So that your event is a complete success, and for peace of mind for all parties concerned, I have put together some important procedures, and terms of business. 

Once we have made contact, and I can confirm I am available, I will suggest that I visit or call you to find out exactly what you want from your party.  This is a no-obligation, no pressure planning visit, and my aim is to give you complete peace of mind when choosing the DJ for your function.  If you prefer, this can be done over the phone or indeed by email, but there is really no substitute for a personal meeting.  I will then prepare a quotation for the services you would like on your big day.

Should you wish to book me for your party, I would then prepare a written agreement for both of us, and request a nominal payment as an reservation fee.  Only when this is done is the booking confirmed, and I will no longer be available to any other enquiries.  I will hold provisional bookings open for 48 hours.

You will then receive access to my exclusive online planning system which allows you to preview and chose musical requests in advance, and set an expected timeline for your function.  If the venue is new to me, I would arrange to contact or visit the management to ensure that I comply with their requirements, and of course to make sure they can fit in with mine!

A few weeks before your party, I will ensure I have all the music requested at hand, and confirm this with you either online, by telephone or at a final planning meeting.  The balance of my fee is also due up to 14 days before the event.  I will also double check all the final details including any timing changes, and liaise with 3rd parties such as venue management, caterers, bands, photographers, Master of ceremonies, etc... as required.

8. ★Functions outdoors or in a Marquee are subject to further conditions, mainly for logistical and health & safety reasons, and I need to know in advance in order to make sure the event runs smoothly.  This is VERY IMPORTANT as problems do occur with outdoor events which can easily be overcome in advance only.
