  • Elvis Himselvis was wonderful!! Very professional, talented and entertaining. Perfect for our company picnic. Everyone enjoyed watching, listening and talking to him. Very personable! I would totally recommend him and will hire him again if the opportunity arises. -- Stacy G, St Louis, MO, 10/6/2011
  • What a blast we had!! He was so, so good. Excellent!! I booked him about a week before my small party and he came a long way just to perform for it. It was a suprise for my husband, as this year he turns 40. Elvis gave the kids a stuffed animal and gave the girls a scarf. We never even talked about that. What a nice gift for the kids. He was very friendly and did a great job. Stayed for a good amount of time and sang my husband's favorite song 3 times! Would book him again!!!! for sure! Thank you for making this a party we will never ever forget! THANK YOU AGAIN!! Amanda Stevens Point, WI -- Amanda H, Stevens Point, WI, 6/25/2011
  • Everyone at our party just loved the performance. He arrived on time and had everything set up before the guests arrived. He even entertained the children and gave them stuffed bears. He has a great voice and plays the "Elvis" part well. We were very pleased and would definitely hire him again. -- Melissa B, Foristell, MO, 6/12/2011
  • Elvis Himselves was fantastic. He sounds just like the real thing, everyone at our event thought a CD was playing. An amazing performer. -- Denise M, Alsip, IL, 12/4/2010
  • What a wonderful evening Elvis had instore for us, he was fantastic! Everybody just sat and listen, my husband and I danced to our favorite Elvis songs for his 60th b-day. Elvis made the party, everybody remarked what a great party, due to Elvis. I would have him at any event! Thank you again Elvis Joy Laker -- Joy L, Taylorville, IL, 11/27/2010
  • 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. -- Daniel L, Springfield, IL, 11/27/2010
  • 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. -- Lois C, Pittsfield, IL, 9/4/2010
  • He was great. Everybody enjoyed the show. We had young kids along with adults and the show was very family friendly. He had a great voice. Sounded just like Elvis and played our favorite songs. -- Janis M, Saint Louis, MO, 6/19/2010
  • 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! Lisa Medders, Sale Manager for McBride Homes -- Lisa M, Maryville, IL, 4/17/2010
  • 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. Carla Marshall -- Carla M, Ladue, MO, 10/16/2009
  • 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. -- Melissa S, Bloomington, IL, 6/3/2009
  • 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! James and Laura Veverka -- Laura V, Joliet, IL, 10/25/2008
  • 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!! -- Jane F, Lincoln, IL, 8/1/2008
  • 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. -- Becky G, Bloomington, IL, 5/25/2008
  • 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! -- Rewa B, Springfield, IL, 2/14/2008
  • 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!! -- Jessica W, Cape Girardeau, MO, 12/15/2007
  • 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. -- John L, Chicago, IL, 11/17/2007
  • 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 -- Ronald H, Burlington, IA, 8/18/2007
  • Elvis Himselvis has a good strong voice, very much like the real Elvis had. Having performed in public myself, our family and guests really enjoyed his singing and friendly attention given to all of us. I would highly recommend Jeff Durham, and would hire him again for another event. Thank you, Thank you very much Jeff Durham; we'll always remember you. Janis Towers. -- Janis T, St Louis, MO, 12/23/2011
