Golden Bells was PHENOMENAL! Marlon and the entire band absolutely crushed it at our wedding. Not only is every musician insanely talented, but Marlon curated the night perfectly -- easing in with oldies to get our parents and older guests moving, then seamlessly shifting into the EDM, pop, and Bay Area rap we love. It felt like the soundtrack of us, and everyone could feel that. One of the highlights of the night was when the band came onto the dance floor with drums, trumpet, guitar, and trombone -- and even let us drum in a bit. The energy was unbelievable. And Hava Nagila with a full live band? Unreal. The band/DJ fusion setup made the entire reception feel elevated, unique, and unforgettable. They're truly a one-of-one. We got so many compliments throughout the night and later about the music, the vibe, and the experience the band created. Everything ran smoothly -- from emceeing to sound to transitions -- and you can tell the quality of their equipment and professionalism is top-notch. We can't thank Marlon and the Golden Bells team enough for making our wedding feel like a celebration we'll never forget. Highly, highly recommend them!

We hired the Cosmo Alleycats for our wedding and it was by far one of the best choices we made. Working with Emily and the Cosmo Alleycats is a dream. First up, they are obviously very musically talented - their style is fun for everyone of all ages and they are open to working with you for your preferences. They went above and beyond by making a special arrangement of our first dance song. We wanted to practice dancing to their rendition before the big day, so Emily shared a recording of it with us which was extremely helpful. Emily is a true professional, helping us organize all of the details and logistics in addition to emceeing for the evening and bringing her gorgeous singing voice, and each member of the band brings their own talents and flair. I cannot recommend them enough. Live music at a wedding is a top-notch experience for you and your guests and you won’t regret hiring the Cosmo Alleycats for your special day.

Not only is Precise Blend (James) one of the kindest people I've had the pleasure of working with, he is also very creative, responsive, professional and flexible when making your event come to life through music. He took time to really get to know us and it was important to him that we were happy and not stressed for our big day. He DJ'd our Sonoma Valley wedding and it was such a magical evening. His photo booth, music and lights really brought the venue to life and guests had a great time dancing. I love that his equipment is sleek, not bulky and doesn't stand out in photos. The app he works through is user friendly and I love that we were able to invite different collaborators to add songs to the dancing playlist. His team truly did a quality job on making the night memorable and I'm so glad we chose them as our music vendor! There is not enough good things I can write about Precise Blend and James. We had a few zoom meetings set up for DJ's and he was our first zoom call. We knew from the moment we talked to him that he was perfect for us and our wedding. We booked him last minute (probably 2 months in advance) and he was so accommodating. If we needed anything, he was a quick text away. He has a wonderful app to pick all your music and organize it from the processional, to the cocktail hour music, etc. I sent him a few songs that I wanted to surprise my now husband with to walk down the aisle and he put them together for me and made it perfect for us. Another great aspect was that our photographers Photo Booth broke from another wedding so we reached out to James and he made sure that we had a Photo Booth. It was amazing and the pictures from our family and friends are so fun! James has a wonderful team and made our night amazing and fun! We consider him family now. I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you forever James. We cant thank you enough! You are truly one of a kind and made our wedding amazing and so much fun! Sincerely, The Farleys

Sharing my passion for dance and music has been the most amazing experience of my life.

Every event I DJ is an honor and privilege I don't take lightly and my focus is to always meet and exceed the vision and vibe you have for your event!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were fortunate enough to have DJ John as one of our DJ options through our venue. From the moment we started talking about our vision and vibe for the big day, we knew DJ John was our guy. This is not an exaggeration when I say our friends and family are using DJ John as the gold standard for every other wedding they’ve attended. We had must-plays from our parents that DJ John was able to seamlessly integrate into our own must-plays. We did not give him an easy task asking him to go from Grateful Dead, to bad bunny, to LCD sound system, but DJ John nailed it. From beginning to end, DJ John curated the perfect vibes that kept the party going all night. When you’ve spent your time thinking about all the big items, DJ John’s skill, knowledge, and expertise will save you from having to think about what songs should play in between speeches or while everyone eats. The dance floor was literally packed the entire reception and it was all thanks to DJ John. A lot of things can go wrong on the wedding day and you can rest easy knowing you won’t go wrong with DJ John. I truly cannot say enough great things about him and how great he was for our wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our venue didn’t allow live bands, so we worked with Second Song to book a DJ and a saxophonist — and they absolutely nailed it. We were incredibly specific with our music preferences and DJ personality (including needing someone bilingual in Spanish for our multicultural crowd). Rob was amazing — he sent us five DJs who fit our vibe perfectly, and we got to speak with each one before choosing. We went with John McGrath as our DJ and he was phenomenal. He met with us multiple times before the wedding to understand our very detailed vision and gave us total confidence that he’d “read the room” — which he did, flawlessly. The sax player brought a ton of energy, and together they kept the dance floor alive all night, which is exactly what we wanted

I’ve been playing weddings for over twelve years and I love my work! My services cover any or all aspects of wedding & receptions. I have found my life’s artistic calling in becoming flexible to every type of music my clients could desire. I learn to enjoy whatever my clients love and this resonance makes my job sustainable and ever-enjoyable. But, I do tend to request the ability to make choices for the dance-floor that rely on my years of dance-enhancing experience. I meet with my clients to determine what music they would love to hear and what music they do NOT want to hear.

