Common questions
Can we meet our DJ before the big day?
Yes. Every booking starts with Meet: you talk with your DJ by Google Meet, phone or FaceTime about your plans, the vibe you want and your venue.
How do we tell the DJ which songs to play and which to skip?
You build a must-play list and a do-not-play list in an online planning portal. Your DJ uses them as a guide for the songs you love and the ones you never want to hear, then reads the crowd to keep the night moving.
Will it feel like a cheesy wedding DJ?
No. Dark Star skips the skits, electric slide routines, pre-made playlists and inflatable props. Your music is built from your own tastes, and your DJ reads the room from there, so the night sounds like you and your guests instead of a stock routine.
Do you handle the ceremony and the announcements too?
Yes. Dark Star DJs and MCs weddings and can add wireless ceremony microphones so guests hear the officiant, vows and readings, especially outdoors. As MC, your DJ handles introductions and announcements and keeps moments like toasts, the first dance and cake cutting flowing.
What should we check with our venue before the event?
Ask your venue about any end time for amplified music, volume limits and load-in rules. For an outdoor event, confirm there is power near the DJ setup and a plan for sun, wind and rain. Your DJ and you should both know these details ahead of time.
Do you play events outside Coeur d'Alene?
Yes. Dark Star is based in Coeur d'Alene and works events across North Idaho, Eastern Washington and western Montana, from Sandpoint and Spokane to Moscow, Lewiston and the Tri-Cities. Share your venue and town when you reach out, and ask us about travel for your date.
What should I have ready when I ask about my date?
Have your event date, the venue and town, the type of event, your expected guest count and the hours of music you need. With those details, your first conversation can focus on the night you want instead of the basics.
