Santa Joe was absolutely amazing visiting the residents at my facility! Words can not convey the smiling faces and Christmas Joy that was shared with my residents and staff!!!

Response from Santa with Joe:
Thanks for having me this year Ashley. It was a fun time with the Choir and the residents! As Santa, seeing people smile and giving them a little cheer at this time of year is the best! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Santa Joe was amazing. He was so flexible with our event and families. He was a jolly character and the kids fell in love with him. Some of our kiddos require a little extra time and attention and Santa adapted to each kiddo. We had several adults that took photos too and Santa gave just the right energy. We had one family that was too overwhelmed to come inside and by some a Christmas miracle Santa caught them in the parking lot and was able to say hello and give the family a memory I’m sure they will hold dear. Can’t say enough great things, the photos were amazing and are already hanging on mantles across Indy. We can’t wait for next year!

Ellen,
What a great event! From the parking lot to the very end, it's important to be Santa for everyone, make them feel comfortable and of course, make the visit fun! It was a fun time with the Choir and the residents! As Santa, seeing people smile and giving them a little cheer at this time of year is the best! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Santa Joe came to a holiday for kids and adults and he was fantastic! While acknowledging the adults, he understood that the kids were the focus of the visit! We had about 8 kids, under the age of 7 and they all enjoyed having Santa stop by! One little boy kept saying, “This is the best day ever!” Santa Joe was prompt, professional and even stayed a few minutes more than requested to make sure the kids had time with Santa and the families were able to get photos! Several of us talked and we're looking forward to having him back again for Christmas 2024!

Thanks for having me again this year Mr. Stoffel! Great seeing your entire family again! Until next year, have a Merry Christmas and a fantastic 2025! -Joe aka Santa
We recently hired Joe to be Santa Claus for our Holiday party, and he was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment he arrived, he embodied the spirit of Santa Claus with such authenticity that both children and adults were entranced. Joe didn't just pass out toys and take pictures—he genuinely engaged with everyone, spreading joy and cheer throughout the event.
One of the highlights of the evening was Joe's exceptional crowd management. He ensured that everyone had a chance to meet him without feeling rushed, and his warm, jolly demeanor made the experience magical for everyone.
Joe's presence elevated our holiday celebration, creating memories that will be cherished for years to come. We highly recommend Joe for any event that requires a Santa who is not only believable but also a joy to have around. Thank you, Joe, for making our holiday party unforgettable!

Response from Santa with Joe:
Thanks again for having me! Happy new year to you, your entire family!
Santa Joe was perfect! It made our celebration that much more magical! The children were captivated by him. Santa knew he was primarily there for the children yet he still made time to interact with all the ages. He was also very good with the children who were nervous, scared or just not having it. I’ll definitely be booking him again next year!
He is so wonderful and calm with us through the entire time he spent with us and he is accommodating as well

Joe was the best Santa for our Annual Holiday party. He was awesome, kind, and treated everyone so great. He arrived on time, dressed in a perfect Santa costume, and had a jolly personality. He interacted with the kids and adults alike and posed for pictures. He made everyone feel the holiday spirit and brought smiles to our faces. He was professional, courteous, and respectful throughout the event. He was a joy to work with and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Santa for their party. Thank you, Joe, for making our party a memorable one!
