What we handle
From downtown, where the river and falls run past the old world's fair grounds, out to the neighborhoods, these are the kinds of events Dark Star works in Spokane.
Wedding after-parties
When the reception wraps, an after-party downtown or near the hotel keeps the night going with its own music and late-night food.
Birthdays and anniversaries
A set that runs through the decades your guests love, a microphone for a toast and lights that make a rented room feel like a club.
School dances
A gym or cafeteria transforms with dance-floor lighting. Your DJ follows the school's rules and the do-not-play list while keeping students dancing.
House shows
A show at home or in a private space gets sound sized to the room, then turns into a dance party once the set ends.
Dance-floor lighting
Moving and color-changing light over the dance area gives any space energy, and uplighting adds color to walls and columns.
Private parties of every kind
Retirement parties, reunions, holiday get-togethers. If people want to dance, the music can be built around them.

- Type of event: A school dance, a house show and a private party each call for different sound, lighting and pacing.
- Headcount and room: More guests or a bigger room need speakers placed to keep the energy even across the space.

Questions we get
Can you DJ an after-party once a downtown reception ends?
Yes. An after-party carries the celebration somewhere more casual after the reception, often with late-night food and its own music. Many venues set an end time for amplified music, so check the rules at both locations before you plan the handoff.
Do you work events in Spokane or only Coeur d'Alene?
Both. Dark Star is based in Coeur d'Alene and works events in Spokane, Moscow and the Tri-Cities, plus the wider Pacific Northwest. Spokane is a short drive west on the interstate, so it is part of the regular service area. For travel to your address, ask us when you send the date and it will be in your quote.
Can you add live music to a DJ set?
Yes. Acoustic guitar, piano or vocals can play during a cocktail or dinner hour, and the DJ takes over for the dancing. It is the only add-on and is billed for each hour performed. Share the room size and how long each part should run.
Our school is planning a dance. What should we send?
Send the date, the school and town, how many students you expect, the hours of the dance and any rules on lyrics or volume. Add banned songs to the do-not-play list so the DJ has them before the night.
Do I need to bring my own playlist?
No. You share a must-play list and a do-not-play list in the online planning portal, and your DJ builds the night from those and your tastes. The DJ reads the crowd for everything else, so nothing rides on a pre-made playlist.
