Description
SERVING FL, AL, MS, LA & GA. Our GigMasters clients LOVE us; you can read it in their 78 GREAT reviews! A versatile, FULLY INSURED Wedding Band that also performs for corporate events & private parties. Professional lighting & pre-event services at no extra charge. A NATIONALLY rated GigMasters DJ at every event at no extra charge. The Charlie Roberts Band offers more for less. How?
* The Charlie Roberts Band features both female and male lead/background vocals enabling the band to cover a wide variety of artists and styles.
* The Charlie Roberts Band brings a full DJ service to EVERY show. Most bands take a break every 40 minutes, throw in a CD and disappear out back for 20 minutes, leaving you and your guests without entertainment during that time.. Over a four hour event, that could end up being as much as 80 minutes of dead time. Charlie Roberts, who is also currently a nationally rated GigMasters DJ/Emcee, provides his DJ services between the live sets so there is no break in the entertainment. So you get great live band entertainment and a great DJ for the breaks to play songs most bands don't, all at no extra charge!
* The Charlie Roberts Band has 78 great client reviews (Charlie Roberts has over 260 on his four GigMasters sites), which are all un-editable by the performers. Honest client appraisals have greater value than band ratings based on how much money they make, demos songs that may or may not actually be the performer of record, or any other website self hype. Reviews rank from good at the top to bad at the bottom so make sure you scan them all when searching for the band to trust with your special event.
* The Charlie Roberts Band has over a decade experience as members of the American Federation of Musicians union. There is nothing like experience. Full-time professionals in any field are usually more desirable than the occasional part time weekend warrior, especially when it comes to entertainment. Charlie Roberts performs 2-4 events every week across the Southeast, entertaining for over one thousand weddings and hundreds of corporate and private events such as birthday, anniversary and holiday parties. Since joining GigMasters in late 2004, he has booked 500+ performances on his 4 sites, including 130+ with his band.
* The Charlie Roberts Band carries documentable up-to-date general liability insurance for your protection. Most bands don't. Guess who can be liable for the dancer who gets hurt on the dance floor, the damage a band may inadvertently cause a venue loading or unloading, or the person who trips over the light stand and ends up injured? You can, unless you have an insurance rider from your band protecting you. For your protection and peace of mind, Charlie Roberts carries a standard two million dollar liability policy, all at no extra charge to you.
* The Charlie Roberts Band has quality equipment, including back up systems in case of emergency. We uses brand name sound equipment and instruments such as Bose, Yamaha, Roland, Mackie, Taylor, Shure, Fender, and Gibson. Back up amps and mixers are also available at every event for your piece of mind - at no extra charge.
* The Charlie Roberts Band includes professional dance floor lighting if desired, at no extra charge.
* The Charlie Roberts Band will provide pre-event services such as help planning wedding or event timelines, putting together play lists, and help to emcee during the performance if needed, at no extra charge. You also get access to Charlie's on-line client web tools, all at no extra charge.
Additionally, Charlie Roberts also provides wedding ceremony entertainment consisting of DJ services, acoustic or electric guitar, piano, and singing. For clients looking for a great sound on a smaller budget, Charlie Roberts also performs as a one-man band singing, playing guitar and keyboards while using state of the art midi sequenced bass, horn, and percussion tracks.
"My entertainment philosophy is simple and time tested: Your event is about you, your wants, your desires. Tell me what you want, and I will listen. Let my knowledge and experience guide you. Working together, we will create great entertainment and an occasion to remember." Charlie Roberts

Feedback
- being the art director of a wedding magazine, i had extremely high expectations for my wedding night- and i honestly couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Charlie greeted my husband and i at the door of our ceremony venue, because he knew he'd not get another chance to say hello. It was so sweet. He also played a COMPLETELY obscure request i mentioned to him. he found the song online, downloaded it, and dedicated it to my mom- just as i asked. it was a truly amazing night, and he came through for us, in every single way. Thanks Charlie- you were the best! -- Lauren C, Savannah, GA, 3/11/2012
- Charlie Roberts Band & DJ was hired for a conference that ranged in ages and styles but somehow he found a way to bond everyone together! There were so many people on the dance floor we had to move tables out of the way! They were great!! -- Stephanie S, Savannah, GA, 12/6/2011
- Charlie and Anna were outstanding. From the moment I requested a quote to the last dance at the reception, Charlie was friendly and responsive, and was willing to accommodate any request (musical or otherwise!) that we threw his way.
