"Due to the set-up required for an authentic tribute show, and to preserve the memory of the King in a respectful way, we are NOT able to fulfill requests for singing telegrams. We are also following all COVID guidelines and restrictions for events.
Duke of Elvis Entertainment is so much fun and I am so happy that they could help make my birthday so special. After our first performer had to cancel due to a positive Covid Test, Duke of Elvis stepped in and was so kind and understanding of our last minute situation. Trish and Steve are such a kind couple and are loads of fun. Elvis (Steve) has a great voice and an outstanding stage presence. He got all my friends and I dancing and even brought us up on stage. After the show, he hung around for pictures and a meet n greet. I would recommend Duke of Elvis to anyone looking for a spectacular performance.
Response from Duke of Elvis Entertainment:
Thank you so much Alexa. We are glad you and the two other birthday girls as well as your guests enjoyed our show. We have never had such a warm and genuine response from a group in your age group before and it was much appreciated. Thanks again for letting us help you celebrate your birthdays in a unique way
This was absolutely the best Elvis act I’ve ever seen. Duke of Elvis went above and beyond all expectations. His interactions with the guests and the guest of honor were priceless. If you want a fun time with a quality artist you need to book this guy for sure!!!
Response from Duke of Elvis Entertainment:
Thank you so much for the great review and the very generous gratuity. You, your wife, and whole group were phenomenal to perform for. The merriest holidays to you and yours

Steve (Elvis) was superb. I live in California, and wanted to fly out and surprise my mom for her 70th birthday. Once I booked a venue (Mellow Mushroom in Burlington, which I highly recommend), Steve worked with the owner to do all of the coordinating and pre-planning. He was so nice and responsive. All we had to do was show up and everything had been preset and ready. My family, and especially my mom, had such a Blast!!!! My mother will Never forget this day, and it's all because of the Duke of Elvis! Thank you, Steve!

We really had a great time with the Duke of Elvis! He kept the audience engaged and it was a ton of fun! My grandmother's party was a huge success!
Response from Duke of Elvis Entertainment:
Hi Amy,
Thank you for the wonderful review and the generous tip, in a card with a dog on it, our favorite kind. I am glad that you were happy with our show for your grandmother. Everyone was very receptive in the crowd and that makes all the difference in the world, when we do a performance. Thank you again, and we both wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Response from Duke of Elvis Entertainment:
Thank you Tony and Lisa Marie. You both, and your family and friends were gracious hosts, and made us feel very welcome. It was a very relaxed event for us, and we are both glad you were pleased. Our best to you and your family. Maybe next time, your other children's jobs, will become more about a work/life balance with the emphasis on life, and make sure they are enjoying weekends.
Thank you both again,

Steve did a great job! Our guest had a great time. The guest of honor perhaps had the best time of all!!! Thanks Steve!!!

The performance given by The Duke of Elvis, Steve Cates, was wonderful! He not only looked and sounded like Elvis, but he interacted extremely well with the audience made up of mostly developmentally delayed individuals. He danced, shared props, and let them help sing some of their favorite Elvis songs. He also took their requests, signed autographs, took pictures, and made everyone of them feel so special. The Duke of Elvis far exceed our expectations and I would recommend him to anyone seeking an Elvis tribute artist. Thank you so much Steve and Trish for helping us improve the quality of life for our individuals! We look forward to seeing you perform again soon!
The whole process was wonderful. Played for a crowd of 120 and mostly special populations. Great spirit and amazing talent and generosity.
Response from Duke of Elvis Entertainment:
Hi Jen,
Thank you for you kind words. I have to say that this crowd was one of the few genuine Elvis fan groups, I have played for. I could tell they each loved music, and showed how much it touched them. Thank you for all that you do for this group too.
We were searching for an Elvis impersonator, when we located Duke of Elvis on the gig salad website and notice they were in our area which was great. Sent an email asking for details and they responded quickly and was able to accommodate our needs. Very friendly, professional and extremely easy to work with. They arrived early to set up and came back at the designated time as we had asked. The performance was outstanding. Steve mingled with the crowd, the outfit and songs were on point. Thanks Steve and Trish for making my mother-n-laws 70th birthday/retirement party a hit!
Response from Duke of Elvis Entertainment:
Thanks for the kind words. You and your husband being the life of the party helped us too.
Thank you both,
Steve and Trish Cates
We had Steve come out for my wife's backyard birthday party in August 2014. We had a classic rock band playing for the night and Steve entertained for an hour between their sets. His Elvis show whipped up a lot of excitement from both adults and kids alike and several guests remarked on their way out that this was one of their favorite parties! It was great watching Elvis interact with all the guests. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve and his Elvis show.

