Wedding DJ Contract FAQ
What should a wedding DJ contract include?
A wedding DJ contract should cover the event date and time, venue address, performance fee, deposit amount and due date, overtime rates, cancellation and refund policy, equipment list, travel expenses (if applicable), meal provision, and a force majeure clause.
How much deposit should a wedding DJ ask for?
Most wedding DJs request a non-refundable deposit of 25–50% of the total fee to secure the date. This protects you from last-minute cancellations. The contract should clearly state the deposit is non-refundable.
What is an overtime clause in a DJ contract?
An overtime clause specifies the rate charged for each additional 30 or 60 minutes beyond the agreed set time. Wedding receptions often run long, so having a clear hourly or half-hourly overtime rate written into the contract prevents disputes.
What happens if I have to cancel a wedding gig?
Your contract should include a cancellation policy for both parties. If the client cancels, they typically forfeit the deposit. If you (the DJ) cancel, you may be liable to return the deposit and potentially pay compensation. A force majeure clause protects both parties from cancellations caused by extreme circumstances like severe weather or illness.
