Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 21, 2007•From Roseville, CA

Johnny Reno's performance at my party was disappointing. His performance was lackluster, and he seemed like he just wanted to get the event over with and leave. He was scheduled to be at our party at 8 p.m., and when I called two weeks prior to confirm his appearance he told me he had scheduled another performance for 6 p.m. at an event 100 miles away, and asked if we could postpone his appearance at our party until 8:30, which we agreed to. I figured he knew his limitations, and that such an ambitious itinerary was not a problem for him. To his credit he did show up on time, but it seemed like perhaps he was exhausted from his 245-mile roundtrip drive (his words)and performance at the other event, which would explain his dull performance at my house. Johnny performed on a raised deck in my small back yard, and for a large portion of his performance his voice could not be heard even though all the guests were within 20 feet. My girlfriend and I (the birthday girls and hostesses of the party) had to get on stage and get involved in the act because it was obvious the crowd was getting bored and impatient with his gig and was throwing a wet blanket on the party, which had been in full swing when he arrived. I have hired lots of performers for singing telegrams before, and they were much more fun and had much more interaction with the crowd than did Johnny. I would hesitate to recommend him to your clients.

Actually, I'm quite shocked at the feedback. I was hired for a singing telegram and I explained that consists of me and a guitar and 2-3 songs. A telegram is for the recipient and not for a crowd of 40-50 or more people which would have required at least minimum sound system with a disc player for the background tracks, an amp/mixer, microphone, and a couple of speakers. The client had requested 3 songs which I performed, and then I did 3 extra songs as they requested once I was there, plus I posed for pictures with several of the guests, and gave the two birthday girls a silk scarf each. A singing telegram takes about 15 minutes and I was there nearly 45. If th

Retirement Party•Reviewed on June 26, 2016•From Elk Grove, CA

He didn't perform the songs I requested. He took it upon himself to make it a comedy show because he said the songs I chose were too slow for the crowd. He got a few laughs out of it and that was ok but my dad was still waiting to hear his songs and was disappointed which left me disappointed as well

Other than Johnny being 30 minutes late to prep before the surprise birthday party, his performance was a success for my group of 30. He was responsive in the pre-event call and emails, entertained all with equal attention and the Elvis scarves and photo he gave were nice mementos!

What a pro! Rolled with the punches for our mass wedding vow renewal of dozens of couples. Funny, entertaining and accomodating. We will certainly work him in to another one of our events.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 21, 2021•From Reno, NV

It was a birthday gift for my Mom’s 80th birthday and she was so happy. She called after and she sounded like a young girl again. My family said she hasn’t smiled that much in some time. He was very good with communication before the event. I was very happy with the whole experience.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on March 26, 2021•From Reno, NV

Great experience with Johnny Reno. Did an amazing job performing at our ceremony, was very accommodating when we had to push back our ceremony a half hour due to being stuck on the other side of Reno. Great performance at our ceremony as well.
