Thank you for having me as your Santa Claus.
I enjoyed the birthday party and all children that visited with me.
Merry Christmas. Santa Boaz
Santa Boaz was outstanding. Our firm hired him for our client appreciation "Breakfast with Santa" event and he did an amazing job. The kids loved him, and so did the adults. 100% recommend him for your event.
I hired Santa Boaz to come help me wake my grown-a$$ kids up on Christmas morning. I usually do something to scare them every Christmas morning (weird tradition, but they love it). Not only did Santa show up on time, he showed on on CHRISTMAS MORNING in freezing weather! He helped me wake them up, read them a book and let us take pictures. Although this was more for giggles, he played right along and had us all laughing! His story about Santa coming to Texas was so funny!
I highly recommend Santa Boaz and will hire him again next time I need a Santa!

Michelle,
I finished my last Santa visit at 2:00am Christmas morning. Your 6:30am Christmas Day visit was interesting.
I had fun with your family and even though they are adults they played along. I should have stayed longer and had breakfast with you all. I look forward to my next visit.
Merry Christmas. Santa Boaz
We had a great time with Santa Boaz. He’s sweet and friendly.

Santa did an amazing job coming down from the North Pole and surprising someone for me. Honestly, it was a pretty awesome experience. 10 out of 10 we had a really good time. Definitely has the “Santa magic” touch you would think Santa would have. #Jingle bells thank for Santa for visiting!

I appreciate the review. Thank you.
I was grateful to be included in the opening of your dental practice (Brident Dental). Everyone was friendly including the dentist. I appreciate her cleaning Santa's teeth.
Santa will be coming to you for his annual exams. The dentist had a soft touch.
Merry Christmas to all at Brident Dental.
Santa Boaz was very communicative and helpful in the planning process. Very punctual and fun for all ages. Looking forward to working with him again!

I appreciate the feedback. Thank you.
Santa also had fun. I look forward to next year.
Merry Christmas. Santa Boaz
Santa Boaz exceeded every expectation I had! For being such a busy Santa, he was certainly in a great mood, full of energy and our guests thoroughly enjoyed getting the opportunity for some private conversations to express their wish lists with Santa as well as getting some great photos. Santa also arrived right on schedule and added excitement to our event. He also felt no rush to leave quickly and devoted his full attention to our guests. I'm a big fan!

Mary,
Thank you soooo much for the wonderful review. I enjoyed the Christmas Holiday event and having fun with all the children and families. They were delightful. I try my best to make each visit - all about the children. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Santa Boaz
We had our first booking with Santa Boaz and it was great fun. We hosted Senior Trade Shows for senior citizens and they absolutely loved having their picture taken with Santa. He was such a good sport allowing some of our adult exhibitors and senior citizens to sit on his lap. Santa Boaz is good-spirited, kind, and professional. He was a great addition to our holiday themed event.

Response from Santa Boaz:
Lisa,
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. The senior citizen were so much fun. It felt like they were children again. I am pleased they all had a chance to visit me - Santa Boaz. I cannot tell you what some of them wished for. Watch out world here they come.
We were invited to a private event to provide live music/entertainment. I must say, Santa Boaz stole the show! Great with kids, adults and musicians!
10/10 would recommend Santa Boaz for any event!!
Thanks for rocking out with us Santa!
Santa Claus, Holiday Entertainment
My children had an amazing time with Santa. Thank you so much for doing what you do. You have a very special place in our hearts.
We’ve had wonderful Santa’s in the past but Santa Boaz has definitely been the most interactive of them all.
He was patient with our 15 & 18 months toddlers but he could have been a bit more energetic and in the santa character.
Santa Claus
We ABSOLUTELY LOVE Santa Boaz! We host a Santa each year for our customers and their families and he is just the best! He truly loves what he does and is FANTASTIC with the kids. He listens to each one of them as if he's making a list and checking it twice. We look forward to this event each year.

Sandra,
It was a pleasure visiting with you and your family. I had a good time reading to them.
The boys loved the bells.
Thank you so much for the Christmas card and generous gift. It is much appreciated.
Santa Boaz
As usual Santa Boaz was amazing. We use him yearly for our children’s Christmas party! I can’t imagine having another Santa! He is the real deal. Even during Covid he made the experience special and as amazing as every!
Was very flexible Understood children well. Would use him again.
From beginning to end could not have been better. Our little girl is still talking about it
Was not worth that money. He didn't pass out the gifts, told my family members he didn't care about them, and then had my 80 yr old mom sit on his lap saying ridiculous things. The problem was he didn't do what I sent him to do. It seemed like he was drinking. I can't be sure, but he wasn't even dressed when he got here, which made it hard to stall without giving the surprise away. It took him 15 min to dress outside, and by then they were all guessing what was going on. It ruined the whole surprise. I was so upset. I wanted it to be perfect, but I was totally letdown. I'm out $175.00 for what???

I am sorry you feel this way about the Santa Visit that you wrote on 01/01/19 at 1:25am.
I wish you and your family a wonderful 2019.
Captivating & merry! Santa Boaz made 9 children, ages 10 to 2, Believe in his special Magic, and 14 adults too. His demeanor was the perfect blend of controlling the crowd and patiently listening and conversing with each child. He made this family have a Tiny Christmas miracle!
Santa Claus
Santa Boaz attended our family Christmas party and entertained children & adults of all ages. He was kind and patient as we took Lots of pictures with children and families! Would highly recommend.

Maria,
Thank you for the excellent review. I enjoyed meeting your family and the interaction. Santa Boaz
We hold an event in partnership with the Houston Rockets each year. We donate 100 beds to local children in need. It is very important that the event is kid-focused. Hiring Santa Boaz was the best decision! Our previous Santa had to cancel last minute and Santa Boaz was able to assist us in a short notice. He was very professional, arrived on-time, and was very kind. He was Incredible with the kids. I'm sure the kids were overwhelmed and excited to see him and he handled the chaos like a champ. He knew exactly how to be playful with them and he even walked around and interacted with the kids and their families when the photos were done. His costume was beautiful and you could tell he takes great pride in his work. But, best of all, he just loved on the kids for a good two hours and you could tell it meant the world to them.

Response from Santa Boaz:
Brittany,
Thank you for the outstanding review. The compliments and thanks should go to Ashley HomeStore and the Houston Rockets. You all gave the children a gift of love and caring and your volunteers were there every step of the way. . My heart was trilled to see their faces and exhilaration when you told them that they were receiving the beds as a gift. Not only did you donate the beds, you also gave the mattresses, sheets, pillows, books and other wonderful gifts and to top it off you delivered the beds to each home. The children also got dinner, a tour of the Houston Rockets locker room, autographed pictures of Houston Rockets Stars and photos with Santa Claus. You are to be commended. Thank you as a fellow Houstonian. This was truly a joyful event.
I have been hosting a Santa Party for the last 4 years. This was the first year we had Santa Boaz visit with the kids. He was amazing and the kids loved him. I will definitely want to book him again.
