In the four Los Angeles hotels we log in detail, most nights run from a DJ booth. At the Beverly Hilton, “our DJs have covered 65 events” out of the 83 we have on record there. Nathan and Oren hold 153 nights on record between them across four hotels. Lists of the best DJs in LA rarely tell you who has worked your ballroom. This page does, one DJ at a time.
Six DJs. The room counts come from our own booking records, and every profile page carries video of real sets.
Nathan Javidzad co-founded LIV and runs it as CEO, and he still DJs almost every weekend. He started DJing at 13, after growing up with his parents’ classics and international hits playing at home, and he has spent twenty years in events. That double role shapes the booking. He sees a night from the booth and from the planning side, and he works as the music consultant with each client, building the set around the event. At Hotel Bel-Air, where most of our nights have been DJ-led, Nathan has worked the room more than anyone on the roster. The March 2026 wedding in our Beverly Wilshire photographs was his, with our lighting in the room.
That is 83 nights on record across the four, plus Hotel Bel-Air.

Oren has been fascinated by music since he was 13, and his profile describes him as one of the leading DJs in Jerusalem. His set videos carry a second name, Sesta. In Los Angeles his record sits in two rooms above all. He has 32 nights at the Beverly Hilton, the most of any act on that hotel’s list. At Four Seasons Westlake Village, a ballroom where 29 of our 32 nights have been DJ-led, he has played 15 times. Both weddings in our photographs from that hotel, one in June 2024 and one in March 2026, were his nights.
That is 70 nights on record across the four.

Jason also plays as DJ Shad. He started mixing at 12 and worked his way into the scene as an international DJ. His profile is plain about the goal: keep the crowd moving and the dance floor full, with the energy up all night. The Beverly Wilshire page names him with Nathan and Oren as the DJs who have most often taken over the floor after the band hands it on. His video titles lean toward range rather than one sound: an American intro, an international intro and an EDM Latin set. If you want to hear that range before you book, those videos are the place to start.
That is 10 nights on record across the three, and he is also on the Beverly Hills Hotel’s booked list.
SetsAmerican; International; EDM Latin.

Justin’s profile calls him a professional DJ in Los Angeles with more than 10 years behind the decks. The work has taken him across the United States, to South America and to Europe. His profile says his passion for music holds whatever the genre, and his four set videos back that up: American, EDM, International and Israeli. At Four Seasons Westlake Village he is one of the three DJs with the most nights in the ballroom, alongside Oren and Nathan. The hotel’s page offers couples the chance to hear all three before they decide.
That is 10 nights on record across the three, and he is also on the Beverly Hilton’s booked list.

Corey was the youngest mixer to land a weekly show on Power 106 FM, and the youngest DJ to win the Beezo Battle title. He currently holds residencies at Hard Rock, Sidebar San Diego and Fluxx, so his club work is current rather than a line from years ago. He also turns up in our quieter rooms. He is one of the DJs on record at Hotel Bel-Air, a drape-lined ballroom where our own notes say volume discipline is part of the job, and he is on the Beverly Wilshire’s booked list as well.
That is 4 nights on record across the two, plus Hotel Bel-Air and the Beverly Wilshire.
SetsHip Hop Medley; International Medley; Classics; Mainstream; Urban.

Jayde is an internationally booked DJ. The Hollywood list runs through Argyle, Le Jardin and The W RoofTop. Further afield, Jayde has played Supper Club in San Francisco and Art’s Club in France. On the corporate side there is the YouTube Space Grand Opening in Playa del Rey, and awards season brought after parties for the Grammy, Golden Globe and SAG Awards. If your brief reads more like a night out than a banquet, start with this profile.

