Company details

What we handle

The Valley is big and full of neighborhoods, schools and event spaces. These are the gatherings a Dark Star party DJ is built for.

  • Graduation open houses

    Backyard or rented-hall parties for a new graduate, with upbeat background music early and dancing once friends arrive.

  • Milestone birthdays

    A set pulled from the decades your guests grew up with, a mic for the toast and lights that turn a rented room into a party.

  • Middle and high school dances

    A gym or commons with dance lights, music that follows the school's rules on lyrics and requests from students worked in.

  • Family reunions

    Summer gatherings in a park shelter or on family land, with music that works for kids, parents and grandparents together.

  • Post-wedding after-parties

    When the reception ends early, a second spot nearby keeps friends dancing with fresh music and lighting.

  • Color and moving light

    Color uplighting on the walls and moving light over the dance area are part of what your DJ brings.

  • Start and stop times: How long the music plays is the main driver, whether that is a short afternoon or a full evening.
  • Indoors or outside: Outdoor setups need nearby power, cover from sun or rain and sometimes extra speakers to carry across open ground.
  • Kind of gathering: A school dance, a reunion and an after-party ask for different pacing, volume and lighting.
  • Live music: Acoustic guitar, piano or vocals for a cocktail or dinner hour is the only add-on, billed for each hour performed.

Questions we get

Can you set up in a park shelter in the Valley?

Often, yes. Parks along the river and in the neighborhoods have picnic shelters, but rules on amplified sound and power differ. Confirm the reservation terms first, then share them so your DJ can plan the right setup.

Is there a travel charge for parties in the Valley?

Spokane Valley is about half an hour from Dark Star's Coeur d'Alene base, so the trip is short. For specifics on travel for your event, ask us when you send the date, the address and your hours.

Our school wants a winter formal. How do you handle song choices?

Organizers fill in a do-not-play list in the planning portal and add anything the school requires on lyrics or volume. Students can send requests ahead of time. On the night, the DJ follows both lists and keeps the floor moving.

Check my date

Can live music and a DJ share one party?

Yes. Acoustic guitar, piano or vocals can play during a cocktail or dinner hour, with the DJ handling everything before and after. Live music is billed for each hour it is performed, so let us know early and the timeline will cover both.

Do you bring earplugs for loud nights?

Yes. Dark Star DJs carry single-use earplugs for any guest who finds the music too loud, which helps at a packed school dance or a birthday with young kids in the room. Gear is also sanitized between events.
