What we do in Pullman
How Dark Star works in a Cougar town
Pullman grew up around Washington State University, and the city still keeps time by the academic year: students arriving in late summer, home football weekends in the fall, commencement in the spring. Those weekends tighten hotel rooms and venue calendars, so hosts here often plan around them. The crew drives down from Coeur d'Alene for every booking.
Planning happens long before anyone loads the van. You talk with your DJ by Google Meet, phone or FaceTime, then fill in song requests and a list of songs to skip in the planning portal, which helps when half the family lives on the west side of the state.
Pullman hosts everything from campus formals to farm-family weddings. Match your event to one of these, then shape the details together.
Wedding DJ & MC
Wireless mics for the vows, a host who keeps the reception on schedule, and dancing built around songs the two of you picked.
Party & Event DJ
Hourly music for birthdays, reunions, graduation open houses and student group dances, with the set steered by your guests.
Corporate Event DJ
Low dinner music, a microphone for awards or remarks and announcements on cue for department, research or company gatherings.
Lighting for campus rooms
Uplighting softens a plain ballroom or banquet hall, and moving dance-floor light tells everyone it is time to get up.

- Calendar timing: Dates on commencement or home game weekends squeeze venue and hotel schedules, so send your date early.
- Hours of music: Say when guests arrive and when the final song should play, including any dinner break or program.
- Room and gear: A large ballroom needs more speakers and light than a backyard, so share the room and the expected crowd when you ask.
- Drive from Coeur d'Alene: Pullman is a little over two hours south of the home base, so the venue address helps plan load-in and arrival.

Questions we get
Is Pullman too far from Coeur d'Alene for you to travel?
No. Pullman sits about seventy miles south of Coeur d'Alene, a little over two hours by road, and Dark Star plans the drive into every booking there. For travel costs on your date and at your venue, ask us when you send your request.
Should we steer clear of WSU home football weekends?
Not necessarily, but plan ahead. Hotel rooms and restaurants fill fast when the Cougars play at home, and commencement weekend in spring is just as busy. If your date overlaps, reserve guest lodging early and give your DJ the venue's load-in window.
Which service fits a student organization dance?
A club formal or residence hall dance fits the Party & Event DJ service, billed by the hour. Organizers pass along any campus rules on volume and end times, add songs to skip, and the DJ reads the floor from there.
Can the DJ run a department awards night?
Yes, that is a Corporate Event DJ booking: background music through dinner, a wireless microphone for presenters and short music cues between honorees. If the evening ends with dancing, dance-floor lighting can come along too.
What if snow hits on our winter date?
Winter storms can slow the drive south, so send your DJ the full timeline early and keep a venue contact handy for load-in. Guests coming from Spokane or the west side should plan their own travel with the forecast in mind.
