Chris Laich - Music Services

Amazing! Aaron was the DJ the day of our wedding and he was very professional and courteous to not only me, but every guest. My husband and I met with Aaron a few weeks before our wedding and it was very relaxed and informal. We selected a few "must plays" at the reception, but Aaron took our list and made it his own. He played music everyone enjoyed and the dance floor was never empty! The enthusiam Chris Laich has for music and making sure everyone has a good time is absolutely fantastic and I will definitely recommend them to other brides-to-be!! The value we received for their services was also spectacular!

Best DJ ever. Seriously... I'm so glad I didn't go with a band. Chris played all the songs we wanted and also had the musical prowess to get our parents, grandparents, and friends out on the floor... all at the same time! What a blast! I have been getting calls from friends and family ever since... everyone says it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding and Chris had a TON to do with that. Perfect.

Chris was highly recommended to us by our venue and we were very satisfied with his professionalism and flexibility. Prior to the wedding we gave him a list of songs and artists that we liked and he mixed them all into a wonderful evening of music! We gave him the schedule of events and he kept the party moving right along. He was also able to read the crowd on the dance floor and quickly change the music (if needed) to keep everyone there.

We had the pleasure of having Chris Laich from Chris Laich, Music Services as our DJ for our January 2012 wedding. Chris was amazing! Chris kept in touch during our whole planning process, especially during the final 2 weeks and he provided suggestions for our schedule so that everything would flow. Chris started off with creating a wonderful atmosphere for our cocktail hour mixing in “traditional” music with more contemporary music. Our reception was an absolute party the entire evening. For our reception, Chris kept the dance floor packed all night! Chris started off the night with some oldies to get the dancing started and had a selection of music that progressed through the night to a full out party atmosphere by the end of the night! He does an amazing job “reading” the crowd and plays the music that the guests respond to. The result was a fantastic party! We received so many compliments from our guests, many telling us they “have never had so much fun at a wedding” or that they “ have never danced that much at a wedding.” Chris is a very low key DJ he keeps announcements to a minimum and keeps the dance floor moving. He is very professional and very easy to work with. We were so lucky to be able to book Chris for our wedding; he even offered us a discount because our wedding was during the “off peak” wedding season. You will not regret the amount that you spend having Chris as your wedding DJ. He is worth every penny and you and your guests will have a fabulous time!! We would not hesitate recommending Chris Laich as your DJ for your wedding or other event.

Chris is the best DJ in town! If you want great music but also someone who’s good at the “flow” of the evening, Chris is your guy. He sat down and helped us plan the run of show for our reception, something I would not have known how to do. We wanted someone who knew how to please the crowd but that wasn’t talking throughout the night. He is high energy when you meet with him but at our event he only talked when necessary. I’ve gone to several weddings where the DJ talked WAY too much and Chris just is the opposite. He was one of the best parts of our night and I can’t imagine having anyone else be our DJ. A true professional.

We had Chris Laich DJ at our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier. He gave us exactly what we asked for. He promised to pronounce our bridal party perfectly, was very accommodating towards our needs, and provided insight on how to deal with sensitive issues regarding our family. He was energetic without being overbearing. Although we were worried that he was very chatty during our initial conversations with him, he was very professional during the wedding day. He exceeded his claims of being one of the best dj’s in the nation.

Chris and Ray are amazing. There is no cheesy music picked and they don't try to be the entertainment of the reception like a lot of DJs. Ray played all of the music we requested prior to the ceremony and really gave us some great suggestions. We also had some untraditional music choices for our ceremony and he had absolutely no problem going with the flow. They are worth the price!

Chris deserves all of the awards he has received. We hired him for our wedding and he earned the top ratings in all of the categories for the same reasons others have provided. But I wanted to add a few comments that were critical to our having a great experience, but unexpected when we hired him. In planning the order of the reception, he suggested that we send it to him so he would be prepared for the music at the right time. We did and in return he proposed several changes which we adopted. Those changes were invaluable, and significantly improved the flow and feeling of the the reception. In addition, he told us one the order was done to simply enjoy ourselves and he and Festive Foods would work together and be flexible so that the reception would be great. And he and Festive did just that!! Chris completely assisted us during the reception so enjoyed everything and was flexible that enhanced everything. Our guests told us it was one of the best if not best wedding they had every attended and Chris was a major reason for it. So with Chris, you not only get a great DJ, but you have a person who is part of your wedding team and is so much more. He is a gem.

I am so glad we hired Chris to DJ the after party at our wedding! He took the time to ask me what kind of music we wanted him to play, and read the atmosphere of the party perfectly. He made the after party just as good as the wedding!

When you first talk with Chris you know they are different. They are more expensive and Chris will tell you that right off the bat. But they provide an environment. Not just music. And really they are worth every penny! Mike was our DJ. He was awesome! Great personality and easy to work with. We told him we wanted a party with people dancing all night long and he delivered. Simply Awesome.

