Celebration•Reviewed on April 28, 2009•From Las Vegas, NV
Quite simply, the best decision I could have made was hiring Charlie Franks for my "event". Charlie communicated with me often prior to the event, showed up extra early and was terrific with my friends. I couldn't have asked for more, and I recommend him to anyone without hesitation.
I will definitely be booking him again
Anniversary Party•Reviewed on March 29, 2008•From Phoenix, AZ
Charlie performed two 20 minute sets and a 20 minute wedding ceremony at our 30th Wedding Anniversary Party. When booking him I had second thoughts given a $1000 quote for a 1 hour performance; 5 minutes into the first set I leaned over to my wife and told her he was worth booking at twice the rate. She agreed. A band member following Charlie told me he'd been in the music business for several decades, had seen many Elvis impersonators, and none captured both the persona AND voice as well as Charlie. The wedding ceremony was both touching and filled with comic relief. I'm so glad we booked Charlie Franks. We will forever treasure our video of his performance.

OUTSTANDING! THRILLING! PROFESSIONAL! We hired Charlie Franks for a Corporate Customer Consumer show on August 30th. Charlie was absolutely fantastic - in fact, he made the show for us. He stayed longer than we expected, mingled with our customers and sang some great Elvis songs that brought goose bumps to our audience - literally. Our customers have written and thanked us for having Charlie perform. I honestly don't think you can find a better ELVIS than Charlie. If we could give him and has staff a 10 for perfect, we would definitely do that. Did I mention he DID 3 costume changes? Very professional. THANKS, CHARLIE...YOU BROUGHT BACK GREAT MEMORIES FOR US
Community Event•Reviewed on August 24, 2007•From Phoenix, AZ
Charlie Franks touched each and everyone that attended the "1950's Day w/ Elvis" - We are an assisted living community serving Alzheimers /Dementai residents. The way that he inteacted within the audience and dealt with ease, the needs of our residents was amazing. We had him last year and we were so impressed. This year he did not let us down, he came with the same style and charisma as always. We will sure book Charlie Franks again and again! Charlie , thanks for making a special day for our residents at Huger Mercy Living Center.

I wasn't sure what to expect when requesting an Elvis impersonator, however after he arrived at the location and the show began I was very impressed with his performance. It turned out to be alot more fun than I could have imagined. Everyone, including unexpecting customers, in the bank were impressed and seemed to enjoy the performance. The Elvis fan that I hired Charlie to surprise was equally impressed and having seen Elvis Presley 5 times in person, really appreciated the fact that Charlie is out working so hard to keep his memory alive. Thanks Charlie for your dedication.
Long Live The King!!

Charlie was a delight to contract with. His email personal attention to the specific needs of our event were handle with care and an awareness of servicing our request to the fullest. I recommend his sound system to have a greater capacity for volume in the type of elongated room we had at the location of our event but his staff were all very personable and friendly. He responded to our CEO and all the key people with the attention we wanted. Everyone tells me they really enjoyed the time to laugh, sing along and the great delivery of Charlie!

Charlie was sensational. Not only was he one of the best Elvis impersonators I've ever seen (& I'm from Memphis), but he's also just a super guy. He really knew how to get the crowd going. So many people who attended called or emailed me about how much they enjoyed him.
We will definitely do another party & have him back. Jan & Dan Dooley
