Hour by hour
An Elevate Entertainment corporate DJ runs your event in the order your run of show sets, as one person who is both the DJ and the host: the arrival, dinner, the program on the microphone, and the dance floor.
Your corporate event DJ sets the arrival at a level people can talk over while guests find the bar and each other. With live musicians added, strings play from before the doors open.
Dinner music stays under the conversation. The same person checks the run of show with your venue team before the program starts.
Your DJ brings the music down, calls the room to order and introduces your first speaker. With sound production, every seat hears the speeches and the awards.
When the program ends, your DJ opens the floor and reads the room in real time, to the last song. Guest requests come in through JukeJuke™ from their own phones, and the DJ curates them live.
Your Elevate corporate DJ is also your event MC: the same person runs the music and the microphone. Every Elevate DJ is trained as an MC for weddings and corporate events, knows how to direct people, and coordinates the vendors in the room and your run of show, so the whole event feels seamless.

Your DJ
Your Elevate Entertainment corporate event DJ is one of 20+ Elevate-Certified™ DJs across four tiers: Premium, Elite, Exclusive and Artist. Every DJ trains in Elevate U before running a night alone. Every tier carries the Performance & Show-Up Guarantee. Every tier is Elevate-Certified in the same 12 disciplines of DJing and MCing. The higher the tier, the stronger the DJ in all 12 and the more experience behind them: Premium DJs deliver a great night, and Artist DJs are the best we have in every one of the 12.
Elevate-Certified™ means your DJ passed Elevate’s own training. DJs train in Elevate U on the 12 core disciplines of DJing and MCing, for weddings and corporate events. The program runs four months, and experienced DJs move through it faster. Nobody skips it. Every DJ then passes evaluations and successfully DJs a first event, and then becomes Elevate-Certified™ and starts DJing for clients.
If something changes
Every Elevate Entertainment corporate event DJ booking, on every tier, carries its guarantee: if anything ever changes, a DJ matched to your booked DJ’s energy and skill, plus full equipment backups. Booking is one date check, one 60-minute design session, and one exact number.
The guarantee
We guarantee we show up and perform your event. Every booking, on every tier, is matched with a backup DJ and backup equipment. Our show-up record is 100%, and the guarantee is in your contract.

Elite, Exclusive and Artist go one step further. You choose your DJ, and we hold your pick for your night.

Pricing
Corporate events start at $2,000. An Elevate Entertainment corporate event DJ is priced to your event, so your exact number comes from your quote or your Entertainment Design Session. Where it lands depends on how much of the event you hand to one team: the DJ and MC alone, or the sound production, the event lighting, the live musicians, the photo booth and Paparazzi AI with them.
Your Entertainment Design Session is free: 60 minutes, video or phone.
DJ or band
Book the DJ-Band Hybrid from Elevate Entertainment if you want both: a band’s energy on the floor with a corporate event DJ’s coverage of every song and every moment of your program. A DJ alone covers the whole event and every request; a band alone brings live players and takes breaks; the hybrid layers up to six live musicians over the DJ’s set.
| On the night | Corporate event DJ | Band | DJ-Band Hybrid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Continuous music | Yes, every hour of the event | In sets | Yes, the DJ carries the whole event |
| Requests | Any song, on the spot | What the band knows | Any song from your DJ; the musicians play what they know and take requests through the DJ, by ear |
| Breaks | None | Between sets | None, the DJ plays through |
| Footprint | One booth | A stage or risers for every musician | The booth plus the musicians’ positions |
| Volume control | Full, from the booth | Live drums set the floor | Set from the booth |
| How it is priced | One performer’s fee | A fee per musician, plus their sound | The DJ’s fee plus each musician you add |
What sets Elevate apart
Three things are different about an Elevate Entertainment corporate event DJ: one person on the music and the microphone through your program, the Elevate-Certified™ standard every DJ is scored against before running an event alone, and one team on one contract for every part of the event.
The DJ who plays your arrival is the host who welcomes the room, introduces your speakers and reads the award names as written, so the microphone never changes hands between the program and the floor.
There is no license in this industry, so we built a standard. Every Elevate DJ is scored against it before they run an event on their own.
What certified means →Whatever you add to your DJ and MC, the sound production, the event lighting, the live musicians, the photo booth or Paparazzi AI, comes from one team on one contract, so nobody hands your event off at the door.
