  • DJ Mykol (Michael Rodriguez) from Cage & Aquarium

    •Verified review
    •Sean K.•7:30 pm

    We held our wedding in San Diego and requested DJ Mykol (Michael Rodriguez) who was referred to us by a friend. DJ Mykol did an amazing job from start to finish. Throughout the planning process, he provided sound course corrections for our ceremony so that all of the music flowed well together. For our reception he guided the dance party’s energy through very thoughtful song selections while observing the room. I would happily work with him again and trust him with any of my friends or families future events.

    DJ Stack was awesome!! She watched the crowd and adapted to what people were vibing with—she really made the dance floor come to life! I use they/them pronouns and had specific requests around language at the wedding; DJ Stack honored those requests perfectly! We tried a new dance (the “how long have you known us dance”) and the crowd loved it. There were 2 technical difficulties when it came to the music, but it didn’t dampen our day :)

    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!
