5 stars aren't enough!

We hired Ron (Elvis) for my mother’s 91st birthday, held at her assisted living facility. She’s been an Elvis fan her whole life, and Ron made the evening unforgettable. Although he’s clearly a seasoned professional who often performs for much larger audiences, he treated our small gathering like a sold‑out show. He knew exactly who his most important audience member was and made sure my mom felt truly celebrated.

Ron brought our family and many of the other residents into the performance, creating a fun, joyful atmosphere from start to finish. He was wonderful to work with beforehand as well, taking the time to tailor the show to us. He and his wife were gracious, kind, and thoughtful throughout setup and after the performance, staying for photos and chatting with everyone who wanted a moment with “Elvis.”

He’s not only a fantastic entertainer but also a genuinely good human being. My cheeks hurt from smiling, and our family and friends haven’t stopped talking about what a special evening it was.

If you want to take your event to the next level, call Ron! You won’t be sorry.

Perfect Performer for Our Vegas Night!

We can’t say enough great things about Ron Short, Elvis Tribute Artist! He was absolutely amazing — professional, easy to work with, and a true crowd-pleaser. Ron not only looks and sounds like Elvis, but he also knows how to engage an audience. He had everyone singing, dancing, and smiling all night long. His performance truly made our Las Vegas casino–themed fundraiser a huge success. We highly recommend him for any event — thank you, Ron, for a fantastic show!

My mother's 84th Birthday Celebration

My mother currently lives in a skilled nursing facility and absolutely LOVES ELVIS. Ron was SO wonderful! With all of the decorations and Ron's expertise in making everyone feel included, her day was everything we hoped it would be. Ron is so personal and made my mom feel so very special. He sang all of her favorite songs, went around and spoke to and made everyone feel like they were part of the show. (Even the other ladies & gentlemen) Even changing outfits during his show. (Which my mother LOVED!) I will be having Ron make my mom feel special every year until my mom is no longer here. Thank You RON for being so GREAT!!

Amazing experience with Ron Short!

Having Ron perform at our event made it extra special! His Elvis performance was excellent and he included the guest of honor in much of it, as well as including the guests. We all had so much fun dancing and singing along. He was just what the party needed. Can't wait to hire Ron Short again for another special event.
