MASTER OF CEREMONIES
WHAT IS An EMCEE?
Every wedding reception needs a person that makes sure things keep moving forward. This person knows your wishes and, ideally, was involved in the planning process. This person becomes the host of your reception, introduces all the key moments, and is an expert at making things run smoothly. A wedding planner does all of this but they won't be standing in front of everyone with a microphone in their hand. The person doing that will be your master of ceremonies and most of the time that's your DJ.

A GOOD ONE VS. A BAD ONE
A DJs ability as a master of ceremonies can make or break a wedding DJ. It's one of the biggest things that separates DJs from Wedding DJs. Think of a fancy award show on television; the host is the MC. A bad one is monotone (or overly dramatic), sheepish (or brazen and crass), mumbly (or boisterous), or boring (or thinks they're a comedian).
At a wedding, an MC may stumble through introductions by botching names (or slowly and unnaturally pronouncing every last syllable as though they are a robot). They may look disorganized (or have their eyes glued to a page as though they're reading from a script). They may look too comfortable (and make lots of mistakes), or be way too serious and formal sweating all the while.
