Booking a DJ + Live Guitar Act for an Austin Holiday Party in 2026

December dates in Austin go fast. If your company holiday party is not booked yet, mid-November is the time to lock entertainment. Here is what to plan, and what a DJ plus live guitar set looks like in practice (see MIXMODE at Red Bull Austin Race Nights, October 24, 2026: Red Bull Austin Race Nights recap, photos and video).

What to book first

1. The date and venue. Friday and Saturday nights in December fill first.
2. Entertainment. Once the venue is set, book the act so the date is held.
3. Sound and power. Ask whether the venue has a PA and power at the stage.

Why a DJ with live guitar fits a holiday party

Holiday crowds are mixed: different ages, different tastes. A DJ can play to all of them without breaks. Live guitar on top turns the music into a show, which is what people remember and post.

What to send us

Date, venue, start and end time, expected headcount, and whether production is in-house.
