Santa Bartholomew came to visit us on 12/23/2023. He was an amazing Santa! The kids absolutely loved him. He was great with the kids and the adults. Sang songs with the family, did what felt like hundreds of photos! I highly recommend him for your event. We will use him again for sure!
Santa Bartholomew brought wonder and cheer to our family Christmas! He was able to connect with all of the children - from the nervous young ones to the angsty teenagers, and every delighted child in between! He was kind, patient, and willing to take photographs with the whole (very large) group. His warmth and cheer embodied the holiday spirit and we are so grateful to him for making our Christmas memorable!

Santa Bartholomew did an amazing job. Was good with communication, on time, and not only is he a spitting image of what we'd imagine Santa would look like, but was great with our kids and really brought the Christmas spirit. Thank you!

I hope Santa Bartholomew met your expectations. I truly enjoyed my time. I always like talking pictures that are unusual and funny.
We booked Santa Bartholomew for a fundraiser event at Raising Cane's. He was so warm and welcoming to all of our Customers and Crew and the suit was top-notch. He truly brought the Christmas magic!

We had Santa Bartholomew come to our neighborhood party last night and it was absolutely wonderful! I received so many compliments on how amazing he was and the kids totally loved him. He was fully engaged with each and every child and adult. Can't wait to have him back next year!

I'm glad you and your guests had an enjoyable time during Santa Bartholomew visit to your home. I look forward to working with you again.
Santa Bartholomew was interactive with the kids and walked around to engage with the children at our event. I used him for two events and he arrived early to both and stayed in communication prior to the event to ensure he knew all the details so that he could provide the best experience. I will definitely use him again!

Santa Bartholomew was the perfect addition to an office Christmas party hosted at my house. He was on time and very interactive with all of the guests. He handed out party favors I supplied and took many pics with the guests.

Santa Bartholomew was a huge hit at our charity event. He was on time, professional and interacted well with all of our guest. 10/10 i would recommend him and use him again. Thank you! You also helped raise $90,000 for LifeWorks Austin!

Santa was great! He showed up early and also volunteered to stay a few minutes late to get staff photos after the event! Great with the kids! Great presentation as Santa, never broke character.
We have been booking a Santa Claus for our HOA event for years and after booking Santa Bartholomew, I will never book anyone different. Santa Bartholomew was genuine in every way-he looked just like Santa (real beard and amazing Santa suit) and was as gentle and kind as you would imagine the real Santa to be! The kids absolutely loved him and really gravitated to him! He had so much energy too! He was very communicative before the event and even showed up a little early for our event. Highly recommend him!

Santa Bartholomew was on time, was so friendly, and made the photos with Santa a memorable experience for all the residents and kiddos. We will reach out next year for Santa.

As always they were so awesome! Loved them so much I brought them over to another building I'm working at. They had serviced a building I was at for over 5 years and when I left there and came to work at a different location I requested Santa Bartholemew and Mrs. Claus to the building I'm currently at. I love working with them.

Great evening. Excellent job with the teens and near teens!
Wow, this was such an amazing experience. Both Santa and Mrs. Claus went above and beyond. They remembered our Elf on the Shelf's name (and the reindeer too). We did a gift exchange, kid pics, family pics and had a story from Santa, then Mrs. Claus read a story to the kiddos too. This is a memory that will last a lifetime (definitely until next year when we do it again... I'll just book sooner to guarantee I get on Santa Bartholomew nice list.)
Our extended family feels that Santa Bartholomew and Mrs. Claus are part of our family. He knows the children and has been with them as they are growing, from early childhood and into their teen years. He is able to relate past events with the kids. Fun for young and "older" alike.
Mrs. Claus, Santa Claus
Fantastic! A Real Beard Santa with a top tier Santa Suit. Mrs. Claus was an unexpected quality addition to the event! The kids absolutely Loved Santa, who took the time to speak with each one, and knew how to lead the conversations! Very engaging Santa who went the extra mile with a 2 year old in picture taking. Thank you!
Holiday Entertainment, Mrs. Claus, Santa Claus
Santa Bartholomew and Mrs. Claus was absolutely wonderful! From their attire, to their mannerism, to their "ho ho ho" exit, everything was spot on. The kids really enjoyed it and I can't wait to hire them again next year.
Santa and Mrs. Claus were punctual and very sweet. They engaged with every child and encouraged lots of pictures. The kids at our event went through quickly but Mr and Mrs Claus hung out and took pictures with the adults too! I can’t wait to use them again next year!
Mrs. Claus, Santa Claus
Santa Bartholomew and Mrs. Claus were absolutely fantastic to work with! They set expectations beforehand by guiding us on the do's and don'ts, and they showed up on time dressed and ready to go.
They were very gentle and kind to the kids, and were super accommodating and patient with them. We were very impressed with the level of professionalism and warmth they brought to our Breakfast with Santa, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others and to book them again in the future. We would give them a 10 star review if we could!
Holiday Entertainment, Mrs. Claus, Santa Claus
Santa Bartholomew and Mrs. Claus were Amazing! Santa's suit was absolutely Beautiful and his beard is Real! I have never seen a Santa Claus in my lifetime that was as Elegant and Authentic as Santa Bartholomew! Mrs. Claus was just Gorgeous and the perfect compliment to Santa! They showed up early all ready to go and are one of the sweetest couples! Kids were so excited to see Santa & Mrs. Claus! They sat on Santa's lap and told them what they wanted for Christmas, Mrs. Claus read to stories to the children, and we took a group photo before they went back to the North Pole! A magical experience for my 6 year old twin boys Christmas themed birthday party! A memory that all who attended will cherish for life!

