DJ Alphire is a San Francisco-based DJ and MC who plays company holiday parties across the Bay Area, from team dinners to office parties of 200 guests and more. A holiday party has three jobs: let people talk while they eat, hand the room to leadership for remarks and awards without dead air, then open a dance floor that works for a mixed-age, mixed-taste crowd. One person and one setup cover all three.
A client who booked DJ Alphire for a business holiday party with over 200 guests wrote that he was on time, played great music, brought lights, and got a group of engineers dancing. Read it on the reviews page.
Corporate events start at $1,395 for 4 hours within 30 miles of San Francisco, with a custom quote based on your hours, venue and add-ons. Dates from November to March carry an extra 10% off the base package, and Friday, Sunday and Monday to Thursday dates are discounted as well. The booking flow shows your exact total, and nothing is charged until you have signed. December dates are popular across the Bay Area, so check availability as soon as you have a venue.

Good questions
Holiday party DJ FAQ.
How much does a company holiday party DJ cost in the Bay Area?
Corporate events start at $1,395 for 4 hours within 30 miles of San Francisco, with a custom quote based on your hours, venue and add-ons. Friday and Sunday dates are 10% off the base package, Monday to Thursday 15% off, and November to March another 10% off. Your exact total is shown in the booking flow and confirmed in your quote. See the corporate DJ cost guide for every factor.
How far ahead should we book a holiday party DJ?
As soon as you have a date and a venue. December dates are popular across the Bay Area, so ask for availability first. DJ Alphire usually replies within the hour by text or email.
Can the DJ also host the awards and executive remarks?
Yes. Professional MC hosting is part of every booking: introductions, awards segments, toasts and announcements timed to your agenda, with a microphone for each speaker and walk-on music for winners.
Can you keep the music appropriate for a mixed workplace crowd?
Yes. DJ Alphire reads the room, keeps volume conversational through networking and dinner, and lifts the energy once leadership opens the dance floor. You send a custom playlist and a do-not-play list so the music stays on-brand.
Is DJ Alphire insured, and can our venue get a certificate of insurance?
Yes. DJ Alphire carries liability insurance and is background-checked. A certificate of insurance is available for your venue on request, so send over your venue's requirements when you ask for a quote.
Do you need our venue's sound system?
No. The rig is fully self-contained, so no venue PA is needed, and it can also feed a house PA through balanced XLR. It is recommended for rooms up to about 200 guests, with added sound reinforcement for 201 to 300. Full specs are on the equipment page.
