Comment on How do you feel when the dj at a private party has a Tip Jar? by riversconfluence

Lets see, my friend paid $1200 for a 4 person band, and they played 4 hours, minus the 15 minute break every hour. So each person got $300 for 3 hours work. At a hundred dollars an hour, that is 3x plus 16 bucks more than I make. Tip jar? I did not see one there, I am glad. It was just a local band, who played other peoples music at weddings, they were not seeking stardom, or playing original music. They played very well.
Old rule was a dollar for a requested song, I guess for a group, a dollar each. I doubt today that would get you a song.
It is now the custom to have a tip jar at a private party. It did not used to be.

I think it’s tacky, although I do think its appropriate he receive a tip from the person who paid for his services. If he has has a tip jar out there, then he should receive a tip from the person paying him for the job.

i think its walking around w/ ur hands outstretched and that can be a little obnoxious, but if u make a request and its granted give the dj a little something ($5-$15 maybe)

No, it’s not okay. First of all they get paid a flat fee ($200-$500 a event). So tipping him it’s not good. And nowadays they usually make a CD already so they don’t do much of the “DJ’ing”.

It’s not a problem if the dj is good. I would tip a few bucks to request a song.

Yeha I think it is ok. I mean, you don’t HAVE to tip him. And really, any tip is a good amount, and I think he would be thankful no matter what the tip.I mean if everybody threw in $1 he would still make some money, and people who really like the music might throw in anywhere from $5-$20.

As far as why he should be tipped, thats up to you, but it is basically tipping for good service, like you would a waiter/waitress. Tip good if you like what he plays, and wither don’t tip or don’t tip very much if you don’t.

That would be fine with me, I would give him a tip if he played some good music. 10 or 20 dollars would be a good amount to tip him for the entertainment. God bless
