Aaron Vincent LaMorte at the AVL sound station

Owner · Entertainer · Creative Director

Meet Aaron.

Aaron Vincent LaMorte is the A, the V and the L. A DJ, musician and sound engineer with more than 15 years in entertainment, he started AVL in 2009 with roots in the Bay Area. Today he's based in Grass Valley, designing nights from Sacramento to Tahoe to the coast.

He's the artistic visionary behind every AVL event: the one who builds the soundtrack, designs the light, and then steps behind the booth to run the night himself.

The approach

It starts with your story, not a song list.

Couples are regularly surprised that Aaron wants to know how they met before he talks music. Then they hear what he does with it. On the night, he reads the room, pivots fast, and keeps every age on the floor.

Fast facts

Aaron, unplugged.

The eggplant faux-hawk

He once dyed his hair to match a couple's wedding colors.

Secret sound bites

He's been known to sneak a couple's private sound bite into the dance mix. Listen closely.

The Halloween wedding

Yes, he's scored one. Eccentric is part of the job description.

Musician first

DJ, musician and sound engineer. He hears a room the way a player does.

Willy Wonka energy

One couple called him “the Willy Wonka of music mixology.” We think it fits.

The pros' pick

A wedding pro with almost 10 years in the industry chose Aaron for her own wedding.

Tell him how you met.

He'll take it from there.
