Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 15, 2012•From Tracy, CA
Wow! Rick by far exceeded my expectations! All 25 guest at the party loved him! Rick gave us his all....the whole Elvis experience...we were all transported to another time and enjoyed every song and every minute of it. Rick sang, danced and mingled with the crowd...always in character...we couldn't have ask for anything more. The entire family is still talking about him this morning and so are all the guest that were at the party. He was the highlight of our day! Loved him! We are now his number one fan and will be following his career closely. Thank you so much. Linda and Tom Burkett, Mountain House, CA.

E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E JUST LOVED HIM! We were very proud to show him off at our event as he displayed such professionalism to our residents and guests. His costume was clean and neat, He was well groomed (loved the sideburns) and the big plus was having his own set up that was trouble free. OMG, he even drove up in style! Pretty in Pink (Sort of Speak! : ) He's a keeper!
Bachelorette Party•Reviewed on April 29, 2014•From Hayward, CA
Elvis (Rick) was amazing! I could not attend a bachelorette party for a good friend of mine and wanted to send something really special.He did an incredible job!!! Not only did I get an ecstatic call right after he left from the bride to be, but also got follow up multiple calls from all who were there and many more in following days! My favorite was from the bride to be who said " I have just been breaking out in excited giggles, at random times for days now after Elvis arrived! Thank you SO much!" He was SO easy to work with on all aspects of the event!! And everyone was thrilled at his performance!!! I will definitely be using him again! Rick is the best!

How best to describe RICK TORRES Bay Area's #1 Elvis Tribute Artist...OUTSTANDING TALENT,GREAT SINGER,TOP PERFORMER, CHARISMATIC, and HIGHLY ENTERTAINING! Rick ( THE KING ) transported our entire party of over 100 guest back in time to 1973, for a one of a kind concert experience { VEGAS STYLE BABY!}and a special guest appearance by MARILYN MONROE who was absolutley amazing herself. Rick brought my in-laws to tears with a beautiful rendition of LOVE ME TENDER for their anniversary song. My wife said it was the best birthday gift she ever recieved! friends and relatives are still raving about the party! Rick you are" THE KING " thank you, thank you very much!

We call Rick “our Elvis” now because that’s how special he made us feel. From the first email and call, he made everything simple and personal. Even when I had a late change, Rick was willing to do whatever it took to make everything work. My family was surprised and thrilled when Elvis came in and started singing. Some people cried! You know how Rick sounds great on his Website? He sounds even better in person. He has every detail down perfectly: outfit, jewelry, look, expressions, speech, and poses. And he knows how to work a crowd. He’s funny too and keeps everyone entertained. If you’re looking for your own Elvis, you’ve found him. Thank you so much, Rick!

Many thanks from eBay inc. to King Creole Entertainment and Rick Torres for the fantastic Elvis Quickie present to one of our employees. It is a very well designed service with lots to offer. I was very impressed with the portable self contained sound system they used and the advanced technology that went into it. Incredible sound! He Designed it, and I told him he should market it! The performance was so much fun, and the songs he picked for me were very suitable for the occasion. We will definitely use the services again..

Rick performed at our annual Company Appreciation Picnic. I love the fact that he allowed us to determine the length of time to sing and length of time for meet and greet. We ended up wanting him to sing more songs than originally planned and he had no issues at all. We all loved his pink Cadillac, very nice!! Even my 4 year old wanted to watch him and got mad when someone stood in his way. Definitely one of the best entertainers we have had. I would recommend him to all, and if we want Elvis again, I would definitely ask Rick to come back.
Thank you Rick for a great night! Calva Products

What do you give a 75 year old who has it all? A flash from her youth, Elvis! I've seen Rick perform at another birthday party and was so impressed that we sought him out for my mother's 75th birthday. Rick is a true professional from start to finish. He answers phone calls and emails immediately and he has a comprehensive website which makes costume and song choices very easy. Yes, you get to pick the costume he will wear and the songs he will sing. Rick is very good at what he does and it is apparent that he has been doing it for a long time, his performance was realistic and very entertaining. Everyone enjoyed themselves, the pink Cadi was the icing on the cake!

