What we handle
Weddings on the land your family farms
Around Genesee, a wedding might take place on the family farm, in a church in town or in a community hall. Guests often come from Moscow, Lewiston and the towns between, since Genesee sits about halfway between the two cities.
Farm calendars matter. Spring work and late-summer harvest keep families busy, so couples from farm families sometimes plan around them. Wind sweeps across open ground in any season, which is worth remembering for an outdoor ceremony.
Here is what your DJ and MC look after at a Genesee wedding.
Sound across open ground
Wireless mics carry the vows over wind and wide-open fields, with processional music timed to the walk.
A host for every moment
Your MC announces the wedding party, the first dance, parent dances, toasts and cake, keeping the evening on track.
Your music, your rules
Add favorite songs and a skip list in the portal; there are no pre-made playlists, skits or group routines.
Light for barns and halls
Uplighting along beams or walls and dance-floor lights after dark make a farm building feel like a reception hall.
Live music for ceremony or reception
Acoustic guitar, piano and/or vocals are available for ceremony, cocktail hour or reception, performed for as many hours as you want.

Questions we get
What does travel to a Genesee wedding look like?
Genesee is nearly eighty miles south of Coeur d'Alene, roughly two and a quarter hours by road, and travel is planned into each wedding there. The amount depends on your date and venue, so ask us when you send the details.
Can we get married outdoors on our farm?
Yes. Plan for wind across open fields, a shaded spot for guests on a sunny afternoon and a rain backup in a barn or shop. Your DJ needs power within reach of the setup, and a generator works if outlets are far away.
Can we honor the grandparents who farmed this land?
Yes. Your MC can announce a dedication dance, a toast to family or a moment of remembrance at whatever point you choose. Note it in the planning portal with any song and names, and the DJ handles the timing.
How should we help guests find a rural venue?
Rural sites can be hard to find after dark, so post signs at key turns, send directions with landmarks and give guests a buffer before the ceremony. Your DJ can play soft music as people arrive and settle in.
What music works for a mixed-age farm crowd?
A blend usually works: classic country and oldies for grandparents, current hits for cousins and your own favorites throughout. Fill the portal with requests from both families, and the DJ watches the floor to know what to play next.
