A Santa Near Me

Anyone can put on a red suit, but it takes a special person to truly be Santa. My mother made many sacrifices for me, and helped me to see how meaningful Christmas can be as the season of giving. While she still loves the magic of Christmas, she is now almost 80 years old, living alone, and very hesitant to venture beyond her home. I am sooo grateful that Santa Bob could come to her home and make the visit with her teenage grandchildren unforgettable. She and Santa reminisced and shared common understanding about so many things in Richmond - including people, places, and events as if they were they always old friends. He engaged so well with my children too - and showed a genuine interest toward their successes and next steps beyond high school. He brought his red sack to deliver my mom's gifts, and the story time with "Twas the Night Before Christmas" was perfect for our small crew. I cannot think of an experience more impactful or meaningful for my mom than Christmas magic that Santa Bob was able to create. Santa is not just for the young - he always remains so meaningful to the young at heart. I am so glad he could kindle the same enthusiasm in her heart that she felt many decades ago when she spoke with Santa as a little girl. Among many things or experiences that one may consider as a gift, the value of human connection is priceless. I would give 100 stars if I could.

This is our second year having Santa Bob as our neighborhood Santa. He is magical! Everyone adores him, not just because he's Santa, but he's wonderful with engaging with kids and making them feel special. He is the real deal!

Santa Bob is truly incredible! I'm a photographer who hosts a magical Santa Experience at my photography in Warrenton, Virginia. Santa Bob was new to me this year, and I am SO glad I found him when I did! He is a hot commodity and I cannot wait to continue working with him in the future. :) All of the kids left our Santa sessions RAVING about him and truly believing his is the REAL DEAL! He is so sweet with all of the kids and has the best sense of humor!

could not have asked for a more magical Santa then Santa Bob! every adult went wild at the event and could not wait to take a picture with Santa Bob 12-8-2022
extremely personable with each and every one.

Santa Bob did so great with my 4 year old and a 2 year old. He read a book to the kids, played ball with the little one, and generally had a great conversation with them. We took lots of pictures with Santa, and the kids were ecstatic about Santa visiting them. We highly recommend Santa Bob, and would definitely invite him again next year! :)

We loved Santa Bob! I was struck by his beautiful suit when he arrived. It was simply exquisite! His personality with the children was wonderful. My grandchildren are 3 years, 20 months, 16 months and 3 months. Basically, it was a photo op. My 3-year -old felt completely comfortable with Santa. The 20-month-old liked him at a distance and even brought a teddy bear to Santa. The 16-month-old was screaming but Santa was kind and sweet to her. Of course, the 3-month-old just sat and watched. Santa was wonderful with them all and didn’t force things. I would highly recommend Santa Bob! It was a wonderful experience for our family!

Santa did an excellent job. The kids loved it. Thank you Santa for our "special" visit.

Santa Bob was a great Santa for our neighborhood event. I had so many people tell me what a good job he did. He read a story to all the kids which is always a huge hit. He listened and chatted with all the kids about all sorts of things, not just their Christmas lists. Can’t wait to book him again for next year.

Santa was great with our residents, he was compassionate, funny and respectful with all staff and residents. This is our second year booking Santa and I will continue to book him for future events.

Santa was great! My staff greatly enjoyed the surprise visit. Santa was punctual and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him and hire him for future events!

Santa Bob gets it! Beyond his impeccable appearance and beautifully detailed suit, he is the 'total package'. Prior to our event, he was communicative and thorough. His interactions with both kids and kids-at-heart were the absolute highlight of our evening! He spent time with each child in attendance and carried on conversations with the children about anything their little hearts desired! Our event had some last-minute changes, and he was able to roll with them with ease and professionalism. We can't thank you enough, Santa Bob!

Best Santa Ever!

A Santa Near Me was the most perfect Santa I’ve been around! He was professional, kind, funny, playful and had such a wonderful presence. He entertained our patients and brighten all the children's faces! We will book this Santa again for next year, we can’t wait to have him back! Thank you again Santa for saving our office party! Highly recommend!

Santa came to our office and provided a wonderful experience for everyone. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for some holiday cheer from the North Pole!

