What we handle
A Dalton Gardens wedding, in Kootenai County just north of Coeur d'Alene, can be a home affair: a lawn, a garden, a pasture or a tent beside the barn. Here is what your DJ and MC handle.
Power where there is no venue
A backyard or pasture rarely has outlets where the DJ needs them. Plan an extension run or a generator and a dry place for the gear.
Ceremony sound in open air
Without walls, voices drift away. Wireless microphones for the officiant and couple let guests at the back hear every word.
A host who keeps it moving
Your MC welcomes everyone, introduces the wedding party, cues toasts, cake and parent dances and calls the send-off.
Your music, your rules
Must-play favorites go in the online portal, and so does the list of songs you never want to hear. No skits or pre-made sets.
Lights after sundown
Uplighting on trees, a fence line or barn siding, plus dance-floor lighting so the party keeps going once it gets dark.
Neighbors and volume
Sound travels across open acreage. Check local noise rules and set the end time with them in mind.

Questions we get
Will travel cost extra for our Dalton Gardens wedding?
Dalton Gardens is right next door to the Coeur d'Alene base, so the trip is short. Any travel charge depends on your property and how long the music runs, so ask us when you send your date and it will be listed plainly in your quote.
We're marrying in our backyard. What should we have ready?
A level spot near power for the DJ setup, or a generator if outlets are far away, plus a canopy or covered corner in case of rain. Mark where the ceremony and the dance floor will be, and share the layout in the planning portal.
Will our neighbors hear the reception?
Probably, since sound travels across open acreage. Let neighbors know your plans, check any local noise rules and set the last song to match. Your DJ can point speakers toward the dance floor and away from property lines to keep the volume focused.
What if the weather turns on our outdoor wedding day?
Summer afternoons can bring heat or a quick storm, and late-season weddings turn cool once the sun sets. Have a tent, garage or shop as a fallback, and keep the gear area covered so the music can carry on.
Can we add a sparkler send-off and a champagne toast to the timeline?
Yes. Your MC can announce the toast, hand the microphone to whoever is speaking and gather guests for the send-off at the end of the night. Add both to your timeline in the planning portal so the music and announcements line up.
