Horrendous. I would never, ever book James Begley. UNRELIABLE. I booked him 3.5 months in advance, and he cancelled on my Charity event for cancer 3 days prior my event. Unprofessional. Disgusting. Now I'm distressed of trying to find an Elvis who is good, and available last minute. Which is next to impossible, and should not have been my problem. If you commit to a booking, your clients should be able to trust 100% you will be there. " I'm afraid that I have to cancel this booking as I just had to go to St. Louis on business and will not be back until Saturday evening. Very sorry for the last-minute change. Best of luck with your event. Sincerely, James."
Bridal Shower•Reviewed on July 16, 2017•From Toronto, ON
We held a crazy little bridal shower with a casino theme, and a surprise performance by Elvis was the perfect highlight. James worked with us to find the optimal performance start time and duration, and he was flexible and easy to communicate with for advance planning. He showed up exactly on time as discussed and set up quickly while we distracted the bride-to-be. She came back to a fantastic performance by a jumpsuited Vegas-era Elvis, who sang to her and to the room. When some of the crowd was reluctant to join in the dancing, he engaged them by starting a congo line. It made for a hilarious and memorable afternoon.

James very recently performed @ my 65th birthday party. What a fantastic, talented performer!! My guests are still raving about it. Very personable, and professional.As close to an Elvis look alike,with voice, and moves that you'll ever get. We loved the costumes, song choices and interaction with the guests. James had everyone up on the dance floor including the children and female guests swooning!! I would highly recommend James for any future events. Thank you so very much James for making my birthday so memorable !!

James was absolutely wonderful! We were celebrating my husband's retirement from the Canadian Forces and he
was completely surprised!! In fact, our guests are still raving on how awesome a performer he was! James really got our party going and let's just say...there was a whole lot of shaking going on! James is extremely talented performer and has the voice, moves and mannerisms down pat! I can honestly say that if your looking to make your party or event really special, you need to hire this amazing performer! James, thank you (Thank you very much!)again for making Guy's retirement so special!

James did not put on an Elvis show, he WAS Elvis!!! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the performance, he was engaging and got everyone involved. Our son even asked if he was lip synching to Elvis or was that really his voice-he's that great!!
I would not hestitate to recommend James or to have him back again. This was a 60th birthday surprise for my Elvis loving sister and it could not have been any better, unless the King himself was here! He started as a younger Elvis and then did a costume change into his Vegas jumpsuit.......amazing!!!

First of all, i would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. James Begley.
He is awesome! Had the audience and the crowd participated well! His performance will surely be an experienced to remember by all our guests, especially the individuals we support with special needs at new visions toronto. He had serenaded mostly all and more than I have requested for! Very accommodating. The event was fantastic because of him! I will surely hire and recommend his service again.......a million thanks again!!!

James was a great hit at my mother's 65th Bday/Retirement party. He was very friendly, professional, has a gorgeous voice and thoroughly entertained the guests. My mother said she will never forget this birthday in all her life! James got guests dancing and had great showmanship. My mother's friends are still talking about how much fun they had weeks after the party! Would highly recommend James for any Elvis fans or if you're looking for a great entertainer for your event!
