Feedback
- This man is the consumate professional - easy to work with, punctual, courteous, and his performance fun and so entertaining. He is a really good singer in his own right and we loved the costume and true to Elvis mannerisms. Johnny Reno has got it going on! -- Chris H, West Sacramento, CA, 11/6/2011
- ELVIS is in the building!! Wow, what a great time we all had!! He truly won the hearts of everyone at this party! My mom had a surprise 80th birthday party and when "Elvis" arrived to perform for her, she was without a doubt taken by Surprise!! She loved every minute of it and got a kick out of his performance because he really looked like and moved like "Elvis". His song choices were perfect for the party and the giving away of his scarfs was a great touch for the select few who received them. Overall, I would hire him (Johnny Reno)again in a heart beat!! He was very nice and had a great since of humor.
Sincerely,
Kathleen -- Kathleen R, Roseville, CA, 8/22/2010
- I would recommend him to anyone that wants to having the feeling that ELVIS IS STILL ALIVE AND STILL IN THE BUILDING!!!! We had him for a family reunion and everyone just went crazy over his performance no matter whether young or old. He is awesome..........thank you so much Johnny Reno!!!!!!!! AAAAA+++++ -- Alicia V, Reno, NV, 7/11/2010
- Johnny Reno Put the WOW in our Party!
His show was outstanding and so many people complimented his performance. This was a Family Party and every person from adults to kids had such a great time. He had a group of 10-15 year old girls on the side lines dancing and enjoying the music, while the adults partcipated with him. Johnny, himself, was great to work with, so accomodating, patient and helpful. His voice was great - his moves were even more fun! We would HIGHLY recommend him to others - if you want to add really fun pizazz to any party! Thanks to ELVIS/Johnny! The King Lives in Johnny! -- Laura W, Roseville, CA, 5/7/2010
- Our Johnny Reno officiated wedding event was fan-freakin-tastic! He was a true professional in every way -- prompt, prepared, patient, and polite. He was very adaptable to the problems and delays that often result from the lack of a rehearsal. The couple and guests were pleased that he was so personable. We were impressed with his vows and how he was able to work in the wedding couple's song choices. His entrance and exit were awesome and his moves and singing were spot-on Elvis! Thanks so much for treating 100+ fans to such an amazing event! -- Brandie M, Reno, NV, 8/30/2009
- What a fantastic showman!! Arrived on time, was extremely accommodating and even rearranged his usual routine to sing a special song for our birthday girl, a lady with special needs. The whole family enjoyed his tribute to a rock and roll icon and he did indeed do it justice. Rock on Johnny Reno, you're an honor to the legend!! -- Keith Y, Elk Grove, CA, 5/10/2009
- WOW! What a Talent! What a show! My husband was completely surprised and the crowd was in total awe! He thoroughly won them over with his singing, costumes and Elvis moves. I didn't know that much about Elvis, and he helped me make decisions about song choice, costume choice, everything. He was so helpful, so easy to work with, just a very nice, down to earth kind of guy. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!!! Thank you for making my husband's 40th a HUGE SUCCESS!!! Michelle Sacramento, CA -- Michelle G, Sacramento, CA, 8/30/2008
- We have hired many singing telegrams in the last forty years. We have NEVER been as happy as we were with his performance for my wife. (Tony)
I was totally impressed with his professionalism and his performance to me. All my coworkers that were there were absolutely surprised with the whole show, and asked for his information so they could use him for their parties. (Pennie)
I would not hesitate to use him again or advertise him and his performance. (Tony)
Thank you for making our anniversary memorable.
-- Tony M, Elk Grove, CA, 5/15/2009
- Johnny Reno was amazing.When my DJ wasn't able to be there he stepped right in and gave me a great price to do the entire evening.I had wanted an Elvis wedding theme and he made my wedding a dream come true.Thanks! -- Marsha M, Reno, NV, 5/15/2010
- I hired Johnny Reno to surprise my brother-in-law Fernando on his 70th birthday celebration. Wow! What a fantastic performance! Johnny was looking very good, he was great with the crowd and made Fernando’s 70th birthday party a memory we will never forget. I would recommend Johnny Reno to anyone.
Johnny thanks for being the best part of Fernando 70th birthday celebration.

-- Gloria Or Randy A, San Jose 95148, CA, 5/2/2009
- Our only issue was he thought the start time was 7:30 p.m. but it was 7:00 p.m. In his defense, in my first communication with Johnny Reno, I did request 7:30 but later changed it to 7:00.
We were extrememly pleased with his singing ability. We chose The Wonder of You as one of songs, and frankly I was nervous. That song requires quite a voice to pull it off. He did it magnificently!
Our venue was small and intimate. Johnny interacted personably with our guests and endeared himself to all. -- Sherry D, Sacramento, CA, 11/13/2011
- Oh my God! Johnny was the bomb! He made the party a huge hit! I would highly recommend him to anyone. Very talented, accomodating friendly, personable and professional. We will use him again! -- Wendy M, Folsom, CA, 11/24/2006
- He was absolutely amazing! I hired Johnny Reno for my mother's birthday party. She was extremely impressed and her along with all the guests found him to be quite entertaining. My mom's words "that was the best birthday ever"! If I had another party to plan and needed entertainment along these lines-He would surely be my first choice. One more thing- the women found him very attractive, which is always a plus. -- Jeanelle B, Antelope, CA, 9/8/2007
- Very friendly, great entertainer & funny too! Everyone had a blast. -- Lisa L, Stockton, CA, 8/19/2011
- The show that Johnny Reno put on for my mom's 70th birthday party was so much FUN! Everyone at the party enjoyed the entertainment and professional show! If you know an Elvis fan, I would definitely recommend hiring Johnny Reno for their next celebration! -- Bernie B, Rocklin, CA, 5/28/2011
- Johnny Reno was just what I expected. I feel that Mr. Reno went above and beyond because James the groom drives a truck all over the country unable to contact Mr. Reno on his own. James would call me and ask me to have Mr. Reno contact him. Mr. Reno would responded immidately every time. I appriciate his perfesonalism.
