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!
We had our wedding at Sweeney Barn and Chris did amazing!!! I know he did amazing because all my guest are still talking about how good our DJ was and how good the sound was and everything. We had guest saying they went home and still had to listen to music to because of Chris the mixes were great!! He really takes care of his clients and give the perfect advice!! He made sure we got what we wanted. I will recommend over and over again. He is the BEST DJ !!!!
We had our wedding at Riverview and hired Chris for music and up lighting. Chris was amazing! He ran our whole wedding from the ceremony music to the reception music. He focused on the bride and groom and did exactly what we wanted. He had everyone dancing all night long - the dance floor was never empty. He was skilled at incorporating both American and Latin music. He even was familiar with the Polish Dollar Dance! We highly recommend hiring Chris for your event!!
We are so happy we booked Chris to be the DJ at our wedding in September 2022. He did an excellent job and our friends left the wedding wishing it went longer because they were having so much fun on the dance floor. We got so busy with planning the month prior to our wedding that we gave Chris very little guidance but he did a perfect job reading the room and creating the perfect atmosphere. He is meticulous with his work and doesn't miss any details - he was our second wedding planner making sure the day ran smoothly. He did the mics and music for our ceremony and it went beautifully. He also did uplighting around our venue which turned out great and added to the festive mood. Highly recommend!
People danced all night and Chris was great! He was perfectly able to capture the mood and transition from song to song. He was easy to work with and flexible with last minute requests. Chris did a great job reading the energy of the room and kept the party going!
Very great great DJ!!!
I have been to several weddings, however this DJ is the BEST I have ever seen!
He respond very fast every time so it made me feel so comfortable. He did DJing more than 2000 weddings already, so trust me you will love him so much!
He knows about weddings a lot, so he gave us many suggestions when we have questions. Very helpful.
We chose our "Must Music", and his arrangement was perfect! All of the music always comes at the perfect time!
The MC was also so good, loved his voice!
Highly recommended!!!
Chris is incredible! The DJ was the vendor I was probably the most nervous about choosing, because my husband is a huge audiophile and had a LOT of strong ideas and opinions. We wanted someone who would be able to play a lot of great crowdpleasers, but would also cover his (and his friends) EDM tastes later in the night. In addition, we had an incredibly logistically complicated wedding: a hybrid Jewish-Hindu wedding with different tracks for him to play during the ceremony, and a baraat at a venue that had never done one before. Chris did an incredible job getting the audio all across our venue, Woodend--the sound was perfect throughout--and nailing every cue. His attention to detail is remarkable. There wasn't a single dud tune that drove everybody off the floor, and he even mixed the tunes perfectly in between (something my husband cared about a lot) as if it were an EDM concert. He even went above and beyond, loaning his personal computer monitors to serve as TVs (we had babysitters upstairs for our little-kid guests). Chris will talk--a lot--with you on the phone, but his announcement/DJ demeanor is calm and minimalist, which we loved. He does cost more than most DJs in the area, but considering how much equipment and extras we needed for the baraat, we really appreciated how straightforward his pricing was, and honestly, he is a cut above the other DJs we've seen at weddings and that we interviewed. For us, it was well worth it.
Chris provided DJ services for our wedding ceremony earlier this month. He was professional, very responsive, and incredibly kind, even throwing in services for our cocktail hour! I would highly recommend Chris for other people looking for a DJ, thanks Chris!
We met Chris at a vendor open house our venue was hosting about a year before our wedding, and booked him a few months later. What a great decision that turned out to be! Chris had worked several events at our venue before (The Woodlands at Algonkian) so it was a huge weight off our shoulders to have one less thing to coordinate - his experience made us comfortable that everything would flow smoothly on the day, and it did! He was super helpful with ceremony music selections, and even made us a custom track for the processional when the selection we wanted wasn't quite long enough. As for the reception, we gave him a list of maybe a dozen songs, said "this is the vibe we're looking for" and trusted him to build out the playlist from there. He did an AMAZING job, kept our guests on the dance floor all night, and it was one less thing on our plates - truly invaluable during the crunch time of wedding planning. He also provided uplighting at our venue that really elevated the look of the space!
Chris is the best DJ in the game! He is professional, organized, and super personable. He is extremely knowledgeable about the industry, and offered us several great pieces of advice that helped our event flow smoothly, like when to do parent dances, how many songs to use for our processional, etc. He also cued all of our songs perfectly for each event of the night, and having him as our MC helped keep things moving according to our timeline. Our event was small, only about 30 guests, but Chris kept the dance floor moving and grooving all night. I would recommend Chris to everyone!
Our friends had hired Chris Laich Music for their wedding, so when it was our turn we knew who to choose! DJ Bill provided the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and every song choice was perfect! We wanted our guests to stay on the dance floor and they were there dancing the night way until the very last song! DJ Bill was super responsive and answered all of our questions (like what length song do we need for the processional and how will our guests hear us read our vows). He got to the venue early to scope everything out and set up his equipment. You could hear the music throughout the venue, which was great! 10/10 would recommend!
We wish we could rate Chris higher than 5 stars. He was our favorite wedding vendor to work with and remained flexible, helpful, and funny throughout the planning process! Chris’ dj-ing was top quality, but his pricing was more than reasonable. You cannot do better than Chris if you want an easy planning process, amazing music, and a fun experience at your wedding!
