Chris did a great job at my wedding! He was our MC and Photographer. I am very picky about the way I do things and exactly what I want and Chris was able to adapt to my taste and needs to have someone speak both fluently in Chinese and English. He did a great job keeping us on time and was very good about finding my husband and I to let us know when things were coming up. He kept the energy up the whole time even though he was working more than 14 hours that day. I would strongly recommend Chris to anyone.

My wife and I were very happy with the job Chris did at our wedding! We used Dynasty for DJ and MC. We needed an MC that was able to speak English and Chinese fluently and he did a good job. The thing we loved the most from Chris was his ability to get people out onto the dance floor. It didn't matter if they were young or old, everyone came out to the dance floor and partied hard. We've had compliments from friends stating that they had the most fun at our wedding and it was all thanks to Chris and crew.
I would strongly recommend Chris to anyone.

Chris and his team from Dynasty were great to work with. He was always responsive and willing to work with us on assembling a package that worked for our needs and budget. His DJ for the night (Billy) kept the dance floor packed and the party went on throughout the night. Recommend for any bride that needs a bilingual Chinese / English emcee.

Chris was very easy to work with for our entire wedding process. He was also our MC for the wedding night and accomodated our request by having both chinese and english. I made some last minute changes and Chris was flexible enough to accomodate to it all which made me felt at ease. We also went with Dynasty wedding for ceremony music. All the songs provided were played in the order that was planned. Chris and the team are truly professionals!
Thank you Dynasty Weddings!

Thank you Dynasty Wedding for a job well done! The MC did a great job entertaining our guests and making sure we were on schedule with our wedding timeline. We provided the DJ with a play list that we’d like to play at the wedding and he didn’t disappoint us.

Ming and Tim did an awesome job on our wedding. Our crowd, despite being mostly older family members... came out to the dance floor and we all had a great time!

Kudos to Chris Chen and Dynasty Weddings for making our wedding day the most memorable experience! After many hours meeting and reading reviews of multiple vendors, we decided to go with Dynasty Weddings. Not only are they at the top of the industry, Dynasty Weddings fine tunes their high standards to cater to your needs. We went with the MC/DJ, photo booth, and photography package. The MC did an amazing job keeping everyone entertained while making sure we were on schedule with our wedding timeline. The DJ was on point and mixed in all of our "must play" tracks. Our guests never left the dance floor. The photo booth was the highlight of the night. Our guests, old and young entertained themselves throughout the night getting creative with the props. We couldn’t stop smiling or laughing when Chris delivered the photo booth pictures. The photo booth is a must for all weddings. Last but not least, the photography service; words cannot express my reviews of our experience with Chris. Unlike many photographers, Chris made the effort to get to know us. He did not take the cookie cutter wedding photos but captured our personality. We will cherish our photos for a life-time.
Dynasty Weddings and crew not only delivered what they promised but went the extra mile to build a friendship. I will look forward to seeing them again at my friends' wedding.

Dynasty Team is the best! We had a traditional Chinese Banquet in NYC. During our first meeting with Chris and Ming, we had no ideas what we should and should not do on the wedding night. Not only did Chris and Mind took the initiative to inform us of certain things we need to keep in mind, they offered their expertise in all areas that we need to pay attention to. For example, the run down of the night, how to budget time for each event. How we decided to have Dynasty Team was from an actual wedding that my husband and I attended in 2008. At the end of the event, we witnessed how professional Dynasty Team was (I was the MOH of the bride, so I knew how much work they actually did). My then boyfriend, now husband already decided that they will be our MC at our wedding day.
My husband hurt his back 2 weeks before our wedding, and I was very worried that during the night, the groomsmen would go crazy when forcing him to do certain games. Ming did a perfect job to keep all of the unnecessary things that the groomsmen asked my husband to do. Our wedding banquet was a big one, actually it was 400people (40 tables), Ming did a great job for time management for each and every event of the night, he made sure things run smoothly, despite such a big party we had.
We highly recommend Dynasty team to all the newly engaged couples who are planning for their big day. Planning for the biggest day of your life is extremely stressful, but we are sure Dynasty Team will help you through out the process and make every stressful moment into a memorable moment. In fact, we are thinking to have Dynasty Team for our "Trash the dress" session!

