Wedding•Reviewed on September 13, 2015•From Asheville, NC
Everyone is still raving about how awesome Owen was at our wedding! He played a FANTASTIC show. He arrived very early to set up in 3 locations and played our entire wedding LIVE from soft acoustics for the prelude & ceremony, to the first dances, and all throughout the reception. He had our dance floor FILLED! We still have people going out of their way to tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and we have Owen to thank for that! TRUST him completely -- he has a great process, and get ready to have the most amazing wedding ever because of him! My venue coordinators were so impressed they’re calling him for their future weddings! Owen is the best!

I hired Owen to play during my wedding ceremony even though the venue had piped in music available. I am so happy I did. He arrived early, was set up and ready to go even before half of the wedding party. The venue included a DJ service for the reception but I had Owen cover before, during the ceremony & cocktail hour. He was so inntuitive during the parts of the ceremony I reguested he play. I got huge praise for having chosen him. People loved lt. "Man, I could have just listened to him all night" was repeated to me many many times.
He added so much to the whole evening and walking down the aisle to his music is part of my wedding I will never forget.
Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on August 11, 2013•From Southport, NC
Cannot say enough!! All guests, wedding party, and resort staff were so impressed! He can play anything, is very talented, and plays a mix that all ages can relate. Several wait staff mentioned they hear a lot of performers but he was the best they had heard. Mr. Poteat was very accomodating to the wedding toasts and introductions and went above and beyond. I will definitely book him again!
Since the dinner I have been inundated with inquires of him, where I found him. All were amazed that every song was performed well. His performance made the rehearsal dinner truely memorable to all.

Owen was fantastic!!! He played for our daughters lakeside wedding ceremony and for the cocktail hour prior to the reception at Magnolia Manor 30 minutes away. I don't have enough superlatives to describe what a great musician he is. He was perfect and learned every song we requested. Additionally, he is a super nice guy to work with. I hope I have the opportunity to hire him again for something! HIGHLY recommend!

Another fantastic performance by Owen Poteat. Real the other reviews, this guy is an amazing performer and one of the nicest guys around. He's also very versatile and can play to any kind of crowd. You won't go wrong booking Owen Poteat.
Family Reunion•Reviewed on November 26, 2012•From Richmond, VA
We had a family reunion dinner party at the beautiful Jefferson Hotel in Richmond VA on the night after Thanksgiving. Owen Poteat took this lovely dinner to the level of extraordinary! Owen's music and singing had all the relatives on the dance floor, from age 7 to 75.
Everyone told me they could not believe how much dancing the group did. Owen was very good-natured about playing requests as well as his own music, and he "brought the house down" with many of his numbers. Owen arrived early and played late, without even a break. It was an extraordinary evening, and we are extremely grateful to Owen for making it so. Betsy and Dave

Here is the feedback from the Store Manager:
Owen is a really talented guy. His song selection was exactly what I had in mind, and he really added authenticity to the event. He played longer than he was supposed to, and I received compliments about him from the customers.

Owen is phenomenal ! The music for our daughter's wedding was exactly what the Bride and Groom wanted. Owen provided beautiful music for the ceremony, enjoyable music for dinner and then kept us entertained throughout the evening. Many, many guests commented on his musical talents. It could not have been a better evening. I would highly recommend him for a beautiful evening. Thanks, Owen, you made it an extra special day. Sincerely, Father of the Bride.
Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on April 16, 2012•From Supply, NC
OWEN IS AWESOME!! We hired Owen for our wedding rehearsal dinner. We had great food, great drinks, and great company, but Owen was certainly the highlight of the night. I am a musician (guitarist) myself, and can tell you first hand that Owen is INCREDIBLY talented. It was impossible to keep people off of the dance floor! As musically talented as Owen is, he is equally as professional and accommodating. We were having such a great time, we asked Owen to play for another hour after he was supposed to be finished. He was so easy to work with, and everybody at the party was raving about him!! Owen gets our highest possible recommendation. SIX STARS OUT OF FIVE!

Owen was absolutely fantastic at our reception. He learned songs just for our event in a short time. He was extremely professional and talented, not to mention a great value. If I have another even in the future that I could use a musician, I will without a doubt be calling him up first. I couldn't have been more impressed with how he handled everything, absolutely amazing!
