    Working with Cage and Aquarium was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They provided DJ and MC services, booked a live musician for us (Eileen), and handled wedding videography with TJ. Having one vendor manage so many aspects of our big day made planning so much easier—especially since we didn’t have a wedding planner. Their team is organized, professional, and clearly experienced in all things wedding. Our wedding DJ, Tyler, who is also the owner, was simply amazing to work with. He’s a true music lover who took the time to understand our style and nailed the vibe. One of the most underrated parts of great wedding DJing is curating music that matches the couple and the crowd, and Tyler did exactly that. I’ve always loved music but am not someone who normally dances in public—yet on my wedding day, I was on the dance floor the whole time! Tyler just gets it. He knows music and knows how to create the right mood. When it came to live ceremony music, Tyler really listened to what we wanted. He asked thoughtful questions and recommended Eileen, a guitarist, who ended up being the perfect fit. She played during our ceremony, and it was absolutely beautiful—emotional, heartfelt, and completely us. Our wedding videographer, TJ, was also incredible. He showed up early, set up with care, got to know everyone, and worked tirelessly throughout the day. He was somehow everywhere at once, capturing every important moment without ever being intrusive. He blended in seamlessly and felt like a natural part of the day. We were so grateful for how hard he worked and how kind he was. From start to finish, Cage and Aquarium made our wedding stress-free and unforgettable. Their team knows how to do weddings—period. Whether you're looking for a professional wedding DJ, a talented ceremony musician, or a reliable wedding videographer, Cage and Aquarium brings it all together. We are so thankful they were such a big part of our day and would absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a full-service, high-quality wedding vendor.

    We used Cage and Aquarium for our wedding in April 2025, and had the best experience with DJ Rawzhel! Everyone at Cage and Aquarium was wonderful to work with, and we got so many compliments about the music at DJ at our wedding! It created the perfect atmosphere and dance vibe that we wanted!

    Cage Aquarium were the perfect choice for our wedding DJ. From the very beginning, their (DJ Ligo) communication was direct, quick, and friendly - they were a breeze to work with. The quality of their work and value was incredible. They followed our directions to a tee and were incredibly thorough in incorporating all of our favorite songs and keeping the party going all night long. The DJ created an amazing party atmosphere, and played the music at the perfect timings. We couldn't have asked for a better team to make our special day so memorable. Highly recommend Cage Aquarium for any couple looking for a top-notch DJ!

    DJ Demchuk (Daniel) did an absolutely amazing job during our wedding! The dance floor was bumping all night and we got SO many compliments on how good the music was, including from our older guests. Both the CA team and Daniel himself were super professional, kind, and communicative to work with throughout the planning process and during the night itself. We asked for some edits to our first dance song and Daniel made it happen flawlessly. He also sent us a full track list from the wedding within a few days so we can relive the party over and over. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out, and would recommend this DJ to anyone looking!
