“I genuinely don't know if there are enough words to express just how phenomenal DJ Ethan was for our wedding. What truly sets Ethan apart is who he is as a person. He is fun, personable, easygoing, and genuinely wonderful to be around. He fit the vibe of our wedding so perfectly that multiple guests actually thought he was a personal friend of ours. And honestly, by the end of it, that's exactly how he felt. When you hire vendors for your wedding, you hope they'll do a great job. Every once in a while, though, you find someone who becomes part of what makes the day so incredibly special. Ethan was that person for us. If you're considering hiring him, stop looking. Seriously. You will not find someone more dedicated to making your day everything you dreamed it would be. Ethan, THANK YOU for bringing your talent, your energy, your personality, and your heart to our wedding. You were absolutely exceptional, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better.”Marti A.“Ethan was the absolute best DJ! He kept the vibes high for the entire night. Highly recommend also getting Carson, the sax guy, to play with Ethan too. Our guests and wedding photographer said Ethan was the best DJ they've seen at a wedding.”Abigail H.“Ethan was 1000/10! The BEST hire for our wedding! Sometimes I feel like people forget how important a good DJ is to have, and he exceeded expectations. He was the best communicator since the beginning, professional, knowledgeable (really helped since we had no wedding planner), and SOOOO much fun. He made all the song choosing and wedding planning so simple. He dressed the vibe for our special day. Our wedding day flowed so well because of him, it would have been a struggle without him. He contributed to EVERY single important moment of our wedding from the ceremony, grand entrance dances etc. He WOW'd us with how well he did on playing songs, the dance floor was full the WHOLE night, when he announced last song, our friends and family were bummed. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Ethan for any event. I can't say enough good things.”Kaylee S.“Ethan was by far everything we could have asked for and then some! His music selection was top notch keeping our dance floor packed all night. No notes and I truly can't recommend him enough.”Devin S.“Our DJ, Ethan, did an AMAZING job leading up to and on the day of our wedding. The ceremony music flowed seamlessly, his fun and charismatic energy was infectious, and his ability to understand our guests helped him keep them on the dance floor all night! Our friends and family from all generations are still talking about how everyone had one of the most fun nights of their lives, and we give Ethan so much credit for that!”Ally R.“Ethan was an amazing DJ and MC for our wedding, and we genuinely couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, communication was easy, responses to emails were quick, and he handled everything so seamlessly that we never had to worry about a thing. He arrived looking great, set up completely on his own, and worked effortlessly with the rest of our vendor team to keep the entire day running smoothly. He has a great sense of humor and brought such a fun, relaxed energy to the day while still being incredibly organized and on top of timing. He did a fantastic job introducing us, handling the speeches, first dances, and MCing throughout the evening without ever feeling cheesy or overbearing. His timing and music choices were excellent, and he really understood the vibe we wanted. We didn't expect to have people dancing all night, but he somehow got so many guests on the dance floor, including a lot of our older family members during some of the more romantic sets. Guests had so much fun, and the whole evening felt effortless and joyful because of him. We'd absolutely recommend Ethan to anyone looking for a DJ who is professional, funny, easygoing, and truly great at what he does mixing the dance sets.”Jamie R.“Ethan absolutely crushed it at our wedding! As the groom in the wedding planning process, choosing the DJ was my main job, and he made me look great. The dance floor was packed all night, there wasn't a moment when people weren't dancing. He read the crowd perfectly, kept the energy high, and helped make our reception unforgettable. And we can't forget the ceremony music & audio, cocktail hour and as the MC… which he also crushed! We've had so many guests tell they've never danced so much or had more fun at a wedding. If you're looking for a wedding DJ, I can't recommend Ethan enough! Exceeded every expectation and made our day perfection!”Ryan R.“We had Ethan DJ our wedding back in December of 2023. He was absolutely incredible! He made sure to bring all the necessary equipment for our ceremony music, as well as the wedding reception. We didn't have to worry about a thing. He's the type to “figure it out” and find a solution on his own by asking the right people…which is huge on the day of your wedding!! I really appreciated how incredible he was throughout the whole wedding as well, always making sure to MC the in-between moments, and keeping the energy high all night! He goes above and beyond because he cares about the meaningful memories being made. We are so grateful he was our DJ! Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him.”Becky G.“Ethan was an outstanding DJ! He played a great variety of music that appealed to guests of all ages, ensuring everyone had something they knew and could dance to. His professionalism, energy, and ability to read the crowd made our reception unforgettable. If you're looking for a wedding DJ who will keep your guests entertained all night, Ethan is an excellent choice. Thank you for helping make our wedding so special!”Emma M.“Ethan was amazing to work with. From our calls and meetings to the wedding day itself, he made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. The music app was also such a great tool that helped keep everything organized throughout planning! Music plays such a huge role in a wedding, it's there from guest arrival all the way to the very last song of the night. Ethan kept our day flowing through every moment. From his music selections and announcements to keeping the dance floor packed and the energy high! My husband doesn't even like to dance, and he was out on the floor all night… which says a lot! We received so many compliments about Ethan throughout the night, and we're still hearing them! He made our day so much fun, it was everything we wanted and more, and he helped make that happen! If you're looking for a DJ, you found the one! Even more so if you have the chance to work with Ethan!”Savannah C.“Ethan was incredible to work with, we couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! He was attentive throughout the process, organized, and played the best music that had everyone on the dance floor! We loved working with him and really appreciated all the energy and craft he put into our big day.”Sydney C.“Our DJ Ethan was kind, professional, organized, and created a great atmosphere on the dance floor. We did not have a day of coordinator and Ethan really eased all our worries by giving clear instructions to guests at each transition of the day/night, and helping us move the evening along. Thank you so so much Ethan!!!”Christine B.“We had a phenomenal experience with DJ Ethan for our wedding. Very professional and accommodating to our requests and helping us to plan a perfect night on the dance floor. We could not be more happy with how the day turned out from his help. Every step of the process was taken care of by Ethan and worked very well with our Day of Coordinator.”Ethan S.“DJ Ethan ruled!!!”Abby D.“I genuinely don't know if there are enough words to express just how phenomenal DJ Ethan was for our wedding.

These comments are from couples I personally DJ'd and MC'd for, either with a previous entertainment company or under my WHIPLSH persona. They describe my work in the room, not a review of VibeVault as a company.
How I work
I love my job.
A wedding is the most important day two people get. I don't take that lightly, and I don't show up bored. Couples want vows that carry, a timeline that holds, and a dance floor that stays full. I know how to do that work. Gear helps. Lighting helps. Weeks of prep help. What you're really hiring is someone who has spent 10+ years and over 10,000 hours behind the decks, and who still loves being there.
VibeVault is me: owner, sole DJ, and MC. I've worked hundreds of weddings. I'm a music producer and a DJ. Honed in Los Angeles, based in Redmond, Oregon. I DJ weddings in Bend, Redmond, Sisters, Sunriver, and the rest of Central Oregon. You deal with one person, from the first text to last dance. That's how I like it.
The Vault Method
How I run the night.
02
Plan
A minute-by-minute timeline locked with your planner, photographer, and venue. Ceremony to last song. No dead air. No surprises you didn't ask for.
03
Execute
I DJ and MC the night myself. This is the part I love. Reading a room, calling the timing, keeping Grandma and the cousins on the same floor. Hundreds of weddings have taught me how a night actually moves.
Proof
They picked me. Then they danced.
