Chong was the best wedding coordinator/DJ you could ask for! He put our wedding schedule together, helped pick out songs for us, walked us through rehearsals, MC’d our wedding, and DJ’d the entire event. The guests commented how fun our wedding was and Chong played a pivotal role. Great crowd work and efficiently kept events moving on schedule. Highly recommend Chong for any events you may want to put together!
Chong with Events By Lor was the best DJ and MC we could have imagined for our wedding celebration. From our first conversation, he was genuine, organized, and personable. I had a very specific vision for our ceremony and reception, and he nailed it. Our dance floor was packed the whole night. You will not regret hiring him for your event!
I cannot recommend Chong more for your next event! Throughout our wedding process, Chong was reachable and ready to help with any questions we had. He was well organized and reached out well in advance to set up meetings to ensure our music was perfect for our wedding day. We had an in person meeting to run through all things music, as well as general logistic items we hadn’t even thought about. The music and flow of our wedding day could not have been more perfect. Starting at cocktail hour, we were already getting compliments from guests about how great the music was. One of my bridesmaid’s noted she had to make a concerted effort to eat her dinner because she couldn’t stop dancing in her seat. Our dancefloor was packed all night and it was all thanks to Chong, his awesome music, and amazing mixing!! To top it all off, after the wedding he sent a full google drive of tons of content he and his assistant took throughout the day. Chong and his team are absolutely incredible to work with, I cannot recommend them enough!
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Chong for our wedding! From the preparation calls beforehand to ensure we had everything ironed out, from song mixes/must play songs to timelines, to the day of the wedding making sure everything went off without a hitch and going with the flow when we did get a bit off track, he was the epitome of professionalism and a good time! Our guests throughout the night had nothing but great things to say about music being played and the vibes being cultivated on the dance floor, and that was all a product of Chong.
If you are in need of a DJ for an event in Charlotte or the surrounding areas, we would highly recommend partnering with Chong!
As a DJ myself, who do you hire to DJ and Emcee your daughter’s Charleston wedding? The best! As a wedding DJ for the past 20 plus years, I know that the right entertainment can make or break the reception. Chong and I were coworkers for many years and I couldn’t think of anyone better to DJ my daughter’s wedding than him! I made the right decision. He knocked it out of the park. We had a blast. Stop looking now and book Events by Lor!!
Events by Lor did an extraordinary job at our wedding! Chong knows how to read the room and keep the dance floor lively and exciting. He really knows how to keep the party going! We appreciate his guidance with the timeline starting from beginning of ceremony to grand exit. Ronin his assistant was wonderful as well and captured some amazing content that I cherish so dearly! It gives us something to have while we wait to receive the ones from our videographer and photographer! We highly recommend booking Events by Lor for your event!!!
Chong is a 10/10! I have been to many weddings and (IMO) what makes a wedding a fun time and the reception memorable is the DJ. Chong really takes your requests and vibe into consideration. He plays what you want him to play, not just whatever. He feels out the dance floor as well. He is a very personable person and such a sweet guy to work with. I had a few guests after the wedding ask for his information. We loved and enjoyed having him for our day!
There are not enough words I can conjur to tell you just how perfect this DJ is. Before we even booked him he was so enthusiastic to help me and my husband. We had a Halloween wedding and boy did Chong deliver on his costume. This man put bacon on his face. That is dedication. He is extremely professional. He mapped out our whole night for us. He even did a remix of two songs for my mother/daughter dance! If you need a DJ, Events By Lorr is your person!
Chong is professional, warm and welcoming all at the same time!! He communicated with my husband and I throughout the process and executed exactly what we wanted for our wedding. There was no break from the dance floor because the music was POPPING!! I highly highly recommend him as a DJ!!