Santa Bob was fantastic. He was there through the whole event, and was wonderful and cheerful from start to finish. He was very personable, nice and friendly. He was kind to the kids, and everyone loved him. I would recommend him every year.

Santa Bob was hands down the best Santa I've ever worked with! We have an annual event every year for our past clients. This Santa, by far, is the best Santa I've ever encountered! He spent so much time with each kiddo, getting to know their interests and what they like, in addition to what they want from Christmas. It was so heartwarming to see even the shy kids open up to him by the end of their little visit. He even got up and mingled with everyone and totally worked the room when no one was in line. He was the talk of the party. Literally every client I spoke to said, "this Santa is AMAZING!". Could not be more thrilled with his service and can't wait to have him back next year. Also, his suite was absolutely beautiful. Complete with Jingle bells on his boots!!

Santa Bob was absolutely amazing! We’ve had a few different Santas for our annual Breakfast with Santa client appreciation event in past years, but THIS Santa outshines them all. The individualized attention he gave to each and every child was precious - including the pets that some people brought with them! Highly highly recommend!

Santa Bob was such a pleasure to work with. He worked with my change in schedule and was so great with all the kids! Some Santa's may look the part but don't have the spirit of Christmas in them... Santa Bob was the whole package. I will definitely be booking him for years to come!

We love having Santa Bob at our events. Everyone loves him; the kids, the parents and the staff. He's the real deal and provides a magical time.

Santa Thank you so much for bringing Magic and Christmas Spirit to our community this year. Everyone left with a sparkle in their eye. I would like to share some of the Comments from our Community...

Santa Bob was amazing to work with and so personable with the children! Definitely recommend him for all your Santa needs!

Santa Bob was a huge hit with all our guests young and old!

Santa Bob was awesome! Even during COVID restrictions and distancing he made the Santa visits magical. He talked to everyone and really brought the kids and adults so much joy. We will definitely hire him again!

Santa was amazing. He was so kind and completely engaged with each child he spoke with.

Amazing. Completely amazing. We hired Santa Bob to surprise our son one night. This year has been challenging so we wanted to do something special. From start to finish-it was truly enjoyable. He communicated days before arrival to hash out details. He was so patient and loving and my son was in awe & disbelief the whole time that he had come to visit him. Best Santa Ever. Highly recommend. Thank you for making our Christmas so special!

Santa arrive on time and was very good with the kids. Our event involved our 9 grandchildren and it didn't take up the allotted time. So my only suggestion would be to maybe cut the cost back and allow just an hour or so. We were done in an hour and 15 mins.

It’s really him as he was genuine and warm hearted fellow. Socialized with the kids and made there day even the adults were giving wish’s . The fundraiser was a hit w Santa as raising just one dollar is more then the start of 0. But santa made it priceless

This was a great experience from start to finish. Great communication and perfect execution.

Santa was way beyond our expectations. He was both professional and as courteous as could be. He made sure every child had their own individual "experience" and was focused on providing that. He made sure it was everything a child hopes for, the amount of Christmas magic he brought to their eyes is immeasurable! The adults all loved him as well. From his suit and beard to his voice and demeanor this Santa Bob was awesome. We will definitely be booking him again next year!

I hosted a Ribbon Cutting event that was partnered with the Chamber of Commerce, so this was a bit different as only adults would be at the event. Santa was a hit and added so much to our function. He was engaging with our business partners and potential clients. Our goal for the event was to host a memorable function to highlight our property to the business community. Santa made it as such by bringing the joy of the holidays with his jolly spirit.

One of the best experiences I've ever had booking someone for an event. I had 4 people not show up but Santa showed up early and did a magnificent job. I highly recommend Santa Bob. His attire was top notch and his beard was amazing. The kids adored him and so did the adults. I can't wait until next year when I get to see Santa Bob again. Thanks for being so amazing Santa Bob

I had the privilege of meeting Santa about a year ago in downtown Richmond the night of the Grand Illumination. He is so kind and personable that I have hired him for my own events since. He is the "real deal" and has that true twinkle in his eye! A true gentleman, funny and will make you "believe"! Great guy and I highly recommend Santa (Bob).
