Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 29, 2010•From Springfield, IL
Everyone loved the performance. It was a small birthday party and Elvis did a great job catering to the setting. He was friendly and personable and we're very glad to have found him. Though he came prepared with a set list, he was very accommodating to requests. Highly recommended.

I cannot speak for the full body of the class of "60", but I believe everyone was happy with the results. He (Elvis) showed up ahead of time and set up for his performance at 8. He did his hour gig and offered to do more. He was very accomodating and entertaining. I really wished I could have talked the committee into the full band too, as I have heard them and they are a fantastic group.

They were a Hugh hit for our event. We had home owners hang out the whole time they played.Everyone loved them and Elvis sounded awesome! He has one of the best Elvis voices I have heard. We were very a happy with fees we paid and were well worth the money! Hope to hire them in the future for more events. Our President of the company heard them and said we have the first McElivs of the company!! HIRE THEM FOR SURE!

This was a last-minute booking. Rick Dunham was very accommodating, and really helped to make the party. He was very good at mixing with the crowd and has a beautiful voice. This was a 50th reunion, so it was a tough audience, given that many had already become real "fuddy-duddies". Generally, everyone had favorable comments. I would certainly recommend Rick without hesitation.

We Hired Elvis Himselvis for a co-worker. We asked him to come at 8:30a.m and stay briefly during our morning work meeting. We had a great deal of fun and he exceeded our expectations.

We hired on Elvis Himselvis for our wedding reception. Not only did he arrive early, he hung out and mingled with the party guests much to thier delight. My husband and I LOVE Elvis and thoroughly enjoyed Ricks performance. The guests all loved him and still talk about him. He was friendly and personable. He took pictures with people, and gave out scarves to the ladies he serenaded. Which was a delight to see. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!! Thanks so much Rick for adding such a personalized, unique twist to our reception!

Elvis Himselvis was awesome! Not only did he liven up the party, but he was very professional and a nice guy to deal with. We would definitely book him again and, of course, recommend him to our friends. Great job!!

He was AWESOME. Everyone of all age groups just loved his performance. He visited with people, had photos taken, and included the audience in songs. I had nothing but comments from family and friends about him. He was a surprise guest for my son on leave from Iraq (great elvis fan), to celebrate his birthday. Rick made the day special, made alot of good memories for everyone here. He was great and I would recommend him to everyone.

Elvis was fantastic! He was a hit! The person receiving the telegram as well as the entire crowd at Sebastian's were very impressed and enjoyed his performances immensely. Considering it is a fine dining restaurant, I would say he was incredibly professional and personable. Well done!

Elvis Himselvis was a great asset to our party and was a lot of fun to talk to as well. He kept his appointment despite icy weather, was perfectly on time, was accomodating, and played for as long as we wanted. He was very entertaining (we didn't hire the band - just Elvis), and had some good crowd-interaction. He posed for lots of pictures and stayed to chat with people. Thanks, Elvis,for helping make my Dad's birthday a success!!

This guy is the real deal - great voice, great look, great stage presence. He went out of his way to accomodate us by coming to Chicago, practiced some tough lyrics to a special song we requested, and performed like a true professional. He also worked with our dj to coordinate intro and exit music, provided gifts for the crowd, and gave us a CD and a some shirts too. A true crowd pleaser.

The performance was awesome. What a voice. You could close your eyes, and he sounded just like Elvis. Very personable and my customers loved it. They are still talking about it today, and it was a week ago he performed. I am planning on a similar event, and will definitley be calling Elvis Himselvis again.

He was there early. Enjoyed his performance. I think the crowd enjoyed the variety of entertainment we provided and so Elvis was a good choice.
He was generous and donated 2 t-shirts and 2 cd's for our raffle drawing.
I saw him @ Bluffs, IL in August...and I know he had to perform under some hot weather conditions there and at other places this summer and that cut down on his audiences.
I think we had a good crowd and even though it was humid...there was a breeze and he was able to interact with our larger audience.

My wife,who is a huge elvis fan and who the birthday party was held for,myself, and the rest of the party guests,totaly enjoyed the performance given by Rick Dunham( Elvis Himselvis).We were all amazed how Elvis Himselvis had all the moves down of Elvis. He entertained us the way we felt the original King himself would have done. We were truly impressed and amazed how Elvis Himselvis captured the true voice of the King himself.It has been 4 weeks since the party and people are still talking about the performance given by Elvis Himselvis. He was an absolute hit and a class act. He comes highly recommended. Thanks again. Ronald Hummer

The crowd really enjoyed the show. The staff couldn't have been more pleased by how nice Mr. Dunham was to work with. He took into account what type of an even we were planning, and charged us accordingly. He also made sure to bring along a little something for the children, which truely made it a show for all age groups.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 7, 2007•From Springfield, IL
I was very disappointed by his performance. I had a "singing telegram" for him to sing for a 60th birthday party to my boss. It appeared that he hadn't even looked at the song prior to showing up; apparently he didnt have his glasses with him, so he stumbled through the words; didn't sing it correctly to the tune that the song went to;, he stayed about 5 minutes and then rushed off to another gig; he did an absolutely TERRIBLE job! His performance just was not worth the money I paid and like I said, I was totally disappointed, and will not recommend him to anybody! Thank you. Christine Phelps
:
I have never had a negative response to any of my performances in 22 years...I had worked on the song and I thought well, I even sang it for several musicians and they thought it was fine..but I was not told that it would be in the dark...there was twilight lighting outside...I should have made them go inside on hindsight.but there were over 100 people..my Elvis glasses are prescription, but it was too dark...I did rush off, we had talked about that, I was not aware that I was suppose to stay..after the song....
