Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 14, 2012•From Burlingame, CA
This is the 2nd time I've booked Rick for my center of frail, elderly and disabled adults. The last time was several years ago and they literally have talked about him ever since! Our group is memory impaired, so this is the highest form of compliment! Rick does the best Elvis our 102 year old celebrant has ever seen-and she's been around! His voice, the costumes, the fancy footwork and highkicks can't be beat. He gives every member of the audience special attention and has an amazing talent for improvisational humor. He quickly senses each individual and chats with them, gives them a hug, a kiss or a funny line that makes them feel special. Rick is the best!!

For our Sons In Retirement dinner party in the Villages, Rick was a real hit. Initially he started off with a meet-and-greet, where he circled the room 3 times (110 people) making sure he talked and acted like Elvis with everyone. It was a lot of fun and he really charmed the ladies. There has never been as much laughter in any of our meetings.
Then Rick sang 10 selected songs, and he was very good. Many people sang with him. This was followed with photos with all guests who wanted it, and he handed out autographed post cards of him.
It's clear to me he really likes people and they felt that very much.
This was a 5/5 performance and we hope to see him again,
Jeff
Awards Night Party•Reviewed on December 10, 2012•From San Francisco, CA
Rick Torres Bay Area's #1 Elvis Impersonator singing Elvis's songs is so good, we thought he was using Elvis records and lip syncing. NO WAY!! Rick is singing and it sounds like the real Elvis is there. The crew & managers of the theater stopped all their work just to watch & listen to Rick's great singing. Everyone loved him. The commments from the audience were so great about Rick's concert like: "...I thought Elvis was back." And "...you don't miss Elvis while Rick is singing and performing." BayAreaDanceWatch has hired Rick Torres before & will hire him again. We recommend him to other businesses & individuals. So should you.
BayAreaDanceWatch will be hiring

Rick is a talented professional with an amazing act. Everyone loved his performance. My only complaint was with the Marilyn impersonator he brought with him. She was not engaged with the crowd and spent most of the evening looking at silent auction items, keeping to herself. She was also very skinny, not at all like the voluptuous sexy sultry Marilyn we all know and love. Otherwise, she was a very sweet girl, just inexperienced.
The Elvis act, though, made it worth the price overall.

I can't praise Rick enough on the OUTSTANDING job he did @ my sisters BDAY bash. I hosted it along w/ 1 other person who fought me for 2 days when I told her that I wanted "Elvis" to entertain @ the party. She was worried it would b "cheesy" or that he might not be very good
Well, I can tell u that days after the party everyone is still talking about what fun it was to have "Elvis" there and how amazingly talented he is! HE SOUNDS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO "THE KING"!! My co-host is admittedly eating crow and said she couldn't have been more wrong.
He was funny & kind enough to learn a song that I had requested & sing it with my nieces. Wish to hire him 4 all my parties!

From the first email inquiry that I sent to Rick, he was prompt, informative & professional. He truly is a great person & a great performer. I admire his talent and his love of music is felt with his presence. My parents were surprised to have him at their wedding anniversary celebration. The guests were delighted to hear him sing and I enjoyed that he moved throughout the crowd to greet the guests. He arrived early and even performed early with my approval. Their portable sound system and pink Caddy are awesome! He took his time taking pictures afterwards. It has been a pleasure working with Rick & Bobbie as well. They are pleasant individuals and Im thankful!

Rick was amazing and added an element to the event that helped to make it special. As a fundraiser cost is always a concern, but Rick was able to renegotiate and help us afford his services which was greatly appreciated.
Rick was on time, flexible with the programming, kind and ready to do whatever he could event day to make it spectacular. Thank you Rick!

Overall the residents enjoyed Rick very much. They were however, disappointed that he did not follow-through with the requests that we had selected via the online prompt that said we could choose the suit he'd wear (by number), color of scarf, scarf wording. He did not wear the suit we had selected,bring the color of scarf we selected and the scarf did not say what we had asked for it to say "Happy Birthday Elvis from Atria."
