What we do in Kennewick
Serving Kennewick and the Tri-Cities on the Columbia River
Kennewick sits in Benton County on the Columbia River, across from Pasco and linked to it by the Ed Hendler Bridge, known locally as the Cable Bridge. With Pasco and Richland, it makes up the Tri-Cities, and Dark Star Entertainment works events across all of them from its home base in Coeur d'Alene.
Guests flying in use Tri-Cities Airport in Pasco. Since your DJ travels in for the event, share the date, venue and timeline early through the planning portal, so setup and load-in fit your venue's rules.
Match your event to a service below. Each one starts with meeting your DJ and building music from your tastes, not a pre-made playlist.

Ceremony and reception in a single plan: introductions, toasts, the first dance, cake cutting and dancing through the last song.

Corporate Event DJ

- Live music hours: Acoustic guitar, piano or vocals for the ceremony, cocktail hour or dinner hour is the one add-on, billed for each hour performed.

Questions we get
Do you serve Pasco and Richland too?
Yes. Dark Star Entertainment works events across the Tri-Cities, including Kennewick, Pasco and Richland, and travels across the Pacific Northwest. Include the venue and town in your request so the drive, setup and load-in are part of the plan.
How do I meet my DJ if you are based in Coeur d'Alene?
You meet your DJ by Google Meet, phone or FaceTime, so distance does not slow planning down. After that, you work through must-play and do-not-play songs in an online planning portal and send final details through a requests form before the event.
Which service fits a company holiday party?
A holiday party fits Corporate Event DJ, billed by the hour. It covers quiet music during dinner or networking, a microphone for speeches and awards, and announcements kept to your schedule. Dance-floor lighting is part of the setup if the night ends with dancing.
What should my venue confirm before the event?
Ask about the end time for amplified music, any volume limit and the load-in rules. For outdoor events, confirm a power source near the DJ setup and cover for sun, wind or rain. Share it all during planning so the setup fits.