I cannot say enough good things about Events by Lor. From the minute we met with him, his passion for what he does was evident, and we knew he was going to do a killer job the day of our wedding. In fact, I recommended him to a friend before he even provided the service for us because I knew he was going to do fantastic and she booked him too. Come the day of the wedding, he absolutely crushed it and then some. While our expectations were already high, he blew them out of the water. He took everything we said at our planning meeting, no matter how small the detail, and put it all out there on the dance floor. People were dancing the entire night. I also really appreciated us gifting us uplighting since he knew the venue we chose was pretty dark.
We hired Chong for his DJ services for our wedding and it was fantastic. We could not have been more happy with his services. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for any occasion.
Chong and his team did a phenomenal job at our wedding! He was very accommodating with our time, professional, and easy going with our scheduled meetings. Chong took the time to get to know us as a couple and our taste in music. From MC to music, everything was flawless. Our guests had the BEST time on the dance floor, all night! We can’t thank Events by Lor enough for making our wedding day so memorable!
If you need some entertainment for your event, DJ Chong is the way to go!!! He will make sure that every guest is entertained!!
When I say DJ Chong is LIT, I mean he brought the fire to the dance floor at our wedding! I found Events by Lor on an Instagram story as he DJ'd for a multi-cultural wedding. I was on the lookout for a DJ + MC that was experienced in westernized and Vietnamese culture and had to inquire about his services. My now husband and I were set on him being our DJ at our wedding right after our initial consultation with him. He even travels (Our wedding was in Wilmington, NC). He ensured all my "to-play" suggestions were all considered (this included cultural songs) and we felt so special as all our suggested songs were played during ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. I had specific songs to give to him which was a mix my cousins made for their choreographed dance and also my bridal entrance song which he gladly placed on his list to play. He even worked/collaborated with one of our other vendors from another DJ company whom had CO2 cannons and jets at our wedding.. and let me tell you he had the place HYPE! During the time of shooting the CO2 cannon he played my requested mix of Levels by Avicii and transitioned into Pepas by Furruko. The crowd was literally going wild! The uplighting in his packages sets the mood for a party. DJ Chong and his team are prompt to answer any questions, there to give you song suggestions, and professional. You'll feel like you have made a new friend. DJ Chong will give you a wedding that is unforgettable and I highly recommend him, No words can't express how thankful we are to have him DJ + MC at our wedding, Thank you so much Events by Lor!!!
DJ Chong is the absolute BEST!! He did such an amazing job MCing and DJing our wedding ceremony and reception! First and foremost - he was extremely organized and professional throughout the entire planning process, as well as on the big day. I never had to worry about any kind of timing or logistics issues, which was a huge stress reliever!!
Second of all - he made the party so much fun!! I gave him a list of a few "must play" and "do not play" songs and he took those and did the perfect job of capturing exactly the type of vibe/energy/music that I was wanting. All of our guests could not stop talking about how much fun they had, and how great the music was!! The dance floor was full the whole night long! We had a wide range of ages that attended from college students to grandparents and Chong was able to make sure that everyone heard music that they enjoyed.
If you are looking for a DJ who is organized, knows how to ensure guests have a great time, and is just an overall good person then look no further than Events By Lor!!
I cannot recommend Events by Lor highly enough! Chong was so amazing to work with throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. His attention to detail and love of music shows in his personality and in his work. We were unsure of how to work a few aspects of our wedding and Chong had so many great recommendations! I really don't think our wedding would have been as special without his ideas and knowledge of the industry. He truly cares about his clients and making your event as special as can be. You will reach out as a potential client and by the time your event is over, you will leave as friends. Chong's wife Mai Ku came as his assistant and the two were a dynamic duo. Chong hit every must play and our dance floor was full the entire night. If you want to have a great experience with your DJ and have the crowd on the dance floor, your best option is to book with Events by Lor!
I absolutely recommend Events By Lor (Chong). The planning process was super easy. I was super specific about my song selections and Chong followed through with all my requests to a T. He's super helpful when it comes to any song recommendations and even brought up certain song selections that I didn't think about. Our wedding was so much fun and I really enjoyed the quick-mixing he did to keep the party going. 12/10 recommend!!
