Why DJs should send professional invoices
You have an amazing talent for selecting just the right music for any crowd, and then seamlessly spinning it all together.
Each job is different, so you need a fully customizable invoice template that captures all the details, helping you get paid properly for your skill and talent. Your invoice also needs to be well organized and easy-to-understand so club owners and show promoters know exactly what they are paying for.
Besides your great DJ talent, you are also a creative professional who reliably fulfills the requirements for every show, so make sure your invoice looks perfectly polished to add to your great reputation.
Once you've downloaded your free invoice template, you'll need to customize it to fit your specific business. Here are the 10 key things to include on your invoice:
- Title and Description: Name the project and briefly describe what type of work your client is being invoiced for.
- Company Details: Add your company name, address, phone number, and logo to the top-right corner.
- Customer Details: Under "Bill To", add your customer's name, address, and contact information.
- Invoice Number: Include a unique invoice number to help you track down this invoice in the future. You can format this based on sequence and customer. For example, if you're sending your very first customer their first invoice, the invoice number could be 001-001.
- Dates: Include the date when your invoice has been issued and the date when payment is due.
- Line Item: Add individual line items for each unique good or service you provided. For each line item, include a brief description, quantity, individual unit price, and total price.
- Subtotal: Add up the subtotal of your goods or services, before tax has been applied.
- Tax: Indicate the tax rate applied to the subtotal. This is legally required to provide on invoices, and your rate may differ depending on where you run your business.
- Total: Outline the total amount due from the customer, after tax.
- Notes: Include any additional info your customer should know, including terms of service and payment terms (for example, payments are due 30 days after the invoice has been issued).

When is the right time to send a DJ invoice to your clients?
For one-time performances, such as a wedding, most DJs usually ask for payment right after the performance is over. If you are on tour, or travelling to more than one location, it’s fair to ask for a portion, or even full payment upfront, to cover your travel costs.
For a regular DJing gig, you can set up a recurring invoicing schedule to keep the revenue coming in.
Whatever payment cadence you choose, make sure it’s clearly noted on each invoice, and clarify what portion of the final ‘cost’ has been paid to date.
