What we handle
Weddings among the wheat and old brick
Palouse is a small city with a historic Main Street, ringed by wheat farms. Weddings here tend toward family land, barns, the city park and restored downtown buildings and guests often drive in from Pullman, Spokane or across the nearby Idaho line.
Timing matters in farm country. Late summer is harvest, when families may be busy until the grain is in and spring brings bright green hills along with unpredictable rain. Early fall, once harvest wraps, can bring mild evenings for an outdoor reception.
A small-town wedding still needs clear sound and a steady host. Here is what your DJ and MC handle in Palouse.
Mics that carry outdoors
Wireless microphones for the officiant and vows so guests in the back row hear every word, even with a breeze off the fields.
A steady hand on the timeline
Introductions, first dance, parent dances, toasts, cake and the send-off, each announced so family members can relax.
Requests from both families
Grandparents' favorites, college-era throwbacks and your first-date song, placed where they will get people dancing.
No canned routines
Your do-not-play list holds firm. You will not get skits, inflatables or a pre-made playlist.
Warm light in brick or barn
Uplighting picks up red brick or barn beams and dance-floor lights take over when dusk settles over the farm.

Questions we get
Is there a travel fee for a wedding in Palouse?
Palouse is about fifty-five miles south of Coeur d'Alene, around an hour and forty minutes on the road. Travel is figured into each wedding there based on the venue and timing, so ask us and include your address when you reach out.
Can we hold the reception in a barn on our family's farm?
Yes, with a little planning. Check where outlets are, whether the wiring can handle sound and lighting and how gear gets in. Uplighting along the beams can transform the space once the sun goes down.
When is a good time of year for an outdoor wedding here?
Late spring and early fall are pleasant choices, while late summer brings harvest dust and busy farm schedules. Whatever you pick, plan shade for an afternoon ceremony and an indoor backup for rain and share that plan with your DJ.
Can a live musician play our ceremony?
Live music (acoustic guitar, piano and/or vocals) is available for the ceremony, cocktail hour or dinner hour if you want a performer during a specific moment. Mention it early when planning so the timeline and sound setup account for both.
How do we choose our songs?
Through an online planning portal. Add the songs you must hear, mark anything you never want played and note special moments like the first dance. Your DJ treats those lists as a guide and reads the room for the rest.