We are very pleased to know you were happy with our appearance at your twins Birthday Christmas event. We would be honored if you would please consider us again next year to entertain your guest at your 2019 Birthday and or Christmas event.
This duo is the real deal! Very kind and patient with children. Our event turned out fantastic! We will be using them every year.

Response from Santa Bartholomew:
Thank you for inviting us to share your open house. We truly enjoy meeting you and your guests.
Santa and Mrs. Claus were absolutely fantastic. While we have few little ones we do have a good number of middle school through college "kids" in the family. Santa and Mrs. Claus knew just how to handle this group. There were great! Santa was able to keep the entire family entertained and engaged in the activity. Most of us have grown up with Santa coming on Christmas Eve. Santa and Mrs. Claus are definitely accepted "members" of our family. Thanks for making this such an enjoyable evening.
Santa Bartholomew and Mrs. Claus came to our house on Christmas Eve. We had friends over and their kiddos. They were so sweet with all of our children and Santa even got down on the floor to visit with my shy little one. They were on time and brought the Christmas magic to our party! I would not hesitate to hire them in a second again!
Mrs. Claus, Santa Claus
Response from Santa Bartholomew:
Thank you for having use as part of your holiday season.
This is the second year that we use the Santa and Mrs. clause and had another great experience with them! They were on time, friendly and knew how to handle kids that were scared or crying. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is hiring Santa

Santa and Mrs. Claus were amazing again! This years event was double the size of last years and the kid count for handing out presents was well over 50. They spent time with each child individually and did an amazing job! They arrived early and were ready to go when we were ready for their appearance. We will be calling on them again next year!

We were pleased to learn that you were happy with my appearance at your event and good interaction with all the age groups you had represented there. We would be flattered if you considered us again next year to entertain at your 2018 Christmas event.
We hired Santa Bartholomew and Mrs. Claus for our daughter's 3rd birthday. The kids were thrilled when they showed up! They showed up early, and were in character the entire time. Each child was able to sit on Santa's lap and take a picture with him. I would highly recommend them, and hope to hire them again next year! Thank You!

Response from Santa Bartholomew:
It was a joy being with your family for your daughter's 3rd birthday -- We completely enjoyed being part of in your families special celebration. We hope to be a part of it again next year too! MERRY CHRISTMAS
Santa B and Mrs.Claus were amazing. They arrived early, and were wonderful with our students and families. Both were quick to accommodate littles that were scared or unsure. They were both so kind and gentle, and I will definitely have them back next year for our Breakfast with Santa!
Santa and Mrs. Claus truly exceeded our expectations. They made the children so happy and the entire experience so magical. We will most certainly hire them again next year.
Mrs. Claus, Santa Claus
great santa - worked well with the children
Holiday Entertainment, Mrs. Claus, Santa Claus
Mr. and Mrs. Santa (Bartholomew) were outstanding. They brought so much joy to our family Christmas Eve. With a wide age differences in our family, they knew just what to do and make everyone feel wonderful. Their excitement has carried over to Christmas Day...Thank you a million times over!
Santa Bartholomew has a warm and attentive manner with the children, listened to them closely and acknowledged what they said, without 'baby talk.' He is excellent in assessing the temperament of the child, dealing with both the bold and the shy in just the right way. He is also fantastic with the adults. Mrs Claus is awesome too!
Their costumes are gorgeous, looked authentic and natural.
We had a company party with about 40 children under the age of 10. This was our second year with Santa Bartholomew and we hope to have many more.

Santa And Mrs. Claus were magical !!! They were amazing with kids , on time , and went way beyond to make this event magical !! They truly make Christmas season so magical !! Can't wait to book them next year !!

Santa and mrs Clause attended our Christmas party at our apartment yesterday and I couldn't be more impressed! They arrived early, dressed and ready to go and really looked the part. At our event, families came and went so there was never a line, but instead of just sitting in the chair they interacted with people and even danced with a young girl( it was so cute)! I would definitely recommend Santa Bartholomew and Mrs Claus for your next event!
Mrs. Claus, Santa Claus
Santa and Mrs. Claus showed up for our neighborhood gathering and were amazing! They handed out over 40 gifts for the kids and patiently took pictures with each and every one. They had the children under control and made it a lot of fun. A night the kids will always remember! We will be hiring them again next year!
Santa and Mrs Claus were amazing! They arrived on time and already knew the kids names. Also, they are both very kind. The kids had a wonderful time! Unforgettable! I will surely hire then again next year :)

They both did an amazing job. I will be using Ben again next year for my santa photo mini session. Two thumbs up!

Santa Bartholomew was on time and made everyone feel at ease. He words well with children and knows how to talk with them regardless of their age.
He took the time to hand out presents and talk to each child. Also took time to take "family" pictures as well. Everyone had a great time.
Looking forward to next year!

Santa B showed up early with his Mrs. Clause and they looked amazing--and Entertained our entire party!! This was such a classic touch to our corporate Holiday party. . . Would highly recommend for any Christmas party!! If I were throwing a personal one, I would make sure they were there!! Such a great night.
Santa Claus
Both Santa Bart and Mrs. were wonderful with the kiddos and even adults! Excellent with all ages and activities. Look forward to booking again with them!
Santa Claus
Santa and his wife were awesome!! All the way down to the little details. My daughter was so excited that she met the "REAL Santa instead of those fake Santas like at the mall". He even told her all about his key that worked once a year to allow him to leave gifts in children's houses that don't have fireplaces. I was very impressed and will book him in advance for next year!!
Santa Claus
Santa Bartholomew is wonderful. He is kind, professional, and, importantly, great with children. Our son was thrilled that Santa and Mrs. Claus came to our holiday party. Santa Bartholomew made sure every child got plenty of attention. The kids finished early, so he visited everyone at our party. Santa Bartholomew embodies the spirit of Christmas. He made our event magical.
