Larry was such a great Elvis surprise for a casual happy hour for my business school reunion. He brought all his own AV equipment so is able to support many types of events. This was my first time hiring on GigSalad (or hiring any impersonator for that matter) and it was a totally last minute...A "I wonder if I could"...thing. I posted for a Brad Pitt impersonator but am so glad Larry reached out. He patiently waited and hid himself until it was time to come out, incorporated a personalized intro that tied into our event, sang for about 20 mins and then did 10mins of photos. (If you're hiring for a reunion where people haven't seen each other for 5-10 years, 15 mins of singing and 15 mins of photos would be better.) Thank you, Larry! People said the event would be unforgettable!
We booked Larry (Elvis Impersonator) for our Casino Nights Dance at our senior center. He did such an amazing job! He's very professional, talented, and engaging. Our seniors raved at how great he was, and we would love to have him back in the future. Thank you, Larry!!!

If you're lucky enough to secure the services of Larry D. Sanders, then look NO further.
There's a reason this guy is ALWAYS booked solid!
As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for" and Larry's level of professionalism, equipment, costumes, party favors, photos, and CRISP, THUNDERING performance is unmatched in a field rife with sub-par impersonators. When he hits the stage, you'll know without a doubt that you made the right choice.
The UNCANNY resemblance, mannerisms and 'Jailhouse moves' that he embodies when he 'becomes' Elvis is truly mind-boggling to watch!
When you need Elvis and ONLY Elvis, you have two choices: You can travel to Graceland and dig him up...or you can hire Larry D. Sanders, The DEFINITIVE Elvis!
Elvis the entertainer was fantastic for our block party. Truly delightful. Many compliments from our guest. Entertained the entire audience! So professional and an outstanding performer! Thank you!
The best of the best, he was in character the entire time. He had everyone’s full attention, we laughed and dance the night. His voice sounded just like Elvis no lip sync. My mom and guests were blown away. I was Star struck. You will not be disappointed trust me. I have a bunch of videos I wish I could share the entire experience… love love love Sanders big shout out to him and gig salad company for introducing us…

Larry has the perfect Elvis personality that everyone should have at their party. He gets everybody in to it a special way. I would’ve never thought the party would’ve turned out like a did. Thank you so much Larry for making my sister‘s 80th birthday party such a blast.

Response from The Sound of Elvis By Larry D Sanders:
Thank you for everything Don, your family and friends were amazing and I loved the energy they had. It was an honor for me to be there for Linda’s special day. Cheers Don!🍻
Larry, I mean Elvis, was absolutely AMAZING! Professionally he was exceptional. He was communicative, on time and ready to rock as soon as he got there. He had everything he needed to make this a true Elvis party. Personally, he was very gracious. He had a great personality and interacted with all our guests, young and old. As Elvis, he sounded amazing! Great voice and his routine was just like having Elvis there! Great energy! We can’t thank you enough for providing such great entertainment! Book Larry for your next event with confidence and you will not be disappointed!
Larry was a surprise “guest” at a 60th anniversary party. He was personable, professional and fun! He really got the crowd going. I’d definitely recommend.

Thank you Larry for the entertainment for our Holiday Event! It was great meeting you and everyone truly enjoyed your entertainment. Everyone had a great time your show was fun and loved the guest interaction. We would hire you again, appreciated you being on time and being organized. Cindy
He showed up on time. He made the guest of honor feel very special. His performance was the best. His voice and appearance and was truly Elvis.
Larry performed at grandma’s 70th birthday, in our family’s backyard. She can’t travel, so we brought the show to her!
He was so helpful with the surprise. He took 10 minutes to discreetly set up his mic and amp, then Elvis (with the hair and jumpsuit, belt and sunglasses) came out and began the show! He did all the hits and a few deep cuts, and several songs had “gimmicks” (like handing out teddy bears during …well … “Teddy Bear”) that our kids in the audience (aged 6-12) really enjoyed.
First off, his voice is amazing, like real range and he held some impressive notes. Secondly, he encourages the crowd to dance and take pictures, and we did plenty of both. But best of all, when grandpa unexpectedly asked if he “takes requests,” Elvis had the necessary backing track for the obscure song I had never heard of - and performed it as grandpa and grandma shared a romantic dance in front of their kids and grandkids. Such a special moment!
Karate kicks, silly jokes, true love for the tunes - Elvis had it all.
After a high-energy finale, Elvis posed for all the silly pictures we wanted, then left the building. Larry returned and amiably took about ten minutes to break down his equipment and let us move on to grandma’s cake snd ice cream. The birthday girl has been talking about her unexpected concert ever since!
I can’t recommend Larry highly enough. He’s everything you want for this sort of performance. Thank you Elvis, thank you very much.

Larry was AMAZING! He was professional, personable, and did an ABSOLUTELY AWESOME JOB AS ELVIS! We could not have been happier - HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!
Elvis Impersonator
Everybody loved it, literally everyone - we had a birthday party with hardcore Elvis fans so I was very picky. Our celebrant was so happy, everyone kept asking me where I found Larry, and i was filled with texts and messages from our guests telling me what an awesome time they had and Elvis was just over the top. Thank you for making party special. It was definitely one for the books!
Everyone was super-impressed and Elvis was back in the house🙂 Thanks again!!!

