My fiancé and I are getting married on March 8 in Central Pa, and we met with a new DJ a few days ago, after our first DJ cancelled. The new DJ's inclement weather policy states that he has the right to cancel the event in inclement weather, and we have the option of choosing another date for his services. I emailed him for clarification about whether we would get our money back if he cancelled, and he said he would rely on us to cancel and not make him drive in snow, (meaning we cancel the event). Then he said that if we cancel or if he cancels due to weather, HE KEEPS our entire payment- deposit and balance…even if HE's the one who decides not to come. Our venue has already stated they will not close unless it's a State of Emergency.
Is this a normal policy? I'm hesitant to sign, especially with all the snow this winter!
