I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Santa and Mrs. Claus were such a delight to have and the perfect addition to our neighborhood Christmas party. There were about 15 children under the age of 5 at my house and Santa and Mrs. Claus did a wonderful job reading stories, interacting, and simply going with the flow! It was perfect.

Santa-2-U communicates very well, called prior to our event to coordinate times and where to arrive, he showed up early ready to go. He saw hundreds of kids, made some wishes come true and made quite an impression at our event. He stayed after and walked the entire Children's Hospital with our nursing House Supervisor and gave each child he had contact with all the attention they needed to make Christmas in the hospital better. He has our thanks and definitely a positive recommendation. Thank you, Santa!

Thank you, Ashtyn - It was a delightful time with your lovely family and friends. Merry Christmas!
Santa-2-U did an amazing job at our event for the public. We hosted a "free photo with Santa" event with cookies and crafts. He was great at getting the kids to focus on taking the picture first so we could print them, then he was able to talk with each kid a little bit. He was on time, very personable, and really made our event a success! Several people wanted business cards or his contact info for their Santa needs as well! I really cannot recommend Santa-2-U enough.
