Excellent DJ!

We had the pleasure of working with Chris Laich as our wedding DJ, and he was absolutely fantastic! From the start, Chris was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to go over every detail with us. He was always available to answer questions and helped guide us through the planning process.

Our main goal was to create a fun and lively atmosphere that would keep our guests dancing all night, and Chris nailed it! He took our playlist seriously and made sure nothing from our "do not play" list sneaked in, which we really appreciated. The venue itself was a historic mansion, so it had some unique audio needs, but Chris was a pro. Having worked at the venue many times, he was already familiar with the layout and made sure all the sound equipment was set up perfectly, even for the different spots at the reception. We got married outdoors, and everything went off without a hitch thanks to Chris.

One of the standout moments was when we fell behind on our timeline. Chris noticed it and came to us to let us know, but reassured us that everything was fine. He smoothly adjusted things and helped keep the day moving, making sure the event flowed naturally despite the delays.

Overall, working with Chris Laich was a pleasure. He was a great DJ who helped create an energetic, fun environment while also keeping everything running smoothly. We highly recommend him for anyone looking for a professional and personable DJ who truly knows how to keep the party going!

Best dj ever

Chris was one of our favorite vendors we hired for our wedding. From our first phonecall, Chris's energy was infectious. He is a true talent and made our wedding sound, lighting, and music absolutely perfect. Our venue was a challenge with acoustics and Chris ensured that everyone could hear music/speeches from anywhere on the property. We also hired him to light our reception space and he did a phenomenal job. Look no further for the best DJ and sound man in the DMV!

Chris was fantastic!

We hired Chris as our DJ and have zero regrets. We hired him about a year out and were impressed with his experience. But even with all that, he was always about what our choices were and was flexible on that -- he found the exact versions of songs we requested (including a song from a Disney movie that I really wanted to play during the reception). In addition to keeping to our timeline and keeping the party going through the night, Chris also did the sound for our ceremony and provided uplighting for the venue. Overall, we loved working with Chris and would do so again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Chris is a genuine pro! I love working with Chris because I know that the equipment will always work and that he and his staff will be on top of every detail to assure that the guest will be able to clearly hear what is happening in the wedding ceremony. Also, Chris is fun to work with because of his knowledge and experience in working as a team with the other vendors. Great service, no worries, no disappointments. I highly recommend Chris and all of his well-trained DJ's.
