We absolutely LOVE Santa Ron! He was so loving & kind with our son Keaton. We will most definitely be seeing him again this year/years to come.

Response from Santa Ron:
Thanks for your endorsement. Santa Ron really loved being with you and your husband but especially little Keaton. He is the sweetest little boy. I really love kids at that young age because of the look of wonder and amazement in their little eyes. Santa Ron can't wait to see you all again this year.

Santa Ron is absolutely amazing. He did an outstanding job for us the last two seasons (this year will be our third). He is very professional, on-time, dependable, kind and caring. He was very understanding and compassionate during covid Christmas’s when masks were required with us around the elderly and had no issues with additional requests and/or the mandated requirements to keep the elderly and/or high risk people safer. I would highly recommend him for any of your Santa’s needs! We love Santa Ron.

Response from Santa Ron:
Thanks for your kind words. It is so special for Mrs. Claus and Santa to spend Christmas Day afternoon with you and your family of animals. Mrs. Claus especially loves the mini horses and sharing them with the people we visit on these journeys. Kids come in all ages, even 75 and each of them deserve to have a special memory on Christmas Day. I love watching their eyes light up as the many animals go by and they get to pet them and hug them. It is very special. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your special family. Mrs. Claus and Santa cannot wait till we see this year.

There are few moments in one’s life that leave a lasting memory of true joy. This experience ranks near the top for myself and my family. We were privileged to have Santa come visit our seven month old son. There was attentiveness, care, and a level of professionalism that was refreshing to witness. I have the utmost respect for someone who not only takes the time to capture and exemplify the essence of the Christmas season, but one who brings to remembrance past Christmas memories when I was my son’s age. We look forward to this Christmas season and many more to come.

Response from Santa Ron:
Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Santa very much enjoyed being with you and your family last Christmas. Your little boy is so precious. He loved my beard and Santa loved his eyes when he would stare into my face. Sort of reminded me of you when you were a little boy his age HO HO HO. Santa is looking forward to seeing you again this year and turning this into a tradition.
Thanks you.

We were able to have Santa Ron come by to do photos with the groups and he was awesome! He was with us for several hours and made over 300 photos and he was just as jovial as he walked out the door as he was when he arrived. Very close likeness and had a great attitude and respect for the job he was doing. If I had a quarter for every time I heard the question 'is he the REAL Santa?'..........
Will have him back next year for sure!

Response from Santa Ron:
Thank you so much for such kind words. Every single child is special and deserves my full attention and best version of Santa. Your children made that so easy with their smiles and excitement. I am so happy that I could be a part of your event! See you next year.

Santa Ron was excellent! He showed up on time and was a great communicator through the process. He interacted with children and adults perfectly!

Response from Santa Ron:
Thank you. It was a fun event. All of the different booths were amazing! The artists are so talented and created beautiful items. The kids, as always, were so cute. I loved every minute. Santa Ron
Santa Ron did an amazing job of cheering my staff for our 2020 holiday gathering. We all needed a holiday lift and Santa Ron provided it with humor and grace! Ours was a virtual event conducted over Zoom, and Santa Ron was a big, cheerful presence. With advance input from me (the boss;-) each staff person was commended for specific "nice" things they had done throughout the prior year. (Some were gently and appropriately teased for being "naughty", but all nice in the end!) Whether in person or virtual, I confidently would recommend Santa Ron for any event.

Response from Santa Ron:
Thank you for the kind words. 2020 was a tough year for all. Santa Ron really enjoyed the virtual visit with you and your staff. If Santa Ron can lift spirits and generate smiles on faces then his job has been a success. It is always fun to be a part of any organization that treats their people well and cares about them. That was evident in you group from the start. Keep up the good work. Hope to see you again soon.
Thanks
Santa Ron
Santa Ron has come to our Early Learning Center multiple years and always does a great job! We have children with special needs and he was always very sensitive to their needs. He took time with each child. Santa Ron is the perfect Santa!

Response from Santa Ron:
Thanks so much. I love coming to ELC. The kids there are so precious and loving. I look forward to seeing them again in a couple of months.
Thanks,
Santa Ron
Santa Ron visited my school and was so cheery, kind and patient with all of the kids. He visited with hundreds of kids in multiple classes and was the highlight of the day! Santa Ron is Fabulous!

Response from Santa Ron:
Thanks for your kind words. Santa Ron loves to visit schools. It allows Santa Ron to see so many kids in one place. Typically, Santa Ron goes to elementary schools. Last year Santa Ron was fortunate to get to come see you at a middle school. The kids were all in a state of disbelief and wondered just for a second, could this really be him? Their faces were classic and Santa Ron had a ball.
Thanks for the invitation and cannot wait to see you again this year.
Santa Ron
Thanks Santa Ron! You were awesome again this year (as usual). My kindergarten class loved you visit again this year. You are a really good story teller and they enjoyed you reading the book, Night Before Christmas, very much. Several came up after talking to you and said, "He is the REAL Santa." It was a very good morning. See you next year.

Response from Santa Ron:
Thanks so much for the review and for allowing me to be a part of sharing Christmas with your class. They were all very sweet and excited to see me. I cannot wait to see you in December of 2022.

About
Background
HO HO HO. Santa Ron is a real bearded, experienced Santa Claus portrayal actor serving North Alabama, Northeast Mississippi, and Southern Central Tennessee. Santa Ron has been bringing smiles to children of all ages for over 40 years at both paid and charity events. The twinkle in Santa Ron’s eyes keeps the mystery of Santa alive as he interacts with each child, speaking but more importantly listening to them and making their experience real and full of magic. As a grandfather of five grandkids, Santa Ron knows how to communicate with kids and knows how important the little things are to them.
Being Santa is so much more than putting on a beard and a red suit. As a real bearded Santa, there is no “off season”. Santa Ron is Santa Claus all year round. He is constantly dressed in red to go with his natural long white hair and amazing white beard. Kids of all ages come up to him in stores and ask, “Are you the real Santa Claus?” Santa Ron always knows exactly what to say and handle the situation. Santa Ron loves to change those little ones who are bashful or even afraid of Santa into a full believer with a smile on their face. Santa is not a job. It is a year-round lifestyle, even a calling.
It is my goal for every event, that all your guests, whether kids, adults, or senior citizens will realize that the Spirit of Christmas is special, warm, joyful, and real. I love to see smiles on children’s faces and a twinkle in the eyes of parents as they see their kids experiencing the magic of Christmas. When you book with Santa Ron, we will work together to make your event unique and special.
