He is very comfortable with people & easily makes everyone in the audience feel important.

Ralph is in demand because he has the complete package. When Ralph's schedule allows he performs benefits for MD Anderson hospital ( cancer patients ). He also, uses his music to bring joy to hurting people( working in ministry at Lakewood church when his schedule allows). Ralph's passion is music, "i am a spiritual guy ( and i think Elvis was too). I feel that God uses people as vessels to bless others around the world. I receive God's blessings whenever i watch an Elvis movie or listen to his songs. The blessings are laughter and joy. So you see, Elvis had a ministry and it changed my life." Those closest to Elvis say the following about Ralph: 1) Dean Scott (legends from Las Vegas & The Sands in Houston)- 'One of the best Elvis impersonators in the world, i've ever seen. I'm a big fan of Ralph's. I would like to build an entire show around him. I especially love Ralph's versatility, that's hard to find.' 2) Bernard Lansky..(owner of Lansky's where Elvis purchased his clothes in the 1950's).... 'you have the handsome Elvis look, a great Elvis voice, the complete packge. I'm really impressed.' 3) Charlie Hodge..(Elvis's right hand man on stage & toured with Elvis in the 1970's) who said to Ralph 'you have an awesome Elvis look & voice and i'm impressed, keep up the great work'. 4) John Stuart...(legends in concert Las Vegas)- 'I saw your performance in Memphis and i loved it. I especially liked the G.I. Blues. It was great. You have a great look.' 5) Leonard Hood...( Elvis's cousin) ' You are great, you have the looks, the voice and the moves.' 6) Ronny mcdowell...( country western recording artist known as 'The Voice of Elvis') 'Ralph it was an honor and a pleasure working with you.

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
We hired Houston Elvis for a wedding reception at the Scared Spur Ranch. Ralph is the BEST hands down. This man will blow you away! He is very personable, professional, and extremely talented. I could not find one thing wrong with him even if I tried. He sounds and looks the part. I asked him to sing a song halfway through the performance and I really thought I was talking to Elvis, it was very cool! He does take on a whole other being. His videos do not to this man's beautiful voice, face and persona justice. We kept him for 3 hours. He went from rinestones, Army, and Leather Elvis for us and not a single person, mostly 20-30 year old, was not enjoying it. Thank You

Ralph Elizondo is the consummate professional. He arrived early to set-up for his performance. His costumes were elegant and varied. His performance was right on target and if we didn’t know better we would have thought the real “Elvis” had just performed for our party. In addition, Ralph’s love for Elvis’ music and his knowledge of the “King” was exceptional. The greatest compliment that I can pay Ralph is that he has a heart for people and uses his talent to minister to people every where. My Mother was thrilled that Ralph made her birthday extra special and one to remember.

The fans went wild when he was on stage and when he walked through
the audience. He was a delight to work with. We highly reccomend
Houston's Number 1 Elvis to all our clients. Bill Cody Party Time Productions Plano, Texas 75074 214-340-8000 ext 25

We were very impressed. Everyone from the kids, to the parents had thier jaws dropped to the floor. The boys were in a state of awe at first. Speechless, actually then they came out of their state of shock and danced, sang and had a great time. He really put everyone at ease and got the crowd going. Ralph was fantastic. He even did a few numbers and honored my dad and his service to our counrty. Ralph had several of the adults up and dancing and had everyone clapping. One of our guests was just blown away by the fact that "Elvis" was really in the building. We will definately hire Ralph again in the future. We had the times of our lives and we will remember his performance and overall willingness to make our son's birhday and our family celebration of life after cancer a wonderful, wonderful experience!

Ralph Elizondo was much more marvelous than the 1-5 rating scale. He is double the 5. He is so personable, so interactive with guests and so much in character with "Elvis" that one would think it really wash him. We all loved Ralph, himself, and loved his talent. The Elvis characterization from style, wardrobe, music, voice, movements, expressions, was very overwhelmingly classic, true, special and appreciated. His very personal touch was Ralph and so very kind, personable and showed a true heart for people. He deserves a 10 rating.

Not only did Ralph Elizondo bring the house down, he closed it down also. Mr. Elizondo was good enought to extend his playing time and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Everyone - the invited, the non-invited restaurant customers, the restaurant staff - had a great time. We will definitely use him at least once a year.

Ralph Elizondo was Awesome and very professional. We as a group at MedCare wanted to give my boss a suprise by having an Elvis impersonator come and perform for her birthday. All of us had a great
time and Mr. Elizondo was very professional and has an excellent voice. Thanks for the great performance.

Ralph was just as pleasant and accommodating as he was when I initially contacted him. He made himself available to hear a lot of the details leading up to our annual employee recognition event. He did everything that he committed to doing with such enthusiasm! He and his wife Robin reviewed our special request and made our function a HUGE Success! Immediately following our event he was asked to perform for our corporate event a week later where the crowd is expected to be over 300 +. He is truly talented and did an outstanding job customizing his performance around our theme while staying focused on the audience and engaging them in his performance. I received NUMEROUS compliments about that event being the “BEST EVER”…I’m not sure how I will top this event next year!

Ralph put on a terrific performance. Prior to our wedding day, Ralph and Robin were always in contact with us and made us feel very comfortable with how the day was going to unfold. He was extremely professional and his costumes were unbelievable. He truly made my new bride feel special during a few of his songs. Ralph was also very accommodating with our guests as he sang to the crowd and stayed for pictures after his performances.
We would have no reservations in recommending Ralph for your special event. He is truly an Elvis legend himself.

Ralph and Robin were so good to work with all weekend. They are so professional, yet know their way aroung the stage and sound folks and know when to go forward or back up. They stayed in constant communication with me. I never worried that they would not show. Ralph's performance was great and well recieved by our audience. He signed autographs back stage with a smile on his face. I would highly recommend them for any event.
