Really and truly...I have no idea where to begin...As I am sitting here just reflecting on the entire reception I am so happy with the way the evening went. It was a perfect celebration. You are something else, Oscar. You were so kind to go the extra mile for Jordan and Zach..you entertained those 225 guests of ours the entire night. I thought you were magnificient before you ever started playing and now, well..you are even better than that. Thank you so much. We love you and all the members of Casper!!

June 2010 wedding

Casper did an excellent job at our daughter's wedding reception and engaged our whole crowd. They were well worth the money and definitely made a difference!

Hi, Barry! I cannot thank you enough for your recommending Casper for my daughter's wedding--they were SPECTACULAR!! The band members were professional yet personable, great musicians, energetic, and kept the dance floor packed from beginning to end. I don't even remember then taking breaks! When the last dance ended, the still crowded dance floor (filled with faces of all ages) was chanting for more, so what could we do but give it to them! My son's friends said the best part of the evening was that last half hour. Our guests came ready for a party and Casper delivered that--and then some. I don't think the bride and groom ever left the room. What I loved most was that Casper is a group of showmen that don't make the party about themselves but the group they are playing for. They are five-star performers and a joy to work with. Bravo, EastCoast!

Our guests raved about the band, and I received many thanks that I absolutely owe to you.

Corporate event

Not only are the various artists talented in your group, but the hotel catering sales manager said your group was the most professional she had ever worked with.

I have been arranging our firm functions for some 16 years, and I don't recall any other time when everyone was in total agreement over the performance of the band.

I have no doubt that Casper's return is why the event sold out.

Casper was great, the best, beyond all expectations-which, by the way, were pretty high.
Kealy wedding reception

Casper was fabulous..a huge hit. Most cooperative and flexible with the set schedule and breaks. Some members suggested they play for every dance we have in the future!
Dance Club

People stayed until the end because Casper kept them entertained and happy. We would definitely rate them an A+. Their range of songs and dancing really made a wonderful impression on our guests.
Wedding reception

Casper was outstanding. Our guests absolutely raved about how good the band was..and how happy they were to finally see a band at a wedding that was fun. They had as much fun as we did!
Wedding reception

As usual, everything went very smoothly. The folks with the band are always great to work with. They really helped us out this year. The music was great, the interaction with the crowd was fun. These guys just give us a fantastic show every time. Thanks to the band, and many thanks to you.

We feel very lucky to have had Oscar Bowman and Casper at our daughter’s wedding. They are professional in every manner and they kept our reception dancing and happy from the very first dance. They learned a new song just for our bride. That was very special for all of us. We felt like the band cared about us and that they wanted to be a part of this very special day in our lives.
Lesley F. Greenberg

Casper was not my first choice. I knew they were good from the various reports I had received from friends; but growing up with bands like Bill Deal and The Embers - Casper had not entered my mind. Fortunately through conversations we did hire Casper and I would recommend them head-and-shoulders above the other groups. One way you can tell how good a band is by the number of people on the dance floor at the beginning and end of the night. The dance floor was jammed all four hours.
W. Malone Schooler

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed hearing the band Casper that was booked by one of our members for their wedding reception. Their music and lights were very exciting and it added a lot to the entire event. Casper was very organized and professional.
