  • DJ Ligo was incredible!

    •Verified review
    •Muna•Jan 26

    Working with Cage was easy and great! We had listened to their Chicago-based DJs and decided that DJ Ligo aka Nathan was our guy. He’s a popular DJs for weddings so we were nervous he might already be booked but lucky for us he was available! Everyone from Cage were really nice to work with and they were very accommodating. Nathan (DJ Ligo) did an amazing job at reading our dance floor, being an emcee, and keeping the vibes high all night. We didn’t think we’d be on the dance floor all night and figured we’d need breaks and would mingle with our guests more but, honestly, Nathan kept the dance floor so alive and we just never left it! We had a great experience and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you, Nathan and the rest of the team!

  • Fantastic!

    We loved the team we worked with and couldn't recommend them more! Cage Aquarium was responsive, communicative, and engaged with us throughout the process. They kept the party going for our entire reception!

    We hired Cage and Aquarium for DJ/sound services and for some cosmetics like additional up-lighting. We were paired with Rhasheeda/DJ Rhated R as our DJ and she did a phenomenal job as an emcee at our reception and worked with us in the planning leading up to the big day. She and the C&A team helped us stay on top of things and feel more relaxed and confident going into our wedding day. We're glad to have worked with them and would definitely recommend them.

  • Live DJ Sax!

    C&A was very easy to work with throughout the planning process. They took care to heed our wants and curate the vibe we were aiming for. Our DJ was GREAT day-of, but the real star of the show was the live saxophonist! He played alongside live songs and everyone absolutely loved it. Cannot recommend enough.