DJ Chong did a fantastic job at our wedding! He was great at keeping the party going and helped my husband choose his mother/ son dance song. All of his recommendations were fantastic and we got so many compliments from our guests! He and his wife are both incredibly personable and sweet! Having them in charge of the vibe for the night definitely calmed my nerves!
Chong was so easy to work with! He was so professional and helpful when it came to pick music for our wedding
DJ Chong did a wonderful job on our wedding!! I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a DJ for any special occasion or anyone looking for a good time to hire Events by Lor. Not only does he take time to get to know you personally, but he ensures every part of your event is perfect. My husband and I could not have chosen a better man for the job! My sister has also booked him for his wedding next year, so let that speak for us. 😊
DJ Chong was absolutely amazing to work with during our wedding!
He was fantastic at reading the room and making great song selections to keep the energy and dancing going during the reception. Not only was his ability to entertain superb, but his professionalism throughout the planning process was unmatched. Chong was able to take charge with coordinating with our other vendors and make great suggestions to allow the night to flow most smoothly.
Additionally, my wife and I on occasion have some difficulty making decisions but Chong was able to provide advice and options that made making decisions incredibly easy. He was also so incredibly flexible with meeting times to accommodate our busy schedules.
Overall, Chong made our wedding go seamlessly and we were incredibly happy with the intention and detail that he thought through our entire night. I would recommend Chong for any occasion he surpassed our expectations in all regards. Thank you again Chong for all your hard work during our special day!
If having a great party is on your must haves, HIRE CHONG! We really appreciated Chong wanted to meet us before booking, to ensure we were a compatible couple with his style. He took the time to really get to know us as a couple, our music taste and what we were looking for on our big day. Now - we had 2 pretty big asks of Chong 1) our entrance HAD to be Chicago Bulls style, a request of my husband. We also had played flip cup when we first entered this set the mood for the entire night so it needed to be full of energy. 2) I had a list of songs I wanted a piano version of for our ceremony. He absolutely delivered on BOTH of these, perfectly. Chong even attended our rehearsal which surprised me but I'm grateful because I had missed filling in a few songs for our processional. Another thing: our venue provided a sound system and Chong checked it out but still brought his regular setup. It's a good thing he did because once the space was filled with guests the system provided wasn't enough. He was professional and prepared for any challenge thrown his way during our special day, weather included.Our night was exactly how we pictured, the party kept going and all of our guests still tell us he was the reason they had a fantastic time. So far two attendees at our wedding are also using him for theirs!
Events by Lor was the DJ for my wedding and he was phenomenal! We chose him due to a recommendation from our wedding venue and we could not have been happier with that decision. He made sure we never had to worry about the timeline, kept our guests entertained throughout the day, and was an extraordinary MC. He helped keep our guests dancing and having an amazing time. I highly recommend Chong for your DJ needs and would 1000% use him again if we ever need one in the future!
My wife and I got married at the Oaks Events on 10.29.22 and we hired Chong at the recommendation of the Venue. Ironically, they pointed us to his old employer and said “ask specifically for Chong, he is amazing”. After finding Chong started his own group, we sat down with him and learned more about what he does as a DJ/MC. Eventually, we hired him.
Fast forward to our big day and let me tell you, all of our vendors shined. Chong made sure the event flowed smoothly and worked seamlessly with our videographer and photographers. He organized the event flawlessly, made sure the vibes were immaculate, and kept everyone on the dance floor. I personally enjoyed his professionalism throughout the entire day start to finish. I remember leaving the venue impressed with how kind and accommodating he was and a multitude of my guests came and complimented me on his services.
Keep it up Chong, I’ll recommend you to whoever I can.
If you are looking at him for your wedding, look no further and book him if you can.
OMG! Chong did such an amazing job! From our first consultation my husband and I knew we had to book him. Our wedding day was full with laughter, joy, and so much fun. Everything was coordinated so well. Even when we had to wing it, it fell right into place. Thank you Chong so much for such a great time! We'll definitely will be in touch again in the future. Highly recommend. He will not disappoint!.

