About

A BOUTIQUE DJ COLLECTIVE

Here at Vintage Vinyl Events, our focus is curating soundtracks for one-of-a-kind weddings and extraordinary events.

Musically, we draw on soul, jazz, funk, disco, hip hop, r'n'b and rock & roll to create bespoke set-lists for every event we're involved with. We spin the music you want to hear and we work hard to understand your taste and musical preferences. We believe in the power of music & the power of a killer dance party. Our attention to detail and commitment to collaboration motivates us to exceed the typical DJ experience.

We have two outposts: One on the West Coast in Portland, OR and our second location serves Europe from Annecy, France. We are always willing to discuss travel in the U.S., Europe or Beyond...

Palmer is The Bomb!

We worked with Palmer for our event and he did an awesome job listening to the vision we wanted and making it come true with a great mix of old school R&B/hip hop music! This company worked seamlessly and made the day! Thanks Josh and Palmer!

People tell me they have never seen a bride dance as much as I did on my wedding night! Seriously, the dance party was the best. DJ Freaky Outtty (Palmer Auty) killed it. He and Josh were also so kind, responsive, and really wanted to make sure that we had exactly what we needed and wanted for both our ceremony and reception. We are pretty eclectic in our music tastes and he was able to blend a lot of different genres together at the right points in the evening. Great service and I highly recommend!!!

It's almost a week later and my legs are still sore. I tore the pants on my suit. That's how much Palmer (aka DJ Freaky Outy) brought the party. We had a full dance floor all night as Palmer beautifully balanced different eras and brought in the crowd favorite bangers. Palmer really took time to listen to us and figure out what type of music and vibe we were feeling for the night. It came out perfectly and we're incredibly thankful for that. Not only was the music phenomenal, Palmer also helped some fun ideas we were kicking around come to life. Palmer is incredibly fun, professional, responsive, and a wizard on the wax.

DJ Freaky Outty (aka Palmer) handled our wedding a couple weeks back, and we couldn't be happier. He did an absolutely fantastic job from beginning to end -- coming out to our venue months in advance to ensure he had the right equipment, juggling last-minute changes to the processional songs (and the venue itself), balancing conflicting requests from different wedding guests, etc. We couldn't have asked for someone more friendly and accommodating. And, of course, he killed it behind the turntables, seamlessly transitioning from motown to 90s hip-hop and back again over the course of the evening. We'd highly recommend Vintage Vinyl to anyone looking for a quality DJ and, equally as important, a good person to work with.

Palmer made magic happen on the dance floor at our wedding! All of our guests were out cutting the rug and we heard from so many family and friends how much they enjoyed the music throughout the day. He was able to find the perfect music to set the tone all evening long and we couldn't be happier.

Look no further. Vintage Vinyl Events is amazing! DJ Palmer Auty had me dancing for nearly six hours straight. My husband and I both really value good music. My husband, as someone who loves electronic music and thus some of the best DJs around, was a little skeptical of hiring DJ. These ARE NOT your average wedding DJs. He was truly mixing and not just playing a playlist off of his computer. His transitions and mixes were incredible and seamless. He let the music speak for itself. Also, he looked like he was having just as much fun as any of us dancing on the dance floor.

We booked Vintage Vinyl for our wedding and couldn't have been any happier with the outcome of their services! We are both very picky when it comes to wedding music and DJ Freaky Outty absolutely KILLED IT for us! Our guests didn't stop dancing the entire night and I had several people ask who are DJ was because he was that good. Vintage Vinyl was extremely easy to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process and I'd highly recommend them for anything!

Of my wedding priorities, dancing and music were in the top 3 critical. I met with several DJs and while each of them were great options, only Joshua made me feel 100% confident that I would be dancing until 1am with my friends. We were very interested in his unique style and the fact that Vintage Vinyl brings real records to their events whenever possible. I never felt Joshua was treating me like another Bride in his summer booking list - he listened, brought up suggestions of songs and is seriously good at his craft. He has excellent transitions between songs, he watches the crowd to gauge their reaction and the fact that he brings actual records with their classic sound is a subtle detail we loved. Leading up to the event, we went through countless song lists, bounced ideas off one another on the feel we wanted at each stage of our event and he helped us narrow it down to a top 10 must playlist. This process really helped me trust that he had our Must Plays and the vibe we wanted, but let him have creative control to take it from there and he delivered day of in epic fashion.

One of the concerns my mother had was the music being too loud during cocktail hour and the reception. She made a point to tell me that Joshua kept it very reasonable during these times and then once the dancing started, he brought up the energy and sound I had wanted to keep everyone excited. He definitely got the Mom seal of approval.

Joshua's quiet temperament was decidedly reassuring to me and day of our wedding he was on the mic directing our guests to the next activity with no qualm.

Joshua was professional, attentive, and just a great vendor to work with. He handled everything online so payments were easy and signing contracts a breeze. He was very responsive to email too. I'm keeping his card in my book for my 30th birthday and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an awesome DJ!

My husband and I were looking for a non-traditional DJ for our wedding, so when we read about Josh at Vintage Vinyl, we were so excited to find someone who aligned with exactly what we wanted - vinyl records and a wealth of knowledge on our favorite music. Josh worked with us over the course of a year to make sure we had everything we wanted for our big day. He was so easy to work with, and made sure everything was just perfect. From beginning to end, the music at our wedding was absolutely stellar. It was the best dance party I have ever had the pleasure of attending, and our guests had so much fun. I cannot thank Josh enough for his part in the best day of our lives. We had an absolute blast, and are so thankful for his talent and professionalism!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
