Straight answers.
The questions couples actually ask before they hire me. I'll answer them the same way I run a night: straight.
Me. I'm Ethan, WHIPLSH. VibeVault is owner-operated. I am the sole DJ and the sole MC. You inquire with me, plan with me, and I run your night. I wouldn't want it any other way. I love running a wedding from the first song to the last.
The wedding day is $3,000. Speakers, lighting, energy, and weeks of prep are included. What you are mostly paying for is 10+ years and over 10,000 hours behind the decks, hundreds of weddings, and a DJ who knows how to read a room. Travel is free within an hour of Redmond. After that it's $100 per 30 minutes, measured one-way. I'll put it in writing before you put a dollar down.
Dates are limited because it's only me. I want to work with couples who care about how their people feel. If that's you, we'll get along.
Yes. Locked in writing. You'll also have VIBO, the wedding planning app I use with every couple. Build playlists, move the timeline around, and leave notes so I know exactly how you want the day to feel. The more specific you get, the better I can run it. I also ask about family dynamics (the uncle who will request something you hate, the grandmother who needs one song). That's not extra. That's how you run a wedding well.
Both, and I like both. Announcements, grand entrance, cake, bouquet, last dance. Warm, clear, never corny. Hosting and mixing together is how the day stays easy for you.
No. I can manage the timeline and coordinate with your vendor team behind the scenes so the day still runs. Have a coordinator? Even better. I partner as their helper so you get a day that stays on time.
Then I haven't done my job yet. I open with songs your people already know, watch who hits the floor, and build from there. Hundreds of weddings have taught me how rooms actually move. Getting a packed floor is one of my favorite parts of the night.
Yes. Travel is free within an hour of Redmond. After that, measured one-way, it's $100 every 30 minutes beyond the first 60. Central Oregon is home. I regularly cover the broader Pacific Northwest. Fees are quoted up front. No surprises.
Ceremony: professional sound equipment, music, plus lapel and wireless handheld mics. Cocktail hour: professional sound equipment and music. Reception: professional sound equipment, dance lighting, music, and handheld wireless microphones. Live mixing. A DJ booth, and redundant backups. If something fails, the night doesn't.
Open the enquiry form. I respond within 24 hours, hop on a short call, and if it's a fit you get a contract and a retainer from me. Prime Saturdays go first. If your date is already held, I'll tell you immediately.
Yes. That's what the Mixes page is for. Mixing is the work I love. I want you sure before you hire me.
Still deciding? Ask me the hard question.
I'll answer it in 24 hours. If I'm not the right hire, you'll hear that too.
