Who can you hire as an Elvis impersonator for corporate events in Northern California?
This guide ranks two Elvis tribute artists on Events in Minutes, one based in the East Bay and one in San Francisco, that take corporate bookings in Northern California, and both come to your venue. This page also covers a Frank Sinatra tribute singer from Oakland and a Michael Jackson tribute from Tracy, then two acts that pair well with a tribute headliner at a casino or Vegas-themed night: a caricature artist and a fire dancer.
Here is the number to plan around. For one hour of a tribute act (n = 4, checked October 20, 2026), prices run from $400.00 (the Sinatra singer at $400.00/hour) to $950.00 (the Emeryville Elvis show), with a median of $550.00; the Michael Jackson tribute is $450.00 for one hour ($200.00 booking fee plus $250.00) and the San Francisco Elvis artist is $650.00 fixed price. The cards are ranked for a company party by set length, guest range and price, Elvis first.
Elvis tribute artists for company parties and galas
Both Elvis listings are fixed price, so the number on the card is the number you pay before taxes and fees for the booking window shown. The Emeryville show is a 1-hour set; the San Francisco listing runs from a 30-minute set to a two-hour concert.
Elvis Tribute Artist for Corporate Events and Private Parties
An East Bay Elvis tribute artist whose standard show is one hour of hits from the Sun, Vegas and 70s eras, with costuming matched to the era you pick and a pre-show call to tailor the set list. The show is self-contained: it runs on its own sound playback or plugs into the venue PA, and needs 30 to 60 minutes of setup. Shorter singing-telegram drop-ins and a Pink Caddy arrival are listed as options, and the event list names holiday parties and Vegas night fundraisers.
Book nowElvis Tribute Artist for Anniversary and Birthday, Award Winning
A San Francisco-based Elvis tribute artist booked for 30 minutes to 2 hours: a 30-minute cocktail-hour set, a 45 to 60 minute show or a 90 to 120 minute concert with audience requests. The group range runs from 10 to 1,000, the widest of the six, and the listing names product launches, retirement parties and gala dinners. Plan an 8x10 ft performance area with an outlet within 25 ft; new songs outside the standard set need 14 days of notice.
Book nowBeyond Elvis: hire Sinatra and Michael Jackson tribute acts
The Sinatra singer is the pick for a seated dinner, an anniversary gala or an awards night; the Michael Jackson tribute is built for the moment after dinner when people are ready to move. Both are billed by the hour, and the Michael Jackson tribute adds a one-time $200.00 booking fee.
Frank Sinatra Tribute Singer for Weddings and Private Events
A crooner who sings Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, Nat King Cole and Michael Buble, from an Oakland home base that covers the Bay Area, the Sacramento corridor and Santa Cruz. Formats run from one singer with guitar or backing tracks up to a seventeen-piece big band, and the performer brings PA, microphone and mixer for solo and small-ensemble sets. Booked for 1 to 3 hours, 20 to 300 guests; it suits an awards dinner or anniversary gala.
Book nowParty Entertainer for Live Michael Jackson Tribute Show
A solo Michael Jackson tribute from Tracy: choreographed and performed live, never lip-synced, with Billie Jean, Beat It, Smooth Criminal and Thriller on the song list. The price is a $200 booking fee plus $250 per hour, with a one-hour minimum, and bookings of 60 minutes or more get light costume changes. The listing asks for a 10 by 10 foot stage area, includes travel within 60 miles and suits the after-dinner slot when the dance floor opens.
Book nowCasino entertainment and a themed night: what to pair with an Elvis tribute
A tribute headline set covers only part of a casino or Vegas-themed party, so plan something for the rest of the evening. Two listings fill that gap: a caricature artist who works a station while guests mingle, and a fire dancer for a short finale. If you are also renting casino tables, our casino night party rental cost guide covers what tables and dealers run, and the Emeryville Elvis listing names Vegas night fundraisers among its event types.
Caricature Artist for Hire Wedding Reception and Party Sketches
A live caricature station from Sacramento that keeps guests busy between sets: each sketch takes 3 to 6 minutes, so one artist draws about 8 to 15 guests an hour in pencil, color marker or digital on an iPad. Paper and supplies are included, branded paper is an add-on for company events, and a two-artist team is offered for 200-plus guests. Travel beyond 60 miles may add a flat surcharge.
Book nowFire Dancer for Hire: Martial Arts Fusion and Contemporary Sets
An Oakland fire dancer whose standard show is a 6 to 12 minute set with poi, staff, fans or a fire sword, built for a headline moment such as an after-dinner finale. The performer brings fuel, a safety blanket and a CO2 extinguisher and walks the venue first; for indoor rooms where open flame is not allowed, the listing offers an LED version. Insurance certificates are available on request.

