McLean Hilton Wedding – DJ Set Up

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

Boasting Härth, a new seasonally grown, locally sourced restaurant, and a recently renovated lobby, the McLean Hilton in Tysons Corner is a sophisticated event venue.

Stylish, versatile and convenient, this hotel is also a great place for a wedding!

Recently, Chris Laich Music Services was at the McLean Hilton to help a couple celebrate their marriage. Using our wireless Bose speakers, we made sure every speech was heard and the dance floor kept moving…while remaining as invisible as possible.

Below are a few shots of our speaker and equipment set up during cocktails and the reception. If you’d like to see more set-ups in DC-area wedding sites, visit our Washington, DC Event Venues section.

Newseum – Wedding DJ Set Up

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

Sleek, modern, and very cool, the Newseum is a unique wedding venue sure to keep guests talking long after the celebration!

Sitting at Pennsylvania Avenue and Sixth Street, the Newseum is in the heart of the city, offers incredible views of DC landmarks like the Capitol, and boasts Wolfgang Puck as its in-house caterer. At the Newseum, there’s no shortage of options. From fantastic outdoor terraces perfect for a top of the city ceremony to a variety of indoor spaces, this venue has it all. One of our favorite aspects is the incredible events staff who always make being a part of a wedding team at the Newseum a pleasure.

With its high ceilings and glass, the Newseum presents a few sound challenges, but those are easily overcome using our Bose wireless speakers and years of expertise. Check out below a recent wedding Chris Laich Music Services was a part of to see how we work on site, or learn more in our Event Venues section.

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

Couples who celebrate their wedding at Belle Haven get all the grandeur of a historic DC venue plus picturesque views including the Potomac River.

Belle Haven Country Club’s large ballroom and adjacent outdoor balcony are perfect for a wedding reception. Enjoying cocktails outside while taking in the scenery is a great way to kick off a celebration. Plus, with Belle Haven’s amazing event manager, Nicole, any wedding or special event is sure to be fantastic!

Providing stellar sound and a great soundtrack during al fresco cocktails and an indoor reception while staying invisible can be a challenge. But with the help of our wireless Bose speakers and years of experience at the venue, we’re able to do all three!

Decatur House – DJ Equipment Set Up

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

When it comes to historic wedding venues in DC, you can’t get much closer to the White House than Decatur House!

Sitting right on a corner of Lafayette Square, this 1818 building was the first private residence built in the neighborhood and is now a museum, educational, research and event site.

Decatur House hosts weddings using a combination of its handsome parlors, elegant courtyard and modern Carriage House. With so many variables in terms of size and acoustics, when deejaying weddings at Decatur, it’s best to come prepared for anything.

As always, maintaining a venue’s charm while still delivering the highest quality of sound is our priority. That’s where our wireless Bose speakers combined with our experience at Decatur come in handy!

To see a recent equipment set-up for a Decatur House wedding, have a look at the images below.

Washington DC Wedding Venues Part I

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

Finding the right venue in Washington, DC can be tricky, if only because there’s so many to choose from! Over the years, we’d be willing to bet that we’ve deejayed at most wedding sites in the Washington Metropolitan area.

Lately, to help the couples envision what spaces look like with wedding DJ equipment in them, we’ve been snapping shots, including some of our state of the art wireless Bose speakers, and posting them here on our blog.

We thought we’d create an index of some of the most wedding popular venues we’ve been to in the last year. For more, visit our Washington, DC Event Venues section.

DJ Set Up at in the Old Ebbitt Grill’s Atrium

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

Old Ebbitt Grill has been a part of Washington, DC since 1856!

Its original location somewhere near Chinatown is long gone, but its current location in the Beaux-Arts building on 15th Street retains its DC landmark character. Known as a great place for dinner, drinks, or to enjoy oysters, Old Ebbitt Grill is also a great place for an event, offering several areas that can accommodate a private celebration, including a rooftop terrace and an atrium.

With a high ceiling, wall-to-wall marble floors, a scattering of palm trees and large central fountain, the Atrium is an impressive space. However, the very things that make it beautiful add to the challenge of getting sound just right. Arranging things so every song and speech is heard clearly without getting lost in the ambient sound takes experience and quality equipment. Fortunately, Chris Laich Music Services has both. Recently, we were at Old Ebbitt Grill for an event, and took a moment to take a couple pictures (see below) of our wireless Bose speakers set up in the Atrium before getting to work!

Top of the Hay – Wedding DJ Equipment Set Up

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

The newly renovated Top of the Hay at the Hay-Adams Hotel is the hottest new wedding venue in DC. With spectacular, unparalleled panoramic views (it’s the closest building to the White House) and even more stellar service, it’s an incredible space for a wedding or any other special event. Not to mention that, on site, Alison, Amanda, and Jenny deliver absolutely flawless events and could easily be the best team in town!

Chris Laich Music Services performed the first three weddings at the Top of The Hay, and it’s a space that certainly requires a thorough knowledge of equipment placement. As you can see from the images, our wireless Bose speakers are perfect for the room and its guests – unobtrusive while providing unparalleled sound.

See other examples of our equipment set up in Washington DC area event venues.

Hilton Arlington – Wedding DJ Equipment Set up

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

Chris Laich Music Services deejays weddings all over the Washington, DC area, a good portion of which are in hotels. Super convenient for out of town guests and often boasting a seasoned catering staff, hotels are always a great choice for a wedding!

Especially when the hotel is located in a really great area.

The Arlington Hilton is close to DC, but, even better, wedding guests have access to all the great restaurants, bars and shops in Ballston! Plus, it has a generous amount of event space to host both ceremonies and receptions.

We were there recently to deejay a wedding as well as provide sound for the ceremony, and we snapped a few pictures of our wireless Bose speakers to share with you (see below)!

Hilton Alexandria Old Town – Wedding DJ Set Up

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

Old Town Alexandria has got to be one of the most charming areas outside of Washington, DC to get married! The pleasant streets and historic buildings provide great atmosphere, while its proximity to the city make Old Town a haven for some really great hotels. One of which is the Hilton Alexandria Old Town.

Right in the heart of Old Town, the Hilton has a handsome ballroom made for an elegant wedding reception. Throughout the hotel, there are various event spaces for cocktails, along with a pretty little courtyard perfect for an outdoor ceremony.

The courtyard is an unexpected gem, and when Chris Laich Music Services is managing the music and sound for events there, we work hard to keep the ambiance intimate. Our wireless Bose speakers keep us out of sight while providing perfect, natural sound.

We were at the Hilton Alexandria Old Town recently and snuck a few shots of our equipment set up in their courtyard so you could have a look (below)!

Wedding DJ Set Up – Outside at Meadowlark Gardens

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

As you know from our earlier post about Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, it’s a fantastic place for a DC wedding. The setting is spectacular, and there are several different spaces on the property that can be utilized for a wedding ceremony and reception.

When weather permits, ceremonies held in the gardens surrounding Meadowlark’s Atrium are really special. In our last post about the venue, we focused on our set-up indoors. This time, we thought we’d share an example of an outside scenario.

It can be somewhat of a challenge to maintain the space’s natural beauty while making sure guests don’t miss a word. That’s when our wireless Bose speakers and experience come in handy!

Chris Laich Music Services works there about 30 times a year and recently provided sound for a wedding ceremony at the venue. Below are a few images showing how unobtrusive our equipment is at Meadowlark.
