wedding when we first tried to put it together. When we canceled he even gave us our deposit back. Then to make up for it dj'd my 30th birthday at the lariat. It was soo much fun. The karaoke was fun. Then we finally had our wedding in November and he was amazing. Can't wait for the next event. read more

Cris is everything that you could possibly want from a wedding DJ. If you want someone who guests notice mostly because they are dancing their pants off, this is definitely your guy. During the planning process, Cris met with us two or three times, and talked everything through with us. He is very responsible and reliable, and gives you lots of ideas while also listening really careful to what you want. My husband, who had some groomzilla tendencies that mostly manifested themselves in placing demands on our DJ, was incredibly happy with the results. And Cris did not seem to mind at all, giving us tentative playlists and revising them in response to our feedback and suggestions. He did our ceremony, which went flawlessly, made announcements in a very professional manner, and did a great job of reading the crowd once the dancing really got underway. Highly recommended! read more

Cris is a great entertainer. I go to his trivia shows all the time. He's funny, personable, and dedicated. He puts in a lot of work to make sure everyone is happy. His karaoke shows are also a lot of fun. The sound is always spot on, so anyone will sound as good as he or she ever will. read more
