San Diego corporate & holiday party DJ
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.

"Paul Peterson was the DJ for our company 100+ person holiday party. Out of the 5 or so other DJ's I've hired in the past for holiday parties, I found Paul to be the best. Besides playing a tasteful selection of songs throughout the night, Paul did an awesome job in helping MC the party by making introductions, announcements, and starting up the dance floor. It is no wonder why Paul comes up as one of the first and most highly recommended event DJ's when searching for a DJ in San Diego - he certainly goes above and beyond. It was truly a pleasure working with Paul; he was very responsive and positive throughout the whole process. Paul was also very competitively priced compared to other DJ's in San Diego. I'm very happy to have worked with Paul and he will be my go-to DJ for future large company parties/events."

"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
If it needs music, a microphone, and someone keeping it on schedule, it's in my wheelhouse.
The big one. Dinner, awards, raffle, then a dance floor that actually fills up — themed nights included.
Anniversaries, milestones, product launches, summer parties, and team appreciation nights.
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
No pushy sales, and I reply within 24 hours — usually much sooner.
I'll confirm I'm available and send a straightforward quote for your event — no packages to decode.
Certificate of insurance to your venue, plus load-in and power sorted directly with their coordinator.
Dinner, speeches, awards, raffle, dancing — we map the timing so you're not improvising on the night.
I set up, MC, run the music and tear down. Your only job is to show up and be a guest.
Tell me your date and venue and I'll come back with availability and a quote.
