Free Text & Email Scripts for Mobile DJ
The scripts that matter most for mobile DJs are the deposit request that locks in an event date, the booking confirmation covering the event timeline and music preferences close to the date, and the review request right after — since a fixed event date can't be rebooked and a strong performance deserves a fast review ask. Fill in the client's name, job price, and date below to get a ready-to-send text or email.

Why scripts, not just a set list
Mobile DJ work centers on one fixed event date that can’t be rescheduled if a deposit falls through or the timeline never gets confirmed. Clear, well-timed messages protect your calendar and make sure the night runs the way the client pictured it. The generator above covers six common situations: no-shows, deposit requests, booking confirmations, quote follow-ups, late payments, and review asks.
Fill in the client’s name, job price, and date, and every template updates live. Copy the one that fits and send it as-is.
Deposit requests
A 25-50% deposit is standard since locking in an event date means turning away other inquiries for that day. Ask for it as soon as the date is confirmed.
Booking confirmations
Confirm the event timeline, must-play/do-not-play lists, and arrival time about a week out. The music plan and equipment setup both depend on those final details being locked in.
Review requests
Wait until the day after the event. Guests will have shared their reactions with the client by then, which tends to produce a longer, more detailed review than asking that same night.
Frequently asked questions
How much deposit should a mobile DJ collect?
25-50% is common since booking a date means turning away other inquiries for that same day — the deposit protects your calendar just like it would for any other event vendor.
How do I confirm event details before a DJ gig?
Send a confirmation about a week out covering the event timeline, must-play and do-not-play lists, and arrival/setup time, since the music plan depends on those final details.
When should a mobile DJ ask for a review?
The day after the event, once the client has had time to hear from their guests — a review right after the high energy of the night tends to be shorter, so waiting a day often produces a more detailed one.
