Shift + Alt Events planned a private party for us in San Francisco and were exceptional. Impeccable taste, completely discreet, and effortless from our side. I wouldn’t use anyone else for private event planning in SF.

As a DJ, I've worked at events all over California, and Shift consistently stands out as one of the most professional teams I've worked with. Everything is well organized, load-in is smooth, communication is clear, and the event always runs on time, which makes a huge difference from a DJ’s perspective 🔥

Have both been an attendee and collaborator with Shift Alt a number of times over the years. Their events are consistently the most talked about and best run. The team pairs incredibly professionalism and creativity to deliver memorable events of all sizes. If you are looking for something that stands out from the run of the mill you will be in good hands

I cannot recommend these guys enough! I used Shift + Alt Events for a birthday celebration and honestly it was the least stressed I’ve ever been planning an event. They’re an incredible San Francisco birthday party planner and their party planning services SF made everything easy and beautiful! I had so many…