My husband is Indian, and there were quite a few complicated names to pronounce. Charlie called us to master pronunciation ahead of the wedding and did a great job with all of the announcements. He and Anna also ensured we had a blast at the reception with great music selection and performance. We also asked them to stay for an extra hour at the very last moment, and they graciously agreed to keep the party going. Incredible. -- Jessica G, Savannah, GA, 11/5/2011
- Charlie could not have been more accomodating for our party. I had been apprehensive before the evening in that I had not heard the Duo play and it was our big annual event. Through mulitple email and phone conversations, Charlie showed professionalism and concern for my every question. Throughout the cocktail hour and dinner he did "covers" of popular songs extremely well - he has a good voice. For our dancing he played all the previously requested songs I had sent him and any song asked for on the spot. We will defunitely have Charlie as a permanent feature for our annual Christmas party - we've already booked him for next year!! -- Karen K, Savannah, GA, 12/2/2011
- Charlie did a great job at our wedding reception. He was accommodating of last minute requests and the fact that we didn't exactly fit to our schedule. All of our guests really enjoyed the music and we would definitely recommend Charlie Roberts to our friends. -- Adam N, Charleston, SC, 11/4/2011
- Charlie and his band were extremely accomodating and professional! Best experience we could have asked for and more! -- Kyle W, Dothan, AL, 10/15/2011
- Charlie Roberts Band & DJ Show was perfect for my party. They have an awesome song list with something for everybody. They were on time, very professional and talented and the music was great. Everybody loved them and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a terrific party band! All my guests wanted to know where I found this great band.
Thanks Gig Masters! -- Donna L, Pensacola, FL, 8/20/2011
- I must say that Charlie Roberts was amazing! He is a true professional. He performed at my wedding ceremony as well as my reception. Our guests loved him and his partner! It was lovely to work with him. He was always kind and friendly. Charlie was willing to learn special songs and performed them beautifully. His easy going attitude and fun loving spirit made for a great wedding.
Thank you Charlie Roberts Band.
Sincerely,
Jen Puleo -- Jennifer B, Savannah, GA, 7/30/2011
- My daughter and son-in-law were extremely pleased with Charlie and his show. It was a beach wedding that started late because of rain and the limo bringing the bridal party broke down so the wedding started an hour late but Charlie stayed the extra hour with no questions asked. -- Kim B, Sullivans Island, SC, 4/22/2011
- Charlie arrived on time and was ready to go at the appointed hour. He performed as requested and everyone was pleased. I have nothing but accolades for his professionalism and only wish I could have spent more time challenging his talents, but I had a party to put on at the same time. -- Skip F, Orlando, FL, 2/19/2011
- Charlie Roberts is the ultimate professional and most talented. I have already recommended Charlie to many friends. I am an event planner by trade and I would hire Charlie for all events.

- Without a doubt, I would recommend Charlie Roberts to anyone. I was impressed by his professionalism, reassurred by his willingness to accomodate my needs, and thrilled with the positive feedback that I received from all of my guests.
For my husband and I, the reception was the most important part of our day. We wanted to celebrate our marriage with a phenomenal party; Charlie helped us to achieve just that. He worked to engage the crowd, played upbeat music, and paid attention to the reaction of our guests to each song so that he knew what to play next.
Don't hesitate in hiring Charlie Roberts. He is the absolute best.