Events by Lor! What more can I say! Chong and Mai ku were such a stupendous team to work with! These two made everything so easy and stress-free! I can’t say enough about how amazing they were helping walk us through our program for the entertainment! I would 110% highly recommend events by Lor as your DJ for any event! Don’t walk, run! Don’t sleep on the beat DJ ever!
Events by Lor is the best! I would highly recommend them for MC and DJ! They provided us with the best care and kept our partying going the whole night!
Chong was very friendly and professional. He helped plan and coordinate my sister’s timeline very well. He was amazing to work with.
Chong was such an amazing DJ and emcee for our intimate wedding! He was so helpful with planning and the wedding day timeline and rolled with last minute changes like a pro. It's like having a DJ and a planner all in one. With the small size of our wedding, I was worried not many people would dance, but Chong reassured me that he had it under control and he had everyone on the dance floor for the entire reception! He made our day so much fun! 10/10 recommend
Working with Chong, you not only get everything in your package, you get even more. With the high levels of stress and long list of to-do’s for us with the wedding, Chong stepped in to schedule meetings with us, called to check on us and get our opinions on things, created a day-of timeline for us, and also reached out to our vendors and venue to make sure things run perfectly without us having to add-on to our plate. We are so appreciative of his professionalism, assertiveness, and taking initiative. Chong knows how to work the crowd with his music selection. Our guests didn’t even want to leave! We highly recommend Chong and we guarantee you will not be disappointed.
DJ Chong and his team are simply the best in this industry! From pre-wedding planning to the actual wedding day, he was absolutely a pleasure to work with every step of the way. Even from assisting us in creating our wedding day agenda to accommodating the entertainment for all of our guests, there really was not anything he couldn’t do. He made it easy and convenient to meet with him via Zoom since we lived far from him. He is such a great professional and you forget you even hired him because he’s just that personable! Absolutely no regrets having him and his team at our wedding!
You are much more than an MC/DJ. You are so passionate in your career and we can tell you invest and coordinate all your efforts in making this night magical! Thank you for making us feel so special! You have brought soooo much joy and laughter on our big day! You ROCKED THE NIGHT, and stood by the agenda no matter how late it got! We love you, not only as an MC/DJ, but as a person! We’re so happy to build a lifelong friendship with you, Chong!
Chong with Events By Lor was top notch to work with. He was an amazing DJ at our wedding, always responsive, and well priced. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a DJ.
Hands down a great DJ! Does what needs to be done to be an awesome MC of the event. Professional and friendly to all. Would recommend him to anyone that’s needing a DJ! Keep up the great work!
We have gone to a few weddings where Chong was the DJ and just LOVE the energy he brought to the party. When my brother got married, we just knew Chong would be the right DJ to book for his event. Chong goes above and beyond just being your DJ for the night, during the planning process he takes his time to help you coordinate your timeline of events so that it runs smoothly. My brother had to change venue at the last minute (within hours) due to flooding at his original venue. Chong was understanding and reacted quickly. He had everything set up ready to go at the new venue by the time we arrived. I can't say enough about what a great DJ he is, I'm always recommending him to everyone I know.
This was your statement from your DJ testimonial:
I highly recommend Chong Lor for any event. My wedding reception was perfect, and that is in large part to the atmosphere set by the DJ and the music. He also was skilled in moving the reception along at the right pace in an organized way.
Chong did such an amazing job at our wedding! We loved working with him! He was so professional and everyone had an amazing time! I would highly recommend this business if you want to have the wedding of a century!
My wife and I faced the challenges of hosting our wedding in a different city and state. Our wedding DJ, Chong Lor was able to relieve our concerns and stresses by recommending services including our wedding venue. We appreciate his insight as much as we appreciate his ability to transition from intros to dinner, speeches and the reception party. It all worked out so well. All our family and friends had an incredible time. He got everyone up and dancing. We especially love how well he worked with our photographer to get the perfect in the moment shots from our wedding. Those details meant so much to my wife and I. I highly recommend Events by Lor.
