First, they announce the bridal party. The bridal party just goes by the door and walks in as pairs when their names are called. Pick a special song for this. Although, you can skip the bridal party announcements if you like. Then, the DJ will announce you and your groom. Pick another special song for this. Have fun with it.
The DJ will announce the first dance. Then, there are the father-daughter dance and the mother-son dance. Sometimes, these are combined into one dance. Sometimes, there is a bridal party dance, but I think it's silly. Guests don't care about watching the bridal party dance with each other, and the bridal party feels awkward if they don't know the person they're dancing with too well.
Sometimes, there is a dollar dance. This is where all the guests get to dance with you and the groom, and pay a dollar to do so. This seems to be more regional though, and isn't done often.
Then, there can be the anniversary dance. All married couples get up on the dance floor and dance. The DJ will say "Anyone married less than a day, get off the dance floor" and you and your groom will depart. Then the DJ will say "Anyone married less than a year, get off the dance floor" and he'll keep going until one couple is left dancing, the oldest married couple there. For women who don't like the bouquet toss, it is nice to give the bouquet to the couple left dancing.
Besides all the dances, there is also the bouquet toss and the garter toss. Not everyone does these, because they're kind of cheesy, and it's getting harder and harder to get single women up on the floor to catch a bouqet.

The DJ doens't really have the wedding party "do" anything. The bridal couple should decide on a schedule of events for the reception and give a copy to the DJ so he/she can announce the entrance of the couple, the first dance, the toast, when dinner is served, the cake cutting, etc.
The couple should also have a song list prepared for the DJ of both music they want played and music the don't want played.
Ideally the DJ should have both lists before the wedding day and should run through the lists with the DJ so they can answer any questions the DJ may have.

A chum who's a positive speaker might want to act as MC on the reception- informing the visitors even as particular such issues because the reducing of the cake and speeches are going to take position. the mothers and fathers of the bride and groom might want to offer speeches on the reception. Poem readings in the course of the ceremony. If someone is sturdy at making a track they could sing on the ceremony or reception (e.g. in the course of the first dance). Handing out courses, performing as ushers, directing human beings to their seats, handing out bubbles/confetti/rose petals to throw on the bride and groom is a sturdy job for youths/responsible children you pick to contain interior the ceremony. you may want to have a chum force you to the ceremony and be in touch that way.