Steve and his wife were so easy to work with! We surprised my mom for her retirement party and she loved it. All the guests had a great time. He made everyone feel included, had a great sense of humor, and was very entertaining. We would definitely hire him again for another event. Thanks so much!!
Response from Duke of Elvis Entertainment:
Thank you so much for you kind words. We enjoyed the event as well. Good luck and health to you both and your growing family. Thank you again.
We had a great experience with the Duke of Elvis. He and his wife were very easy to contact, responded to our many requests, arrived early to set up and start on time, and most importantly gave a fun performance. Elvis engaged people in the audience and made everyone have a great time. We were so happy with his song selection and thank him and his wife for making our event so special!
The Duke of Elvis is absolutely the best! He performed for my parents 50th Anniversary Celebration and was the highlight of the evening. This was our surprise for our parents and they loved his performance. Our guests were well pleased also. When he performs, everyone is included and made to feel special by having an Elvis song performed just for them. The Duke of Elvis has an awesome performance. Thanks for the memories and helping to make my parents 50th Anniversary Celebration an event that we will talk about for years to come.
Response from Duke of Elvis Entertainment:
Thank you so much for your kind words, and we wish you and your family ever improving health and prosperity in the New Year.
We hired the Duke to perform a 40th Anniversary vow-renewal show and we could not have been any more pleased. All the guests were quite entertained and I have heard all raves reviews from everyone. His costume was marvelous and voice amazing! The Duke works well with the crowd and gets everyone involved. We highly recommend.
Steve does such a great job and is a tribute to him and his wife, as well as to Elvis. We keep coming up with a reason to have him back and he only gets better. Some of our friends drove 3 hours to see him here again. Can't say enough good things.
The Duke of Elvis put on a superb performance! His rates were extremely reasonable compared to other performers and he was super accommodating with my scheduling needs. He performed at my LTC facility and the residents LOVED him! It was such a hit, we will surely have him back. Cannot say enough good things!
Response from Duke of Elvis Entertainment:
Thank you so much Abbey. We enjoyed it as well. We have done at least a dozen Assisted Living Facilities, and we always enjoy the residents' warm and inviting response to our show. To perform for people that remember Elvis, sometimes from seeing him in the flesh, makes it even more special. I am glad we were able to take the time to perform during the start of your National Nursing Home Week . Take care and thank you again.
Duke of Elvis was a surprise entertainer for my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary. He was excellent! He was engaging and had a few tricks up his sleeve to entertain our guests. We thoroughly enjoyed his show and he was kind enough to perform a "Mock" renewal of vows which was really enjoyed by my parents. They are still talking about it and I'm sure we'll still be hearing about Elvis at their brunch for years to come! Thanks so much for your professionalism and warmth. Can't say enough good things!
Response from Duke of Elvis Entertainment:
Thank you for your kind words and for also hanging on to my suit for an extra day, after I left it behind. My wife and I have worked for good crowds in the past but I can say your whole family was wonderful and receptive to our show. We can really tell when there are true Elvis fans in the crowd. It makes what we do well worth it. Our warmest wishes to you and your family, and thanks again for allowing us to be a part of this momentous occasion. You did a great job putting this all together, and I know your whole family appreciated it.
Wow, what a night to remember! The Duke of Elvis did a great job entertaining our employees at our annual Christmas party. Elvis interacted very well with the crowd and the crowd interacted very well with him. Steve and his wife were great to work with and were very professional. Thanks for making the event so much fun!
Response from Duke of Elvis Entertainment:
It was truly a pleasure working with the employees and board members for your Christmas party. We could not have asked for a better group of people to perform our Elvis Tribute for. Thank you again,
Steve and Trish Cates
Great performance, well adapted to our needs and circumstances. We highly recommend this excellent Elvis impersonator for any party/event.
Response from Duke of Elvis Entertainment:
It was truly our pleasure to be part of your celebration. You seem to have a wonderful support unit in your family and friends. We thoroughly enjoyed performing our Tribute Show for your event, and wish you all the best.
Thank you, thank you very much,
Steve and Trish Cates
The Duke of Elvis is a fabulous entertainer. He was professional and punctual. His talent and costume were very impressive. His performance made our event successful and fun. Customers still talk about that evening and how much they enjoyed Elvis! That's why we plan events! That's why we look forward to another night of The Duke of Elvis visiting our store! He is wonderful!!!
Response from Duke of Elvis Entertainment:
This is one of the first times we had the honor of performing in our hometown. We are trying to promote business in our downtown of Mebane, NC. Teresa was a gracious host, and we enjoyed being part of the festivities. The Curious Peddler shop is a very unique shop, that combines antiques and eclectic items as well. It's worth a visit or two or three. We had a great time, and appreciate your kind words.
Steve has perform for the residents of Hillcrest Convalescent Center for many years. He is a regular for our annual "Viva Las Vegas" party. Steve always go the extra mile during each of his performances. He not only sings for the residents who attend the party, but he also goes to visit residents who are unable to attend the party. For me, that says a great deal for the type of entertainer that he is.
Response from Duke of Elvis Entertainment:
I have enjoyed performing for the residents of Hillcrest Convalescent Center for the last 20 years. Before I started performing my Elvis Tribute, I performed as part of a band or solo. I have always appreciated the warm response from the residents and am honored that I can use my tribute in such a positive manner.
Duke of Elvis did a fabulous job at my parents' 50th wedding anniversary celebration. The show by Duke of Elvis was a total surprise to my parents, who loved the show, as did all of their guests! He was very professional and did a great job of not only performing the numbers, but getting every member of the audience involved. A great time was had by all!
Response from Duke of Elvis Entertainment:
My wife and I very much enjoyed sharing in this momentous occassion. The entire event was very elegant and beautifully arranged. It was an honor to be able to be part of this occassion.
Steve did a wonderful job at my parents 50th wedding anniversary. He got the people up and dancing, included my parents in his act and even children had a great time! Would highly recommend "Duke of Elvis" (Steve Cates) to anyone considering an Elivs impersonator. Price is very resonable, even a bit too low!