We can't say enough about Dynasty Weddings and Chris Chen Studio Photography. Our guests could not say enough about how awesome the MC and music was at the wedding. So many guests said it was the most fun wedding they have been too and everyone was out on the floor. Ming The MC kept the party moving at a great pace, directed us, and kept the crowd involved. We are still complimented on our wedding months after it was over.
Chris did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. I was more than pleased. During the engagement session, he was very flexible and very creative with how he shot the photos. We took tons of photos, but it was very fun, and they came out amazing. He also was very professional with his response time in the days leading up to the wedding. Any email that I sent, received a timely response, and any change that I wanted to make was not a big deal at all. I can't say enough about the job he did at the wedding. His prices beat out the other competition.... Chris & his team are the best!!

I had a traditional chinese banquet in NYC, which is usually hosted by a bilingual MC (who usually offer DJ services as a package). Other friends that have gone this route didn't particularly care for the MC they used, they didn't show up on time, followed their own format, weren't professional, etc. I finally decided to meet with Dynasty Weddings - it was the only MC/DJ in the NYC area that I couldn't find a negative review!
I met with Chris Chen who was very professional and I could tell he had alot of experience. He was enthusiastic and put me at ease right away and answered all my questions - I booked him right away as my MC/DJ. He is also a photographer, I decided to book him for my engagement photos after I looked through his portfolio. The session went great and the photos came out beautiful. Not the standard couple pose, very artistic without being cheesy.
For my wedding day, Chris also provided the ceremony music and kept us on schedule throughout the night. I also bought a gobo and LED lighting package - it transformed the venue dramatically. He also put together a great slideshow (with music) of pics we gave him. He was a fantastic and fun host, everyone asked if he was a friend of ours - my guests felt very connected to him. Added plus is that he wasn't TOO chinese. The DJ services was great too, they played all my requested songs and people were going crazy on the dance floor. Yes, there was a difference price-wise compared to other companies, but I did not regret one single penny. I had a fantastic wedding and it took alot of stress off me knowing that Chris was around to keep everything in check. I absolutely recommend Chris Chen/Dynasty Weddings for photography and MC/DJ services, even if you are not having a chinese wedding!

Chris at Dynasty was extremely helpful in creating package that worked for us. He was open to our suggestions as well as offered his expertise in areas that we needed assistance in. His team was prompt and knowledgeable in getting things set up and down on the day of our wedding. And most importantly, there was never a down moment, our guests packed the dance floor the ENTIRE night!!!

Our decision to book our wedding with Dynasty Weddings was one of the best ones we’ve ever made. Although all of the vendors we hired for our night were fantastic, I thought Chris Chen and his staff were exceptional. We were looking for someone who could be a DJ and MC for the night in English as well as Chinese. As simple as we thought it would be, we ended up interviewing with several DJ companies and yet none of them offered what we were looking for. Very often, we came close, but it was not until we met with Chris that we knew right away his company was the one for our wedding.
After our initial consultation, we were able to work with Chris via email, text and phone calls. He is very prompt and never forgets about his clients. I felt he was always available when we needed his advice or assistance. I will never forget how he had put his two cents in when one of our family members tried to put down one of my decisions for the wedding. He made her realize the wedding was about two people, just me and my now husband. Chris understands this and stresses how weddings should really be about the bride and groom. Although families definitely have a part in the planning, it really should be the bride and groom making final decisions. I especially appreciated Chris stepping in to help our families understand this.
It was quite easy to plan out the music selection with Chris. We just sent him a list of songs to give him an idea of what we liked and he did the rest. He did such a great job at sending us all the information we needed to finalize our music plans for the evening.
My only regret regarding Dynasty Weddings was not booking them for his other services like photography, makeup and videography. The vendors we hired were good, but I began to see how professional and outstanding Chris Chen’s staff was. I was simply amazed. A few days after the wedding, Chris sent me a few pictures of the venue that we had taken before our event began. The quality of his photography blew me away. My husband and I were very impressed and will consider Dynasty Weddings in the future for other smaller events. After working with Chris, we know that he is flexible and very fun to make decisions with.
On a personal note, I’d like to thank him for giving my husband the opportunity to learn from his phenomenal photography skills. This proves that Dynasty Weddings is more than a wedding venue – their staff really does care about you and are willing to be there even after your event has been completed. From our wedding, I can confidently say we not only have discovered a wonderful DJ/Wedding Service from Dynasty Weddings, but we also have made a good friend. Thanks, Chris!

