Review by Linda L.

Private PartyReviewed on August 5, 2018From Hillsborough, CA

Bobby Jo was on time, great personality, and wonderful musician and singer. He adapted beautifully to our specific needs, and all our guests were very impressed. He was a great addition to our party and truly made it a very special evening.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on July 23, 2013From Tracy, CA

Bobby Jo Valentine was amazing! He played music for our wedding for dinner and everyone at the party was totally vibing and relaxed because of it! Our family and friends loved him! Bobby is one of the first things they talk about while reminiscing about the day. Also, he played his song "by my side" for our first dance together and it was totally perfect and lovely, lyrically and mood. Highly recommended!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on August 6, 2015From San Francisco, CA

Bobby is a talented guy who provided the perfect soundtrack to our wedding reception. I asked him to learn a particular song which he did within the space of a week and played it absolutely beautifully. I was very happy we chose Bobby to play.
