What we handle
Newport weddings often include family from both sides of the state line and from mountain or lake country. Here is how your DJ and MC support the day.
Sound for open-air or riverbank vows
Wind and space swallow voices at an outdoor ceremony. Wireless mics on the officiant and the couple carry every word to the back.
An MC for the whole day
Wedding party, first dance, parent dances, toasts and the final send-off are all announced and timed so the evening flows.
Songs from your lists
You build a must-play and a do-not-play list online before the day. The DJ follows them and reads the crowd for the rest.
Gear planning for rural and lake venues
Mountain cabins and lake properties may need a generator or long cable runs. Confirm power early and tell your DJ the setup challenges.
Light for when the sun sets
Uplighting on trees, barns or lodge walls and dance-floor lights help a space feel complete once evening falls through the mountains.
, musicians and more
Acoustic guitar, piano and/or vocals can play your ceremony, processional or cocktail hour. Choose how many hours you want live music for.

Questions we get
Do you charge travel to come to Newport for a wedding?
Travel is part of the quote. The drive from Coeur d'Alene is just over an hour, so ask us with your date and venue and you'll see the full price before you commit.
Many guests are driving from Spokane. How do we account for that?
Spokane is about an hour south. Give your guests a clear start time and build some buffer into the ceremony, so arrivals from the south have a little cushion. Your DJ can keep cocktail music going if people are staggering in.
Can we marry outside and celebrate inside?
Yes. Vows in the pines or by the water and dancing in a lodge or barn both work. Tell your DJ both locations so two setups can be planned and gear is moved on schedule.
Can we honor a family member during the reception?
Absolutely. Share the person's name and what you want the moment to feel like—a song, an announcement, a dance. Your MC can deliver it with the right tone for your family.
How does planning work from here?
Four steps: Meet, Dream, Plan and Create. Your first call is with your DJ by Google Meet, phone or FaceTime. After that, you work song lists in an online portal and send final details shortly before the day.
