If anyone is looking for a band - BOBBY J AND STUFF LIKE THAT IS THE ONLY CHOICE! They are incredibly talented musicians and performers that complete any occasion! I planned a wedding in New Orleans from Los Angeles and they were so lovely to work with the entire time. And more than that, they truly made our wedding more fun than we could have ever imagined! All our guests RAVED about them. They were THE BEST!

I cannot express in words how amazing Bobby J and Stuff Like That was at my wedding. They played at my cousin's wedding 3 years ago, and the moment I got engaged, I told my mom that we needed to book Bobby J. And what a great decision that was! My guests did not leave the dance floor the entire night! In addition, guests were coming up to me all night telling me how great the band was, and 6 weeks later, people are still talking about how much fun they had with the band! Lisa is incredibly wonderful to work with. She is accommodating, understanding, and simply lovely...She really cares about you as a bride, and is such a wonderful and comforting person to speak with when you're feeling all of the stress while planning a wedding. Cannot say enough nice things about her. She and Bobby J really made the wedding wonderful with their amazing talent! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Bobby J and the Stuff Like that Band did a phenomenal job on our wedding. We were married on April 14th and hired the band based on a recommendation from our catering manager Sheryl from Broussard’s Restaurant. What a great recommendation it was, we were more than satisfied with the band. All of our guests praised your talents and spot on efficiency all night long. I even received compliments months after the wedding saying how wonderful the band was. But more importantly they made our night magical. They played our favorite songs, interacted with everyone in our group, and made us feel like it was going to be a night we would never forget. Being a destination bride from New York City I was nervous to hire someone without hearing them first but Lisa was so comforting and so professional. I had no doubt that it would be a night we would never forget and I am so glad my guests were so happy.

The band was spectacular! Ms. Lisa was a jewel to work with, and did a great job with coordinating payments, timing, and music. I always felt that the lines of communication were open. Mr. Bobby and the band gave a great performance that our guest are still raving about. After the wedding so many people wanted to know, "Who was that band?". My husband was nervous about all of our guest both young and old enjoying their music, but they perform music from all generes and decades that everyone was able to enjoy. I wasn't a bride to spend the entire reception taking pictures, instead I stayed on the dance floor along with our other guest dancing the night away. If I had to choose a band for our wedding all over again I would still choose Bobby J! To future brides keep in mind that a DJ is okay but a band is classic and adds the WOW factor. There is nothing like live performance.

The band provided personalized choice selections for the couple's first dance, the father-daughter dance the mother-son and bridal party-family dance. The choices reflected each family's favorite song and the appropriateness for the dance. As one can tell by the date of the wedding, this affair was post Katrina. But this and the fact that the wedding venue was located in Houston, TX did not deter the band from putting on a show stopping extravaganza!!! A good time was had by all and many inquiries were made as to the band'savailabiliity for future events.

Lisa and Bobby J. We just wanted to thank you and your entire band for making Aimee & Tommy's wedding one of the most wonderful memories we will ever have. As I'm sure you could see, Aimee and Tommy had such a wonderful time with you guys. I don't think I saw Aimee leave the dance floor, except the times she had to take pictures. They will remember this with fond memories forever. Everyone has been commenting on how great you guys were & it was one of the best wedding's they have attended. You really kept the Riverview Room rocking the entire length of the reception. Lisa, thank you so much for being so accommodating and working with every request that was made of you. You guys are so talented, and your performance shows how much you really love what you are doing. Karen & Mel (parents of bride)

Outstanding, simply outstanding!! Bobby J and Stuff Like That provided high powered entertainment for my event -- So much so, that I have influenced their hire for two other events. Bobby is a fantastic vocalist who has a great Band that will keep the dance floor full. My family and guest are still talking about the great time they had. Easy to work with, on time, professional in every way and on the money with great entertainment. They truly enjoy entertaining -- you and your guest will enjoy being entertained.

I can not say enough wonderful things about Bobby J and Stuff Like That and his wonderful band manager, Lisa. The band went above and beyond what I expected and were incredible the night of my wedding. On the night of my wedding there was record breaking rainfall and flooding across the entire city. Some of our family and dearest friends couldn't even make it out of their homes. But Bobby J and the entire band was there and they rocked the house down!

If you want a fabulous band who really knows how to entertain, Bobby J is the band for you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
