How it works

Verify first. Connect intentionally. Hold both sides accountable.

Customers and DJs share responsibility for keeping the marketplace useful. DJForYourEvent.com screens the opportunity, the DJ decides whether to connect, and both parties help confirm whether the connection worked.

1. Customer requests a DJ

Event details and required account/contact information are submitted.

2. Verify & screen

Required customer, contact, event, and risk checks are completed before marketplace release.

3. DJs review

Matched DJs see the opportunity and available trust signals without private customer contact information.

4. DJ chooses to connect

The DJ sees the connection fee and intentionally unlocks the customer's private contact information.

5. DJ makes contact

The DJ calls, texts, emails, or uses available marketplace messaging and records that outreach.

6. Both sides confirm

The DJ reports whether the customer responded. The customer can confirm whether the DJ's contact was received.

7. Outcome is tracked

Conversation, consultation, quote, booking, hired-someone-else, no-response, invalid-contact, and other outcomes improve marketplace accountability.

8. Reputation grows

Confirmed interactions and eligible bookings can contribute to meaningful trust and review history.

Customer responsibility

Provide truthful event information, maintain working contact details, respond to selected/connected DJs, and close or update the request when circumstances change.

DJ responsibility

Use released contact information only for the requested event, make professional contact, update the connection outcome, and report problems truthfully.

Marketplace responsibility

Screen before release, disclose what was actually verified, document the connection, collect feedback from both sides, investigate qualifying problems, and enforce published policies consistently.

A connection should create evidence—not disappear into a black box.

If a DJ reports no response, the system can ask why. If the customer confirms the DJ contacted them, that matters too. Repeated patterns can help identify inactive requests, invalid contact information, misuse, or highly responsive marketplace participants.

Development notice: DJForYourEvent.com is building these marketplace features in phases. Verification badges, connection fees, connection-review protections, booking protections, and payment handling will apply only when the corresponding feature is active and its requirements are satisfied. We do not claim that fraud can be eliminated completely.
