Paying your DJ
Some of the questions that are answered on this page are:
Most DJs require a deposit or retainer. Sometimes, the dollar amount will be a
low, flat rate to encourage clients to book early. Other times, the dollar
amount will be based on the total amount that you are being charged by your DJ.
In most cases, you have not booked the DJ until you have paid their retainer.
Many DJs now accept credit cards, Pay Pal payments, checks, and cash. The
method of payment is really up to you. Pay Pal and credit card companies charge
their merchants 3-5% for use. Still, some DJs will prefer you to use those
methods of payment because it is easer to track their finances that way. Some
DJs prefer cash because they can pocket it without paying taxes on it. Still,
other prefer checks because it give an amount of tracking payments and does not
involve a 3-5% service charge. The
choice is your.
The balance is
almost always due before the start of your wedding, but there are some
exceptions. Sometimes, balance will be
due up to a month in advance. The full payment may even be required in order to
book a DJ service. Failure to
pay the balance by the due date will give the DJ the option to cancel their
services without informing you and without giving you your money back. However, many DJs will stay in contact you and
work with you in order to give you a great wedding day.
