San Diego corporate & holiday party DJ

The company party everyone actually talks about.

You're the one organizing it — so the real job isn't just music. It's a night that starts on time, sounds great during the speeches, and ends with your coworkers on the dance floor instead of checking their phones. That's what I've done at San Diego company parties for 25+ years.

Built for a business event

What an office party needs that a wedding DJ might not bring

  • $2M liability insurance — I can send a certificate of insurance (COI) straight to your venue, which most hotels and conference spaces require
  • Wireless and lapel microphones — for the CEO's toast, award presentations, raffle numbers, and every speaker on the program
  • A real MC, not just a playlist — introductions, announcements, and keeping the run-of-show moving so you're not the one grabbing the mic
  • Two full sound systems — one can cover a reception or awards area while the other handles the dance floor
  • Uplighting and dance-floor lighting — turns a plain ballroom or office space into somewhere people want to stay
  • I coordinate with your venue directly — load-in, power, timing and the banquet manager, so it's one less thing on your list

Company parties, in their words

"I met Paul working at a Corporate Holiday for Panasonic last weekend. He was the DJ and I was the Magician. He was super friendly and had a great energy and vibe to him... very affable and welcoming. He brings that energy to the crowd and it is infectious. I have worked alongside many many DJ's over the years and Paul is among the best in terms of song selections, feeling the crowd, and his ability to play the part of an MC by introducing the guest and speakers of the night. He even has an announcers cadence and timing to his voice which is a huge plus. He truly is a High Energy DJ and a class act! From a performers stand point the quality of his equipment was great and had a brilliant sound. I used a lapel microphone which he provided and it worked perfectly. Look no further, Paul is a True PRO!"

"I hired Paul Peterson for our corporate 70's Disco themed xmas party. I google searched DJ's read his reviews and hired him. What a wonderful professional. He RAN the party from dinner through the entire evening. Our people couldn't wait to participate in the Hustle dance lesson. He then steered the group to begin dancing and having fun. He really made the party. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a professional who is able to control the group and drive the event!!! Thank you Paul Peterson for making me look good!!!"

"DJ Paul is wonderful! From my initial contact with him to the day of the event, Paul was always quick to respond and extremely professional. We had him DJ at my company's holiday party and the guests loved him! The week prior to the event, DJ Paul texted me with an update - turns out, he took the liberty to contact the hotel coordinator to organize/prepare himself for the event. He came prepared with uplighting, stage lights and a great music system! DJ Paul not only can DJ and put on a good party, but brings great energy to the crowd. You wont be disappointed! He also has wonderful people skills and had no problem collaborating with other vendors. This really helped things flow. Overall a great DJ and great guy!"

"His livelihood is to entertain you. Paul was hired for our company holiday party and was a very crucial element to making it a memorable night. Very well experienced, he has seen what works with all different personalities. Engaged in the activities to make sure our guests had a great time and we danced until the lights came back up. Ad hoc thinking, picks up on what is/isn't working in seconds and adjusts on the fly. Personality A+ and great music! Highly recommend and will definitely hire again. Thanks Paul!"

Events I take on

From the holiday party to the awards night

If it needs music, a microphone, and someone keeping it on schedule, it's in my wheelhouse.

Holiday parties

The big one. Dinner, awards, raffle, then a dance floor that actually fills up — themed nights included.

Company celebrations

Anniversaries, milestones, product launches, summer parties, and team appreciation nights.

Conventions & galas

Conference receptions, awards banquets, and fundraisers that need clean sound for every speaker.

Serving all of San Diego County — downtown hotels, Coronado, La Jolla, Carlsbad and North County.

Easy on you

How booking works

No pushy sales, and I reply within 24 hours — usually much sooner.

  1. 1

    Send me your date and venue

    I'll confirm I'm available and send a straightforward quote for your event — no packages to decode.

  2. 2

    I handle the venue paperwork

    Certificate of insurance to your venue, plus load-in and power sorted directly with their coordinator.

  3. 3

    We build the run-of-show

    Dinner, speeches, awards, raffle, dancing — we map the timing so you're not improvising on the night.

  4. 4

    You get to enjoy your own party

    I set up, MC, run the music and tear down. Your only job is to show up and be a guest.
