Company details

What we handle

Weddings in and around Lapwai often gather family and friends from across the region, in halls, on family land or at venues in nearby Lewiston. Here is what your DJ and MC handle.

  • Clear sound for the ceremony

    Wireless microphones for the officiant, readers and the couple, so every word carries in a hall or outdoors in the creek valley.

  • Names spoken correctly

    List the wedding party, family members and honored guests with pronunciation notes in your requests form, and your MC introduces each one with care.

  • A program kept on schedule

    Entrances, blessings, toasts, parent dances and the cake cutting, each announced in the order you set.

  • Music from your must-play list

    Songs that mean something to your family go to the top, and the do-not-play list keeps out anything you would rather skip.

  • Hall lighting after dark

    Uplighting on walls and dance-floor lighting turn a community hall or gym into a warm reception room.

  • Summer heat, planned around

    The low valley gets hot in summer, so vows early or late in the day and shade for guests and gear go a long way.

What affects the price

Each Lapwai wedding is quoted around its plan. These details have the biggest effect, so gather them before you reach out.

JobTypical range
Wedding DJ & MC $300 per hourHours of music, from ceremony sound to the last dance
  • Ceremony and reception time: Covering vows, dinner and dancing takes longer than reception music alone. Share your full timeline.
  • Indoor, outdoor or both: A ceremony outside and a reception inside need two setups or time to move gear between them.
  • Guest count and room size: A bigger crowd or larger hall can need more speakers and light so the back tables feel included.
  • 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

What travel is involved for a wedding in Lapwai?

Your DJ drives from Coeur d'Alene, just under three hours, and arrives early to set up and test sound. Travel depends on your venue and timeline, so ask us when you send your date and it will be included in the quote.

Can a family member sing or play during the ceremony?

Yes. Tell your DJ where it fits in the timeline. Your MC introduces the performer, a microphone is ready when they step up, and your DJ picks the music back up as soon as they finish.

Can you help with a long list of names during introductions?

Yes. Write out the order of introductions with phonetic spellings where helpful. Your MC reviews it ahead of time and asks about any name they are unsure of before the wedding day.

Is an outdoor ceremony a good idea in summer?

It can be lovely, but the valley gets hot. Choose a morning or evening time, provide shade and water, and find a covered spot with power for the DJ. Keep an indoor option nearby in case of wind or smoke.

What happens between booking and the wedding?

Once you book, you plan with your DJ in the online portal, adding must-play and do-not-play songs and meeting again to share ideas. Near the date you send final details through the requests form, and the night is built from them.
