What we handle
Weddings around Priest River, in Bonner County, often mean water, tall timber and long summer evenings. These are the pieces your DJ and MC take care of.
Vows heard over lapping water
Wind off the lake and open shoreline swallow voices. Wireless mics on the officiant and the couple carry every word to the back row.
Power out past the pavement
Cabins and family land may have few outlets. Confirm a power source or generator near the setup spot well before the day.
An emcee who keeps the pace
Introductions, the first dance, parent dances, toasts and the cake cutting are announced and cued so the evening flows without dead air.
Your songs, not a stock list
You build a must-play list and a do-not-play list online. The DJ follows them and fills the rest by watching who is dancing.
Light for when the sun finally sets
Midsummer daylight lingers late this far north. Uplighting and dance-floor lights take over once dusk falls through the trees.
Live music for ceremony or cocktail hour
A or a live musician for the ceremony can be added during planning if you want a touch more.

What affects the price
Wedding quotes for Priest River are built from your timeline and setting. Gather these details before you reach out and the quote comes together faster.
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Wedding DJ & MC | $300 per hourHours of music, from ceremony sound to the last dance |
- Ceremony at a separate spot: If the vows happen on the shore and dinner is up at the lodge, the DJ may need a second sound setup and time to move gear.
- Reception length: Tell us when cocktail hour begins and when the last song should play. Longer coverage raises the quote.
- Getting there and loading in: Gravel roads, docks or long carries from parking add setup time. Mention them along with the venue address.
- Lighting choices: Uplighting on trees or beams and dance-floor lights are optional, so pick only what fits the space.

Questions we get
Do you charge travel for a Priest Lake wedding?
Priest Lake lies farther up the state highway from Priest River, which is itself well over an hour from Coeur d'Alene, so travel is figured into lake wedding quotes. Ask us with your venue name and date and you'll get a straight answer on the drive before you book.
What if rain moves in during an outdoor ceremony?
Plan a covered backup, such as a porch, a tent or the reception building and tell your DJ where it is. The gear needs shelter too. Mountain storms can build quickly on summer afternoons, so agree on a time to make the rain call.
Most of our family lives far away. Can we plan without visiting?
Your first meeting with your DJ happens by Google Meet, phone or FaceTime and song lists go into an online planning portal you can open from anywhere. Relatives can suggest favorites and you send final details through the requests form close to the day.
Can we include a song for grandparents with deep roots in town?
Of course. Add it to your must-play list with a note on when it should play, perhaps during dinner or as a special dance. Your MC can introduce it so everyone in the room understands why that song matters to your family.
Do you run line dances, games or skits?
No. Dark Star skips skits, scripted line-dance routines and props like inflatables. The focus stays on the music you chose and on reading the room, so the floor fills because people want to be there.
