Anatomy of a Proposal
When you receive a proposal, it will appear in your Inbox and your Events tab. A complete proposal contains several key sections you should review carefully:Event Logistics
Verify that the Date, Time, Duration, and Venue Location match exactly what you discussed.Services and Extras
The financial breakdown of the proposal. It will list:- Base Rate: The core cost for the DJ’s time and performance.
- Extras: Any additional line items you requested (e.g., Subwoofers, Uplighting, extra hours, travel distance fees).
- Total Amount: The final sum of all services.
Payment Terms
Before you can confirm the event, you must agree to the DJ’s payment schedule. The proposal will clearly state the required upfront commitment. Common structures include:- 100% Upfront: The entire total is due immediately.
- Split Deposits (e.g., 50% Deposit): You pay half now to secure the date, and the remaining balance is scheduled for a later date (usually closer to the event).
