Is it necessary to hire a DJ?

Hello! I'm trying to think of ideas to save money on a wedding … We talked about the possibility of not hiring a DJ and instead just creating music equipment borrowed from a friend, and connect our laptop which has over 4000 songs (most are downloaded legally in iTunes). So I guess if you only play songs downloaded in iTunes, it would be legal, and could only create a playlist for the reception and then let guests request songs that are on the computer. But is it important to hire a DJ? Are there other things that we need them? Or can not the MC just make announcements that would normally DJ?

I'm all for saving money, but there are some things you need to spend a little more in order to make things go well. A dj is not required but having attended a wedding where the couple chose the music and put on an iPod or computer, we would have much better to go the route dj guests left early due to bad music presentations. A DJ has the experience to be able to read the crowd and to respond and not the music and adjust accordingly. With a preset list, which is not an option. In addition, the music you love can be fun to hear, but not dance. That happens much. The best DJs are those that play music and say no more, unless you are told to. You do not need an MC. Most adults are mature enough to be able to figure out for themselves what is going on as is the case.
