Feedback
- Brian greeted the numerous guests as they arrived to attend our Christmas party. Even though I did not personally observe him "in action" a number of attendees gave him a very positive evaluation. We was very accomodating as well as he "stayed in touch" with me prior to the event to make sure I knew he was still planning to attend (which I greatly appreciated). Additionally, he showed up at the agreed upon time and completed his service in a very satisfactory manner. We were very pleased to have used Brian as "Santa"! -- Ben C, Arden, NC, 12/17/2009
- Very pleased with Brian!!! -- Kelly K, Greensboro, NC, 12/4/2009
