Great vibes and great service

Cage and Aquarium was a great choice for our wedding! They were super accommodating at the last minute when we had a change in our plans and had to hire a DJ with only a few weeks to spare. We had our event at The Joinery in Chicago, and we were concerned about the sound because the reception and ceremony are in the same room. DJ Ligo (Nathan) was so awesome, all the sound was perfect, and he kept the vibes high during our brunch wedding. We couldn’t be happier and our guests raved about our tunes! Definitely recommend for your event for how easy and professional their team was. If I could give 6 stars for flexibility, I would!

Cage and Acquarium

We are so glad that we used Cage and Aquarium for our wedding and couldn't have enjoyed having Trevor as our DJ any more. He was absolutely spectacular and people from the wedding wouldn't stop asking for his name after. He made us feel like our day was going to be so perfect and that we didn't need to worry about anything! After only a few meetings we could tell he knew our taste in music and it showed on our wedding night! He was energic, got the crowd going and made it the night we hoped it would be!

Cage brings the professionalism and the funk

We have nothing but great things to say about Cage and Aquarium! They were true pros from the first phone call, anticipated our needs and were just a joy to work with. They came recommended to us by our venue and delivered everything we wanted: Exceptional professionalism, organization and communication; perfect follow-through and most importantly, passion for music! Trevor was amazing to work with in the pre-planning process—super responsive and always so helpful with suggestions. He made us feel very understand and cared for. When our DJ couldn’t make our walkthrough, he graciously volunteered to appear in his stead.

And Marcos, our DJ, couldn’t have been kinder or more gracious. He was so positive and open to all our music and was super professional from beginning to end. He executed perfectly on all the little details (guest arrival music, recessional, etc), and was a commanding host of the evening. He took control of the dance floor and packed it in accordingly. We would recommend Cage in a heartbeat!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kevin at Cage & Aquarium. He went above and beyond helping to get sound into various areas for both cocktail hour and during the reception. He was very professional, easy to work with and did I mention that the music was great! I definitely will be recommending him to all my brides!