-- Krystin P, West Palm Beach, FL, 12/11/2010
- Charlie Roberts did an amazing job at our wedding. The band played for Cocktails and dinner and then we switched to DJ services when we hit the dance floor. It was a perfect combination. Charlie really paid attention to our must play list and our do not play list. He also filled in the blanks and got the crowd going at times. He checked with me several times during the night to see if there was anything we wanted him to play that had not been played yet. He was very professional, fun, enthusiastic and talented. We highly recommend Charlie as both a musician/singer and a DJ. He exceeded our expectations!!! -- Stephanie S, Fairhope, AL, 10/23/2010
- Charlie Roberts was by the far the best buy of our wedding! Not only did he sound amazing, he is a professional to the max. We had our wedding at my in-laws home and hadn't quite figured out the logistics behind playing live music in the backyard away from the house for the ceremony. But no fear, Charlie Roberts to the rescue. He set up his equipment on battery power half-way between the house and the ceremony site so everyone could hear and he could signal me to walk down. And for the reception, he kept the party going from start to finish! We recommend Charlie to anyone looking for an awesome profesional musician or dj for their next event! -- Megan P, Orlando, FL, 10/9/2010
- Charlie was great! The band was everything I expected and more! They kept the party going to the very end! I would highly recommend them! -- Megan C, Saint Augustine, FL, 9/17/2010
- We couldn't have asked for a better experience with the Charlie Roberts Band. He is more than accommodating, professional, and friendly. Funny story, he was the DJ/MC at my cousin's wedding 2 years ago, (which we didn't know), but when my relatives realized this, they were all STOKED! :) GREAT band. -- Sarah J, Jackson, AL, 5/29/2010
- Charlie was quick to respond to any emails I sent him and very personable. I felt the cost for the talent and presentation was very reasonable. I would hire his band again if we have another big celebration! -- Angie G, Oak Hill, AL, 3/19/2010
- Fabulous, really friendly, easy to work with. Lots of fun and very professional. we were very impressed and would absolutely use them again!!
Thanks so much Charlie & Band:) -- April G, Lafayette, LA, 11/21/2009
- The Charlie Roberts Band played our wedding reception and we could not have been more pleased. They kept everybody dancing the whole night. We would highly recommend them to anybody. -- Jeff S, Jackson, MS, 9/12/2009
- Charlie Roberts did an amazing job. He acted as a one man band and DJ for my wedding and was able to play all the songs I had requested and even songs my family wanted to hear. I would highly reccomend using his services for your wedding. He made it fun and got everyone involved in the activities. -- Krystal K, Tampa, FL, 9/6/2009
- Thank you Charlie for making the reception a huge hit! The dance floor was never empty! Your kindness and professionalism will not be forgotten.
The Norman Family -- Kathy N, Gulf Breeze, FL, 6/27/2009
- We were so pleased with Charlie. He did an amazing job and is very talented. He played acoustically on the beach for our ceremony, and played guitar and sang, and also DJ'd at our reception. He was also extremely easy to work with before the wedding and was able to handle every request we threw his way. We received SO MANY compliments from all of our guests and would definitely recommend him and use him again in the future. He helped to make our wedding perfect. -- Amy G, Fort George Island, FL, 5/8/2009
- Charlie had every aspect in control, whether it be the rehearsal dinner entertainment, the set-up on the beach for the ceremony, or keeping things together when the reception started off late. He is a true professional and has alot of patience, and cool when the situation warrants it. He also is just a great guy and everyone had great things to say about him and his wife. I would highly recommend him for whatever occasion you have.
Brent Meyer (father of the groom) -- Brent M, Savannah, GA, 4/25/2009
- Absolutely fantastic! They made our daughter's wedding reception the best party it possibly could be! Very professional to deal with and so much fun to be around! We had a very happy bride and groom with the band. Everyone just had to get up and dance, there is no way you can stay in your sit when this band is playing!! Thank you, thank you! -- Carrie H, Bay Minette, AL, 12/6/2008
- Charlie and his band were great! They played an array of music just like we wanted. They had the crowd up and dancing from the very beginning. We wanted a party at our reception and thats what we got. Thanks guys for everything!
Melissa and Jeremy -- Melissa R, Moss Point, MS, 11/8/2008
- Charlie was a great performer and made our reception all the better!
From his contemporary songs to good ol' Motown, he made everyone
get on the dance floor. We would recommend him to everyone! -- Todd S, Ridgeland, MS, 11/1/2008
- Thank you for being apart of making our day wonderful!!!! -- Leslie W, Destin, FL, 10/18/2008
- Charlie Roberts played for my sister's 50th birthday party! We
had a 70's disco blast and he did an outstanding job playing all
the songs we requested. He has an extensive list of songs and played a wide variety of 70's music. Everyone raved about him and wanted to
know where I found him. I would definately recommend him(in fact
I already have) to anyone looking to hire entertainment for a party.
