Read MoreWhen planning a wedding, couples are often faced with the daunting task of budgeting for a multitude of expenses. While it can be tempting to cut costs wherever possible, it's important to consider the long-term impact of these decisions. Let’s be real… People won’t be talking about the flower center pieces or the tastiness of a specialty cocktail. One key area where married couples agree is investing in the wedding DJ. Not only does the DJ set the tone for the entire reception, but they also play a crucial role in creating a memorable experience for guests.

Read MoreIn the late 2000s, a certain prominent wedding website posted a blog about what to tip your wedding DJ. At the time, they suggested 10%-15%, or $100. Unfortunately, this particular article did the rounds and other websites copied it.
