DJ CRM & Business Management Platform
Not another CRM. A complete business operating system.
Bookings, contracts, invoicing, DJ portals, client planning, and social media in one place. Built by a multi-op owner who got tired of the workarounds.
laavi is live
Get started today and our team will have your whole company set up and running within days.
Built by a 20-year industry vet
Not a tech company guessing. Built by someone who lived it.
3 dedicated workspaces
Admin, DJ/Talent, and Client, each purpose-built.
Replaces 14+ tools
CRM, contracts, invoicing, music planning, and more, all in one.
What is a CRM, and why does your DJ company need one?
A CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system is a single place to manage every lead, booking, contract, payment, and client conversation your business handles.
Most DJ companies juggle spreadsheets, email threads, Venmo requests, and sticky notes. That patchwork leads to missed follow-ups, double-bookings, and lost revenue. A purpose-built CRM replaces the chaos with one organized workflow — so you can focus on the music, not the admin.
Never lose a lead
Respond fast with automated follow-ups so no inquiry slips through the cracks.
Stop double-booking
See every DJ's availability in one calendar. No more conflicting gigs.
Get paid faster
Send professional invoices and collect payments without chasing clients.
Deliver a VIP experience
Give every client a planning portal that makes you look like a premium operation.
Manage your entire roster
Keep DJ profiles, availability, and rates organized so you can staff any event in seconds.
Know your numbers
Track revenue, lead sources, and conversion rates without juggling spreadsheets.
20+ Years in the Industry
Built from frustration.
Purpose-built for you.
Alex Nepa, Penn State CS grad ('01), 20+ year DJ industry veteran, and founder of Mint DJ & Event Group. Member of DJ Think Tank, founding member of the DJ Collective, established DJ & remixer, and co-founder of the now-defunct Nightlife Media Labs.
"I spent 20+ years running a DJ company and dealing with the same pain every entertainment business owner knows: tools that are either embarrassingly outdated or force you to hack together five apps with no data communication, doing everything manually."
"laavi is the platform I wish existed. From lead capture and sales automations to powerful proposals, e-sign contracts, and online payments. Best-in-class planning tools that make event planning fun for clients. A DJ portal for staff communication and project collaboration. Everything is connected. Everything is customizable. Data is secure."
"Client planning flows directly to the admin portal and DJ, and you can download branded, easy-to-read PDFs with every detail. Plus AI features with brand voice upload, social media tools, task management, you name it."

Competitors shown: DJ Event Planner · SMPL · Check Cherry · GigBuilder · DJ Intelligence · HoneyBook · Dubsado · 17hats · LASSO
DJ Event Planner / SMPL
Both offer DJ-focused tools with client portals and music management. SMPL includes invoicing and staff management, but e-signatures require a separate Adobe Sign subscription — not built in. Where laavi differentiates: native e-sign contracts, purpose-built admin, DJ, and client workspaces, Spotify-powered music planning, venue referral tracking, and a modern UX designed for growing multi-op teams.
Check Cherry / DJ Intelligence
Both handle event bookings with music request tools and client portals. But neither offers a dedicated DJ/talent workspace, team communication, venue referral tracking, or the admin dashboard depth that growing multi-op companies need.
HoneyBook / Dubsado
Beautiful CRM tools built for photographers and creatives, not entertainment companies. No AI lead nurturing, no automated SMS scheduling, no music selection tools, no DJ-specific workflows, no dedicated talent portals.
GigBuilder / 17hats
GigBuilder has been around since 1996 but lacks modern UX, team portals, and client-facing event prep. 17hats is solid for solo freelancers but falls apart with a team of DJs.
LASSO
LASSO is crew management for arena-scale event production companies: scheduling, time tracking, and payroll for hourly workforces, with contact-sales pricing. Powerful for back-of-house ops, but there's no client portal, no music planning, no client contracts, and no wedding tools. laavi covers the entire client-to-DJ lifecycle at a flat monthly price.
