Michael Paul was so gracious and I am so thankful he accepted my request to come to my Mother’s funeral and sing as Elvis. My mom had Alzheimer’s but never forgot a trip to Vegas to see Elvis back in the 70’s. Michael had a broken ankle but showed up to pay tribute to my Mom:) It was the most beautiful celebration I could of ever asked for. Thank you so much:) if there were 10 stars I would give it to Michael Paul so 5 stars yes!!!!!
Response from Michael Paul is Elvis:
Thank you so much. You were a joy to work with from start to finish and a wonderful caring person who gave your all for your Mom, the event, and working with us.
Bless you Linda, you family, and your Mom who was Saturday and right now sitting next to Elvis and reminiscing.
Michael Paul Callahan as Elvis
I had an unusual request for why I needed an Elvis performance and the team worked with me to create a special event that was meaningful to my family. I really appreciated everyone’s help in making a special moment.
Response from Michael Paul is Elvis:
Thank you so much. You were so helpful, a great positive attitude and we really appreciated it.
Lord Bless you all.
I cannot say enough good about Michael Paul and his crew! I hired them to surprise my sister for her 70th birthday. From start to finish they were wonderful! They were timely, efficient, professional and kind! Even with an unforeseen tech problem, they were setup and ready for my sister's arrival. Michael Paul did a fantastic job of honoring and spotlighting my sister, serenading her with her favorite songs! He took time to provide photo ops to friends and family, allowing us to preserve special memories. He and his crew (Aaron and Connie) gave their utmost to make the evening for my sister (and me)! They went above and beyond my expectations! I would definitely recommend them to make any event spectacular!
Response from Michael Paul is Elvis:
Diane it was worth every mile to arrive for such a wonderful event, audience, guest of honor and host. The venue was great, with a raised stage, and Diane was one of the most attentive and appreciative hosts ever.
Vickie is adorable and her friends, we thank you for inviting us.
You are a true blessing to the world and your sister.
"Elvis" Michael Paul Callahan
Michael Paul is Elvis was fantastic. I never expected for him to have all the equipment he brought with him to make my party so special. Getting Michael Paul Callahan as an Elvis impersonator was the best decision I made for my party. My one dream was to have Elvis at my 80th birthday party. I didn't think it would happen. I went online looking for an Elvis impersonator and found the website GigSalad.com which was so easy to work with. Michael Paul is Elvis even took the time to go around the room to have his picture taken with my guests.
Everything went as planned, fun experience
I decided to book Elvis as a last minute musical guest in an effort to spice up the party. He literally made the party come to life! Elvis and his team were down with my idea from the very beginning. They worked with me every step of the way to make the entrance and the show as memorable and epic as possible. The entire party was blown away and it totally lit up the event. It’s been about a week and people are still talking about it!! It started as a last minute idea and from now on, it will be the first I have when I organize more events/parties. Don’t miss out on Elvis!
Response from Michael Paul is Elvis:
Thank you so much, Justin. You were a joy to work with and we are really glad we were invited and could appear at your Hollywood film wrap party.
You are extremely organized and I bet all your projects reflect this. Maybe we can also work together in a future film? We normally decline 95% of the daily offers we receive acting and as "Elvis" but wanted to show our appreciation for the film industry now providing steady art, Hollywood movies and roles to NY! We are still chuckling about trying to get from the car to your venue. People on the street jaws were steadily dropping in shock as a fully costumed "Elvis" suddenly appeared in downtown Syracuse. They were rushing over on the sidewalk, taking videos and photos. When you are the same height, weight, costume and even similar face as Elvis people always do a double take. At a Hilton recently, I suspect after a few drinks, a huge crowd in the lounge saw "Elvis" walk by with escorts to the dressing room after the show and freaked. Then they ran to our manager and asked if that was really Elvis, and could he come to their table? Love it.
But most of all we enjoy making people happy, folks ages 3-100 love Elvis, and most never had a chance to see him. We wish you continued success.
Easy to reach an agreement, details worked out fine, minor problem with spotlight malfunction but show was well liked by all in attendance. Terrific after show, got a a lot of pictures. Some Hotel problems created by Hotel but all worked out well. Recommend Highly.
Response from Michael Paul is Elvis:
Thank you. A wonderful group of people. Excellent venue, a new hotel.
Very happy we accepted this appearance. I think we had as much fun as they did.
Our desire was to please the clients and Syracuse University, that is filming our Elvis, Michael Paul Callahan,
a top ranked Elvis Tribute Artist in the northeast, a Hollywood movie actor and singer in Broadway musicals for a documentary on him.
Price Range: $500-$5,000
Gig Length: 30 - 300 minutes
Each show/event is tailored to the specific needs and theme. This includes costuming, lights and sound, special effects, song selection and more.
From large full scale to smaller events. We are one of the few that have a sound system powerful enough to handle large venues and outdoors. Very few others do.
Some people book the least expensive, and frankly they are nothing like Elvis. For a true event to be proud of request our "Elvis."
