I’m confused! Are DJs usually the Emcee, too? FI’s old friend has offered to DJ at our wedding for free! (We will tip him generously though for doing us the favor) That will definately save us some money and I’ve heard he’s pretty good. I will also go see him do his thing before the wedding just to make sure! The downside to this- the friend has said that he isn’t really an emcee and doesn’t interact with the crowd. I’ve heard that a good mcee can pump up the crowd and get the party going, so now I’m wondering if we should even go with him or maybe hire someone just to emcee? So confused.

I HATE DJ emcees.  Really.  I find them fake and annoying.  It would be refreshing and fun to attend a wedding where the DJ just mixed the music and didn’t try to own the moment.  I say go for it!  You can’t beat the price on a frendor!

A dj emcee is not only to get the “crowd going” they also announce the wedding party, first dance, flower toss, bouquet toss…things like that..
