What we handle
Here are the kinds of parties a DJ with sound and lighting can carry around Coeur d'Alene, the lake and the rest of Kootenai County, and what to think about for each.
Milestone birthdays
Music built around the guest of honor, a microphone for toasts and lighting that turns a living room or rented hall into a dance floor.
Lake-house and backyard parties
Outdoor parties need power near the DJ setup and a plan for sun, wind and rain. Check noise rules and neighbors before you lock in an end time.
House shows
Sound scaled to a living room or backyard, lighting for the space and a DJ set that keeps the dancing going once the show wraps.
School dances
Share the school's rules on lyrics and timing up front. The do-not-play list keeps the night on track while the DJ keeps students on the floor.
After-parties
Keep a wedding or celebration going somewhere more casual once the main event ends, with its own music and late-night food.
Dance-floor lighting
Uplighting and dance-floor lighting give a party a look that matches the music. Your DJ brings both and sets them to fit the room.

Customer reviews & pricing
What affects the price
Party pricing follows your plan, not a menu. These details shape what your event needs and help your quote match the night you have in mind.
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Party & Event DJ | $300 per hourParties, school dances, house shows and after-parties, billed by the hour |
- Hours of music: A short birthday set and a party that runs from dinner to late night need different amounts of DJ time. Count from the first song to the last.
- Indoors or outdoors: An outdoor setup by the water or in a backyard needs a power source within reach and cover for gear if the weather shifts.
- Type of event: Private parties, school dances and house shows share one hourly rate. Corporate events have their own rate, so say which kind of night it is.
- Live music: The one add-on is acoustic guitar, piano or vocals through a cocktail or dinner hour, billed for each hour it is performed.
- Guest count: A bigger crowd needs sound that fills the room evenly, so share your guest count up front.

Questions we get
Can you DJ a backyard or lake-house party?
Yes, with a power source near the DJ setup and a plan for sun, wind and rain. Check with the property owner about outlets, cover and noise rules, and choose an end time that works for the neighbors as well as your guests.
What is a house show, and can you set one up?
A house show is a party or small performance in a home or private space. Dark Star brings sound scaled to the room and lighting for the space, billed by the hour like any party. Tell us the room size and guest count so the sound fits.
Will there be skits, games or inflatables?
No. Dark Star skips the skits, electric slide routines, pre-made playlists and inflatable props. The music comes from your own tastes and your lists, and the DJ reads the room from there, so the night feels like your party.
What happens after I reach out?
Every booking moves through Meet, Dream, Plan and Create. You meet your DJ by Google Meet, phone or FaceTime, talk through the vibe, add songs in the online planning portal and send final details through a requests form before the party.
Which lighting should I pick for a birthday?
Uplighting washes walls or trees in color and sets the mood from the moment guests walk in. Dance-floor lighting adds moving, color-changing light over the dancers. Your DJ brings both, so a birthday can start with soft color and switch to moving light when the dancing begins.
Is there a travel charge for a party in Coeur d'Alene?
Coeur d'Alene is Dark Star's home base, so parties in town and around the lake are close by. Travel can still depend on the address and your hours, so ask us when you send the date and the quote will show it.
