Our daughter googled ‘Frank Sinatra impersonator’ because that is what she wanted to have for the entertainment for her high school graduation party. Wendell was assigned to the party. A few weeks before the event, our daughter chose from a list of songs that Wendell provided and everything was set. Wendell showed up well in advance of the agreed-upon time and set up his supporting equipment in the appointed place on our backyard patio. Wendell’s mix of songs and easy-going manner made our daughter’s graduation a very memorable occasion for her and the 70 guests. On a whim, we decided to ask Wendell to play for another hour after already playing for two hours. He gladly complied. In the days after the graduation party, we saw a few of our neighbors that attended the party and all of them raved about Wendell.

Wendell was the absolute hit of the wedding! He performed during dinner and that was really a good time because cocktail hour would have been too noisy. Everyone complimented his singing and was very impressed!

Our Father turned 80 this month - a few weeks before his Birthday he had some health issues, so the original party plans had to be changed. We put together a Surprise party for our Dad - and Wendall Live! fufilled a very last minute request. He answered emails very quickly and was very professional and personable. He was very easy to deal with and quickly answered any questions that arose. He arrived on time and was more then flexible from the beginning regarding his set up. The forecast changed a few times from cloudy to rain. We were all set up in a tent, when it began to rain. Wendall made it work. No one under the tent even noticed the rain once Wendall started the show. Wendall's performance of Sinatra was the highlight of my Father's 80th Birthday party, and set the tone for the rest of the evening. Wendall was fantastic - from funny stories between songs and some Frank trivia he kept everyone engaged. His voice is great and his personality is awesome! Wendall had a microphone ready in case my Dad wanted to sing, and to our delight he did. Our Dad sang at all of our Weddings, and now his Grandkids were all able to see him in his glory singing My Way! I would recommend Wendall Live to anyone looking for a Sinatra Impersonator. Our Guests loved him - and my Father stated to Wendall and the crowd " Hands down the BEST Sinatra impersonator I have seen, and I've seen alot!" Can't wait to do it again, at our Dad's 85th and 90th!! Wendall truly is an "A #1" class act!

What to Expect
My goal is to make your job in arranging the entertainment easy and to assure that you have a quality event. I can work with you to help plan the entertainment portion of your event. We can discuss what type of atmosphere or mood you want and design a set list to meet your needs. If this is a large room event and you need assistance in renting sound equipment, I can do this for you. If the event is in a small room and you are within 200 miles I will provide all the sound gear at no charge. I am a solo entertainer, utilizing professional backing tracks for music. This allows for an uncomplicated set up and you only having to rely on one person to deliver the entertainment.
