What we handle
From a backyard along the Columbia River to a rented hall across the water in Pasco, these are the events a DJ with sound and lights can carry.
Wedding after-parties
Once the reception ends, keep friends together somewhere more casual with late-night food and a fresh set of music.
Birthday bashes
From a teen's birthday to a milestone for a parent or grandparent, the night is built around the guest of honor's music and the crowd in the room.
School dances across the Tri-Cities
Kennewick, Pasco or Richland, the setup is the same idea: dance-floor lighting, the school's rules and a do-not-play list the DJ follows.
House shows
A show at home or in a private space gets sound sized to the room, then turns into a dance party when the set ends.
Outdoor parties by the river
Backyard and riverside parties need power near the DJ setup and a plan for sun, wind and rain. Sort out outlets and cover first.
Lighting that sets the mood
Uplighting adds color to walls and trees, and dance-floor lighting moves with the music. Your DJ brings both.

What affects the price
Tri-Cities parties are quoted one plan at a time. These details make the biggest difference, so gather them before you reach out.
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Party & Event DJ | $300 per hourParties, school dances, house shows and after-parties, billed by the hour |
- Length of the party: A quick after-party and an all-evening birthday need different DJ hours. Share your start time and when the music should end.
- Distance from Coeur d'Alene: The Tri-Cities are a longer trip from the home base. Your town and venue help plan the drive, load-in and setup.
- Kind of event: A school dance, a house show and a backyard party need different sound, lighting and pacing.
- Live music: Acoustic guitar, piano or vocals for a dinner or cocktail hour is the one add-on, billed for each hour it plays.
- Guest count: A bigger crowd in a bigger space needs speakers placed to keep the energy even, so share the headcount.

Questions we get
Do you cover Pasco and Richland as well as Kennewick?
Yes. Dark Star serves Kennewick, Pasco and Richland and travels across the Pacific Northwest from its Coeur d'Alene base. Share your town and venue when you reach out so travel and setup are part of the plan.
We want a party near the Columbia River. What should we check?
Find out where the nearest power source is, whether there is cover for sun, wind and rain, and whether amplified music has a volume limit or an end time. With those answers, the DJ setup can be planned around the space.
How do you keep the volume comfortable for everyone?
Loud music for hours can wear on some guests. Pointing speakers away from older guests' tables helps, and your DJ carries single-use earplugs for anyone who wants them. Gear is also sanitized between events.
Can you DJ the after-party once our reception wraps?
Yes. An after-party keeps the celebration going somewhere more casual, often with late-night food and its own music. Confirm the end time at the reception venue and any sound rules at the after-party spot so the handoff is smooth.
Out-of-town family is coming in for a milestone party. Any tips?
Relatives can fly into the airport in Pasco, close to Kennewick across the river. Leave a little room in the start time for late arrivals, and put family favorites on the must-play list so the music welcomes everyone in.