Chris was our first wedding vendor booked after we committed to our reception space as having a quality DJ for our ceremony and reception was paramount in our wedding planning process. He was recommended to us by our venue. He met every conversation with such enthusiasm towards his work, honest feedback regarding each of our timeline decisions, and was supportive and encouraging about all of our selections. Our ceremony music was executed perfectly, and his speakers are small and of extremely high quality. Chris provides uplighting as well, if desired, for an additional cost, which helped transform our reception space. We did not have a wedding coordinator, and Chris took command of the room in a very unobtrusive way once we started dinner (ie, he did not talk too much, but rather swiftly kept things moving and pronounced everything perfectly). He seamlessly guided the room through dinner, toasts, first dances, and then dancing for the rest of the night, much like his music transitions on the dance floor. Chris helped us develop our first dance mashup with our guidance, and made it come to life. He did this as part of our whole package even though we asked for help with this after committing to everything. It was one of our favorite memories from our day and we were so thankful for his help. We would highly recommend Chris as you will be getting a skilled veteran in the industry who has perfected his craft, is extremely knowledgeable about music, and will help guide you through what could have been a very stressful reception!
Chris was honestly my favorite vendor of our whole wedding experience. Not only is he incredibly responsive (one time I emailed him on a Sunday not expecting to hear back and he got back to me within 10 minutes for a totally impromptu call), he truly loves what he does and is passionate about providing the best possible experience to his clients. He was incredibly receptive to all our ideas, but was also good about speaking up and offering his expertise in other areas to enhance the timing and pacing of the entire event. He was also ready to tell me when he was worried an idea might not work. That level of honesty (politely packaged!) is something you can't buy. As a former event planner, I can tell you that getting the event pacing right is one of the hardest parts, but we nailed it, all thanks to Chris. And the dance floor! We told him to just "read the room" and it was one of the most lively dance floors I've ever experienced. All my guests were so impressed by him. I will truly miss talking to him! He was so fun and supportive and made me feel so at ease. His pricing was also super reasonable and all inclusive. He handled audio for the ceremony-- which was complicated because I had a videographer AND a livestream that needed to plug in. He coordinated with them both separately and everyone was able to hear everything perfectly. I'm so blown away and I hope anyone reading this will do the right thing and pick Chris for your wedding!
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 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!
I knew with in the first 10 minutes of talking to Chris on the phone he was the DJ for us! He’s been in this industry for years and it shows! Our friends and family loved the music and people were on the dance floor all night long! He knew our venue better than us and was able to help us figure out the best way to organize our day based on the space! He even dealt with numerous phone calls with my dad! I would highly recommend him!!
Aaron, our DJ from Chris Laich Music, was wonderful! He really understood what we were looking for (no line dances or cliches, no grandstanding or "look at me" DJ behavior). He was so polite and easy to work with and our families both thought he kept the show moving without being a distraction. He was good at reading the room and knew when to play fast songs, slow songs, oldies, and more current songs. We were so impressed!
Chris Laich DJed our son's wedding this past weekend. It was terrific working with him. He met with us twice to discuss our preferences and to provide information about what we should expect. At the wedding he was professional and expert at reading the room and selecting music that got folks up to dance. He helped make the wedding a great success.
Chris Laich is a fantastic DJ and experienced in managing the flow of a wedding. He helped make our day special and fun. He facilitated our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music. He made our first dance special, and tailored it to what we wanted. We danced all night and all of our guests had a great time, in no small part due to his efforts. We had guests asking him where they could buy his mixes they enjoyed them so much!
Chris had flawless transitions and kept our guests dancing till the last minute!
We hired Aaron Platt and he was beyond incredible. Music blending and selection were spot on, and most of all his consistent reminding us of our schedule was the lynch pin for the entire wedding. Without Aaron, I'm sure the entire wedding would not have gone as smoothly as it did.
Chris was fantastic! He could really read the crowd, and kept the energy up for a great night of dancing. He also really took into account what my husband and I wanted for the flow of the day. Everyone has be raving about the DJ from my wedding!
After being to many weddings, my husband and I realized how important good entertainment is to the life of the reception. Add in that my husband is a little bit of an audiophile, and we were very selective in our choice for ceremony audio and reception entertainment. Michael Tate, part of Chris Laich Music Services, was exactly who we wanted. Our ceremony was seamlessly wired for sound, and we had no audio issues. For the reception, Michael continued his great work by keeping the dance floor packed! We also had several cuts for music (entrances, cake cutting, etc.) and Michael did not miss a beat with any of them. The portfolio of music Michael had was broad, and he was able to please the musical taste of multiple generations! Even though the price was higher than what my husband and I were expecting to play for a DJ, they are worth even penny and were honest and transparent with us throughout the process. We highly recommend Michael and the rest of the Chris Laich team!
We were very pleased with Chris - he had our guests out on the floor and dancing the entire evening. We didn't give him a whole lot of guidelines (he is the professional), just that we had guests of all ages and we wanted to make sure they all had a good time. Chris delivered. He kept everything on track, was very professional in his announcements, and kept a really good pulse on the crowd. Leading up to the wedding, he was incredibly responsive and made a number of excellent recommendations for other vendors. Overall - a pleasure to work with.
Highly recommend.
Ross Anderson was our fantastic wedding DJ. He was extremely professional through out our whole experience with him. We were also impressed with his personality as a wedding DJ-- he was classy but also really fun. I also really liked how Chris Laich/Ross Anderson had pictures available about what their set up would look like at our venue (Woodend Sanctuary). The speakers, etc had a small footprint-- the sound quality, etc was also fantastic. Definitely Recommend :-)
FANTASTIC! Chris kept everyone up and dancing...absolutely the best.....really super job!
He is easy to work with..great communication. Highly recommend!
