During our final meeting with the DJ company, the sales manager told us that the DJs really appreciate a tip. He said the amount varies "from $50 to $200 depending on how much fun you had." I was appalled. We are paying over $1,000 for 4 1/2 hours of his time and now they expect a tip? The last thing I will be thinking about on my wedding night is how much to tip the DJ. And if we are supposed to tip him based on his quality of service, we obviously can't prepare the tip ahead of time and give it to our coordinator. When I asked the coorinator about this, she said if the gratuity isn't written into the contract, we don't need to do it. But I am wondering if it is customary to tip your DJ.
