We usually require half down for a deposit and final payment when setting up.
Don't like trying to chase down clients money during a party.

I have been doing 1/3 of the total ticket upfront as a deposit. Non refundable (up to my final say really) I may increase that to 50%

Leaves little room for question, spells it out. Prevents coming up with new terms on the fly everytime someone asks a question re: Deposits & final payment. We like it, our attorney likes it and every one of our clients knows what to expect with regards to $$$...when they sign the contract, it's good for them and us!