I received positive comments from many of the guests.
I would recommed Johnny Reno to everyone. -- Ada K, Oroville, CA, 9/1/2007
- Wonderful proformance of the King of Rock n Roll. Everyone had a great time and many said it was the best party they have ever been to. They think Elvis with Johnny Reno as Elvis was excellant. I had to take pictures all the girls and Elvis. I would recommend Johnny Reno as Elvis for any party. We all had a great time. -- George M, Sparks, NV, 7/29/2006
- JOHNNY RENO GOT THERE EARLY TO SET UP EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO ME, HE WAS GREAT UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES WE HAD TO REVISE THE ENTIRE SHOW DUE TO HOTEL REGUALTIONS, BUT JOHNNY DID GREAT, VERY NICE,UNDERSTANDING AND MOSTLY VERY PROFESSIONAL, HE WAS ELVIS ALL THE WAY, VERY GREAT SHOW. THANK YOU VERY MUCH JIMMY E CHAVEZ CALIF. -- Jimmy C, Las Vegas, NV, 8/18/2006
- Johnny Reno was hired for a suprise appearance to my sisters wedding dinner. It was a HUGE hit! No one expected it yet everyone was entertained! Not only did we have a nice dinner but Johnny Reno turned it into a memeorable reception allowing us to let loose with dancing and singing along! I would deffinately reccomend Johnny to anyone who is looking for some entertainment and ELVIS! Everyone enjoyed the performance.
Also, Johnny was extremely accomidating with all of my requests! Thank You so much! -- Shereen S, Tahoe City, CA, 7/28/2006
- Thanks Johnny,
Mom was in Love, said it was a great surprise and you were very sexy.
Would hire again!!! My guest were running late and Johnny was very nice to wait until they all arrived. Thanks Again. -- Joy S, Ceres, CA, 8/9/2008
- Johnny did a FABULOUS job as Elvis for my Mother's 70th Birthday Party! She gravitated back to her high school/college years fan excitement. I haven't seen her smile that much in years. He was great to work with in coordinating the song list and logistics at the venue. I would definately use Johnny again and have recommended him to friends. Thanks Johnny for making her birthday so special! -- Lisa P, Roseville, CA, 4/18/2009
- Johnny was great and made our holiday party extra fun. People got into it, danced and sang along. He really engaged the audience and stayed past his scheduled time to take photos with our guests. He even lent the use of his microphone to another impromptu performer. The DJ (who was to share equiptment) was 90 minutes late and Johnny was very cool about the whole thing. He's a really genuine guy and was a pleasure to work with. We would definitely recommend him! -- Adam S, Sausalito, CA, 12/13/2009
- I booked Johnny Reno for my wife’s 21st Birthday. I was a total surprise to her when she saw him come in. The entire restaurant including the staff apparently enjoyed the whole thing as well. I would definitely recommend him for a big get together or special occasion. A++ -- Enzzo F, Roseville, CA, 7/29/2008
- Oh, he was GREAT! The gals loved him... I don't think he really knew what he was getting himself into but he was very entertaining and fun. :) -- Justina G, Sacramento, CA, 12/5/2009
- Johnny was very accomodating; he took the time to come to North Ridge and go over with our committee where he would set up his equipment, the program for the evening, the timing, the lighting (he volunteered to bring his own), and to ask if there was anything special we wanted.
The party was a little slow to warm up to the entertainment because there were so many other activities going on, but once the ladies got involved - it was a ball. We were all dancing, singing and flirting with Elvis and were totally entertained.
We were very pleased and would have Elvis at our party again!!
Too bad he had to leave the building. -- Becky B, Fair Oaks, CA, 6/20/2007
- The gig required a great deal of flexibility. This was a fundraiser in which some of the fundraising activities had to be incorporated into Johnny's show. In addition, it was the first time we had an entertainer at this event for several years. Johnny's ability to adjust to the situation and still come across like Elvis would have made Johnny Reno the King of the event. He performed very well and mingled well with the crowd. We were extremely happy that we were able to get him, and even happier with how it turned out. Thank you very much! -- Paul W, Carmichael, CA, 10/17/2009
- He was professional, on time and enjoyed by all in attendance.
Thank you. -- Sharon R, Stateline, NV, 10/16/2011
- Johnny Reno was very well received by everyone at our holiday party and he was playful and energetic and really added a lot to our event. -- Ann S, Daly City, CA, 12/9/2011
- He was 35 minutes late, took over 30 minutes to set up and seemed dissatisfied with the attention he was getting. While the "cheesy ness" of his performance was fun, he seemed bored and did not really sound like "Elvis". -- Deborah D, South Lake Tahoe, CA, 1/14/2012
