CHRIS LAICH

ing 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!

quests. Chris did a great job reading the energy of the room and kept the party going!

ing 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!!!

nted 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.

I would highly recommend Chris for other people looking for a DJ, thanks Chris!

d 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!

ce 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!

nd 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!

j-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!

ess. 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!

t 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!

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!

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!

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!!

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!

uld 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.

usic. 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!

entire wedding. Without Aaron, I'm sure the entire wedding would not have gone as smoothly as it did.

ow of the day. Everyone has be raving about the DJ from my wedding!

nd 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!

hat 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.

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 :-)
