The soundtrack to the best day of your life

Your guests pick up a vintage telephone, hear your greeting, and leave a voicemail. There is no message limit and no app. After the wedding Mark stitches every message into one keepsake recording with your first-dance song playing underneath, or any song you choose, and emails it to you. It arrives set up, with the neon sign, for $295 with any package, and it is included with the Headliner.

Yes. Handheld CO2 cannons throw a freezing white burst across the dance floor, and because the person firing them is the person running the music, they land on the beat drop instead of a second late. From $250, included with the Headliner. Check with your venue first: a few indoor rooms do not allow them, and Mark will tell you straight if yours is one.

Yes, destination weddings across Idaho are a specialty. Travel within the Treasure Valley is included in every package. Outside it, travel is quoted flat and up front, and early load-in and backup equipment are built into the plan, so a mountain venue gets the same standard as a Boise ballroom.

You build a request list ahead of the night through the song request link, and guests can request live if you want them to. The do-not-play list is absolute: if it is on the list, it does not play. No exceptions, including for the best man.

Yes if you have more than 50 guests or are outdoors. Every ceremony package includes a tested wireless mic for the officiant plus a wired backup.

Six to eight moment songs: processional, entrance, recessional, first dance, parent dances, grand entrance. Then a must-play list, a do-not-play list, and Mark reads the room.

Pro gear handles drizzle. Mark plans a covered equipment position and coordinates a rain plan with the venue before the day.

Bands cost three to five times more. A DJ plays the recordings everyone knows, never takes a break, and covers every genre. Many couples use an acoustic musician for the ceremony and a DJ for the reception. If you want a band, Mark can bring the band, the gear it plays and the engineer, from $5,500.

Summer and fall are the busiest wedding seasons in Idaho, and popular Treasure Valley dates book six to twelve months in advance. If your date is sooner, ask anyway. Openings happen.

No. Every package price is published on this page and on the Investment page, the same numbers every couple gets. A call is for planning your day, not for finding out what it costs.

Rent the sound and run it yourself. The $399 Reception Kit is two speakers on stands, a mixer and a wireless mic, enough for a reception of about 150, picked up at the shop in Nampa on Friday and back on Monday. The $249 I Do Kit covers a ceremony on its own. You lose the MC and the live reading of the room, you keep about $2,000.

Typically one to two hours depending on the venue. Setup and breakdown are included in every package and never billed as extra time.

A 25 percent retainer, $500 minimum, holds the date, balance due two weeks before the wedding. Tips are appreciated but never expected.

Warm, clear and brief. Introductions land, transitions glide, and the microphone never becomes the show. The night stays about the two of you.

Redundant players, consoles, microphones and power travel to every wedding. In 29 years of live events, the show has never stopped.

Exactly as loud as the moment calls for. Dinner stays at conversation level; the dance floor gets real energy without distortion. Sound-engineer tuning means power feels smooth, not painful, and venue sound limits are respected to the decibel.
