What we handle
Bonners Ferry is the Boundary County seat, and weddings here often mean water, pines and mountain views. Here is how your DJ and MC support the day.
Sound for riverside or open-air vows
Water echoes and wind carries voices away. Wireless microphones on the officiant and the couple make sure everyone hears the promises.
An MC for every moment
Your MC brings in the wedding party, cues the first dance, hands off the mic for toasts, and calls the cake and last song.
Music drawn from your lists
Add songs you love and songs you never want to hear. The DJ works your lists and watches the floor to fill the rest of the night.
Gear and power planning
Mountain cabins and riverside lodges may lack outlets. Sort out a power source early and tell your DJ so nothing is guessed at setup.
Adding a musician or more
A live musician for the ceremony or recessional, more lighting and other touches are available as you plan.

What affects the price
Bonners Ferry wedding quotes follow your timeline and setting. Get these details ready and the quote comes together faster.
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Wedding DJ & MC | $300 per hourHours of music, from ceremony sound to the last dance |
- Ceremony and reception locations: If vows happen on the river and dancing is at a lodge up the road, two setups may be needed, which affects the quote.
- How long you want music: Share when ceremony begins and when the last song should play, so the coverage time is clear from the start.
- Travel and load-in reality: The drive is near two hours through mountain passes. Give a venue address so setup time allows for the actual distance.
- Live music for ceremony or cocktail hour: Acoustic guitar, piano and/or vocals for the ceremony, cocktail hour or dinner hour are available as an add-on, performed for as many hours as you want.

Questions we get
Does the travel from Coeur d'Alene change the wedding price?
Yes, distance is part of every quote. Bonners Ferry is almost two hours from our base, so travel is built into your price. Ask us with your date and venue, and the full amount appears before you book.
Can we marry outside on the river or in a meadow?
Riverside and meadow ceremonies are beautiful. Confirm a level spot for the DJ gear, power or a generator nearby, and cover for equipment in case an afternoon storm rolls in. Share those details when you reach out.
Our families live in British Columbia. How do we handle that?
Cross-border families are common up here. Give us a sense of who is traveling from where and how late arrivals might come, so your DJ can pace the cocktail hour and the first dance around it.
What if it snows before the wedding?
Late fall and winter bring snow to the passes. Book early for October dates and later, and let your DJ know if roads were rough, so arrival times account for winter driving. A heated hall or lodge is ideal in cold months.
How much planning happens before the wedding day?
Four steps: Meet, Dream, Plan and Create. A Google Meet or phone call comes first, then no pressure to decide. Once you book, your must-play and do-not-play lists go into an online portal, and you send final requests shortly before the day.
