Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 25, 2008•From Alamo, CA
Thought it only right I follow up with you. Your performance last night was without question the hit of the party. Forget about meeting expectations, you, Elvis, far exceeded them. Folks are still talking about it this morning and I know of two that will be calling you. Thanks for all the energy you brought to the group, it really was a fantastic show.Definitely a reason why your the best around.

If you want the BEST!!! OMG!!! Then you should hire Rick the number one Elvis impersonator at King Creole Entertainment. When he walked into the party it like a bomb went off, and the explosion lasted until he left. I stood with my sister who helped me hire him and said, man is that guy hot or what! one word sums it up ELVIS!!!!

My Mother & Fathers 40 year anniversary was full of surprises. The pivoting point of the afternoon was the momentous appearances by Elvis! King Of Rock and Roll! Cant say enough about it. Thank you so much King Creole Entertainment for all you did for us!

You did a great job and sounded great with the Band, The Detours. The gals are still swooning and Your costumes were great. Everyone is still talking about it and so I hope that you will be available again next year. I never start planning until March or April but you will definitely be hearing from me next spring
because I would like to put Elvis on as a regular. Thanks again. Mary Hoopes

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 1, 2011•From Alameda, CA
Overall, Rick Torres was very professional, I just had a few small issues. First, the sound system...It reminded me of an "AM radio," kind of sound. Very Karaoke. Second, the gig was suppose to start at 7:00. Our cooks were unable to get the food out on time, so we had to ask Mr. Torres to start at 7:20. He did, but also stopped playing at 7:45. I paid for a 45 minute show, not a 25 minute show. I was mingling with guest and didn't really notice until my DJ came up to me and told me he was just playing a 25 minute set. I then asked his assistant, if she could have him play the full 45 minute set. They complied and the show continued for the remainder.
:
Tina hired me for 45 minute appearance 6 songs performed. Not 45 minute shiow. I am very specific how this works. I allow my clients to pick the songs they want performed which she did.Do six songs last 45 minutes? Rarely people ask me that,but if there is a misunderstanding I explain 25 minute show and 15 minute greet with pictures.I do indicated that in emails and contracts.I go over and above for my clients as I did for Tina. Hundreds of 5 star testimonials praising my services. Tina was a super cool lady. Very impressive party!Fun for all.It was a pleasure to meet her. I am sorry this misunderstanding compelled her to send in a less than completely happy review.

"Elvis" was a super hit at our party. His performance was more entertaining than I ever expected. I will find ways to have him return for other events in my family. His blue outfit was awesome.
Thanks for making our party something people will never forget !

Our office retirement party was great! Everyone had a great time and made it a very special day for our great Elvis fan Connie Garcia! She was so shocked and surprised and really enjoyed the entertainer D.J. Rick Torres. His act was fun and very life like. He is very professional and made if fun for everyone. We all wish we had more time with him. Especially the ladies in the office. Thank you again Rick for the great moment you gave us. It will be one to remember for all.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 29, 2008•From Union City, CA
FANTASTIC!!!!!! Everyone especially Peggy the birthday girl was completely entertained with the excellent Elvis performer with King Creole Entertainment. Back in March, he was hired to do a 80 year birthday party for Helen, the mother of my friend Barbara Valencia up in Castro Valley in the first time I saw him, and he was just amazing! I hired a Elvis impersonator from Green Onion singing telegrams once and he was not even half as good as King Creole! I just knew needed find a reason to use him again, and I found one! ! Just Love that good looking Elvis Guy Man!

We had booked King Creole for two events. One in san Francisco and one the next evening in San Jose for a friend who was having a bachelorette party. Other than myself and Jackie who had to seen him in action the past evening. Knew anything. They went completely wild over him!

Gig Masters, King Creole Entertainment, and especially Elvis / Rick OMG thank you so much! The Elvis appearance was a BIG hit! I am quite sure Jackie will be talking about this for years to come. As you could probably tell she has discriminating Elvis taste, but she thought you were outstanding and was ESPECIALLY impressed when you whipped out the song, If I Can Dream....she talked about that all night! Everything worked out perfectly! It was hard keeping the secret under wraps! Your services were more than expected and what was needed to start off her 40's with a bang!!! I will definitely call you again , and Im sure many of my friends will to for future events!! Ch

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 18, 2008•From Union City, CA
My Mother has seen Elvis 5 times in person. Her and her best friend would go and see him together. I got this idea for her sweet 60 Birthday. I found Rick the Elvis impersonator with King Creole Entertainment, and was extremely impressed with all the Kind words left by his past clients. I will never forget the look on my mothers face. She just love him and thought his recreation of Elvis was just perfect! The entire restaurant was going wild. At least 10 of the customers followed him outside the restaurant just to take a picture with him and asked him to sing a few bars of their favorite song. Which he gladly did. They looked at him like he was Elvis Himself.

