Booking my service is simple and easy. Although I try to meet my clients ahead of time and do everything in the rest of this paragraph in person, most of my booking is done via telephone, e-mail and snail mail. What I do is after talking with the event host, I then mail them two very simple contracts. When they receive them, they fill out the first page with personal contact and event information. Then after reading page # 2, which explains all of the information listed below, they simply sign and date the bottom and mail one of them back with a non-refundable pre-payment of three hours or estimated full amount due. With this deposit, I will reserve the date for your event. I encourage a prompt return of the contract and deposit because I will not reserve any date until I have them. The remainder owed for each event is due/payable any time on the date of your event. 

**Please note that the process of booking my services for school dances and fundraisers varies a bit, depending on particular terms. 

Pricing Info:

    To DJ at most events, I charge $200 / Hour for whatever time I actually DJ (or a three hour minimum)....Except:

    School dances and fundraisers - give me a call for a better idea of pricing...

Lighting!! I have a TON of lighting gizmos that can make any event look amazing! It doesn't take a lot to make magic and we can design a package that suits your event's environment as well as your wallet- Click here for the full menu.

I do not charge for setup or travel-time for any event in Massachusetts.

I welcome payment by cash, check or money order, made payable to 'Dana Collins, Dedicated Disc Jockey.' I will charge a $25.00 fine for any payment that does not clear properly or for any instance where I am not paid in full on or by the date of the event.

Availability:

Cancellation:

Deposits paid will retain my services for the date or dates specified on the respective contract only. Should an event need to be cancelled or postponed for any reason, including inclement weather, I invite my client to use their deposit as credit towards another date. This second try must be within one year from the originally planned date and is subject to my availability. The deposit will be forfeited by the client if a second date can not be negotiated within these guidelines.

Requirements:

I ask that the event host makes arrangements to provide the following items. Although I have never, ever seen a place that didn't have these, if for any reason there is a problem with obtaining these guidelines, please let me know.

·        One 110-volt outlet (3 prong grounded) within 100 feet of setup space.

·        Facility or grounds are open at least one hour prior to start time.

·        A sturdy rectangle table that is at least 6 feet long.

·        Reasonable steps taken to protect little old me, my music and equipment if guests become threateningly unruly.
