The Question Everyone Wants to Ask: How Does a DMC Actually Charge?

You know you’re thinking it, but don’t want to be the one to ask:

How does a DMC charge, and why would I share commission with them?

Fair question. When you’re managing a million moving parts, every dollar, and every decision, counts.

👉Some DMCs charge a management fee.

👉Others build in a margin.

👉Sometimes, that margin is shared with the planner.

👉It’s not one-size-fits-all.

The thing is, a good DMC isn’t just booking services. They’re protecting your time, your budget, and your reputation. They’re the ones who know which venue actually has reliable AV, which boat captain runs on time, and which “authentic local experience” is a tourist trap.

They are your secret weapon.

And if you're going to bring someone in, and share commission or pay a fee, make sure it’s someone worth it.