Chong is an exceptional DJ. He did a wonderful job for my wedding. His attention to details and promptness to the schedule made our wedding flow so well! He was literally there from the beginning to the end. I feel you get a special deal since he helps you actually plan out your schedule. This should be high lighted because the music and announcements needs to be perfect and on queue for the best experience. There's not enough we can say about Chong! He brings so much energy. You can really tell he enjoys what he does and it shows. So many of our family and friends complimented in how well our wedding flowed and how it was one of the best weddings they've attended. All thanks to events by Lor!
Chong was extremely professional and helpful as our wedding DJ. On our first meeting, he prepared a list of questions to get to know us and he gave plenty of suggestions to help the flow of our wedding evening run smoothly and remain entertaining for our guests! What we loved about Chong was not only his ability to get our wedding guests dancing and having a good time but also gauging whether we needed a slow dance break in between all the line dances we requested. We had so many guests tell us that our DJ was great and the reception was one of the best receptions they had been to. Chong has serviced many weddings in the past and was very knowledgeable in his field of work.
We saw DJ Chong perform at a friend’s wedding and knew he had to be the DJ for our special day. He was personable, professional and covered every detail during our wedding planning session. Without an official wedding planner to help me coordinate my wedding day, it was reassuring to know that DJ Chong was on top of everything. He checked in with us throughout the evening to let us know where we were on the agenda and what formalities were next. He communicated with all of our other vendors and made sure everything ran smoothly all night. When we finally made it to the open dance, DJ Chong rocked the party with a great mix of songs including our favorites. We highly recommend him for any event! Thank you for making our wedding day so special, Chong!
Chong is an absolutely amazing DJ and Emcee. He knows how to set the mood for the crowd and is a such a wonderful and professional person to work with. He made our wedding become a dream come true. Not only is he a DJ but he's also a coordinator and an Emcee. Definitely recommend him to anyone who wants their wedding or event to be memorable.
Chong did such a phenomenal job working with us through video and phone calls leading up to our special day. We especially liked that he took initiative and reached out to us on many occasions. He asked us questions we never would have thought of and made suggestions so we knew he paid attention to detail and wanted to make our day perfect. We had a diverse crowd of friends and family, and Chong was able to MC in both English and Hmong. He kept the older generation just as engaged as our peers and college friends with a great mix of cultural songs and club hits. We’re embarrassed to say, but Chong was so great at what he does that Justin and I were on the dance floor all night and forgot to greet the rest of our guests. The only downside of the night was that we had wedding crashers who took it upon themselves to disturb our event. Chong was quick to respond and ushered those individuals out of the room over the mic. He brought the crowd back to the dance floor and kept it lit all night! The DJ you choose can truly make or break your wedding and we’re so glad we picked Chong. To this day, all of our guests still say it was the best wedding they’ve ever gone to! Thank you Chong for your professionalism, care, and attention to our special day.” -Justin and Julia
Chong was definitely organized and proactive with the wedding planning for my son (who is in the military). My son's schedule prevented him from meeting Chong, but Chong made it work via skype to go over the schedule and to make any necessary changes. He was also very thorough on the schedule and communicating with the wedding venue. This scheduling was a God-send! You will not know how disorganized a wedding can be until you see his schedule and realize "Wow! I am so glad he includes this!" He brought his own equipment to set up without any disruption to the wedding party/rehearsal during the day of the wedding. The best part of it all was his interaction with the wedding guests! He wasn't behind his station only, he walked out and came onto the dance floor and had the crowd dancing! I definitely recommend Events By Lor for any of your events. Finding a trustworthy, organized, compassionate and understanding DJ is always difficult to find, but trust me, we were so fortunate to have been given his name! Thank you, Chong! It was a successful wedding party! -Mother of the Groom, May!
