March 13, 2025I had the opportunity to hire Fred for my husband’s Surprise birthday party 3/8/2025 literally within 2 weeks of the date due to my father being hospitalized in ICU. Fred was punctual, dressed appropriately, and engaged well with the guests and guest of honor. He was communicative throughout the 2 weeks and showed a caring heart despite the circumstances. I would definitely book him again! The guests & I really enjoyed his charisma and expertise in his craft. Thanks for a job well done Fred!