How much does it cost to hire Elvis impersonators in Northern California?
Elvis impersonators for hire in Northern California cost $650.00 or $950.00 per booking for the two Elvis tribute artists in this guide, checked October 20, 2026. A third Elvis listing, a Folsom-based Elvis impersonator whose sets can add Sinatra and Dean Martin material, is $750.00 fixed price. Compare every card as a total for the length of your event.
A two-hour holiday party, worked out
Before taxes and fees, two hours costs: the Sinatra singer 2 x $400.00 = $800.00; the Michael Jackson tribute $200.00 + 2 x $250.00 = $700.00; and the caricature station 2 x $100.00 = $200.00. The San Francisco Elvis artist's $650.00 fixed price is listed for bookings of 0.5 to 2 hours, so a two-hour concert sits inside that window; confirm the set length you want. The Emeryville Elvis show is listed at $950.00 for 1 hour, and its description says full-show pricing scales up to 2,500 dollars with length and add-ons, so a longer show needs a quote.
What the price types mean
A fixed price covers the booking window on the card. An hourly price is multiplied by the hours you book. A composite price, like the Michael Jackson tribute's $200.00 + $250.00/hour, is a one-time fee plus an hourly rate. For more, see our event entertainer cost guide for the Bay Area.
Deposits and cancellation
Every card is request to book, so the vendor confirms your date before the booking is final. The Emeryville Elvis listing's house rules ask for a non-refundable retainer of 25 percent, and the Michael Jackson listing asks for a 25 percent deposit with the balance due seven days before the event. Five listings carry a strict cancellation policy listed as up to 30 days before the event; the Sinatra singer's policy is moderate, up to 14 days before.
Planning an Elvis tribute show for a holiday party, festival or concert
Space, sound and setup
Ask for a clear performance area and a power outlet, and check the listing for its exact needs. The San Francisco Elvis listing asks for at least 8x10 ft with an outlet within 25 ft and a private changing area; the Michael Jackson listing asks for 10 by 10 feet for the full choreography and an outlet within 30 feet for backing tracks. The Emeryville Elvis show needs 30 to 60 minutes of setup and no theatrical lighting rig. The Sinatra singer brings PA and microphone for solo and small-ensemble sets.
Elvis tribute shows for festivals and outdoor events in Northern California
Elvis tribute shows for festivals and outdoor stages in Northern California are possible with both Elvis listings in this guide, which say indoor and outdoor venues both work. Neither names festivals specifically, so describe the stage and power when you request a date; the Emeryville artist prefers a covered or shaded spot. The fire dancer listing does name festival main stages, and it needs a venue that allows open flame or its LED version.
Elvis tribute concerts: booking a longer set
For an Elvis tribute concert in Northern California rather than a party set, the San Francisco listing's extended format runs 90 to 120 minutes with audience requests and stage interaction. The listing asks for a 20-minute call at least seven days before the event to confirm the set list, length, costume and venue logistics.
Lead time and travel
The Emeryville Elvis listing says two to four weeks of lead time is typical for larger events. Travel rules differ by listing: the Michael Jackson tribute includes travel within 60 miles of its home market, the caricature artist and the fire dancer may add a flat surcharge beyond 60 miles, and the San Francisco Elvis artist quotes a surcharge beyond 100 miles. Teams in the capital region can also browse entertainers in Sacramento; see also holiday party entertainers in the Bay Area, or browse entertainers in the Bay Area on Events in Minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an Elvis impersonator cost for a corporate event in Northern California?
An Elvis impersonator for a corporate event in Northern California costs $650.00 or $950.00 for the two Elvis tribute artists in this guide, checked against the live listings on October 20, 2026. The San Francisco-based Elvis tribute artist lists $650.00 fixed price for bookings of 0.5 to 2 hours, and the Emeryville Elvis tribute artist lists $950.00 fixed price for a 1-hour show. The Emeryville description says longer or add-on shows are priced up to 2,500 dollars, so confirm the quote for anything beyond the standard hour.
How long is an Elvis tribute show?
The two Elvis tribute shows in this Northern California guide run about one hour as standard, with shorter and longer formats. The Emeryville listing's standard show is one hour and scales down to a 10 to 15 minute singing telegram. The San Francisco listing offers a 30-minute set, a 45 to 60 minute show and a 90 to 120 minute concert, all within its 0.5 to 2 hour booking window.
Can an Elvis impersonator perform at a casino night or Vegas-themed party in the Bay Area?
Yes. The Emeryville Elvis tribute artist lists Vegas night fundraisers and themed events among the parties it serves, and its show covers the Vegas era. For a casino night, book the tables separately and use the tribute act as the headline set.
Do Elvis tribute artists bring their own sound system?
The Emeryville Elvis tribute artist brings its own sound: the show is self-contained and runs on its own playback or the venue PA. The San Francisco Elvis listing prefers a venue PA with two wireless mics and says the performer can bring sound for an add-on fee at smaller venues, so ask before you book if your room has no PA.

Yes. A Michael Jackson tribute from Tracy is listed at $200.00 + $250.00/hour for 10 to 300 guests, with a one-hour minimum and travel included within 60 miles. A Frank Sinatra tribute singer based in Oakland is listed at $400.00/hour for 1 to 3 hours and 20 to 300 guests. Both travel to your venue and both are request to book.

The Michael Jackson tribute includes travel within 60 miles; the San Francisco Elvis listing adds a surcharge beyond 100 miles; the Sinatra singer lists the Bay Area, the Sacramento corridor and Santa Cruz; and the Emeryville Elvis artist covers the Bay Area and quotes out-of-region dates separately.