My sister said "everything was perfect". Thanks Charlie! S.Gandy-Ashburn, GA -- Susan G, Ashburn, GA, 10/17/2008
- I give this band the highest recommendation. Their responsiveness in communications and willingness to meet our requests were remarkable. We hired them for a wedding reception and they were able to accommodate us in presenting a slide show set to music using their equipment. Everything went off without a hitch and I am confident that they have the equipment, technical expertise, and approachability to meet your needs. Musically, they're pretty versatile and demonstrated real style in playing softer music during hors d'oeuvres/cocktail hour and then really cranking up the party afterward. They capped off a perfect day for me and my bride! A+! -- Aaron M, Jackson, MS, 9/27/2008
- Charlie and his band did an amazing job at our wedding reception..they were the life of the party and we couldnt have asked for any better! they were very talented and very professional. they performed all different types of music to satisfy everyone!! i would Highly recommend charlie and his band and i hope to get the honor to hear than again soon!! THANKS SOO MUCH yall made our wedding reception perfect!!!---Whitney and Jonathan Taylor -- Whitney M, Jackson, AL, 8/9/2008
- Charlie was great ,lots of praise by guests ,if they hadn't run us all out we would have stayed all night & let him play
I'm hoping we can get him for another event @ our home sometime
Charlie ,my son said Mommy , he played Sweet home Alabama ,almost as good as Skynyrd ! -- Kathy S, St Augustine, FL, 6/10/2008
- This band was GREAT!!! They played for my husband's surprise 50th B'day Party and their sound was awesome. The songs they played really kept our guests dancing all night long. Charlie, I can't thank you enough for the wonderful performance you guys played Friday night. All our friends and family were wowed by your music, and I'm sure you'll be hearing from us soon to play at other events on the Eastern Shore. Take care my friend. ~Jay's Brick House~ Deborah -- Deborah H, Fairhope, AL, 5/30/2008

- He anticipated and helped with other event sound needs we did not think about. He was resposnsive to live requests. His choice of music realy got people up and dancing. -- Jan F, New Orleans, LA, 4/6/2008
- Charlie and his band were awesome. They were the life of the party!! They kept it going and going.

We would have been partying all night if they were there! the music was awesome...everyone loved them! -- Andrea S, Pensacola, FL, 3/8/2008

- Charlie was absolutely wonderful! He arranged for the music during our beach ceremony and had everything set up ahead of time for our guests to immediately head up to the poolside deck for the reception and great music. He did both live performance and acted as DJ during the reception. All of our guests thought he did an amazing job and i would highly recommend him to anybody for their wedding or other special event. Thank you Charlie for helping to make our wedding day such a success!

- Charlie helped to make our beach wedding absolutely beautiful with his instrumental guitar music, and our reception entertainment was a blast! He went above and beyond our expectations, and all of our guests commented on how much fun they had. There is not a song that he can't provide. Charlie is a great, genuine guy, and we felt like we had an old friend playing for us. I highly recommend him for any occasion!
Paige R. Lester -- Paige R, Panama City Beach, FL, 10/15/2005
- Charlie is the MAN!!!
First, he performed as Dj for my sunset ceremony right on the beach, finding all the traditional songs and making it just right.
Then Charlie took over the reception, making sure the entertainment never stopped, while co-ordinating all the things like the first dance, the toasts, the garter and flower toss, and the cake cutting. Smooth was the word. And the dancers wouldn't quit-we had to throw them all out ;)
It was a wonderful night and in no small part thanks to Charlie and his professionalism! Thanks again, Charlie! -- Jaclyn A, Gulf Breeze, FL, 5/1/2005
- I'm still glowing. Charlie was wonderful; professional, on-time and a great entertainer. He did a thorough job as emcee helping to co-ordinate the bridal party entrance and introductions, the announcements during the reception, and helping out with all the little things that help a reception go smooth. As the music, wow! I never knew one person could sound so much like a 4 piece band; it was awesome.
From the easy listening music during dinner, to the dance music afterwards, he did a fantastic job mixing things up to satisfy all the age groups. I recommend Charlie to any couple who is looking for a professional entertainer to make their special day that more special.
Thanks Charlie!!! -- Ashley E, Pensacola, FL, 4/23/2005
- Charlie made certain our special request and needs were accommodated, ensuring our day was how we dreamt it could and would be. Thank you Charlie!! Amy & Bob. -- Amy N, Sea Grove, FL, 4/21/2005
