We used Chris to DJ our recent wedding, and it was one of our best decisions! Chris was amazing!!! We loved working with him. He was fun and professional. Besides being a great DJ, he really knows the wedding industry. In fact, you can probably do without a wedding planner because Chris really helped us set all of the timing for our big day. Besides playing all the music we liked, he introduced every aspect of the wedding - cake cutting, first dance, speeches, etc. He even gave us some suggestions that helped personalize our big day. We had multiple guests comment on Chris and how much they liked him. We thought he did the best job and was one of the best vendors we hired for the wedding. If we hold any other event in the future, we are definitely giving him a call!

Chris Laich's Music Services was a phenomenal DJ service for our wedding. My wedding planner recommended Aaron Platt (Chris's associate) to be our personal DJ for the wedding and I couldn't have asked for a more responsive DJ. He gave us lists of song choices during our first meeting with him and those helped to give us a sense of the songs to choose for the various ritual dances. But the best service was ofcourse during the wedding... Aaron was impeccable in his ability to politely organize the crowd for the various activities such as ready them for the first dance or the cake cutting... We had a special dance for our parents after the traditional ones and then an unexpected moment where my husband's grandmother came to dance with him. Aaron was quick to put on an Etta James song that made it seem to everyone that we'd planned for such a dance. His song choices for the night of dancing were perfect with a Gaga compilation thrown into the mix that I'd never heard before but though... Read moret was amazing. He even ended on the songs "Living on a Prayer" and "Don't Want to Miss a Thing" that I'd requested. I couldn't rank Chris Laich Music Services and Aaron Platt any higher. They are so easy to work with and they deliver what you want on the day of the wedding.

We hired Chris Laich DJ services and were matched with DJ Bill Irwin. Both Chris and Bill were so professional, responsive and talented. During a crazy chaotic year, our DJ Bill Irwin made sure we knew he was ready to DJ at our event which was much appreciated! Bill listened to our requests, kept the dance floor lively (even when we had to cut out guest list to a smaller group). Bill was able to check-in with my husband and I during the event as well as read the reception to create an unforgettable dance floor. They also set up white up-lighting and it was so beautiful in our venue. Loved using Chris Laich DJ services and couldn't recommend them more!

We had Aaron, from Chris Laich Music Services DJ our wedding. We initially spoke with Chris but we didn't feel it was a great personality match for us, so we asked to speak to Aaron and were more comfortable with him. The sound quality was amazing (Chris will tell you that his sound system is unparalleled in DC... I can't say for sure if it is or not, but everything sounded perfect for us. This was super important to us because we've known people who were married at our venue (a large, marble covered museum) and we've been warned that sound quality can be terrible - many people said that they couldn't hear anything during ceremony/speeches, and we wanted to avoid that. Well, huge success on that front. Additionally Aaron CRUSHED IT as a DJ. My husband and I were very free about the playlist, and I was AMAZED by how well Chris kept everyone dancing. I don't think I've ever seen a wedding with such a packed lively dance floor. Worth every penny.

Chris was recommended to us by a good friend and after talking to Chris it was a no brainer to go with him. Chris was booked the day of our wedding, so Bill was our DJ on the actual day. Bill was great! Responsive, walked through day of timeline with us, asked all the right questions to make sure we had thought through everything regarding music and tempo and vibe all the way from pre-ceremony music to the last song. Bill let us be very specific about our music - like provided our own playlists specific! - and would add his advice and suggestions as he saw fit, while still ensuring he was letting us drive the vision we wanted. For parts of the evening where we didn't provide a lot of specifics, Bill took care of everything and adjusted the music to the mood in the room. I was worried about going with a DJ at first, but Bill got everyone dancing from the first dance to the end and was a pleasure to work with!

Chris was the DJ at my sister's wedding 8 years ago and I knew we wanted to book him as soon as we confirmed our wedding date! He was great to work with leading up to the wedding (asking about our priorities, confirming song requests, etc). And the music at the wedding itself was incredible!!! He started with some more of our classic requests (Motown, etc) and steadily built up throughout the night to more modern music so that the last two hours of the reception had a completely packed dance floor! Our guests (parents and friends alike) were all raving about Chris and we truly could not have asked for a better party! We had the utmost confidence that Chris would make sure all of the different aspects of the night flowed well and he exceeded expectations--we cannot recommend him highly enough!

