We hired Santa for our Tower Theatre Pajama Party, and he was fantastic! He was very friendly, responsive, and truly went the extra mile to make the event magical. He took photos with everyone, spent time meeting with the kids, and made each interaction feel special. We couldn’t have asked for a better Santa!

Santa was nice to have and walked around the car show and took pictures with everyone. We didn’t have a lot of kids coming but the adults did enjoy Santa very much. Thank you Santa.

This BMW club, and others that were not a part of the club, were all were super nice folks, collected a ton of toys, and did a caravan to Shriner's Children's Hospital in Sacramento.
It was my honor to have been a small part.

Thank you Bernard.
I told my granddaughter that I probably would have enjoyed staying even longer with your very fun, kind, respectful group.
Great children...and (even at 141 years old)...I believe that I remembered everything about each...much to their surprise.
Was my pleasure.
happy New Year

On time and ready to go. I was worried at the end we would have a lot of ppl in line still and have to deal with upset children. This didnt happen. Terry was super good with the kids and everything worked out perfect!!! His elf helper was also amazing taking pictures for the guests and helping at all points.

Terry was kind enough to come to our Kinderland daycare on short notice to give our children a nice treat that they will not soon forget.
He was very engaged and professional with the children, his SANTA outfit was extraordinary and the children loved him.
I would highly recommend him for any Holiday event someone may have planned.
I also understand that he undertook to volunteer a few hours of his time to greet many hundreds of children at a church Fall Festival, the same night as he visited with us.

There’s nothing better than spreading joy and happiness watching faces lights up!
Terry Hertz is the REAL SANTA! His charisma and personality draws even the shyest to him. He is loved by everyone and everyone enjoys his presence.
I have known Terry for a while. He’s retired but still works part time as a substitute teacher at grade levels. His natural ability to interact with all ages, adults too, is full pass and enthusiasm.
You and yours would be truly blessed to have him at your next event, party or family gathering.

That was mighty kind of you to send in a review on my attempts to make this most precious of all Holidays, a magical wonder for the children.
May your Christ-mas be as special as your friendship.

About
I will be brief.
Cal Poly grad '71. University of Redlands grad 1973. Vietnam era Veteran with an honorable discharge. (see picts)
Owned a small business for 33 years, which I used to simultaneously support a non profit mission to desperate people, (mostly children) in SE Asia 1983 until present.
Still Teaching part time, in the local public school system.
Have been raising my now 16 year-old granddaughter since 2016. She doubles as my Elf at many events. (Sort of a 2 for 1 deal). Shes a precious gem of a young lady and loves children...'of all ages'.
Our goal will always be to shine the great Light of Love to all whom we are blessed to meet or serve, during this, the most precious and 'magical' of all Seasons.
