September 4, 2022Elvis was the best entertainment at my retirement party! He was engaging, had the right moves and the perfect voice. I loved his persona and how his wife was his backup. Wish I had another party soon to have him back. I had booked him based on reviews and a hunch. He was the perfect one out of all the "Elvis's" out there. Totally happy with everything start to finish. By the way, he and his wife are the nicest people! Everyone that came to my party loved him, too! Thank you for a great and memorable evening!

October 21, 2021John Elvis was fantastic! He was flexible and great to work with during the planning of the event. Then, that night, everyone, young and old, loved his performance. He interacted with the audience and everyone was fully engaged. The performance of "Let Me Be Your Teddy Bear" was a favorite especially with the toy teddy bears. I was totally impressed with his interaction with my grandson who came out on stage dressed as a mini-elvis. The audience loved it and my grandson was totally charged up! I would highly recommend this performer.
