Response from Uptown Santa:
This "Christmas in July" themed 75th Birthday party was SO MUCH FUN I don't think I've done an event with so many Adults, I loved it and they were there to have a good time! Whenever anyone mentioned that their kids would be jealous I suggested we get on face time so their little ones could join in the fun and that was a blast! Thank you Marsha for a wonderful beginning to Santa Season 2023! Last year was very abundant even though I was brand new to this platform and had no reviews yet!....with the abundance of FIVE STAR reviews like yours you are helping me immensely, already bookings are coming in for gigs 5 months away, I'm so grateful for this, Thank You!
Uptown Santa was great! His getup was fantastic and he made a point to ask us some questions about the kids ahead of time to provide a personalized interaction. The 4 and 5 year olds in our group had fun visiting with him individually and then singing Chirstmas carols with him. He spent the remainder of his time with the kids playing ! Super professional and very kind! thank you!

Uptown Santa was the perfect cherry on top for holiday fundraiser this past week. We held the event at a bar and created his own lil Santa corner where everyone could take photos, and he got the vibe down perfectly. Thanks again for your time, uptown Santa!!

Response from Uptown Santa:
this was a great event. Thank you so much for including me!!
Our event was held December 11th, 2022 and we are all still getting compliments! Uptown Santa truly left an amazing impact on both our kids and parents. We take pride in making sure our families feel that we cater to them and each one felt that Santa did that for each child! He was friendly, welcoming and most importantly approachable. Our gingerbread weekend was a true success because of uptown Santa! Run and don’t walk to book him, you will not be disappointed!

Uptown Santa was a hit at our Holiday Gift Giving Program. We had over 2000 children at our event and he entertained all. I recommend recommend him.

We live in a very busy world and are all too often expected to do less with more. That makes the arrangements we commit to all the more crucial to be solid, safe, professional and worry-free. Uptown Santa did just that for me.

Great communication, plenty of attention and follow-up after the event. The experience also made for great memories for the guests. Don't hesitate to work with Uptown Santa!
Santa Claus
The AKC Museum of the Dog hosted a Breakfast with Santa event and Uptown Santa did an amazing job in the title role! Easy communication, a pleasure to work with, and magical interactions for all of the participants: human and dog! He was very helpful at setting up the photo ops and working with the unpredictability of the dogs during the shoot. We would work with him again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Uptown Santa!

What to Expect
I look and I act the part because I’m not really acting, I’m a kind smart rugged gentleman in my ‘60’s and I love helping people smile. …when I was a little kid my visit to Santa was a cherished memory, I loved this big magical adult asking me what was important to me and now I’m glad I get to give back…If I can make a kid feel listened to and special that’s a successful gig….I love to entertain children and adults and I’m very good at it!!! I’m happy to memorize a script or names, anything to personalize your event ! When you hire me you’ve got the real deal !! I show up early and I know what to do, (link hidden)n sing,dance read and I Have often been complimented on my voice, I used to be a DJ and I love to have conversations with kids I promise you a memorable visit with Santa..!
