Description
Wrenn has the VOICE, MOVES, LOOK and essential Elvis ENERGY!! (listen to the SONGS & watch the VIDEOS on his page!).**Wrenn performed at GRACELAND during ELVIS WEEK 2008! He also WON the Images of the King Regional Elvis Tribute Artist contest and had the honor of performing ELVIS WITH THE RICHMOND SYMPHONY in 2007!! **Here's the conductor's feedback on that performance: "I had a blast! Wrenn was fabulous. His energy and attention to historical detail truly contributed to the Symphony's program. The audience was crazy about him, and every time he came on stage, the faces of the orchestra musicians lit up. He was a consummate professional, and joy to work with. How fun to recreate (in a symphonic way) a historic Elvis performance! We're glad Wrenn was part of our 50 Years of Pops celebration."**
Who is Wrenn Mangum? “Passionate” is one word---about music, about entertaining, about Elvis. Captivating crowds in both his solo Rockabilly and Elvis shows throughout the East Coast, Wrenn has been a legend for years.
From humility and humor all the way to romance & Rock & Roll rebellion, Wrenn pays tribute to the world’s greatest entertainer with an incredible voice, energy & charisma that reminds us of why Elvis was so cool to begin with.
Wrenn’s recent accomplishments include the honor of performing an Elvis tribute with the Richmond Symphony in October 2007, winning the prestigious “Images of the King Regional Contest” in November 2007, performed at CPAC during the Presidential Banquet in Washington, DC February 2008 and 2009, and performed an Elvis Tribute at GRACELAND during Elvis Week 2008.

Feedback
- We hired Wrenn to perform at our mother's 70th birthday. He and Natalie were AWESOME! They are the kindest people we have ever met! Viewing Wrenn's performance online was impressive but NOTHING compared to seeing him in person. He is absolutely fabulous and sounds so much like Elvis it's scary!! Elvis truly was in the house! Wrenn plays the guitar really well and has the moves down perfectly. We all had a night we will never forget! If you are looking for an Elvis impersonator Wrenn is your man. We are really grateful to both Natalie and Wrenn for making the surprise for our mom far exceed our expectations! We would definitely hire him again!

- Wrenn does the best Elvis I have ever seen. He and Natalie arrived on time and were set up in 15 minutes. They graciously "hid out in the closet" while waiting for the guests to arrive. His performance blew everyone away and he stuck to the scheduled time. Wrenn stuck around for photo op's and even helped the Guest of Honor cut the birthday cake. I would highly recommend using Wrenn for any event. He is very talented and knows how to play to the crowd.
Thanks so much, Wrenn and Natalie for making my wifes 60th birthday party a smash hit. You're the talk of the town and everyone who wasn't there is feeling sorry they weren't there. -- John R, Williamsburg, VA, 2/21/2009
- Wrenn is so talented I thought for a moment he was lip synching to Elvis. He is energetic and adorable and captures those "early Elvis" qualities; sweetness, tenderness, honesty.
My mom and I had the good fortune to see Elvis in concert three times. We consider ourselves (somewhat) Elvis experts. Wrenn blew us away. The surprise entrance and serenade of "Love Me" was a moment we will never forget. Thank you Wrenn and Natalie. You were so easy to work with and so AMAZINGLY talented. I want to have Wrenn sing next at my birthday! -- Laura Q, Richmond, VA, 4/5/2008
- Wrenn, you put on such a great show...so energetic, entertaining, and fun! Everyone at the party was singing and clapping along, and loved your performance! You chose a great selection of songs and your dance moves really brought the King to life in our living room. Thank you for helping to make my husband's 30th birthday so special. Your performance is something that he'll remember forever! -- Kristina W, Fairfax, VA, 2/9/2008
- For all the people out looking for a performer, Wrenn Mangum is your guy. He was the most incredible performer I had ever seen. He was very kind and generous, I can't expressed what he did for my mom. My sisters had thrown a surprise birthday party for her, she was turning 66 and she's an "ELVIS" fan and being a fan myself I knew what I was looking for and if you know anything about elvis there's a certain sound your looking for and believe me he had it! A great, great sound of the early Elvis 50's and 60's era, so if your looking for an "ELVIS" impersonator for that special someone he's the one to call, and Natalie his manager, she was awsome too, we spoke for the first time and I felt we had known each other forever, couldn't have done it without her help. Thanks again Natalie! As far as calling Wrenn back for another event, I would do it in a minute, I'm going out to see him next month for a show he's doing here in virginia, can't wait! I could go on and on, but not enough space! Wrenn, Thanks again,see ya soon Barbara in Virginia -- Barbara W, Woodbridge, VA, 7/7/2007
- We loved it! What a great performance. Wrenn Mangum was a highlight at a surprise 70th birthday party & was everything we could have hoped for. He was totally accommodating, soooooo polite, and an excellent singer & musician. Everyone was impressed with him & enjoyed the show. Afterwards, people were thanking *me*....thanking me for hiring him! Everyone wanted to know where I found this guy. I would recommend him to any & all who are looking for a fun, energetic, & truly dynamic performer!!! A++++++ :) :) :) -- Donna G, Richmond, VA, 2/24/2007
- Excellent performance from start to finish. Too talented, genuine, and professional to fully describe within this review. If you want the real sound, look, and performance of Elvis, Wrenn will not let you down. I am very pleased that I chose Wrenn to perform at my father's 60th B-day party.
Thanks,
John Heraldo -- John H, Richmond, VA, 10/14/2006
- Living overseas, I couldn't be there for my mom's 50th. My dad set up a get-together and Wrenn, as young Elvis, made a surprise visit to the house, flowers in hand, let my mom know I had sent him, and sang her happy birthday. Although I couldn't be there, I was able to listen to everything on the phone. My mom was excited and said it was her dream come true. She was still giddy about it a week afterwards and she insists it was the real Elvis who sang to her!!! Since I am halfway around the world, I was able to keep in touch with Natalie (the manager) by phone and email and we managed to pull off this event with little time. It was just what I wanted for my mom! -- Stormie A, Centreville, VA, 4/1/2009
