Is gratuity isn't included in your package what percentage do you normally give?

Re: DJ

i gave $100 to the MC, $75 to the DJ.

If you booked a zap shots guy, percussionist, etc from them, you need to tip them too, though.

Re: DJ

That's a good question.

Also, what if your MC owns the company... do you tip him??

i would still tip them the same amount ... i really don't think owning the company should affect anything. They're providing a service to you and, assuming they do a good job, should get tipped for it. I'm sure others will disagree though ... but that's just my opinion

you can always give a little less to save money (cause tipping is the worst thing ever )

Re: DJ

My DJ, Photographer, and Videographer is all one company...so their suggested grat was 15%. Since the bill is a decent size I guess it seemed like a lot when I figured it out. Is 15% normal? I'm going to have a 2 photographer, a zap shot photographer, dj, mc, and videographer
