DJ Lauren V

Lauren is a Minneapolis-based DJ, aspiring music producer, and lifelong musician originally from Osceola, Wisconsin. After moving to Minneapolis in 2025 to immerse herself in the city’s thriving arts community, she quickly found a home in the local EDM scene, developing a passion for bass music and techno. Classically trained in piano from the age of four and self-taught on guitar, Lauren’s musical journey spans everything from wedding performances to underground dance floors.

Today, DJing is her full-time focus while she continues learning music production, writing original EDM tracks, and even working on a goth metal song inspired by Type O Negative. When she’s not digging through SoundCloud for her next favorite track, you’ll find her hiking, cooking, writing, painting, visiting art museums, or curating playlists. She also speaks a little Spanish and enjoys connecting with people from all walks of life. At home, she’s kept company by her cat, Lava (“Sir”), and her parakeet, Cher.

Whether she’s behind the decks or creating new music, Lauren is driven by a love of connection, creativity, and unforgettable musical experiences.

Lauren was super accommodating during our planning meeting and made sure that everything we talked about was carried out during our ceremony and reception. During the reception she did an amazing job engaging the crowd and our dance floor was packed for the entire evening until the last song played.

Kaila & Blayne – Minneapolis Event Center – Lauren V

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding night Lauren was the absolute best! Each step of planning and any questions we had were quickly answered by Lauren . The online DJ planner that Instant Request offered was SO helpful in choosing songs for our night! The music from the ceremony to creating custom song mixes for the father daughter dance to the last song of the night were perfect. Lauren was engaging with our guests and knew how to get and keep everyone out in the dance floor having a great time. We are so happy we had Lauren as our DJ and were able to work with Instant Request!

Margaret & David – Pinewood Weddings And Events – Lauren V

Instant Request (specifically DJ Lauren ) did an INCREDIBLE job! Wow, we were blown away by our DJ both during the ceremony and the reception. Lauren did an incredible job coordinating with the wedding party and the officiant and keeping the evening on track. I especially appreciated that she went out of her way to make sure the folks giving speeches or walking in knew what they were doing. She followed our music taste and guests' song requests perfectly. We also had silent disco for our wedding and she (along with the venue) made this such a seamless transition! Couldn't have asked for a better DJ. The dance floor was packed the entire night! Thanks so much!

Jillian & Brian – Minnesota Valley Country Club – Lauren V

We had the pleasure of working with DJ Lauren for our wedding. She was so easy to work with. We gave her a few ideas of some of the music we like and she took it from there. She read the room really well and kept people on the dance floor. Thank you so much Lauren !
