Something that we’ve been asked as event entertainment planners is; “What is the difference between a master of ceremonies (MC) and a DJ?” While your nephew may claim that he can do both for a “small fee”, these are traditionally two different wedding entertainment roles.

However, there are some DJ’s that may be able to make announcements and such, it all depends on the entertainment company. Be sure to ask when hiring your wedding entertainment.
The Difference Between A Wedding DJ And An MC

If you’ve been to a wedding with an MC, You saw that they are the ones that announce dinner times and the couple’s first dance as man and wife. An MC can bring as much or as little personality to the stage as you’d like. Some couples will appreciate having a few laughs while others may prefer a more uniform wedding and reception. An MC can entertain your guests, especially if they bring a little personality into their announcements.
