What we handle
Hayden's neighborhoods, lake homes and school calendar keep the Kootenai County party list varied. Here are the events a Dark Star DJ handles there.
Graduation and birthday parties
A yard or rented hall, a microphone for a toast, and a set that moves from the guest of honor's favorites to songs the older crowd knows.
School dances
Gyms and multipurpose rooms turn into a dance floor with moving lights. The DJ follows school rules on lyrics and volume.
Summer evenings outdoors
Backyard and lakeside parties need power close to the setup and a plan for wind, sun and the odd thunderstorm.
After-parties
When a reception wraps, a more casual spot with late-night food and its own music keeps the celebration rolling.
House shows
Sound sized for a living room or shop, then a DJ set that keeps people dancing once the performance wraps.
Holiday and reunion gatherings
Family reunions, retirement parties and winter holiday get-togethers, built around what this particular crowd likes to hear.

What affects the price
Party bookings in Hayden are billed by the hour, and the rest of the quote follows from these few details.
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Party & Event DJ | $300 per hourParties, school dances, house shows and after-parties, billed by the hour |
- Start and finish times: A birthday that runs all evening and a short school dance book very different hours. Share both ends of the night.
- Inside or out: Outdoor parties may need extra cable, a power source near the DJ and cover in case of rain.
- Crowd size: A bigger guest list or a wide yard can call for more speakers so the far corner hears the music too.
- Live music: Acoustic guitar, piano or vocals during a dinner hour is the only add-on, charged for each hour it is performed.
- Rules at the venue: Volume caps, end times and load-in limits shape the plan, so pass them along when you book.

Questions we get
Does a party in Hayden carry a travel charge?
Hayden is close to the Coeur d'Alene base, so the drive is short. Whether a travel charge applies depends on the location and the hours you book, so ask us when you share your party details and it will be clear in your quote before you commit.
Can you DJ a backyard party in a neighborhood?
Yes. A backyard needs a flat spot for the setup, an outlet within reach and somewhere dry if rain moves in. Check whether your neighborhood or homeowners association has quiet hours, and your DJ can keep the volume where it needs to be as the evening goes on.
What does a school need to send for a dance?
Send the date, school, expected number of students, start and end time and any rules about lyrics or volume. Staff can list off-limits songs in the planning portal, and the DJ keeps the floor moving within those limits all night.
Do you bring lights for a dance?
Yes. Dance-floor lighting adds moving, color-changing light over the dance area, and uplighting can wash walls in color. Both are part of what your DJ brings, so share the room layout and the lights are placed to fit the space.
Can we add live music to a party?
Yes. Acoustic guitar, piano or vocals can play during a dinner or cocktail hour, and the DJ takes over for the dancing. Live music is the only add-on and is billed for each hour it is performed. Mention it early so the timeline covers the handoff.
