What we handle
The year here swings between beach days and ski days, and the parties follow. These are the events Dark Star sets up for in Sandpoint.
Winter gatherings off the slopes
A rented lodge or a big cabin full of friends after skiing, with music that starts mellow and builds into dancing as the night goes on.
Lake-season reunions
Families and classmates who come back in summer, with songs from every era in the room and a microphone for toasts and stories.
School dances and proms
Gyms and multipurpose rooms lit with color and moving light. The DJ follows school rules and the do-not-play list.
Milestone birthdays
From a teen's big party to a parent's milestone, a set built around the guest of honor's favorite songs.
House shows
A show in a lodge or living room gets sound sized to the space, then the DJ turns it into a dance party without a gap.
Holiday parties
Short December days and snowy evenings make an indoor party with warm uplighting and a full floor the place to be.

Questions we get
How does travel work for a party in Sandpoint?
Sandpoint sits about an hour north of Coeur d'Alene, and it is inside the area Dark Star covers. Send the address, the date and the hours you want, and ask us how travel fits into the quote for your event. You see the full quote before you book.
Can you DJ a party at a cabin or rental after a ski day?
Yes, if the rental allows amplified music. Many vacation rentals set quiet hours, so check the rules first. Send the address, the parking situation and where power outlets are, and your DJ plans a setup that fits a living room or a great room.
What does a Bonner County school need to send for a dance?
The date, the hours, the expected number of students, the room and any rules on lyrics, volume or song requests. Add banned songs to the do-not-play list in the portal so your DJ has them well before the dance.
Can live music play before the DJ?
Yes. Acoustic guitar, piano or vocals can play through a cocktail or dinner hour, and the handoff to the DJ set is planned ahead so there is no long silence. Tell us how long each part should last and how big the room is.
We want a summer party outside. What should we think about?
Long summer evenings near the lake suit outdoor parties, but plan for power, a flat spot for the gear and cover in case of rain or hot afternoon sun. Check neighborhood noise rules and set an end time before you invite guests.
