DJ Services Agreement

Tidal Wave Dave Productions LLC

Thanks for considering Tidal Wave Dave Productions for your event! I’m always happy to connect on a free consultation call before anything is officially booked to make sure we’re a great fit.

This agreement becomes active once a booking deposit is received.

1. Performance Time & Overtime

I’ll perform for the agreed-upon event time listed in your booking details.

If you’d like me to stay longer, overtime is available at $150 per hour, billed in 30-minute increments, and must be approved and paid before overtime begins.

2. Setup, DJ Booth & Power

To ensure a smooth setup, the venue should provide:

Access to reliable power within 60 feet of the DJ setup
A clear, safe area for DJ equipment

DJ Booth / Table Setup

Please let me know which setup you prefer:

Venue-Provided Table: A sturdy 6-ft table with tablecloth, or
DJ-Provided Booth (Recommended): I can bring my professional DJ booth, including my own 4-ft table and black tablecloth with the Tidal Wave Dave logo, for a clean and polished look.

If no power is available within 60 feet, a generator will be required. I can provide one for an additional fee if needed.

3. Arrival, Timeline & Planning

I typically arrive about 2 hours before event start time for setup and sound check, and need 45–60 minutes after the event for breakdown.

Final timelines, music selections, and key details are due at least 14 days before the event to allow proper preparation.

4. Music & DJ Style

You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate on playlists and share must-play or do-not-play requests. During the event, I’ll read the crowd and adjust music professionally to keep the energy flowing while honoring your preferences.

5. Meals for Extended Events

For events with 5 or more consecutive hours of DJ performance, providing a hot vendor meal is an industry standard and helps ensure uninterrupted service.

The best time is typically after the wedding party is served.

6. Payment & Cancellation

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your date
The remaining balance is due 7 days before the event

Client Cancellation:

If you cancel, the deposit is non-refundable.

Cancellations within 60 days of the event require payment of the remaining balance, as the date is unlikely to be rebooked.

DJ Cancellation:

If I’m unable to perform due to a true emergency, you’ll receive a full refund, and I’ll make every effort to help find a suitable replacement with your approval.

7. Travel & Lodging

For events requiring more than 3 hours round-trip travel from Buena Vista, Colorado, overnight lodging for the DJ is required and should be confirmed in advance. Any additional travel fees will be discussed upfront.

8. Equipment Safety & Damages

Clients are responsible for any damage to DJ equipment caused by guests. Please ensure a safe setup area (no drinks on speakers or tables). If safety or equipment is at risk, I may pause music until conditions are resolved.

9. Weather & Outdoor Events

Outdoor events require proper weather protection (tent, canopy, or indoor backup). Performances may be paused for safety or equipment protection if weather conditions become unsafe.
