What we handle
Whether you marry in Kennewick, Pasco or Richland, these are the jobs a wedding DJ and MC can take on so you can stay present with your guests.
Vows guests can actually hear
Riverside and garden ceremonies lose voices to open air. Wireless microphones for the officiant, vows and readings carry the moment to the back row.
Warm, unhurried MC work
Entrances, toasts, the cake cutting and parent dances, announced clearly and in order, in a tone that sounds like a friend rather than a game-show host.
Dinner music that leaves room to talk
Softer sets while guests eat and catch up, built from your tastes, then a lift in tempo when the dance floor opens.
Late-night energy without gimmicks
Dark Star skips skits, inflatable props and canned routines. Your DJ builds the dance floor from your lists and the mood of the room.
Color and glow for the reception
Uplighting bathes walls or trees in color, and dance-floor lighting adds movement after sunset, when the party picks up.
Comfort for older guests
Speakers pointed away from grandparents' tables help, and your DJ carries single-use earplugs for anyone who finds the music too loud.

What affects the price
Your quote for a Tri-Cities wedding follows the details of your day. Gather these before you reach out and the conversation moves faster.
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Wedding DJ & MC | $300 per hourHours of music, from ceremony sound to the last dance |
- Hours on the clock: The span from ceremony music to the last dance sets the core of your quote. Include cocktail hour and dinner in the count.
- Travel and setup: The Tri-Cities sit farther from the Coeur d'Alene home base. Your venue and town help plan the drive, load-in and setup time.
- Ceremony and reception sites: Vows in one spot and dinner in another means separate sound for each. Tell us whether both happen in the same place.
- 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.
- Size of the crowd: More guests in a bigger space can call for extra speakers and lighting so the whole room hears and sees the night.

Questions we get
Do you come down to the Tri-Cities from Coeur d'Alene?
Yes. Dark Star is based in Coeur d'Alene, serves Kennewick, Pasco and Richland, and travels across the Pacific Northwest. Share your venue and town early so the drive, setup and load-in fit your timeline.
Our ceremony is near the Columbia River. What should we confirm with the venue?
Ask where the closest power source is, what cover exists for sun, wind and rain, and whether amplified sound has limits or an end time. Open water and wide-open space carry voices away, so wireless microphones for the officiant and vows are worth planning in.
Guests are flying in. Anything we should plan for?
Out-of-town guests can fly into the airport in Pasco, just across the Cable Bridge from Kennewick. Build a little cushion into the ceremony start and share your timeline in the planning portal. If guests want to keep celebrating, an after-party with its own music can follow the reception.
Will you play the songs our families want too?
Add family requests to your must-play list and anything off-limits to your do-not-play list. Your DJ treats both as a guide and reads the crowd for everything else, so grandparents and college friends each get their moment.
How do we send final details before the wedding?
Close to the date, you send your final details through a requests form, covering things like introductions, the order of toasts and any last songs. That keeps your DJ and MC working from one current plan.
