Company details

What we handle

Clarkston weddings often split a crowd between two states and lean on outdoor settings. These are the pieces your DJ and MC handle.

  • Vows over the sound of the river

    A breeze off the water and an open lawn can bury soft voices. Wireless microphones bring the words to every guest.

  • A crowd from both sides of the line

    Friends from Washington and family from Idaho may not know each other yet. Your MC makes introductions feel natural and keeps the evening moving.

  • Dinner music at conversation level

    Soft music during the meal lets tables talk, then your DJ raises the energy as plates clear and the floor opens.

  • Lists that keep the night yours

    Name the must-hear songs and the ones you never want played in the planning portal. No pre-made playlist, no skits, no line-dance routines.

  • Color after sundown

    Uplighting on trees, tent poles or walls and dance-floor lighting give an outdoor reception its glow once darkness falls.

What affects the price

Clarkston weddings are quoted one at a time. These factors move the number most, so gather them before reaching out.

JobTypical range
Wedding DJ & MC $300 per hourHours of music, from ceremony sound to the last dance
  • From ceremony to send-off: Coverage that starts with the processional and ends with the exit runs longer than reception-only music.
  • Separate ceremony site: If vows happen in one spot and dinner in another, a second sound setup or extra time between them is needed.
  • Venue logistics: Parking, load-in distance and any music curfews shape setup. Include the venue so the drive from Coeur d'Alene is planned too.
  • 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

How is travel handled for a Clarkston wedding?

Your DJ comes down from Coeur d'Alene, roughly two and three-quarter hours by road, and arrives early for setup and a sound check. Travel varies with the venue and schedule, so ask us when you share your date and it will be part of the quote.

We want the ceremony outside in summer. Any advice?

Valley summers are hot and dry. Look at a late afternoon or early evening start, shade for guests and a covered spot with power for the gear. Have a nearby indoor space in mind in case of wind or a passing storm.

Our families have very different music tastes. Will that work?

Yes. Put each side's favorites on the must-play list and anything that would empty the floor on the do-not-play list. Your DJ moves between eras and styles while watching who is dancing, so grandparents and college friends both get their turn.

Can a live musician play our processional?

Live ive music is available for ceremony, cocktail hour or dinner. A guitarist or other player can cover the walk down the aisle, then your DJ takes over for cocktail hour and the reception. Mention it early so power and timing are planned.

When do we hand over final details?

As the wedding gets close, you send the requests form with names, timeline and special moments. That is the Create step, and your DJ and MC build the day from it, alongside the song lists you kept in the portal.
