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!

So much fun!!

Cagen music was the perfect band for our November wedding. Having a fun live band was a top priority for us and the band exceeded our expectations! We had almost 200 people at the reception and everyone was out on the dancefloor and raving about the band! Highly recommend!

Best of the best!

We cannot recommend the Don Cagen Orchestra enough!!! They were absolutely fantastic! Becky & Don are lovely people and really got to know us as a couple. They listened to what was important to us, played a perfect setlist, provided a seamless timeline, and performed all of our first dance and parent dance songs wonderfully. We had so much fun dancing the night away and I know our guests did too - so many of them have commented about the stellar band!! The dance floor was packed until the very last song, thanks to this incredibly talented band!!
