Jon had a great personality. I loved how he dressed as Santa Claus a little differently. The kids loved him and loved his accent. The real beard was a definite plus. Would absolutely hire him again

• Upon his arrival he immediately began to approach the children and create balloon hats for all • Very friendly and accommodating • Never sat down continued to approach both adults and children during the whole time • Mr. Pessin had a very friendly and gentle appearance which enabled the children to approach him with their requests without intimidation • To sum up my perception of Mr. Pessin is that he was professional ,punctual , accommodating, friendly , great with the children and talented.

Jon was professional, on time, went out of his way to pick up deposit. Kids loved his added skill of balloonist. He completed the job to my specific requests. He's awesome at what he does.

The kids really enjoyed Jon's talent at balloon twisting. A few disappointed kids under the age of 3 - as Jon's contract states he cannot provide balloons for children under age 3.

Toni, Thank you for the review. I'm sorry that some of the children were upset that I couldn't give them balloons, but my age limits are set for their safety. Children under the age of 3 can sometimes chew on the balloons, pop them, and be injured or choke on the fragments. I do try to be clear with the parents about who I am and am not able to share my balloons with, but sometimes misunderstandings happen. Hopefully the event was still a success! Have a wonderful day. Regards, Jon Pessin Balloonatic & Licensed Goof-Off.

Jon was Santa Claus for our Christmas party, and he was WONDERFUL! He was extremely flexible, warm, and good with the kids... and he could SING! He came in singing and he left singing Christmas songs. We will definitely be booking him again!

Jon did a great job! He really WAS Santa to my believing kids. He handled the kid and adult crowd like a true professional. If you’re looking for a Santa...Jon is your guy.

He was wonderful. The kids in our family loved this Santa. The parents, Grandparents and Great GrandParents loved this Santa. Even the young people 13 to 22 loved this Santa. Everyone had a great time. Thank You, Santa.

Santa Jon was excellent! He came right on time despite bad weather conditions. He entertained the kids and was very realistic. We would highly recommend him and will definitely use his services in the future! Even adults took pictures with him! We could not be happier with the fact we got matched up with Santa Jon!

Community Event•Reviewed on December 7, 2017•From Lincolnwood, IL

The Village of Lincolnwood hired Jon Pessin for our first Breakfast with Santa this past December. He not only sat down with the children individually for photo opportunities, but he also read holiday stories to the children as a group. He was very easy to work with before and during the event. He was a perfect Santa for our community and didn't overdo it with holiday cheer. We plan to work with Jon for our Santa event in the future as well as in our summer camps for his pirate and balloon skills. Highly recommend!

We had to make last minute changes in our event due to rain and I found Jon to be accommodating, joy filled and great with the audience. Definitely want to hire him again!
