What we handle
Whether your Spokane wedding lands downtown along the river or out at a family property, these are the pieces your DJ and MC can take off your plate.
Ceremony microphones guests can hear
Wireless microphones carry the officiant, vows and readings to every row. In a garden or by the river, open air swallows voices quickly without them.
A reception timeline that flows
Your MC calls the grand entrance, first dance, parent dances, toasts and cake cutting, so no relative gets stuck holding the microphone and reading notes.
Music for a mixed crowd
College friends, coworkers and grandparents in one room. Your DJ starts from your lists and reads the floor to bring each group into the night.
Venue rules sorted ahead of time
Many venues set an end time for amplified music, a volume cap or load-in rules. Confirming them early means the plan fits before the day arrives.
Uplighting that changes the room
Colored light at the base of walls and columns can turn a plain hall into a space that feels like the two of you and dance-floor lighting keeps it lively.
Volume that suits every guest
Speakers aimed away from older guests' tables and single-use earplugs on hand help the sound work for the whole room, not only the dancers.

Customer reviews & pricing
What affects the price
No two Spokane weddings run on the same plan, so pricing follows the plan. These are the details that move a quote.
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Wedding DJ & MC | $300 per hourHours of music, from ceremony sound to the last dance |
- Start and finish times: The hours from first song to last shape the quote more than anything else. Note any gap between the ceremony and the reception.
- Where the ceremony happens: A ceremony in a different spot from the reception means a separate setup for microphones and speakers.
- Crowd and space: A longer guest list or a big hall may need more speakers and lighting to cover the room.
- Live music: Your DJ brings the uplighting and dance-floor lighting. Live guitar, piano or vocals for the ceremony, cocktail hour or dinner adds $100 per hour for each hour performed.
- Venue logistics: Load-in rules, stairs, sound limits and music end times all affect setup. Share what your venue tells you.

Questions we get
Do you travel from Coeur d'Alene for Spokane weddings and is there a travel fee?
Yes. Dark Star is based in Coeur d'Alene and works weddings in Spokane, a short trip west on the interstate. Include your venue and town when you reach out so the plan accounts for setup and load-in. Travel depends on your venue and hours, so ask us when you send your date and it will be in your quote.
Our ceremony is outdoors near the river. What should we plan for sound?
Outdoor ceremonies need power close to the DJ setup and a backup plan for sun, wind and rain. Open air carries voices away, so wireless microphones for the officiant and vows matter. Check with your venue about power, cover and any sound limits.
How do the must-play and do-not-play lists work?
You add songs to an online planning portal: the ones you want to hear and the ones you never want to hear. Your DJ treats the lists as a guide, then reads the crowd for the rest of the night. Nobody hands you a pre-made playlist.
Can our reception run late?
That depends on your venue. Many set an end time for amplified music or a volume limit, so confirm those rules before you choose your hours. If the party should keep going, an after-party somewhere more casual can carry the night with its own music.
We have guests coming from out of town. How does that affect the night?
Guests flying into the Spokane airport may stay downtown, where the river and falls run past the grounds of the city's old world's fair. A welcome party or after-party close to where they stay gives them more time together and Dark Star DJs after-parties too.
What should we send when we ask about a date?
Your wedding date, venue and town, a rough guest count, the hours of music you want and whether you want live music for the ceremony, cocktail hour or dinner. That is enough to start a real conversation.
