The DJ (Disc Jockey) Invoice Template is a valuable instrument when you must seek payment from an Event Organizer for disc jockey services. This paperwork is structured with a set format that will serve as a guide for providing Clients (such as Event Organizers) with the specifics they often require to see in writing before paying an invoice. Once you have filled out and dispensed this paperwork, you may re-use the template as needed. Ideally, you will have software capable of editing a PDF, Word, or Excel file so that you can input your information quickly or even set up a merge with a compatable bookkeeping program.

1 – You Can Invoice Event Organizers For DJ Services With This Paperwork
Your DJ Invoice can be saved from this page, filled out using software compatible with Adobe PDF or MS Word, then sent to the Event Organizer responsible for payment.
2 – Name Your DJ Business As The Sender Of This Invoice
The DJ Company you represent or own will need to be accurately identified at the top of the page after deleting the words “Company Name.” The first four labeled lines at the top of the page will give the Invoice Recipient or Customer a way to correspond with your DJ Company by mail. Fill in your “Name” along with your DJ Company’s “Street Address,” “City, State, Country,” and “Zip Code” The DJ Company’s area at the top of the page will usually be expected to display more modern forms of contact as well. To this end, disclose the DJ Company’s current “Phone” number and its active “E-Mail” address where these items are requested.
3 – Begin The Invoice Process By Identifying It
The first step in your invoicing process should be to give the Event Organizer a way to track this paperwork. The shaded bar below this header will address this requirement nicely. Input the invoice number and invoice date used to track the billing process for this event in this area.
4 – Name The Event Organizers Being Billed
In most cases, you will bill an Event Organizer for DJ services, however, keep in mind that for smaller events (such as a wedding) the Event Organizer may not necessarily be handling the bills. Fill in the name of the individual handling these bills just under the “Bill To” heading then make sure to supply his or her legal mailing address to the remainder of this section. This is the intended Invoice Recipient who will be held responsible for any finance charges accrued for a late payment.
5 – Define The DJ Event And The Owed Dollar Amount
We will now need to summarize and document the charges the Event Organizer must pay. Describe the work performed by the DJ in the “Description” section of the table on this page. The price of the DJ services should be recorded under “Amount” Mostly, your Clientele will want to pay their bills in a timely fashion. Regardless of this fact, it is considered a wise precaution to give an Invoice Recipient a basic deadline to pay an owed amount. Thus, enter the number of days you will allow the Invoice Recipient to pay this bill on the blank space after “…Within #” in the first statement under the table. The second statement under the table will contain two blank lines. Use these to give the Invoice Recipient or Event Organizer any relevant instructions for payment.

The cost of DJ services should be declared in the “Amount” column (cell 17).
