What we handle
Weddings around Cheney often mix family land and pine-edged fields with campus memories. Here is how your DJ and MC handle the pieces that tend to matter here.
Vows carried over open ground
Wind can sweep across the open country outside town. Wireless microphones for the officiant and the two of you keep the vows clear for guests in the back row.
An emcee who keeps time
Your MC announces the wedding party, cues the first dance and parent dances, passes the microphone for toasts and calls the cake cutting.
Game-day and campus throwbacks
An Eagles fight song or the track from a tailgate you still talk about can go on your must-play list. Your DJ drops it in when the room is ready to cheer.
Your no-go songs stay off
Anything on your do-not-play list stays off for the whole night. There are no pre-made playlists, staged skits or line-dance routines.
Light for barns and halls
Uplighting can color wooden beams or a hall's plain walls, and dance-floor lighting takes over once evening comes.

What affects the price
Your Cheney wedding quote is built around your own day. A handful of details shape it most, so keep them close when you reach out.
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Wedding DJ & MC | $300 per hourHours of music, from ceremony sound to the last dance |
- Ceremony and reception span: Tell us when guests arrive, when vows begin and when the last dance should end. Longer days mean more time on site.
- Where the vows happen: A ceremony on open ground away from the reception may need a second sound setup and a power source nearby.
- Size of the guest list: More guests can mean more speakers, so the far tables hear the toasts as clearly as the head table does.
- 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
Is there a travel fee for a wedding near Cheney?
Cheney is a little over an hour's drive from Coeur d'Alene, and the wedding quote reflects your venue and schedule. For the travel details on your date, ask us when you send your venue and timeline.
Our wedding lands on a big university weekend. What should we plan for?
Large campus weekends such as commencement can make hotel rooms harder to find, so check your date against the school calendar early. Tell your DJ about any timing pressure on guests so the reception can flex around late arrivals.
We want an outdoor ceremony in the country. What should we think about?
Plan for power near the DJ setup, shade on hot afternoons and cover for gear if a shower rolls in. Summer evenings out on the scabland can turn breezy, so wireless microphones help the vows carry.
Can the dancing work for college friends and older relatives at once?
Yes. Your must-play list sets the anchor songs, and your DJ watches who is on the floor and shifts between eras to keep each group dancing.
How does planning work after we book?
Booking follows Meet, Dream, Plan and Create. Meet your DJ by Google Meet, phone or FaceTime, talk through the feel of the day, build your song lists in the online portal and send last details through a requests form.
