What we handle
Moscow is a university town and the Latah County seat, so it throws all kinds of parties, and Pullman sits just across the state line. Here is what a DJ with sound and lighting can bring to the ones you might be planning.
Graduation and send-off parties
Celebrate a grad with music from their campus years, a microphone for family toasts and lighting that turns a yard or rented room into a dance floor.
High school dances and formals
Dance-floor lighting changes how a gym feels. Hand over the school's rules and a do-not-play list, and the DJ works inside them.
House shows
A show in a living room or barn, then a DJ set to finish the night, with the sound planned for the size of the space.
Birthday parties
Start with the guest of honor's favorite songs, mix in what the crowd wants and keep it moving with lights and a DJ reading the floor.
Parties out on the Palouse
Open-air parties in farm country need power near the setup and a plan for sun, wind and rain. Confirm outlets and cover with the property owner first.
Lights, not gimmicks
Uplighting and dance-floor lighting add color and fun. You will not find skits, inflatables or electric slide routines here.

What affects the price
Moscow parties come in every size, so each quote follows the plan. Have these details ready and the first conversation goes further.
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Party & Event DJ | $300 per hourParties, school dances, house shows and after-parties, billed by the hour |
- Hours you want music: A graduation open house and a late dance party need very different amounts of DJ time. Note when guests arrive and when the last song should play.
- Location and travel: Moscow is south of the Coeur d'Alene home base. Your venue and town help plan the drive and setup.
- Inside or outside: A barn, tent or open field needs power within reach and cover for gear, which shapes the setup.
- Live music: Acoustic guitar, piano or vocals during a cocktail or dinner hour is the only add-on, billed for each hour it is performed.
- Crowd size: A packed house needs sound planned differently than a backyard gathering of close friends.

Questions we get
Can you DJ a graduation party for a University of Idaho grad?
Yes. A graduation party is a private party, and the music can center on the grad: songs from campus years, family favorites and a microphone for toasts. Put must-plays in the planning portal and add anything off-limits to the do-not-play list.
We are in Pullman, not Moscow. Can you still come?
Pullman sits just over the state line from Moscow, and Dark Star travels across the Pacific Northwest. Include your town and venue when you reach out, and ask us about travel so it and setup are part of the plan from the start.
How do you keep a school dance appropriate?
Ask your school for its rules on lyrics, volume and end time, then list off-limits songs on the do-not-play list. Your DJ uses that list as a guide and reads the students, keeping the floor full within the rules.
Can the party happen outside on farmland or open hills?
Outdoor events need a power source near the DJ setup and a plan for sun, wind and rain. Ask the landowner where outlets are, whether there is cover for the gear and whether any sound limits or neighbors affect your end time.
How many hours of music should we book?
Count from when guests arrive to when you want the last song. A birthday dinner with dancing after needs quieter music early and more energy later. If the venue sets an end time for amplified music, build your hours around it.
Is there a travel charge for a party in Moscow?
Moscow is a little under two hours south of Coeur d'Alene by road, and your DJ arrives early to load in and test sound. Travel depends on the address and your hours, so ask us when you send the date and it will be part of the quote.
