Wedding•Reviewed on May 3, 2008•From Wimberley, TX
Owen and his wife were very warm,accomodating, and professional. Owen played for us during the rehearsal dinner and for the ceremony and reception. His prices were beyond reasonable considering he trying all the way from North Carolina to Texas. Our event had family and friends of all ages, and Owen made sure everyone had a fabulous time. Our guests raved about him, and I will definitely consider Owen again should we have another big event. Before the wedding, I was most excited out meeting Owen and experiencing his music, and I was not disappointed. He was a great entertainer.

Well for anyone wanting great entertainment at their event Owen is the best. I have attended many functions with live bands, etc and I can honestly say I enjoyed Owen the best. For anyone not looking at him you would think it was a full band, but it is only him. He performed at my wedding and I had some many compliments on him and I even had other entertainers there. I also had two event coordinators who wanted me to give his information so they could book him for other things. I was so happy with the response....I sure hope that Owen gets more gigs from my guests. If I ever need another entertainer there is no question who I will get....OWEN!!!!!!

Owen Poteat's performance was well beyond my expectations.
I could not believe someone of his caliber would play at my party!
In addition, he is a very likeable guy: friendly, easy to work with, no ego issues. He arrived an hour and a half early to set up.
My crowd loved him-and I think he will definitely be getting new business from my guests-as well as repeat business from me.
Anyone considering booking Owen-do not hesitate-book him quickly! He is fabulous!

The best way to describe Owen is amazing. We could not have asked for a better musician to play at our wedding. We requested, a week before the wedding, a special song to be played during the ceremony that he did not know. Not only did he learn it, he blew it away. All of our guests commented on how wonderful and talented he is. If I ever need a musician again for any reason, Owen will be the first I call. If anyone reading this hasn't decided on a musician, stop looking and book him now.

Owen arrived at 5:35 for a 7 PM event. He was extremely cordial and easy going during the set-up. He was not overbearing. He was relaxed. His music was perfect. He accomadated all our special requests. He is quite talented as he not only plays the guitar, but the harmonica, and the drums (with his foot). I would highly recommend him to others. He brought 10-15 business cards which were all gone by the end of the night. On top of all this, Owen seems like a good man, a father, a husband, and all that goes along with that. A plus plus!! Thank you to Gigmasters for the wonderful web-site for finding excellent musicians!

We asked a lot of Owen: acoustic only for ceremony music, then set up outside for a short reception, then set up inside for a late night gathering . .. he did it all, and wonderfully! Everyone had a great time, and largely due to the music - listening, dancing, hanging out. . . .whatever you want! We even got comments from staff at the Inn the next day about what great music we had going on! It was hard to make the decision to hire someone from only on-line exposure, but with Owen, it turned out to be no risk at all!

Owen was the highlight of our party! He took requests, played country, oldies, classics and the Beatles. The volume was perfect, loud enough to enjoy the music and still allowed our guests to socialize. Besides Owen's great talent, his sense of humor and warm personality endeared him to us all! Thank you Owen, for a memorable evening!

To all that are looking for a professional, great communicator and a great person to make your special event amazing you need to hire Owen. He treats you like a friend and not a client. After working with him I see why he is #1. He has a great voice and I will refer him to many of my friends. I provided him with lyrics to a song that I wrote for my wife and his voice made it unbelievable.
Thanks again Owen for everything and I hope we could stay in touch.
Your pal,

Owen was wonderful. He loves what he is doing and it shines from within him when he sings. He performed every song I requested from his song list, and then some! We started with a small group and had people show up from across the lake to enjoy his music. What a wide range of songs, including his originals. Fun and laid-back. Our small crowd had a blast! From start to finish, Owen was very professional as well as down-to-earth.

Owen performed at our son's wedding rehearsal dinner. He was wonderful. His music was right on target - very talented! He was cordial, well dressed and easy to contact through the planning stages of the event. He arrived on time and played the entire evening. There were many guests at the dinner who took his number and plan to hire him for their events in the future. I will definitely book Owen again. As a matter of fact, we're trying to cook something up here at the beach in the near future.
