One of the most popular questions that wedding couples have about their wedding, is whether they need to tip their wedding DJ. If you ask a group of people, I’m guessing you’ll get a 50/50 response. In most situations, tipping the DJ is a very nice gesture for a job well done.
When You May Consider Tipping The Wedding DJ:
- Your drunk uncle kept asking for “Free Bird” all night long.
- The DJ perfectly pronounced a family name like, “Freehausenschnauzerfinkley.”
- They were just plain awesome and played the best dance songs all night long.
We surveyed a few great wedding DJs across the country and got their thoughts on whether or not to tip your DJ.
“We believe a tip is a thank you for a job well done. DJs sacrifice more time and effort than meets the eye and a tip is helpful for both the mindset, and financials of the DJ. However, if they DJ did a poor performance or an unsatisfactory job, a tip is not or should not be mandatory.” – DJ Forrest @ thehoustondjs.com
“If the DJ over-delivers according to your objectives, expectations, and the fee you paid, a tip could be appropriate.” – DJ Robert @ JustWeddingSaz.com
“You should tip a wedding DJ because it is more than money. It is a show of gratitude for the effort given to every detail of your special day. It lets the DJ feel warm and fuzzy leaving your event and that goes a long way for the next person you refer to that DJ.” – DJ Joshua Baker @ CinderellasWeddingDJs.com
“Yes, you should tip at least $100.” - DJ Ari Jones @ ArjProductions.net
