We have talked about not hiring a DJ to save money and just downloading songs and playing them; we would have a couple people take turns to make sure everything plays and to switch songs if it's a dud. We do have an MC for the reception as well. What considerations are we missing? For example, a friend said their DJ had a wireless mic (we are checking with our venue in regards to their sound system). What else does a DJ bring to the table that we would have to replace or find someone to replace? Is it really worth the thousand + dollars?
Any thoughts, advice, suggestions, pros/cons, dos/don'ts etc would be greatly appreciated!
