Thomas Birkby House – Wedding DJ Set Up

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

On the edge of historic Leesburg, VA sits the Thomas Birkby House. Upon entering its charming rooms, terrace, white gazebo and lovely gardens, you feel you’ve entered a more gracious time.

That, along with the fact that the Thomas Birkby House can accommodate up to 175 guests, makes it a really wonderful wedding venue.
Historic outdoor spaces are often a challenge when it comes to setting up wedding DJ equipment.  But striking the balance of sound and aesthetic while making sure your guests hear every vow and dance to every song is something we do best!

Check out below how we set up our wireless Bose speakers on the Thomas Birkby House’s terrace for a wedding this summer:

Wedding at Potomac Point Winery – Chelsea and Nick

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

You know a wedding is going to be fun when it’s at a winery, and Chelsea and Nick’s wedding was no exception!

After their ceremony at Aquia Episcopal Church, the newlyweds and their guests headed to Potomac Point Winery in Stafford County, Virginia, where they wasted no time starting the celebration.

Everyone got excited when the wedding party was announced to “I Gotta Feeling” and “Party Like a Rock Star.” Then, when Chelsea and Nick took the floor as husband and wife to Michael Buble’s “Crazy Love,” the happy energy in the room went through the roof!

Chelsea and Nick’s photographer, Genevieve Leiper, was fantastic – as you can see from the pictures, every awesome moment was documented. She even caught Chelsea, a Redskins cheerleader, in a move that looks like something we’ve seen during a game!

The dancing didn’t stop all night – especially during the 20 minutes of Polka when everyone showed off their fancy footwork.

Best wishes, Chelsea and Nick!

Wedding at Belmont Country Club – Joni & Tim

Wednesday, November 16th, 2011

On August 5, Joni and Tim were married at Belmont Country Club and we were honored to be their wedding deejay!

Other than keeping the dance floor going, listening to the speeches is one of our favorite parts of a wedding reception. And at Joni and Tim’s wedding, there was a doozy! Joni’s Maid of Honor had a beautiful toast prepared and made more than one person in the room get a little teary.

Their photographer, Amanda McMahon, did a spectacular job capturing the moment – check out the images below.

Best wishes, Joni and Tim, and thanks for choosing Chris Laich Music Services.

Metropolitan Club Washington DC – DJ Set Up

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

Founded in 1863, the Metropolitan Club in DC is a private institution right near Dupont Circle. What makes it unusual as a wedding venue is not its elegant façade or gracious rooms, but that it can be used by members of the Metropolitan Club alone.

The Metropolitan Club of Washington DC

Chris Laich Music Services is fortunate to have deejayed several weddings there throughout the years, and every time feels like a special treat! In June, our clients Sara and Charles celebrated their wedding at the Metropolitan Club. To preserve the elegance of the space and still provide the kind of sound that gets guests dancing, we brought along our wireless Bose speakers, carefully placing them for optimum performance in the space.

Next week, we’ll share photographer Stacey Vaeth’s pictures of Sara and Charles’s wedding. In the meantime, check out the pictures of our equipment set up at the Metropolitan Club below.

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.

Belle Haven – Wedding DJ Equipment Set Up

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!

To see how Chris Laich Music Services equipment blends seamlessly into Belle Haven’s environment, have a look below at images from a recent wedding we contributed to.

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.

Wedding at Meadowlark Gardens – Hilary & Garth

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

Hilary and Garth planned their wedding at Meadowlark Gardens all the way from Utah. Organizing a wedding is never easy, but doing it from across the country…we feel tired just thinking about it!

After all that work, on their December 4 wedding day, Hilary and Garth were more than ready to celebrate! Following their cocktail hour, the bridal party was announced to The Cure’s “Just like Heaven,” while the couple waited their turn in the wings.

Before they knew it, Hilary and Garth were center stage dancing to Shania Twain’s “Still the One” as husband and wife. Once the dinner plates were cleared, everyone flooded the dance floor for a huge dance party! To keep the crowd going, we played tracks from Glenn Miller, Otis Knight, ABBA, Madonna, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas, Shakira, Usher, and Pink.

To cap off an amazing night, Hilary and Garth were sent off by their friends and family with a glittering shower of bubbles! Best wishes, Hilary and Garth, and many thanks to Julie Napear for sharing her amazing photos of their wedding!
