Hi, I’m Smith - the DJ behind Crate & Vinyl Entertainment. I’m a vinyl-only DJ based in Los Angeles, specializing in weddings and private events.
My approach is simple: thoughtful music curation, smooth transitions, and an energy that fits the room without overpowering it. I work closely with each client to understand their taste and create a soundtrack that feels personal, warm, and effortless.
Whether it’s an intimate ceremony, cocktail hour, or a full evening reception, I bring a clean, professional setup and a calm, attentive presence - so you can relax and enjoy the moment.
For couples looking to incorporate live music, acoustic guitar and vocal performances are available for ceremonies or cocktail hour upon request.
- Access to a standard power outlet near the setup area
- A small, flat space for a turntable-based DJ setup
- Shelter from direct sun or rain for outdoor events
- Reasonable load-in access for equipment setup
Rather than a fixed set list, I curate vinyl selections live. A typical flow may include:
• Warm soul, jazz, and folk during arrivals and cocktail hour
• Classic rock, Motown, and upbeat Americana as the night opens up
• Tasteful, timeless dance records when the energy calls for it
Every event is shaped by the room, the timeline, and the couple’s preferences.
Rooted in vinyl culture, classic records, and a love of timeless songs that bring people together.
I’m happy to coordinate with your venue or planner in advance to make sure the setup fits comfortably within the space.