I sent in a request for information to Chris and from the first 10 mins on the phone with him I knew he was the DJ for us and I was so right! He was amazing! Our friends loved the music and so did our parents! It was a great mix of music! He knows what he’s talking about and he helped so much with even giving us his thoughts on how the day should go based on the venue you picked! I highly recommend!!

Chris Laich was our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception DJ and he was amazing!! Chris is a total pro, which is clear from the first time you talk with him. He was referred to us by our wedding planner and we are so glad he was! He walked us through his entire, thorough process from setup to take down. We knew that hiring someone so detail oriented would mean we would have to worry about zero details on our big day, and that was very much the case! Chris setup discrete speakers for our ceremony and provided microphones for our officiant, our readers, and the bride and groom so everyone could hear all of us. The cocktail hour music was lovely and he kept the party going all night, the dance floor was never empty. Chris also did the uplighting of our venue, which was absolutely gorgeous. We would highly recommend hiring Chris, he will make sure your event is a hit!

We were so happy with our decision to hire Chris as our DJ. Chris did an amazing job playing music that was appropriate for every event during our wedding day, he incorporated our favorites and filled in with music that everyone would enjoy. He was also extremely aware of the timeline and worked with the other vendors to ensure everything was on time and everyone was notified when the different event were occurring. Cannot recommend Chris enough!

We got married in April 2019 and Chris was our DJ. We can’t say enough good things! He was so thorough and responsive through the entire planning process. He did an amazing job with all the music - from the ceremony to dinner to the reception. He played exactly the music we liked and was super upbeat and got our guests up and dancing. He was also able to supply our gorgeous uplighting at a really reasonable price. Would 100% recommend him!

We worked with Chris himself (as opposed to one of his associates). You will definitely pay more for Chris than the average market rate, but the investment is definitely worth it. The DJ has a uniquely large impact on the "feel" of your wedding, and is frankly in a position to make or break the event. We appreciated that Chris was forthright and up front about the fact that his prices were above average and that he explained why he believed he was worth the extra money. After our wedding, we can say that he definitely was worth it. Chris is very enthusiastic, and to be honest, it can be tough to get a word in when talking with him sometimes, but that's what you want in a DJ--someone who isn't going to be at a loss for words and who will keep the event (and party) flowing. He did a GREAT job listening to us re: our music preferences, and we couldn't be happier with how he managed the dance floor and the flow of the party. Highly recommend!

We worked with Aaron Platt for our ceremony and reception and cannot say enough good things about him. He kept everything flowing seamlessly and we didn't once have to worry that the schedule was off. He did a great job "reading the room" and played music that kept guests dancing all night. We would absolutely recommend working with Chris/Aaron!

Chris is an incredible DJ! Not only does he play great music but he is very knowledgeable about weddings in general. Working with him was a huge relief, there were so many little details that we had no idea were so important! Chris knows how to keep people dancing! For days after our wedding we heard, "I kept wanting to sit down and take a break from dancing but each song was just so good I couldn't stop!" We are so thankful to have had Chris DJ our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. His equipment is powerful yet sleek. We couldn't have done it without him! Everyone was sore from dancing, my husband ripped his pants from dropping it low and so did his groomsmen! 100% would recommend!

Chris thinks of everything sound related. He worked seamlessly with our live musicians and officiants for the ceremony/cocktail hour, and ran everything for the reception and dancing, including mics for toasts and dinner music. He offered ideas for how to integrate with our recording devices and provided us with files that we needed, which was a huge help to us and beyond what we expected from him. It also helped that he has worked so often with our venue, Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, so he knew the space and the staff there, further alleviating the need for us to think of everything little thing. On top of this, Chris knows music. We had a somewhat unconventional song selection, but he understood our taste immediately and mixed songs together, read the dance floor, etc. We were very happy with everything. Highly recommend. Thank you, Chris!
