The agreement requires a customizable non-refundable retainer upon signing to secure the event date, with the remaining balance due a specified number of days before the wedding.

OVERTIME PROTECTION
When the dance floor is still packed at the scheduled end time, make sure you're compensated for staying longer.
The agreement provides a customizable hourly overtime rate for requests to extend the performance beyond the contracted end time, with payment due when the additional time is requested.

MUST PLAY & DO NOT PLAY LISTS
Get on the same page with your clients before the wedding.
The contract includes a pre-event consultation to finalize the couple's:

• Must Play Songs
• Do Not Play Songs
• Music Preferences
• Guest Request Policy

The DJ may also decline guest requests that conflict with the couple's Do Not Play list or the overall atmosphere of the event.

WEDDING MUSIC & KEY MOMENTS
Make sure the soundtrack matches the wedding timeline.
The Client provides the DJ with music and timing information for important moments such as:

• Processional & Recessional
• Grand Entrance
• First Dance
• Parent Dances
• Cake Cutting
• Bouquet Toss

This helps the DJ coordinate with the couple and other wedding professionals before the event begins.

Protect your setup by clearly communicating what the venue needs to provide.
The agreement includes customizable technical requirements for:

• Sturdy, Level DJ Table
• Dedicated 15-Amp Electrical Circuits
• Maximum Distance From Power
• Appropriate Setup Area
• Outdoor Equipment Protection

OUTDOOR EVENT & WEATHER PROTECTION
DJ equipment is a major business investment.
For outdoor events, the agreement requires the Client to provide an overhead tent or canopy to protect equipment from sun and rain.

The DJ also retains the right to stop performing if weather conditions place the equipment at risk.

VENDOR MEALS
For events lasting more than four hours, the agreement provides for a customizable number of vendor meals for the DJ and any assistants.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE PROTECTION
Establish responsibility for damage caused by wedding guests.
The agreement makes the Client responsible for guest-caused damage to DJ equipment, including examples such as drinks spilled on mixers or guests tripping over speakers.

This provision is especially important for DJs transporting expensive speakers, controllers, mixers, lighting equipment, computers, microphones, and other professional gear.

SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT
Protect yourself and your team from unsafe or disruptive situations.
If the DJ feels threatened or guests mistreat the equipment, the agreement allows the DJ to pause the performance until the Client resolves the situation.

EQUIPMENT FAILURE & DJ EMERGENCIES
The contract also establishes a clear limit of liability if a total equipment failure or DJ emergency prevents performance.
Under the template, the DJ's liability is limited to a full refund of the money paid.

CANCELLATION & REPLACEMENT DJ
Establish clear procedures for unexpected cancellations.
If the Client cancels, the agreement provides customizable cancellation deadlines determining whether only the retainer is forfeited or the full remaining balance becomes due.

If the DJ cannot perform, the agreement provides for either a qualified replacement DJ or a 100% refund of all fees, including the retainer.
