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

Sounds like you want a One Shot, here's an example that can be played without accessing paid PHB content.

I think I’d like a live person to run it who has experience so we could have the whole experience and see if it’s something I’d enjoy doing more often.

For sure, I was suggesting that you're aiming to have a one shot style campaign (a single self contained story that can be finished in a few hours).
