Best band ever made the event perfect

Caboose is an amazing band! A live band was the big splurge for our wedding and well worth it. Everyone had a blast and the dance floor was jammed from start to finish - people are still talking about it a couple of weeks later. The band has a great repertoire and learned two new songs for us.

If you are thinking of booking a band for your wedding/event - look no further. We got pricing from several different popular "wedding" bands in the Austin area and not only was Caboose competitive in their pricing, but they were SO easy to work with. They worked so hard to accommodate our timelines, which were very tight and did an absolutely amazing job. They absolutely MADE our reception. We upgraded and got the horn section and it was the best money we could have spent. They knew oldies, and new music and were so interactive with my husband and I and really everyone in the crowd. Me and all of my bridesmaids got on stage with them for a song and it was an absolutely blast. Everyone at our wedding said how amazing the music was and the dance floor was full all night long. I have full confidence in recommending Caboose for any event - even beyond a wedding that you might be throwing. Mark was also a dream to work with too - so communicative and there for any questions we had along the way - which were many! 100% would pick them over and over again!

This band was fantastic. Mark was easy to work with and the band kept the dance floor full the entire reception.
I look forward to booking them again in the future.

When you are a bride, the last thing you want to worry about is anything technical with your band/DJ, Caboose did just that for me! The created such a fun and lively environment, they entertained guests from 5 years old to 70 years old. But they didn’t create a concert feel, they still made myself and my husband the priority of the day. I’m sadly writing this review over a year later because life is life right? But I think it says a lot that even over a year, I think they were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. My friends and family still talk about them and we wish every day we could hire them back for another event. You will not be disappointed in this band!

Caboose performed for our wedding, and they were fantastic. We looked at a number of bands in the Austin area, and they provided the most flexibility of any of the bands (adding different instruments to the band), and had a classic wedding song list. They had everyone out on the dance floor all night, and kept the party rocking until the end.

Not only was Mark great to work with leading up to the wedding, but he went above and beyond during the wedding to make sure everything was setup and in place for the multiple setups our venue required. He also was quick to offer assistance for non-band related items, took it upon himself to make sure everything was as perfect as it could be the night of.

I know I speak for my wife and her parents when I say that Caboose and Mark Grossman were terrific to work with, and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone else in need of a tremendous wedding band.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
