Larry from Rockwell Productions? He's not the owner of Rockwell Productions, but he's the only other DJ besides Jeff. So do I tip him on Sunday or not?I'm so confused about this... I don't tip the florist because she owns the business. I don't tip the officiant because he's my brother (he's getting a gift). But the DJ has me confused...

    Im not even close to thinking about this stuff yet but from what Ive read you are supposed to tip unless they own the business. Sorry I couldnt be more help.

    Our dj did such a great job that we tipped him even though he owns the business.

    Really? Did you tip him 10%? 15%? 20%?I'm really excited for Larry-- he's even managed to get a hold of the French song from Francis Cabrel that I wanted played as one of our slow songs! It's not something you can find on iTunes, so I'm impressed that he's gone to the extra trouble...I just want to be sure we tip him appropriately...

    I would say anywhere in the 10-25% ballpark depending on his performance would be totally acceptable.