The DJ plays low, or shares the room with a single player. A saxophonist has joined us on 2 nights at the Beverly Wilshire, and the Beverly Hilton gallery has a saxophone working through cocktail hour. The level we aim for is the one our venue pages describe: loud enough to lift the room, quiet enough for a table of eight to keep talking.
Service runs long in a big ballroom. The music sits underneath it and comes up for the toasts and the first dance. Speech audio, video playback and the timing cues stay with the same crew as the booth.
This is where live players come in over the set. At the Beverly Hilton, the DJ has usually been Oren or Nathan, with a hand drummer and a saxophone coming in for the entrances and the hora. At Four Seasons Westlake Village, a percussionist plays a frame drum into a microphone beside the booth. Our caption for that photograph: “Live percussion played over the set, not instead of it.”
The lights drop, the beam rig comes up through the haze, and a hotel ballroom starts to feel like a club. Our Beverly Wilshire and Westlake galleries both carry the same kind of picture: red beams over the DJ booth, late in the night. This stretch needs a DJ who watches the floor. A playlist cannot do it.
In most Los Angeles ballrooms we work, the DJ is the booking, not the add-on:
Adding players does not mean changing formats. A saxophone, hand percussion or a frame drum can come in over the set for an entrance or a cocktail hour while the DJ keeps the floor, and strings have played one Beverly Wilshire night. If you want musicians layered over the DJ for the whole reception, ask about LIV DJ Band.
Budget usually decides the rest. A DJ starts around $2,000. A party band starts around $5,000, and a wedding band starts at $7,000 for five pieces. If a band is the right call, our live bands in Los Angeles page covers the lineups.
Vlad Bazaria, our lighting designer and manager, draws every lighting plan in-house for the client in front of him, and you see visual renderings before the night. The same rig reads differently from room to room, and our venue notes are specific about it:
Book the DJ and the lighting together and one crew runs the night, from the first guest to the last song.
Our wedding DJs in Los Angeles treat the timeline as part of the set: processional audio, microphones for the vows, toasts, first dance, last song. Weddings make up most of our Westlake Village and Beverly Wilshire bookings, and the photographs on those venue pages come from real ones, one with Nathan and two with Oren.
Our Beverly Hilton page sums up the DJ work there as running “from mitzvah floors to weddings.” For the entrances and the hora, a hand drummer or our Middle Eastern traditional band can join the DJ. Luxe Sunset, Skirball Cultural Center and Sinai Temple, three venues in our history that run mostly mitzvahs, sit on the same list.
Private parties, a birthday and an anniversary all appear in our Beverly Wilshire log, and the Hotel Bel-Air log has private parties of its own, plus a baby shower. If the party wants a club-style set, the relevant history is Corey’s current residencies at Hard Rock, Sidebar San Diego and Fluxx, and Jayde’s nights at Argyle and Le Jardin.
For a corporate program the DJ is only half the job. Speech microphones, video playback and the cues for each segment sit with the same crew. Jayde’s corporate list includes the YouTube Space Grand Opening in Playa del Rey, and our Beverly Hilton log includes two fundraisers.
A proposal or a baby shower gets quoted the same way as a wedding. Hotel Bel-Air is our reference point: a drape-lined room small enough that everything in it is heard, where the right answer is usually a smaller system, carefully placed, and a DJ held low.
From our venue notes: “Where we have played before, we already hold the sound limits, curfew and load-in details, which saves the planner a round of emails.”
We work out of Culver City and book DJs across Los Angeles, from the Westside hotels to the San Fernando Valley, and out to Pacific Palisades and Venice. The zip codes below are the areas we cover. If yours is not listed, ask anyway.

“Nathan and his company provided excellent service and resources both for our engagement party and the wedding itself. He heard all of our music suggestions and was available for multiple meetings. When the venue came with restrictions, Nathan countered with amazing ideas to make our ceremony and celebration unique. His energy is contagious, and his band is exceptional.“
– Lauren N.
“Our wedding was such a magical day. Rouge was amazing! They went above and beyond what we expected for our Persian/Mexican mixed wedding. The best part of our night dancing on stage with ROUGE overlooking 300 people on our dance floor sharing the magical night with us! We are incredibly lucky to have had them be apart of our wedding day! Highly recommend.”
– Vanessa G.
“This company deserve more than 5 stars. If you are lucky enough to hear about them before your wedding, don’t doubt they are absolutely phenomenal. It’s. been over a month after our wedding and we still getting calls from our guests about how magical our wedding was. I can’t say enough about Rouge’s performance. The most professional, experienced, awesome people to work with”
