The King would be proud !!
From the moment the band started with the entrance theme of 2001..A Space Odysy, there was tangible excitement in the air! When Tom made his entrance you truly thought Elvis was in the building ! He looks and sounds like the real thing. He walks, talks, looks and sings like Elvis. His mannerisms are Elvis. He is as much of a gentleman as Elvis was. He made me (it was my 50th birthday party) feel like I was a queen! He sang to me on bended knee, several times, and even brought me up on stage to sing Happy Birthday with the whole audience.His band was great, and very professional. They talked with us when they were setting up, and you could tell they enjoy what they do and take it and working with Tom very seriously. I can't say enough....Tom Bartlett is the King reincarnate ! Through him generations that never lived in the Elvis years, will get to experience the phenomenom of Elvis Presley. If you want the best.....ask for Tom Bartlett. You will not be disappointed. After the show he was so gracious to pose for pictures, and believe me, that crowd took alot of pictures....and although he was hot and tired, that Elvis smile never faded.
Tom's show is an homage to Elvis... Tom takes great care to emulate Elvis in a manner that is respectful to his memory, and right on with the talent. I know this is a long review... but if you have taken the time to read it, and you hire Tom Bartlett, you will never regret it !

I viewed Tom's performance both as a musician and an event planner. He won big in both catagories. On time, professional, visually pleasing show, and he does a GREAT job as Elvis. Also, Tom's band was made up of good solid pros. They were on site very early, prepared and extremely easy to work with. Tom Barlett is a winner---don't hesitate to use him.

I’m very pleased to feedback Tom Bartlett’s tribute to Elvis. Having seen “E” in person, I literally did a double-take when I first saw Tom’s video. I asked Tom to perform at a special family gathering--he was wonderful. His primary concern was our happiness. He respects Elvis’ image with clear voice, choice of outfit, fine performance, & positive image. He has Elvis’ sound but not over-the-top. His performance is fun & fresh. After, he graciously posed for photos—again, with friendliness, humor, & presence we knew in Elvis. Everyone so enjoyed meeting Tom; we wholeheartedly recommend him; & we look forward to his performance again. Thank you Tom--100% TCB! AJGIII,VA

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I knew where to start. I have so many wonderful things to say about Tom and so many memories.
Let me begin by saying my brother was an entertainer (Harry Nilsson)
and I was very very fortunate to meet many of his friends in the entertainment field. I was even a part of his premier movie in Atlanta (Son of Dracula) and was with Ringo for two days. Saying that I feel I am so lucky now to have met another great entertainer Tom Bartlett.
I have seen many Elvis impersonators over the years and must say that
Tom Bartlett was by far the best. He went above and beyond what I asked for and is still the talk of the town. We had 150 guest at my 60th. Birthday Party and "Everybodys Talking" (that just happened to be one of my brothers songs).
I would be very honored to have him back and I guarantee the next party I have he will be my first choice. You are welcome to call me concerning my experience with Tom Bartlett (aka Elvis).
I just can't say enought about him and I don't want to use up all your space.
He is wonderful, charming, entertaining and so very very talented.
What a Star!
Thank you for letting me share my experience with you.
Sincerely,
Barbara Nilsson Sapp

We had a very small birthday party with only about 15 people and Tom was great. He interacted well with us and put on a show for us just as though there were a hundred people. We all loved him, the ages ranged from 18 to 51, the younger crowd loved him just as much as the older crowd. He looked great and sounded great! I was thrilled with his preformance. My youngest daugthter is trying to think of the next event we can hire him for!

Because I hired Tom Barlett I was told it was the best party I had ever thrown, my husband and I had a night club in Lakeland, Florida called Kokomo, if I still had it he would be a regular proformer We had acts such as Sublime, Vince Neil, Debbie Deb (look out weekend cause here I come, because weekends were made for fun), The Four Tops,ect..

Tom did a great job for my mother's 70th Birthday! She has seen several Elvis impersonators over the years and she said the "Tom is the best I've ever seen!" He was very impressive and professional through out the performance. I would definetly reccommend him to anyone wanting to impress clients or friends. I hope I have the opportunity to use him again!

We could not have been happier with choosing Tom to perform at our wedding reception. Several people told me that it was the best reception they'd ever been to. He is extremely professional, kind, and talented, and I cannot recommend him enough!

Tom was super! We all had a "large" time! The guest of honor (it was a surprise 60th birthday party) was thrilled and wants to book Tom for another occasion. "Elvis" has not left the building as long as Tom is there!

Tom did a great job - my wife was blown away and everyone at the party commented on the quality of the performance. This was a surprise birthday party for my wife and Tom was very accomodating in terms of arrival time, song choice, etc.
I would definitely recommend Tom and re-hire in the future.

Tom has all my guests calling me the nest day saying how great he was. He did everything I asked and more. On a one-on-one level he "was Elvis" and as a performer he was flashy and approachable. I will use him again. P. Calhoon

Tom was amazing!! We had a few sound/speaker issues that we had to work through but once it was all figured out he rocked! I would strongly recommend this Elvis impersonator to anyone looking for great entertainment! He looks, acts, and sounds like the REAL Elvis.

Sound issues with the band -- they were so loud it was difficult to hear the singing. Tom's voice came across better with the CD's.
Nice costume and Elvis look -- needs to work on the choreography. His moves seemed stiff and there wasn't enough dancing.
:
The issues with the sound were due to the person hired to run the sound, who was hired by the client. Several times throughout my show, I requested the volume to be adjusted, as I could not hear myself, nor could my band hear me. To complicate matters, the monitors on stage provided by client did not work. After the show, I expressed my concerns with the soundperson, at this time, he apologized, stating that this had been the first live show he had provided sound for this year, and it was October.
As for my choreography, I pay tribute to Elvis in the Vegas years, in the early 70's. My movements on stage reflect Elvis' choreography that has been taken from ho
