Events Done Right.
A company event shouldn't feel like work. The thing I care most about is working well with the people putting it on, because when everyone is on the same page the night runs itself. I think about the room as much as the music: where people will stand, where they'll talk, and where you want them by the end. The aim is a night that sounds like your brand and still feels like a party, so guests stay engaged, keep talking, and eventually start dancing.
01. Atmosphere (Arrival)
First impressions count. I keep it low and warm, usually lo-fi, jazz or neo-soul, so the room feels full without anyone raising their voice to be heard.
02. Engagement (Networking)
As the room fills up, the energy lifts. Funk, disco and records people half-remember. Upbeat enough to feel like something is happening, quiet enough that people can still talk business.
03. Celebration (The Party)
Once the speeches are done, the night opens up. I watch who's actually on the floor and play to them, and I keep an eye on how far your company culture wants to go.

Types of Events
Corporate covers a lot of ground. A product launch and a holiday party need almost opposite energy, and they're planned differently too.
Pop-Ups and Launches
Here the music is part of how the brand comes across, not background noise. Give me your brand guidelines and I'll work from them the way a designer would. Often paired with content for your channels. See the media kit for that side.
Holiday Parties
The hardest one to get right. Mixed ages, colleagues who don't usually socialise, and an open bar. It needs a slower build than a wedding, and some judgement about how loose this particular company actually wants to get.
Galas and Fundraisers
The schedule runs the night here, not the music. Speeches, awards and auctions all need clear sound and cues that land on time. My job is to keep the room warm between segments so it doesn't go flat, then open the floor properly once the formal part is done.
Retail and Showrooms
Long hours, people coming and going, and conversation that has to stay possible. Lower volume, steady tempo, no big moments. The goal is a room people want to stay in, not a dance floor.
Conferences and Networking
Music between sessions, during breaks and at the closing reception. Each needs a different volume and mood, and I'll help with the room's sound so a panel doesn't open with feedback.
Private Parties
Birthdays, anniversaries and apartment parties where the guest list is personal. Closest in feel to a wedding . The music has to reflect the host rather than a venue's house style.
What Planning Actually Looks Like
Most problems at a company event aren't about music. They're a speech that starts before anyone has a microphone, a load-in window nobody confirmed with the venue, or speakers pointed at the bar. That's why I care so much about working closely with whoever is running the night.
Before the day
Send me the run of show, the venue contact, and a sense of who'll be there. Rough ages, whether people know each other, whether this company dances. If there's a planner or production company, I'd rather speak to them directly than have messages passed along. Brand guidelines help if you have them.
On site
I handle sound, lighting and setup, so it's one conversation instead of three vendors texting each other. I get there early enough to sound-check properly and walk the room, because where people actually end up standing changes how it should be arranged.
During
The three stages above are a starting point, not a script. If the room wants something else, I follow the room. That's the whole reason to hire a person instead of pressing play, and it's why I don't lock a set list a week in advance.
The FAQ covers timing, equipment, deposits and what happens if plans change. If you'd rather hear it than read about it, the live sets are the honest version.

What Producers Usually Ask Me
If you book events for a living, these are the four things you need before you can put me on a run sheet.
Insurance and COI
I carry liability insurance and can send a certificate of insurance on request. Give me the venue name and whoever needs to be named as additional insured, and I’ll get it over. Most venues want this a couple of weeks out, so earlier is easier.
Gear and Tech Specs
I bring my own sound and lighting, sized to the room. If you need a full spec sheet for the venue or your production team, ask and I’ll send one. If there’s already a system in the building, I’m happy to plug into it instead. Just tell me what’s there.
Load-In and Timings
Tell me the load-in window, whether there’s a freight elevator, and how far the room is from the door. I plan around your schedule, not the other way round, and I’d always rather arrive early and wait than arrive on time and rush.
Rate
Non-wedding events start at $1,200. The final number depends on hours, how much gear the room needs, and whether you want lighting or a second setup for a separate space. Send me the details and I’ll give you a real figure rather than a range.
Planning an event? Let's make it memorable.
Every event is different. Tell me the date, the venue and roughly how many people, and I'll come back with a real number. Non-wedding events start at $1,200.