I know it seems almost unbelievable to give a vendor a perfect 5 out of 5 but I could not be happier with my DJ services from Chris Laich. We were lucky to get Aaron as our DJ and I cannot say enough good things about him and this company. Not only were they easy to work with throughout the engagement process, our wedding went off without a hitch. Aaron pronounced everything perfectly, help the flow of the night without a hitch and from song #1 the dance floor was completely packed. My number one goal for my wedding was to make sure that all of my guests were up and dancing and there were never any lulls. Everyone had such a great time and the dance floor was certainly never empty! I would higher Chris Laich's Services a million times over! I can truly say I have not a single complaint.

Summary: Incredibly talented and kept the dance floor packed the entire night Because our venue had a round floor plan and a domed ceiling, we wanted a DJ that had previous experience with our exact venue. Someone unfamiliar with our venue may have issues with sound management. Chris and team are some of the best and most experienced wedding DJ’s in the DC area. The booking process with Chris was extremely easy and straight forward. They may not be the cheapest in the area, but you’ll definitely get quality with them since a DJ pretty much manages the flow of the wedding right after the ceremony ends. Unfortunately Chris was already booked on the day of our wedding, but he highly recommended DJ Ross. We met with Ross in person twice before our wedding. First time was to gauge a fit and the second was to run through the details of the event. We immediately connected with Ross. He was extremely attentive to details and listened to our needs and preferences. In addition, he was able to offer thoughtful suggestions to enhance our day. We ended up booking Ross for both the cocktail hour and the reception. Ross was incredible at managing the flow of the wedding and kept the dance floor packed the entire night. We received so many compliments on the music and several guests contacted us after the wedding to request the play list. We highly recommend Chris Laich Music Services.

We had DJ Mike for our wedding reception. DJ Mike is very friendly and easy-going, he responds to email almost instantly and stays on top of planning. He played all the right music that my guests still rave about how my reception had the best music selection! Chris was very professional and easy to work with as well. Thank you for making our big day an unforgettable event!

Chris was an amazing DJ and we are so happy we chose him for our wedding! He always available anytime I would call with questions leading up to the wedding, which really put me at ease. We got married in an outdoor venue and the sound quality and balance inside and outside of the tent was perfect. We were also very pleased with how he played the Greek music we gave him and were complimented by many of the Greek guests about that. He was very professional but at the same time really fun to work with. I would recommend him to any couple in the DC area looking for a great DJ! Dominique Arvanitis

I was introduced to Chris through a friend who works in the wedding industry as well. I liked his style and how he wasn't showboating during the reception. I've been to a couple weddings were the DJ was cheesy and obnoxious. Not the case with Chris. I was impressed by his unobtrusive speakers that provided both high quality sound. Music at the right volume when eating. I always am annoyed when I'm stuck under a speaker that's blasting in my ears. I loved how he was able to place them throughout the rooms so that everybody got the same music. Another perk was his flexibility. There are always last minute issues for weddings and he assured me that I could add services if I needed them (i.e. speakers and mics for the ceremony). I think if somebody didn't have a wedding planner he would be an asset as he helps you with the timeline. Of course if you have an idea in mind you should stick to your guns. He definitely has great advice and it was nice to have his experience to guide me.

Chris Laich Music Services is awesome!!! We had a meeting with DJ Ross two weeks before our wedding to review our playlist and announcements for our Ceremony and Reception. DJ Ross was very attentive to our needs and provided us with his expertise regarding the flow for our nuptial. DJ Ross was excellent playing the music selections and even added some twists to the music to keep our guests on the dance floor the entire night with old school classics to popular hits. We loved the seclusion of the Bose speakers during the reception; the speakers were heard and not seen providing an intimate atmosphere while eating. DJ Ross kept the timeline of the event very precise announcing and playing everything at the right moments. DJ Ross was phenomenal!!! Thanks DJ Ross for making our dreams come true!!! We highly recommend Chris Laich Music Services for your wedding event, Go DJ!

I absolutely LOVED working with Chris Laich and Aaron (my DJ). Aaron was extremely professional and fun. He played great music and made sure that everything flowed well throughout the night. I would recommend this DJ to anyone! The quality of the music was also fantastic and although this service was not the cheapest one out there it was WELL WORTH IT!!! Thanks Chris and Aaron for making our night an amazing and unforgettable one!!

Chris Laich is a sure bet - you will not be disappointed if you book him for your wedding! He was one of the first DJs I reached out to based on reviews alone and after speaking with him, I knew I was in good hands and didn't need to look further. He was so flexible and accommodating (even with a date change due to unforeseen circumstances), and even helped me to find some of my other vendors, all of whom were fantastic. I explained exactly what kind of music I wanted, and he delivered. He got guests out on to the dance floor and kept them there all night. Chris is worth the investment if you're looking to ensure that your guests have a great time!

Chris was great to work with! He was flexible and funny. He was a pleasure to work with during the planning and the wedding. I definetly recommend him!

We used Ross Anderson from Chris Laich Music Services and he was GREAT!!!! He met with us two weeks before the wedding gave us suggestions on what songs to play for our entrance, cake cutting, dinner time etc and he was completely professional!!! He has a great feel for the crowd and he chooses his songs based on what everyone is responding to. He played a little bit of everything and the music never stopped!!! Great DJ and great company to work with! Chris was extremely helpful when we needed him and he was always quick to respond!!!!