Our Elvis encounter was amazing! We hired DJ Rick for our mom's 70th birthday party and couldn't be more impressed. He personally called me to set up the whole show and made sure everything was perfect. He was professional, fun and made a lasting impression. He was so very personable and stayed for dozens of pictures with our family after the show. I'm sure everyone at our party will be talking about him for years to come. My mom said this was the best birthday party she ever had, and Elvis had so much to do with it. Thank you, Elvis!

Rick was amazing! He has an uncanny ability to make people feel special and like he's singing just for them. We had about 200 ladies ranging in age from 18-90 at our community event and heard nothing but positive feedback. We honestly can't wait to have him back again. Elvis truly was in the house! I've already had about 20 people ask me where we found him...said they have seen many Elvis performers and that Rick was way better than any they had seen before. THANKS RICK...and Bobbi too...you guys really MADE THE EVENT! I can't thank you enough! Shannon

My girlfriends special day was highlighted by Rick's performance. His professionalism, punctuality and dedication to The King proved to be the icing on the cake of a most memorable event. He sang from the heart and his songs were enjoyed by everyone in attendance. Thank you Rick,we really appreciated the real Elvis in you. Craig and Natty.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 26, 2008•From Santa Clara, CA
A true performer, and an excellent singer! My girlfriend loves Elvis, and I just thought this would be a funny thing to do. OMG! It was like Elvis came to life and walked into the park to perform for us! Other parties in the park that day were cheering as he performed, and I stood just in awe as the tears welled up in my Girlfriends eyes. She was just thrilled and in disbelief. This Elvis quickie is a incredible service, and I strongly recommend if you are looking to blow someone away to hire Rick/Elvis with King Creole Entertainment!!

Rick is Nothing short of completely amazing. Seeing is believing, and he better in person. I have seen a few Elvis impersonators locally and in Vegas. He is the by far the best I have seen. Cant wait to book him for another event!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 12, 2008•From Santa Clara, CA
This week I have been going crazy trying to finish up the details for my Jimmies 50 year birthday. King Creole was so helpful with all the services they provided. They D.J.ed ,emceed , helped with the schedule, and oh my god what an incredible Elvis performance. The bar that you have to walk through to get to our room was full of people. Most came to the door asking to watch the performance. We thought the voice was actually Elvis voice and he was lip-syncing, he would talk in the middle of the song, and thats when we realized it was actually him singing. He also is very sexy when he does his cool Elvis moves, also easy on the eyes. If you want to experience the next best thing next to Elvis himself you need to call Rick/ Elvis at King Creole.

Community Event•Reviewed on April 5, 2008•From San Francisco, CA
WOW, What can I say? Elvis LIVES! The Show, The Songs, The Effects all combined to make the experience of Elvis come Alive on stage to the delight of all in the audience! Young and Old alike were Rockin' to the music of Rick Torres as Elvis Presley! On behalf of the Viva Las Vegas Benefit Show let me say that I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Mr. Torres to anyone looking to put on a truly memorable show with a TOP NOTCH performer and crew! So many people commented on the wonderful evening that we will definately be booking another show soon! Viva Las Vegas, Baby!

Community Event•Reviewed on April 4, 2008•From San Jose, CA
The most impressive moment of all the acts we had in the evening was when Rick The Elvis Impersonator walked into the spotlight to perform a ½ hour tribute to the King. We have 50s parties at our Church every year and we always hire an Elvis impersonator. He is without a doubt the best we have ever had. What a amazing voice and his costume and moves were equally amazing. We already booked him for next year to make sure he was available.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 30, 2008•From San Jose, CA
Elvis/Rick was simply wonderful, from the moment he responded to our initial request to the time he drove away in the white Thunderbird. We were extremely pleased with the courtesy, convenience, and attention to detail during the setting up of the event. His performance was spot-on--very Elvis-like, funny, clever, and best of all, entertaining for a crowd that ranged from the 75-year-old birthday guest of honor to his four-year-old granddaughter. Everyone loved him! Keep up the good work bringing smiles, laughter, and good times to all sorts of folks. We can't recommend him highly enough.