Heard about Dynasty Weddings via a friend who really enjoyed Dynasty Wedding's services at other weddings. Turns out he came highly recommended by others as well. My spouse and I found Chris, the proprietor, to be very responsive and we would highly recommend his services. His services were professional and and he was attentive to detail and our needs. Everything was laid out and written in plain English and there were no surprises. He worked diligently with us to pick our songs and helped us coordinate the events of the night, set atmosphere and worked very well with our photographer. Everyone had a blast.

In the beginning, we researched a number of companies to photograph our wedding. In the end, Dynasty Weddings was much more professional and personable than the others. Chris is a great guy and possibly the best photographer we have met. He helped us all throughout our wedding with everything. Chris was always available with the click of our Blackberries. He also has great recommendations for other services that he doesn't provide. After other research, we went with the wedding cake baker and stylist that he recommended with excellent results. His whole team is great and worked really well with our schedule. Sometimes you would hear of other photographers who would get in the way of your celebration just to get to a shot but Chris and Bill got great pictures without interrupting the party. The MC was just exactly what we needed and understood what we wanted with the type of guests we had. He interacted really well with our guests and kept our celebration on track. The DJs were great as well. The music complemented our styles and really kept the dance floor packed. They introduced a good compilation of slow and fast songs. After the wedding reception, we received so many compliments on how much they had fun at our wedding. Some even have said that our Chinese wedding was the best they have ever gone to. We have Chris and his team to thank for it. After our reception, Chris worked immediately on our pictures and his teaser pictures were on his site within days and after seeing them, we cannot wait to see the rest. Thank you Chris.

We hired Dynasty Weddings to dj for our wedding and we have nothing but the highest praise for them. Chris Chen and his team were excellent! Our dance floor was packed the entire evening, even during dinner. Fantastic job! They made our wedding so wonderful and so fun! Everyone has said what a great time they had and that is due, in large part, to their DJ skills. It could not have been any more perfect.
We really appreciate all that Chris and his team did for our wedding and for their professionalism. They made our wedding run so smoothly with their experience and guidance. We are so happy we found Dynasty Weddings and will happily recommend them to everyone we know!
Thanks again,
Ethel & Vincent Liang, September 2009

I had the most amazing experience with chris chen and his entire team. Everything from the photo direction and the planning of the day was executed perfectly. They are not only there to take photos but they are also there so make sure everything runs smoothly. As a bride you are taking in the day as much as you can and of course you can forget things. Well good thing I had chris and his team to remind me of the schedule we had planned together. Chris is personable and is there to make suggestions and make sure your day is perfect. At the end I was presented with beautiful photos that I will have forever to remember the special day. Chris is funny, nice, and genuinely cares about your wedding day. To top it off his photos are phenomenal. His photography skills get better every time he shoots. I am almost jealous of all the brides that shot with him after our wedding :)
Videographers were wonderful and charming. They made everyone feel comfortable. They had a great sense of humor which i liked. The video was wonderful when we watched it after the wedding. Im glad we got the video as some people dont think about needing the video after their wedding but i think it provides a different perspective and can also capture moments that the photos might not have gotten - and believe me there will be MANY special moments.
DJ & MC were AWESOME! My wedding would not have been fun and such a success without them. I had a wonderful time. The music i suggested was played as planned and we all had a blast!
Overall Dynasty Weddings is an all in one shopping experience. When you are trying to look for vendors that genuinely care and have the same goals- this can be hard...but not with dynasty weddings! They are incredible with their passion for weddings! I think I made a really good choice when i chose dynasty weddings to do my wedding. I had a wonderful time with them and I am pretty sure you will too.
