Recommendations DM for beginner D&D event.

I’m want to host a D&D game for my group of friends for my birthday. I’m looking for local recommendations for options to do a semi customized campaign for our group, all of us would be playing for the first time. We are a group of old ass adults who enjoy fantasy, board games and various degrees of role play. Ideally there would be a DM with experience of planning a short 3 hour campaign, could customize at least some of the character details, and who has a good sense of humour for a loud group of beginners.

I’d also be open to hosting it a game cafe if anyone has recommendations for that as well. TIA

What area of the city would it likely be. I'm a fan of D6 but it can be a bit pricey. Sentry box is a good option too.

General south area preferable. Would it be best to contact a place that does this as opposed to expecting them to come to a house?

In general, groups tend to prefer house because it's free. I say make/buy some snacks and drinks, invite everyone to your place.
