Wedding at the Mayflower Hotel – Ingrid and Pat

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

Earlier this year, we had the honor of deejaying Pat and Ingrid’s wedding at the Mayflower Renaissance Hotel.

Pat is a Landing Force Communications Officer in the United States Marine Corps, while Ingrid is a Lieutenant in the United States Navy. We knew a military wedding was in store, complete with crisp uniforms and a sword salute. But when the dance floor opened up, it was Saturday Night Fever!

Thank you so much, Pat and Ingrid, for sharing your day with Chris Laich Music Services, and best wishes!

Lisa Boggs, Pat and Ingrid’s photographer, did a fantastic job capturing every fun, joyful moment! To see more of her wonderful images, visit her blog.

Wedding at the Top of the Hay – Jessica & David

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

Over the summer, we had the honor of deejaying Jessica and David’s wedding at one of our favorite DC venues, Top of the Hay.

Their first dance to Elvis Presley’s “Cant Help Falling in Love” was spectacular, and after Jessica’s Father Daughter dance to “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong, everyone spent almost the entire night on the dance floor. Jessica and David’s photographer, the amazing Rodney Bailey, sent over his images of the wedding, and we couldn’t wait to share them.

We love the first dance sequence shots – they totally capture the happy couple’s energy!

Best wishes, Jessica and David!

Last week, we shared a little about our most recent experience deejaying at The Metropolitan Club in DC. Today, we’re excited to share their wonderful photographer, Stacey Vaeth’s, images of Sarah and Charles’s June 18 wedding day!

We are honored to have been a part of Sarah and Charles’s celebration, and had a lot of fun keeping their dance floor moving.

Best wishes to you both!

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.

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.

Mandarin Oriental DC – Dj Set Up

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

As a DC wedding venue, the unique ambiance, talented staff, and award-wining food at the Mandarin Oriental easily place it at the top.

Deejaying weddings at the Mandarin is always a great experience because of its talented event and catering team. Plus the hotel has such a sophisticated, chic vibe, it’s hard not to feel as though special things happen there!

Though the Mandarin’s ballroom is amazing on its own, couples often use lighting effects to add to the drama. When setting up our equipment and Bose wireless speakers, we’re careful to coordinate with the lighting or design element team. Our goal is always to ensure excellent sound…and preserve our client’s vision of what their day should look like. To see what we mean, have a look at our set-up shots from a recent wedding at the Mandarin below.

Wedding at Meridian House – Beth & Peter

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

Beth and Peter were married on a gorgeous Spring day at arguably one of the most romantic, elegant historic venues in all of Washington, DC, the Meridian House.

During their ceremony in Meridian’s famous Linden Grove, it was so peaceful and still that it felt as if we were the only ones in the entire city.

Gracious and refined, Beth and Peter’s wedding harmonized with Meridian House’s history as an Ambassador’s residence. In fact, it was hard to believe the celebration wasn’t taking place in their home. From the Linden Grove ceremony and garden cocktail party to dinner and dancing, this event was magical. You know a crowd is feeling right at home and having a great time when clothes start coming off on the dance floor!

We’re lucky the fabulous husband and wife team at Holland Photo Arts did a fantastic job capturing the day (as usual) so we could share it with you!

Wedding at The Top of the Hay – Allison & David

Wednesday, July 6th, 2011

May 29 found us at the Top of the Hay for Allison and David’s wedding ceremony and celebration. We were honored to be a part of their day and thrilled to work with their other wedding professionals. Allison and David chose the Top of the Hay (one of the best sites in DC, not least because of Alison, its super Director of Catering), Kendall’s Cakes, Helen Olivia Flowers, and amazing photographer Michelle Cross.

It was a FANTASTIC party! First, we spun songs the father of the groom selected for a customized cocktail hour, including some Frank, Oscar, Nat, and Louis. Next, Allison and David took to the floor for their first dance as husband and wife while we played “I Need Your Love So Bad” by Little Willy John.

Then, it was time for toasts, and, truly, they were perhaps the best we had heard this year!

Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, the crowd was all about getting down. Allison and David’s wedding turned into a GREAT dance bash that all kicked off with the Hora. These guests went crazy for Bruce Springsteen and newer top 40 tunes for sure!

Best wishes, Allison and David!

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.

First Dance Feature – Alia & Daniel

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

Some first dances combine flashy moves with a sweet tune.

During the lessons Alia and Daniel took, they choreographed their steps to Michael Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel.” They must have practiced lots and lots – the resulting first dance was absolutely sensational!

Read more about Alia and Daniel’s fun wedding planned by Amy Jones of Engaging Affairs at the Mandarin Oriental.
