We hired Caboose for our wedding that was supposed to take place in April 2020. Although our plans were derailed by COVID, we just wanted to say that not only do we love their sound but Mark was so easy to work with from start to finish. We especially appreciated how understanding, reasonable and fair he was as we dealt with the fall-out of having to cancel our event. We would recommend working with them to anybody.
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!
If we could give Caboose 10 stars, we would give them 20! They did an AMAZING show for us at our recent wedding. Our guests were equally as impressed, which was quite obvious with the number of compliments we received about them! They were also nice enough to sing the exact wedding song my husband and I wanted to dance to for our first dance and they nailed it! Caboose made our dream wedding complete and we are both just couldn't be more happy.
Caboose was one of the BEST parts of our wedding! Mark Groosman was so professional and promptly responded to all my emails during the planning process. Excellent variety of music and VERY talented musicians and vocalist. We received so many compliments and the dance floor was crowded all night. I highly recommend Caboose!!!!
Super easy to work with and very accommodating! Had the music planned out perfectly and got the crowd involved.
Caboose was awesome! They did such a great job engaging with guests and tailoring the music to the crowd as the night went on! The manager, Mark, was also awesome coordinating and following up to ensure everything went as planned. Would highly recommend them!
Caboose- all five star rating for good reason. They came highly recommended from personal friends as we as our wedding planner, and we were not disappointed. On your wedding day, time goes quickly and you need everything to go on schedule. Mark and the band members were waiting for us when we arrived to get ready. We confirmed the specifics of our song selections and then did not see them until the dinner began. This band was wonderful, energetic, and definitely got everyone up on the dance floor. I would hire them again.
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!
5-Stars all the way around!!
I cannot say enough good things about Caboose. We booked the 5-piece band plus 3 additional horns for our wedding in Austin and it was AMAZING! Completely blew away all of my expectations! From the very beginning, the band's manager (Mark Grossman) made the planning process so easy and really listened to everything I said I wanted/didn't want... and he was always quick to respond! The night of the wedding, we received so many compliments about the band and asking how we found them. The music, vocals, announcements they made throughout the evening... all of it was just great! The dance floor was packed the entire night and I just wish I could go back and enjoy the party all over again! Outstanding band... book them if you get the opportunity!
Caboose was SO MUCH FUN! They are such great musicians and such a fun band. All night, guests were telling us, "this band is so great!" The dance floor was packed the whole time. Like some other reviewers, we originally wanted Memphis Train but took a chance on Caboose because they were more affordable and we'd read great reviews of them. They were spectacular! We added the horns which just made them that much better. If dancing/partying is a priority, then you must have Caboose! And their manager, Mark, is great to work with. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them!
Caboose made our wedding reception absolutely unforgettable! Family and friends still rave about how much fun they had dancing all night long. Caboose was extremely professional to work with, and they met all of our needs, including performing the MOST AMAZING version of "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles ever! They have a wide variety of songs to perform, and made the reception flow perfectly! Selecting this band to play at our wedding was definitely our best decision!
My daughter’s wedding was February 4, 2012, and we, too, originally contacted Mark Grossman to hire Memphis Train, but they were already booked. After reviewing many bands, we selected Caboose and they were wonderful! Apart from being so accommodating and easy to work with, (They happily and professionally came to the rescue when we developed a sound system problem with a video my daughter wanted to show.) they were SO MUCH FUN! They played all the songs my daughter wanted, learned a new one for her and had a fabulous sound. The lead vocal was awesome! We would definitely use them again!
