Company details

What we handle

A university town has its own rhythm of parties: end-of-term celebrations, fall reunions and plenty of birthdays in between. These are the events Dark Star covers in Cheney.

  • Graduation open houses

    Easy background music while relatives arrive, a microphone for a family toast and a dance set once the cake is cut.

  • Student and club dances

    Organizers keep the do-not-play list and the end time; your DJ keeps students moving with lighting that makes a rented room feel bigger.

  • Alumni and homecoming reunions

    Songs from the years your classmates spent on campus, mixed with newer tracks, so former roommates find their way back to the floor.

  • Birthdays and milestone parties

    From a coming-of-age birthday to a retirement send-off, the music follows the guest of honor's tastes.

  • House shows and home parties

    Sound scaled to a living room or garage, lighting that fits the space and a DJ set that keeps friends dancing late.

  • Lighting for gyms and halls

    Moving light over the floor and color on the walls turn a gym, clubhouse or community room into a real party space.

What affects the price

Party bookings in Cheney are billed by the hour, and a few details shape the rest of the quote. Have these handy when you reach out.

JobTypical range
Party & Event DJ $300 per hourParties, school dances, house shows and after-parties, billed by the hour
  • Start and end times: An afternoon open house and a dance that runs late are priced on different hours. Tell us both ends of the night.
  • Kind of party: A student dance, a reunion and a house show each need different sound, light and pacing.
  • Space and headcount: A gym full of students needs wider speaker coverage than a living-room crowd does.
  • Live music: Acoustic guitar, piano or vocals for a dinner or cocktail hour is the only add-on, billed for each hour performed.

Questions we get

Do you add a travel fee for parties in Cheney?

Cheney sits west of Spokane, a little over an hour's drive from Coeur d'Alene, and travel depends on the venue and the hours you book. To learn what applies to your party, ask us with the address and date.

Can a student club book a dance with you?

Yes. Send the date, the room, the expected crowd and the end time, plus any lyric or volume rules the group follows. The organizer controls the do-not-play list, and the DJ handles the rest live.

Graduation season gets busy. When should we reach out?

Commencement weekends can bring many parties at once, so earlier is safer. Send your date and hours as soon as you know them, and you hear back within a day with pricing and availability.

Will the music suit a mixed crowd of students and parents?

Your must-play list covers the songs the guest of honor loves, and the DJ reads the room for the rest, moving between eras so both generations get a turn on the floor.

Do we need to hand over a playlist?

No. Use the online planning portal for must-play and do-not-play songs and let your DJ build the night from your tastes. There are no stock playlists, skits or inflatable props.
