The Amazing Santa Frank

Santa Frank is absolutely amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better Santa who was both kind, professional, and passionate about his work. His Fiancée, Brenda, was also a joy to work with and extremely accommodating. We used Santa Frank for a brand event involving dogs, and he was more than willing to jump in. Everyone in the room, from the guests, the client, our team, and the dogs, loved him! I couldn't recommend a better Santa.

He was early! He was gregarious! The kids loved him! He is a TALL Santa (and very handsome might I add). Was a true pleasure to have him as the star of our holiday party and he was great with kids and grown-ups equally. Very charismatic and so fun and engaging. He posed for so many pictures and read a story! Would definitely recommend and will be hiring for all of our holiday parties from here on out! THANK YOU!
