Should you tip a wedding DJ?

Tipping is entirely your choice. DJs usually set their own fee, so they do not expect a tip the way some service staff might. If your DJ kept the dance floor full, handled announcements well and worked with your schedule, a tip is a lovely gesture.

Cash is the easiest option, but you could also offer a thank you card, a small gift or a positive review. Some couples include the DJ in their evening catering, which is often appreciated. If you do tip, hand it over personally at the end of the night so you can thank them face to face.

There is no set amount and no obligation. Think about your budget and how you feel about their service. If you are unsure, check your contract first, because some DJs include a service charge or gratuity in their quote. If that is the case, you do not need to add anything extra.