Brandon was the perfect DJ for our wedding at the UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens! Our venue had multiple tricky constraints, including needing to break down all equipment immediately after each area was used. Other DJs told us that this venue was a nightmare for them in the past, but Brandon and his team had experience at the gardens and a plan for how to handle their particular rules. Brandon was organized, communicative, fun - and his blazer matched the occasion perfectly! He also kept things classy and never felt like a hypey club DJ the night of our wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Not sure where to begin writing this review. There are truly no words big enough to describe how special Cello Joe was as our wedding DJ. He wasn’t just a part of our wedding day, he made our wedding day. From the very first moment to the very last song, he gave us something so magical, so unforgettable, that it still makes us emotional to think about. He was literally the heartbeat of our day. He played live cello pre ceremony for all the guests to enjoy that was truly so beautiful. But the live cello as I walked down the aisle is a memory etched into our hearts forever. It was more than music. It felt like the soundtrack to our love story, and it was the most beautiful beginning to the rest of our lives. Then, during cocktail hour, he transformed the atmosphere with looping, beatboxing, and cello in a way that left every single guest completely captivated. People couldn’t stop talking about it, and even now, they’re still telling us it was the most unique and breathtaking performance they’ve ever experienced at a wedding from start to finish. And then there was the saxophonist he brought in during the dance party. pure magic. Together, they created an energy that was electric, soulful, and overflowing with joy. They didn’t just entertain, they touched every heart in the room. Not only was he the most talented cello musician, he absolutely crushed the dance party and played non stop for 3:30 hours. Not one bad song or bad mix. It was absolutely incredible. But what truly sets him apart is how much heart he pours into what he does. Without us even knowing, he recorded our entire ceremony, our cocktail hour, our dance floor, and gifted us not just music, but memories. He allowed us to relive the most important day of our lives again and again. That level of thoughtfulness is beyond anything we could have imagined. Our wedding was perfect because of him. He exceeded every expectation and gave us more than we ever dreamed possible. He is, without question, the most talented, kind, and extraordinary musician and DJ we have ever met. If we could give him more than 5 stars, we would. To us, he isn’t just the best wedding DJ in the world, he’s someone we will forever be grateful for, someone who gave us the gift of a wedding day that truly felt like a dream. Cello Joe, thank you for all the moments you created throughout our weekend. You truly are one of the most talented people we’ve ever met and I will be recommending you to everybody I know!!

Richard gave us a helpful questionnaire to fill out key songs and general musical interests (and do not play songs). Richard was also happy to jump on calls with us to talk through our questions and hopes for our big day. I especially appreciated that Richard was able to play some German songs for some guests who had flown in from Germany, as that got even some of our older relatives on the dance floor. People were partying all night thanks to Richard! Richard catered to our wide age range of guests, and even gave us a couple of bonus closing songs that were the perfect conclusion to the night. We could not have asked for a better DJ.

Honestly I ended up choosing Sean as my DJ for the wedding because he was the nicest and the most communicative out of everyone I contacted. I thought he did an awesome job at helping me through the process. Sean even was pretty flexible when I kept missing my zoom appointment (sorry about that) and didn't make me feel bad about it. He was great when it came to choosing songs for the big day. He also had the timeline on lock and was able to provide some insight. I love that I chose to include the photobooth because we can go back and look at all the photographs which is great. Every one of my guests loved that and was excited they could get each one afterwards. The printer was super quick too. I didn't even know we would have a personalized print with our wedding date on it which was a nice surprise. The only thing I would have liked would be that when the bride/groom requested a song that it would get played. Instead he asked if the venue was okay with it which I felt like wasn't a concern since I paid for both to be there. That was my only note for future events. Rick Flare Drip never got played and it's a banger. Sean also had another surprise which was Audio he recorded from the ceremony which I thought was a cute touch. Thank you for making our big day a success.

At Cage + Aquarium, we exist to tell your story. With 18 years and 5,000+ happy clients, we blend music, photography, and film to turn life’s biggest events into unforgettable stories.  We are a modern media brand of storytellers—creating your epic dance floors, stunning images frozen-in-time and cinematic memories that live forever.

From the very beginning, our experience with Cage and Aquarium was seamless and personal. We met with Tyler, the owner, during our initial consultation and were immediately drawn to the story behind the company and their thoughtful approach to pairing couples with the right musical fit. They made the process incredibly easy — from selecting our ceremony musicians (yes, we got our Jurassic Park string moment!) to matching us with the perfect DJ for the reception. The whole process felt curated, organized, and genuinely fun. If you're looking for a unique and personalized music experience for your wedding, we can’t recommend them enough. …And speaking of the perfect DJ — we were lucky enough to be paired with DJ Henny through Cage and Aquarium, and he truly brought the party to life. DJ Henny absolutely nailed the vibe of our wedding. From the moment we started planning, he was professional, communicative, and so in tune with what we wanted. He took the time to understand the flow of the evening and helped create a soundtrack that reflected us perfectly. His MC-ing on the day-of was seamless — he guided us and our guests through each moment with ease and energy. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and hype man!

Mike, Robert and Joey were absolutely phenomenal in all the ways possible! Every day we have friends and family telling us how much fun they had and enjoyed the dueling pianos as our wedding entertainment. Mike and Robert were great in engaging our guests and of course they did not disappoint with their singing and piano playing skills! Would definitely recommend them for any function!
