Chris Laich
Chris Laich’s love for music began at age 13 when he began listening to The Cure and New Order, but it wasn’t until his college days at Penn State that he began to DJ professionally. Chris began DJing in 1990 and while he spent the beginning of his career working for others to learn the trade, he began noticing things he thought his employers could have done better to make their events more distinctive, eloquent and tasteful. Thus, in 1998, he ventured out on his own determined to change the industry one wedding at a time.
He wows his clients with his unsurpassed Wedding knowledge, professional demeanor, hip and impeccable taste, and of course his distinguished performing skills.
Chris’s clients speak generously of his originality, passion, peerless wedding knowledge, attention to detail, song selection, ingenious mixing, flawless execution and incomparable flexibility.
He brings a unique mixing style to his events with the way his creative sets are put together. Whether he is playing some Stevie Wonder, Michael, New Order, Prince, Lady Gaga, Jay-Z, or Black Eyed Peas, the mixes and transitions will impress guests of all ages.
But it’s not just his clients who are raving. Washingtonian Magazine most recently listed Chris as the “top rated Wedding DJ” in DC for the last 3 years. Modern Bride Magazine also cited Chris’s ability to set a new standard for excellence and listed him as one of the top Wedding DJs in the country.
Chris has become a phenomenal success in the Washington area and every week he can be found at some of Washington’s most prominent locations — The Ronald Regan ITC, The Hay Adams, The Fairmont Hotel, The Ritz-Carlton, The Willard, Hotel Monaco, Museum for Women in the Arts, The Meridian House, Halcyon House and Meadowlark Gardens, among others.
Chris resides in the Maryland area with his wife and three young children.
