Typically, couples tip their wedding DJ between 10% and 20% of the total DJ cost.

Flat Fee

A common alternative is a flat fee, usually ranging from $50 to $150

Service Quality

Consider the quality of service provided. If the DJ went above and beyond, a higher tip might be appropriate.

Tips are usually given at the end of the reception, either directly to the DJ or through a trusted person like the wedding planner.
