  Casual Bowtie was INCREDIBLE! From start to finish, these guys were awesome (and super nice). Rob was so amazing to work with, from when we first started reaching out to wedding bands all the way through the wedding day. We had our wedding this past August and Casual Bowtie made the party what it was. The guys learned 4 new songs for us (including playing for the entirety of the wedding ceremony). When Casual Bowtie says they get everyone up and dancing - they really mean it! We had about 150 people at our wedding and it really felt like a majority of them were up the WHOLE time. There were a couple of musical surprises from me (the groom) and the bride's brother and Casual Bowtie was totally game to make those moments happen. One thing that really shows the character of Casual Bowtie is they had a break towards the end of the reception but, instead, they were learning a special cultural dance with the rest of the wedding guests. They looked like they were having a blast! Honestly, from the moment you meet Casual Bowtie, you can just tell that they love what they do. We never saw the band perform for an audience until the day of our wedding, but felt comfortable with the band's assurances that they knew what they were doing. Boy, were they right! Thank you Casual Bowtie! One other note, we had a TON of feedback saying how great the band at our wedding was (if you're considering them over a DJ, just take the leap). I wish this website wasn't so nice to vendors so that my 5 star review could really show how much they shined.

  Casual Bowtie is absolutely Seattle's best wedding band. It may be the best wedding band on the planet. We had heard them play at a friend's wedding. They had so much style and panache! And they sounded incredible. We danced for hours. We knew they were the band for us. From our initial meeting, (where Rob not only helped us plan out a song list but the order/structure of the entire event!), to emails about arrival, set-up for the day, Casual Bowtie impressed us with their clarity, their expertise and their amazing willingness to make the day and the dancing exactly what we wanted. The band has an amazing sound, and they know how to pace the evening and work a room. Many of our guests came up to us several weeks afterwards to gush about what an incredible dance party we had. At the end of the night, when clean-up rolled around, they went from Wedding Band Superstars to Wedding Band Gods in my eyes. We ended up being a little pressed for time and short on hands to help clean up the venue (a Seattle Parks building). Casual Bowtie noticed, and after they had cleared all their gear, they came back and helped up break down tables and sweep. It was totally awesome, unexpected and so incredibly generous of them. But, that's who they are. Awesome, unexpected, generous. Book them! Book them for everything! You will be so happy that you did.

  It's not even a question - the Casual Bowties are the absolute best choice if you're looking for a wedding band. Their enthusiasm is infectious, their willingness to go the extra mile is incredible and they aren't kidding when they say they get *everyone* on the dance floor. They were by far one of the very best decisions we made for our overall wedding. We felt so lucky to have them perform at our wedding!

  My husband and I were so absolutely delighted with Casual Bowtie. They were easy to communicate with, very professional, but most importantly: FUN. Their talent is exceptional, but the vibe and atmosphere they gave to the most important day was beyond what we could have hoped for. As a bride, they eased my anxiety by guiding our decision making in regards to music choices and timing for the evening with their knowledge about weddings. They were flexible the night of and made sure that the feel of the evening came before their needs. They spent time learning a new song that was special to us for our first dance and they even rehearsed with a close friend so she could sing with them for a special song of the night. They came early to set up, they stayed late when my friends didn't want to go home, and they look great in all our photos cause they are damn dashing, too. I hope every bride gets the joy they get that this band gave to me. I have NO regrets choosing this band. I would recommend them to ANYONE.

  Casual Bowtie played our wedding reception, and we couldn't have been happier! Fun for all ages! The energy of the band, the diversity of music spanning from the 50's to today, and the communication leading up to the wedding made for an incredible experience. Our guests haven't stopped talking about how much fun they had at the reception, thanks to the talents of Casual Bowtie. Rob spent time prior to the event to getting to know us, which made the reception feel extra special. We love Casual Bowtie!

  We hired Casual Bowtie as a wedding gift for the bride and groom, and THEY ROCKED THE HOUSE! Rob was amazing, and helped to get the wedding day game plan run-of-show together while still in the early planning stages. They quickly and (seemingly) effortlessly put all guests at ease, set the tone to expect celebration and fun for the reception, and organized the wedding party to make it look like we knew what we were doing. As the evening progressed, they played EXACTLY the perfect music at the PERFECT time, and kept all guests happy. We had a blast, and it was an experience that can't be matched by a DJ! If you're considering a wedding band, this is the one. This is it. End your search. These guys rock, and will make it their top priority to ensure your wedding is personal, memorable, fun, and special. I can't say enough good things about Casual Bowtie!

  These guys impressed us from the start. They first met with us to talk about all the details of the day. Rob, from Casual Bowtie, brought to our attention several wedding things my wife and I hadn’t even though of- which was invaluable. When the big day arrived the band was incredible. Turns out what everyone says is true- the day is a blur. I am so grateful to have had Rob and the band keep the whole evening flowing with ease. They simply know how to read a crowd and make the night fun without being cheesy or taking too much spotlight. They are exceptionally professional, if I had to do it all over again I would have paid double to have them. All of our guests kept asking where we found them. After the wedding my mother even asked for me to get Rob’s mailing address as she was going to write them a letter (I’m serious). I don’t write reviews, but this needed to be announced- these guys will make your event. No matter what your skills are- people will never remember your iPod playlist. To sum up my above gibberish- Casual Bowtie are professional musicians with an incredible personality. Your entire audience will quietly fall in love with them while celebrating your day- you couldn’t ask for more.

  I highly recommend Casual Bowtie to anyone who wants a live band with heart, talent and enthusiasm.
  
  Casual Bowtie added so much life to my wedding. They were flexible, funny and professional. We had such a great time picking out songs. They are the real deal. That night was filled with so much love and they were the soundtrack.
  
  I will be booking them again for my anniversary!

  We have had Casual Bowtie play our event for the last 2 years. They are so professional and yet fun and spontaneous and play to the crowd. As musicians they are truly accomplished and as entertainers, unsurpassed. They will always be our "go to" band for any event or party we can come up with just to hear them play again! Believe me, you won't be disappointed!!

  Casual Bow-tie delivers fantastic music and energy on stage, AND they are a DREAM to work with when organizing a big event. Rob their coordinator has a very warm and friendly personality which is a real plus with wedding planning and prep because the band is one of many spokes on the wheel of what makes the event run smoothly. Rob is a great collaborator in visualizing the flow of the wedding party and offered helpful suggestions along the way. The talent in this band it out standing- we asked them to do a mash up of 2 songs so we could do Dance with our moms to one song then have the music seamlessly bridge into the bride and groom first dance and then have the music again seamlessly bridge into full on party. Not easy to do but they pulled it off beautifully and our guests were dancing all night long!

  Casual Bowtie provided us with the most amazing music. My daughter did the tango for her first dance, Casual Bowtie did a spectacular job. They play all types of music, from the likes of Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Beatles, Outkast, CeeLo Green, and everyone in between. They will work with your playlist or theirs, they will learn new songs if requested. They did announcements for us and were just the best. They absolutely made my daughters wedding the event of all events, we had a great party and is was enjoyed by all.
