Your booking sits at one of twelve statuses, shown on your event and on the Progress tab.
The normal path
| Status | What it means | Your move |
|---|---|---|
| Event Requested | Your request is with the DJ | Wait |
| Awaiting Offer | They accepted and are preparing your proposal | Wait |
| Review Offer | Your proposal is ready | Accept or Reject — before it expires |
| Payment Due | You accepted. Not confirmed until you pay | Pay now |
| Event Confirmed | Paid. Your date is locked | Prepare |
| Event In Progress | Your event is running | Enjoy it |
| Leave Review | Your event is complete | Leave a review |
Where it can stop
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Declined by DJ | They can't take the booking. No further action possible |
| Offer Rejected | You turned down their terms. Message them for a revised offer |
| Expired | You didn't respond before the proposal's expiry date. Ask for a new one |
| Event Dropped | The booking was ended before payment. No charges applied |
| Event Canceled | You cancelled a confirmed event after the cancellation window closed |
The two that need you
Review Offer. Proposals expire. Miss the date and you'll need a new one, by which point the DJ may be booked.
Payment Due. Your date is not held. The DJ can take another booking for it until your payment clears. This is the status not to sit on.
Two more dates worth tracking
Neither shows as a status, and both cost money:
Your cancellation deadline — the last day you can cancel for a full refund, set out in your proposal terms.
Your balance due date — on a deposit booking, 7 days before the event. Miss it and the event is canceled and the deposit forfeited.
Your event has its own status
Separately from proposals, the event itself shows as Draft, Active, Confirmed, or Archived. An Active event is one you can still send to more DJs. Confirmed means you've booked someone.
What your DJ sees
The same booking, labelled for their side. Your Awaiting Offer is their Create Offer. Your Review Offer is their Offer Sent. Your Payment Due is their Awaiting Payment. Your Leave Review is their Event Complete.
Where to find it
Events in your dashboard has a status filter. Open an event to see its proposals, and open a proposal for the Progress tab, which explains the current state and offers the actions available.
