For venues, organizers, hosts, promoters & brands
Book talent that fills rooms.
On Gelatin, a DJ’s draw record is built from headcounts venues confirm after the night — so you choose on evidence, not a follower count. Your payment sits in escrow until the event happens.
Escrow protected · Full refund before the cutoff

The one question you actually have: will this DJ fill my room?
Every other booking channel answers that with a bio and a vibe. We answer it with a number somebody in your position already verified.
Search by proven draw
Filter by genre and see every DJ’s verified draw. Suggestions on your dashboard sort on attendance — nobody pays for placement.
Your money is protected
Your card is held when you request and charged when they accept. It sits in escrow until the night is over.
Terms, not haggling
Cancellation rules are fixed and shown up front. If a DJ cancels late, you get a full refund.
One flat fee
$7 per completed booking, plus card processing on its own line. Same fee on a $150 night or a $1,500 one.
A $350 booking costs you $350, plus seven dollars.
We don’t take a percentage of the talent’s fee and we don’t take one from you. Our entire booking business is a flat $7 — which is why we can afford to be honest about who’s actually worth booking.
- The DJ receives 100% of the fee you agreed
- Card processing is passed through and shown as its own line
- Cancel more than 72 hours out and there’s no cancellation penalty, though card processing already charged isn’t returned
- Between 2 and 72 hours, the DJ’s rate splits 50/50, and the $7 fee and card processing aren’t refunded
- Inside 2 hours, cancellation is blocked — the room is committed

Order summary
DJ payout: $350.00 — the DJ keeps 100% of their fee.
Book one night — or build a residency.
A booking request is a single transaction with a date and a budget. A partnership request is the longer conversation: recurring nights, a resident DJ, a brand-backed series, a room you want to program rather than fill.
- Send a structured request: date, venue, budget, set length
- The DJ accepts, declines or counters — payment follows automatically
- Request a residency or recurring room through the partner flow
- Need someone tonight? Urgent fill fans out by SMS; first yes wins
- Book a DJ plus their crew as a single line on one invoice

Add a crew that turns the night into content.
A booking can carry a creative package — a recap reel, a photo gallery, a social campaign — attached to a night whose attendance we actually measured. Either the DJ brings their own crew, or we assign vetted creatives and manage the delivery ourselves.
- Basic — a photographer
- Premium — a photographer, a videographer and marketing
- Deluxe — photo, video, an event host, a dancer and an organizer
- One line item on the same booking, same checkout
- You approve the deliverables before the crew is paid
Packages are fulfilled concierge — a person assigns your crew by hand and stays on it until you’ve approved the work.
Add crew (optional)
Add vetted creatives from Gelatin’s roster to the night — one invoice, held in escrow.
