What is the difference between a Disc Jockey (DJ) and a Master of Ceremonies (Emcee)?
These two terms are usually used in entertainment package descriptions and it is important that you understand the difference between them. A disc jockey is the individual selecting your music and operating the sound and sometimes lighting equipment. The Master of Ceremonies is the individual who interacts with your guests and makes all formal announcements. In some cases there may be one entertainer who handles both of these responsibilities. If you are looking for a party in which there is a large amount of interaction with your guests, it is usually recommended to contract a two-man team (DJ & Emcee) because it allows for greater flexibility. If you are looking for a more cost effective solution, consider having one entertainer provide both services.
