Elvis Impersonators for Hire Near Me

On average, Elvis impersonators cost $300-$500. This price will vary depending on the travel distance, type of event, experience level, and what exactly you want from your impersonator. A full stage show with a band, lights, costume changes, and multiple songs will run much higher than a simple appearance for photo ops or a single-song performance.

On GigSalad, Elvis impersonators are most commonly booked for 1-hour appearances. This might be for a full tribute show or just a couple of songs combined with photo ops. Many Elvises are willing to accommodate any event length, from singing telegrams to mingling at trade shows. For longer events, you should plan for your performer to take a break every 45 minutes or so.

Elvis impersonators embody the King of Rock and Roll from the time they arrive at your event until the moment he has left the building. This will include wearing one of Elvis’ iconic costumes, using his trademark baritone voice, and shaking those hips. You can hire an Elvis impersonator to pose for photos with your guests, act as a singing telegram, or perform a full stage show complete with a band and lights.

Many of the performers that impersonate Elvis Presley do so because they have a talent for both looking and sounding like the King himself. However, some might only have the looks and not the voice, in which case they will often lip-sync to tracks of the songs instead. Elvis impersonators that have perfected the look, movement, and voice will be the most expensive to hire.

An impersonator does a full impersonation of Elvis, from the costumes to the mannerisms to the voice. Even if they don’t do their own singing, they can still walk and talk exactly like him. An Elvis tribute act might try to look and sound like Elvis as well, but primarily they specialize in performing Elvis’ music, often with a full band.

An appearance from the King can be good for a variety of events! Hire an Elvis Impersonator for birthday parties, corporate events, trade shows, or any '50s-themed party. You could even do a Vegas-style wedding ceremony and book an Elvis impersonator to officiate. He could also be part of the wedding entertainment at the reception!
