I'm very comfortable acting as the M/C for various events. I also keep wedding receptions on time, almost like a wedding coordinator. I've been doing this for over 25 years! I truly enjoy seeing my wedding clients years later with big happy families. I happy to know that I was a very small part of their early life together. At parties, it gives me joy to be able to keep people dancing all night long and give them sore feet!!!

How much should you tip a DJ?

The standard tip for a DJ ranges from 15% to 20% of their total fee, depending on the even type, duration, and complexity, and the services provided.
