October 13, 2026Wow just wow
David was amazing to work with. I highly recommend him. He has great follow up always keeps you informed of what’s going on. It’s weird, right before the show. He says he has to go to the restroom and then Elvis shows up. Right after the show and Elvis has left the building David shows up. I think they’re the same person.
Seriously, great great guy so glad we found him and it was perfect.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Elvis Impersonator – Highly Recommend!
David Chaney was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, he was incredibly friendly, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Communication was excellent, he was extremely responsive, and he showed up right on time. David went above and beyond to make the experience special. His Elvis performance was entertaining, fun, and full of personality! You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and cares about making people happy. Such a nice guy and an all-around wonderful experience. If you're looking for a great Elvis impersonator for a birthday, party, or special occasion, I highly recommend David Chaney! You won't be disappointed!

Thank you Chris for your incredibly kind review! I thoroughly enjoyed working with you on our event and really enjoyed the members of the audience who were simply awesome! A great audience really inspires and energizes a performer to give back the most they can during any performance. All who were there were certainly no exception. Thank you for the opportunity to meet yourself and a group such fine people! -David

Don't be fooled by performers who present a "watered down" version of Elvis by emulating other entertainers. When you want "Elvis", you want "Elvis" and nobody delivers "Elvis" more in the Carolinas and Virginias than David Chaney! You can be assured that your special function will be in good hands with the professionalism David brings to his tribute show. Don't compromise quality for cut-rate prices. In the entertainment business like any other, you get what you pay for! David began his Elvis Career aboard a cruise ship in 1998.

David has established himself as "The Boardwalk Elvis of Myrtle Beach" doing shows in front of thousands of people annually from all over the world! He is also legally licensed in the state of South Carolina to perform legal marriage nuptials as well as perform an awesome floorshow afterwards. Be assured! Get the best for your function!

Testimonials
I can't begin to tell you how amazing David was. This is one of the most memorable moments in my life. He was on time, very funny and professional, and I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you for putting me in touch with him. We actually went to see him perform his music on Wednesday night as well, and he was amazing as a performer as well. Thank you
– Robert M, 8/9/2010, Wedding Ceremony, Myrtle Beach, SC
Dave was great. He accomodated our special requests for songs. He put on a good show. I got a lot a great feedback from the attendees. Thanks
– Frank G.
David's performance was perfect for my mother's 75th surprise birthday party. David was very attentive to my mother and all of her friends. They all loved the memories it brought back for them. The song selection was a perfect mix of ballads, rock and 1 or 2 gospel songs Elvis was famous for. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed hiring David.
– Sherry D.
Dave Chaney made our event "over the top." Dave is very talented, accommodating, and personable. His "show",along with his gyrations, is very authentic. And his patriotic tribute medley is so very emotional. Everybody loved him and we have already recommended him to others. We thought Elvis was truly "in the building."

While planning our wedding (vow renewal), we decided to have 'Elvis' perform the ceremony and reception, thinking it would add a 'Vegas-style' element of fun. I can't say what my expectations were, but David far exceeded any criteria I could have come up with! His voice and overall performance were amazing (like 'The King' himself was in the room)- he even helped us write our vows, to include phrases like 'Do you promise to...never step on his blue-suede shoes/make her a peanut butter and 'nanner sandwich'. The wedding was a blast and a great time was had by all! I would highly recommend David Chaney- as a person and performer! Thanks again David...
– Kaeti D.
David Chaney was awesome! He far exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He was very professional yet personal. Thank You for such a heart felt show. I hope to hire him again in the future!
– Serina H.
We booked David for a surprise party. His wife, Kathy, was very discreet in letting us know they were here before the birthday girl saw "Elvis." They set up very quickly, and made a wonderful impression on everyone. Complete strangers were walking up to ask for pictures and business cards! David's voice is amazing, he's very adaptable to unexpected situations (we had to take our party to a different location halfway through), and was great with both adults and kids. Everyone had a wonderful day, and no one is going to forget it in this lifetime! We kept some extra business cards to recommend him to friends.
