Worth Every Penny!

Look no further for your wedding music needs. Cagen Music is exactly what you're looking for! Our wedding was in September, and our 200+ guests are STILL telling us: "Your band was amazing!", "That band was the best band I've ever heard at a wedding", "Your wedding was so fun, and that band?! Fantastic." I wish our guests had paid attention to all the details that well!
Honestly though, Cagen Music deserves every recognition. After having to reschedule multiple times due to Covid, we really wanted to dance the night away with our friends and family. They made sure our guests stayed on the dance floor all night long with a wide variety of songs. I'd even go so far as to say our first dance song sounded better than the original! Definitely choose Cagen Music for your next event, you won't be disappointed!

Amazing Wedding DJ!

I highly recommend booking Cagen Music for your big day! First of all, I was so impressed with Cagen Music's professionalism and responsiveness. When I contacted them, Becky reached out to me immediately to set up a meeting. She really took the time to get to know me and my fiance so she could match us with a DJ. She wanted to be sure she knew what our music vibe was and what we wanted our dance floor to look like. From there she communicated with me and our venue about floor plans, arrival times, etc. She really went above and beyond to make things easier for us. And the results were incredible! Our DJ, Chad, was awesome. Many guests told me how he fit our vibe perfectly. The dance floor was happening all night long! Cagen Music was an excellent choice and helped make our day extra special!

The BEST wedding band

Don Cagen is the only band I would hire for future events after our wedding.
Everyone's incredible talent and energy added an unforgettable element to our special day. Their rendition of our first dance song was absolutely beautiful and made that moment even more special for us. We can't thank them enough from the bottom of our hearts.
Their playlist throughout the night was a perfect blend of our favorite songs, and your ability to gauge the crowd's mood and keep everyone dancing was truly remarkable.

Our guests haven't stopped raving about how fantastic our band was-- seriously, every person we have spoken to about the wedding, brings up our incredible band!!! They are all truly unworldly and we are so lucky to have had all of you play at such a special event in our lives. We look forward to sharing future events with them.
Thank you again to the Don Cagen band for sharing your incredible talent with us and for making our wedding day a musical masterpiece. You guys are the BEST!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
