How Much Should I Tip a Luxury Wedding DJ?
Tipping a luxury wedding DJ is generally a standard practice to show appreciation for their service. So, if your DJ does a great job, exceeding expectations, tipping is typically encouraged. To figure out what to tip a luxury wedding DJ, you can base the tip on either:
A percentage of the total DJ costs: Usually, tips between 10% and 20% of the DJ costs are good practice. Higher tipping can be appropriate when luxury wedding DJs are doing extra, handling on-the-fly requests, or going above and beyond to accommodate guests or the event in any way.
A fixed rate: Depending on the services provided, flat-rate DJ tips can also be a nice way to thank these vendors for their service. These flat-rate tips usually start at a few hundred dollars, going up from there.