Rick Torres was absolutely great to work with and is a great entertainer.
He was very friendly, cooperative and proactive with all the booking details and even allowed me to make last-minute changes to the song list.
His website contains all the information that you need to make a complete show package... songs, outfits, give-aways, feedback, pictures, and videos.
This guy is very thorough and professional.
Rick knocked the socks off of everyone at my mom's birthday party.
I totally recommend him to anyone and would enjoy hiring him again.
He is truly the Bay-Area's best Elvis entertainer, if not the best in the country! Rick Rocks!

Rick Torres or Elvis was the greatest Impersonator I've ever seen, He was on time, sang great and took pictures with our residents which was very important to our community. his memorable performance will forever be with us, we also plan on hiring him any time we need Elvis to " be in the building".
Thank you again Rick for a great time.
My staff thanks you as well.

My birthday party for an 80 year old began with my theme of music throughout his years. I hired a pianist to play music from the 30s and 40s, then after dinner Elvis sang. I hired a Marilyn Monroe impersonator for the 60s to sing the iconic Happy Birthday. I had written to the White House to send Birthday Greetings and asked Elvis to present it to the birthday boy and thank him for his service to our country. The letter didn't come until 2 hours!!! before Elvis sang. He handed the birthday boy his letter and sang America and Danny Boy. There wasn't a dry eye in the place. Elvis was the best, most accommodating and talented person I could have asked for.

Rick Torres exceeded my expectations on every level!
Rick was truly a class act and was so well prepared for our surprise guests with names, autographed scarves and glasses.
His voice, movements, costume and the way he worked the crowd was the best!
I appreciate his continued contact and update on the event and he was cool with my making some changes even up to the day before our party!
He was wonderful, his assistant was wonderful and of course the pink Cadillac was simply WOW! I will book Rick again ???

Rick is as good as Elivs' get!
I have utilized Rick twice now & will be booking again as they're "asking" for him!
This performance was a surprise for our club and Rick's performance was top notch! I scanned the crowd of 52 faces & there was so much happiness! I received a call the following day and I will end with the message because "this is what it's all about!"
--"Member "X" has been going through a lot - selling her home & moving into assisted living, slowing down, depressed... While driving home she couldn't stop talking about Elvis, smiling, singing his songs and everyone in the car felt like she was visited by Santa!"
Thanks again Rick!

Elvis brought down the house.
He was open to our needs, anxious to accommodate us and willing to help with last minute requests. Having him here was a pleasure, he will be invited back at the earliest opportunity. He made the effort to re-invent himself to please the particular theme of the event.(Hawaiian Elvis)He did it with great style! We thank him! The pink caddy & ukulele were a great touch!
Thank you, Elvis
We look forward to seeing you in the future,

It takes a lot to render my husband speechless but when Rick/Elvis walked into his 60th birthday party my husband's jaw dropped wide open. Later, he told me that Rick looked & sounded exactly like Elvis did when he saw him in Las Vegas in 1972. He just couldn't believe that Elvis was singing in our back yard. The experience exceeded my expectations. Rick is very talented, very professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. He incorporated some personal info into his act to make it special for my husband. Rick puts a lot of love, thought, and energy into his performance. Rick's website is nice but HE'S AMAZING IN PERSON! Thank you,Rick. Thank you very much!
Fundraiser•Reviewed on November 11, 2013•From Concord, CA
Rick Torres did a fantastic job at our event. He is very accommodating to see your needs are fulfilled. He makes lots of suggestions and he allowed us to raffle off a cruise in his pink caddy for a few of our guests as an added fundraiser for our event. He is as nice in person as he is on the phone. Very personable. I would recommend to anyone out there who is looking for the real deal impersonator to hire Rick. He will not let you down. Your guests will all be left with big smiles on your faces. You can't go wrong with Rick Torres as your entertainer. He lives up to his name "#1 Elvis Entertainer of the Year".

Rick is the BEST-definitely added that "WOW" factor to 2 events: a surprise 50th bday for a teacher at a school fundraiser (Mar'10) & at my in-laws' 50th wedding anniversary (Jul'10). Loved how he renewed their wedding vows in Elvis-Vegas style. Everything on the website0 videos, audio clips, Elvis outfits, cool pink Cadillac, picture-taking w/guests was nothing short but first rate. His staff was awesome. We had a great time, his performances were awesome, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed him.
