What to include on a DJ invoice
Your invoice needs to show the event date, venue name, and what type of gig it was (wedding reception, corporate event, club night). Include your setup and performance hours separately if you charged for both. List any equipment rentals like extra speakers or lighting as line items. Break out travel fees if you charged them. Clients need this detail for their own records, and wedding planners especially will ask you to match what the contract said.
Most DJs take a 25-50% deposit when the contract is signed, then collect the rest a week before the event or on the day itself. Cash and Venmo work for bar gigs and small parties. Bigger events like weddings usually want to pay by check or bank transfer after the fact, so set your terms at net 15 or net 30. Don't start the clock until after the event happens.
Send the final invoice the morning after the gig while you're still fresh in their mind. Couples and party hosts are excited and motivated to close things out right away. Wait two weeks and you'll be chasing them. Also, photograph your signed contract and attach it to reminder emails if someone goes quiet on you.
