DEPOSIT QUESTION

FI and I just got back from a DJ that we liked. When I asked about deposits he said $500 now and the balance due two weeks BEFORE the wedding. Is that normal?? I have seen other DJ's and most deposits are due the day of.
The company is reputable but what if they don't show up or something happens?? They would have all my $$$.

hmm, i would have to double check, but i am pretty sure my dj requires it ahead of time as well. i was thinking reputable means its ok that he'll have our money...i hope!!! ~lacey

Re: DEPOSIT QUESTION

all of my vendors - with the exception of the hall (and is that really a vendor?) - asked for the $$$ the day of. but my band was the best - he won't collect $ until AFTER the reception to ensure that we are pleased with the entertainment. i'm not sure what he does if we don't like it though.

Re: DEPOSIT QUESTION

I don't remember when my dj said the $$ was due, but we paid it a week or 2 before the wedding when we had our final meeting.

I honestly don't remember when final payment for our DJ is due.

Re: DEPOSIT QUESTION

wow... $500 is high for a DJ deposit, IMO.

we had to give our DJ $100 and the balance was due on the day of the wedding in cash.
