Live music at The Palace at Somerset Park.
Solo violin, jazz piano, and DJ + live violin at the Somerset ballroom estate — corporate holiday parties, weddings, galas, and milestone private events. Upcoming: Julie's December 2026 corporate holiday party booking here.
A ballroom estate built for scale.
The Palace at Somerset Park is one of Central New Jersey's largest ballroom-estate venues, with multiple ballroom spaces plus an atrium and grand foyer that hold receptions from 100 to 700 guests. Corporate holiday parties are one of the room's natural fits — the scale accommodates a full evening arc (cocktail arrivals → seated dinner → dancing) with production room to spare. Julie's hybrid DJ + live violin format fills the space cleanly without needing to hire a separate ensemble for each phase of the evening.
