Hi! FH and I are having a band at our wedding and when going over who we have to tip and how much we weren't able to find a definitive answer for the band members. The band has 6 pieces so if we have to tip each member $100 that's something I want to account for now. Does anyone know the rule for a multiple member band? Thanks!!

Re: Tipping Question- Band
I've been collecting info from a few different sites, I found this on theknot.com
Wedding Reception Band or DJ Whether you hire 12-piece swing band or grooving to a DJ, tipping musicians is completely optional. (Depending on the quality of the job and how willing they were to follow your ideal playlist!) And don't forget about any sound technicians they bring with them. Protocol: Optional, yet preferred The $tandard: $20 - $25 per musician; $50 - $150 for DJs When to Tip: At the end of the reception, by the best man.
Hope it helps! I believe you tip what you want based on the service you receive and what you can afford.
