No call no show

I book a Santa for a Holiday Dinner/Party for senior citizens. Didn't answer any of my phone calls. I will not recommend booking.

I apologize for lack of communication. However, we unfortunately had a death in our family. That's our issue, however, it was a very tough situation.

Mr and Mrs Clause exceeded our expectations!

We had children of all ages in attendance and a lot of adrenaline and excitement and Santa and Mrs Claus entered the room
and the excitement was contagious. Professionals, kind, great listeners and kind and pleasant and not pushy of intrusive to the kids a little more hesitant. They were the hit of the family Christmas party and I highly recommend. The bears for the babies and little stockings too! Very much a thumbs up!
