When a DJ accepts your event request and builds a formal Event Proposal, you'll receive a notification by email and in your DJfindr account. Here's how to review and accept it.
Finding Your Proposal
- Log into your DJfindr account.
- Navigate to your Inbox or My Events.
- Open the event conversation and locate the proposal.
Reading the Proposal
A DJfindr Event Proposal contains all the legally binding terms for your booking:
Service Rate
The DJ's base charge for the time block requested.
Event Extras (Line Items)
Any additional charges for add-ons the DJ is providing (e.g., lighting equipment, sound system, fog machine, early setup, travel fees). These appear as distinct line items so you can see exactly what you're paying for.
Payment Terms
How the DJ has structured the payment:
- Full Payment Upfront — Pay 100% now to confirm the booking.
- Deposit + Balance — Pay a deposit now to secure the date; the remaining balance is automatically charged before the event.
Cancellation Policy
The DJ's specific cancellation terms, including how many days in advance you can cancel and whether the deposit is refundable.
Total Cost
The proposal shows a clear total including all line items.
Accepting the Proposal
If you are happy with the terms:
- Click Accept Proposal.
- Complete payment using:
- Credit or debit card
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay
- Once payment is processed:
- The DJ's calendar is blocked for your event date.
- Both you and the DJ receive a Booking Confirmed notification.
- The event status becomes Event Confirmed.
Declining or Negotiating
- Decline — If the terms don't work for you, decline the proposal. You can message the DJ to discuss revisions.
- Negotiate via Inbox — Use the Inbox messaging thread to ask the DJ to adjust pricing or terms. They can revise and resend an updated proposal.
Important: Your booking is only confirmed after payment is received. The DJ's calendar date is not held for you until payment is complete — they may accept other clients in the meantime.