Thank you very much Jessica, I appreciate your review very much. your family and friends were a lot of fun.
You put on a great party Jessica, thank you for everything.
Larry Sanders is 5 Stars, 10 out of 10, A+ and any other rating scale you can think of, performer. He engaged our guests, sounded great, and performed with the mannerisms of Elvis even better than I could have expected. Our guests have been sending us texts and emails telling us how much they enjoyed "Elvis" at our Christmas Party, so glad we chose him to perform!

Cheers! and a Merry Christmas and a very happy new year to you.
Mr. Sanders was the perfect addition to our event! He arrived on time, he was very polite and professional and he performed a great show. The ladies at our event loved it. Thank you so much!
Elvis Impersonator
in a word Larry was great. He arrived on time we pulled off the charade of being a coworker and when he was all set up he came out as Elvis and thoroughly entertained the ladies in the audience.

Larry is a wonderful entertainer and captured the heart of each girl there celebrating a small class reunion. What I appreciated almost more than how amazing he was, as a business person, he is a great communicator. He was proactive, on time, gave all of his time, and the consummate professional. I recommend him very highly, your needs for your event are clearly, his top priority. Thanks again Larry, it was my pleasure!

Hiring an Elvis impersonator I discovered is difficult because there are quite a few guys that do this gig, but when you HAVE to make sure you get the right Elvis for your Mom's 80 bday, the pressure is on not to screw it up. I selected Larry Sanders because he was professional and prompt to my questions , and he offered "extras" which I thought would be nice.
However, I was not prepared AT ALL on how good Larry is. First off, the guy really morphs into Elvis, with the voice, stance, mannerisms, and stage presence! He took our dinner party of 30 conservative family members and had us on our feet! This performance was really mesmerizing, and immediately after the very first song I knew I made the right decision to hire him.
Additionally Larry has a playful interaction with the crowd that had us laughing. He is the total package, and I would highly recommend him to anybody. Larry : Thank You for making my Mom's birthday the best! She is still talking about it days later!

Larry is one of the best professional entertainers I have ever met. Not only is he an awesome Elvis, he is a very personable guy who is great at his craft. My wife Cheryl and I had Larry perform our 40th anniversary marriage vow renewals on the beach at the Del Coronado Hotel in San Diego, at sunset, in December and he was the King of the beach. We had a small ceremony that was not only enjoyed by us and our family, but all the passersby as well. He brought just the personal touch we were looking for. He also had some great vows for us and we danced to a few great Elvis songs. Our 4 year-old granddaughter, who is special needs, enjoyed Larry too. Thank you Larry for making our small event HUGE Baby! Thank you VERY much!!

I surprised my wife and friends for her birthday party this past August 22, 2015 with Larry D. Sanders. He was fantastic. His interaction with the audience was great and everyone, called us after to rave about how great Larry was and to say that this was the best party ever. Larry D. Sanders really made this a very special night.

Larry did an amazing job as Elvis! He was on time, professional and so easy to work with. He was adaptable when we had a starting time problem. His costume was pristine, and his presentation so well done. My 102 year old Mother loved him. I would recommend him without reservation!!!

This was the first I used Gigsalad and chose Larry Sanders, he was entertaining, professional and gave a great show that everyone of all ages enjoyed.
Elvis Impersonator
Larry was great, looked and sounded just like we imagined Elvis would .Larry kept us informed and communicated frequently leading up to event. He showed up at event early and set up discreetly, no one even knew that Larry was Elvis. His sound system and costume were excellent. This was a birthday party for my 80 year old mother and most of her friends were of same age and they all just loved Larry's humor and flirting. Show was approx. 40 minutes and Larry was most gracious posing for pictures after show. I would be happy to use Larry's services again. Thanks Larry!
Elvis Impersonator
Honestly, this was the best performance of any impersonator I’ve ever had the pleasure to experience! I lived a fantasy as though “Back to the Future” in the 60’s with Elvis in person- touchable, real, and alive before me. Larry’s moves, voice, and glib remarks were so “Elvis” all over again. And oh boy, what a grand time we all had at my mother’s 96th birthday party. Who says old folks can’t get into the swing of things! Ha! Atria Golden Creek has been buzzing for weeks about the best entertainment they ever had! As for me, my friends and family--WOW! We danced, swooned and screamed for more!
A memorable experience to say the least. My only question is ..." Why did it have to end?"

Thank you Rita for the very kind words I appreciate that so very much.Your Mom was so energetic it blew me away.It was a great venue and great people to perform for.Thank you Rita for having me perform at this very special occasion.
I had interviewed half a dozen Elvis impersonators & had listened to most of them, but you are the one that stands out in all of them. I did not regret choosing you, you're the perfect Elvis impersonator for my 50th Birthday party. What a FABULOUS show Larry gave ... everyone loved him ... he worked the crowd like we were in Vegas ... everyone felt special ... he was sooo good the hostess requested an additional hour ... that speaks doesn't it! My girlfriends really liked you & we had a good time. I guess some of the husbands envy you secretly!!! HAHAHA. This will be short but from the heart, you're so cool, warm hearted & very professional. I had welcomed you in my world & I hope you'll remember me! Thank you very much!!!
