Santa Bob was amazing! Even the adults were blown away by how cool this was. And the kids can’t stop talking about seeing Santa! I cannot recommend Santa Bob enough!

Response from Santa MetroWest:
Thank you SO much for the review and 5 stars!
Everyone was "into it" with Santa and made the visit so much fun, THANK YOU!!!
I hosted a brunch in my restaurant with Santa Bob, and he was great to work with. Booking was simple, he arrived on time, and went around the room to greet children, take pictures, and tell stories.

Response from Santa MetroWest:
Wow! Thank you for this review, Greg! I had a wonderful visit to a very nice restaurant! Great people working there who were so welcoming and really made my job easy. Your customers were very excited to visit Santa! I loved my visit! Thanks for everything!
Santa Bob came to us due to the loss of our previous Santa who was loved by all the children. We were understandably concerned how they would respond if they noticed. Our fears were completely unjustified! Santa Bob not only brought stability, he took the experience to a higher level of enjoyment. The children were as excited as ever and Santa Bob's added elements such as the naughty nice list and his explanations of the true spirit of Christmas were a big hit for all of us. We will definitely be calling again next year.
We had the absolute pleasure of have Santa Metrowest come to our home for our family Christmas party. He has to be the most authentic Santa we have seen! The children loved him and enjoyed his story. It was a very memorable evening as a mom watching my kids with him. Thank you!

Santa Metrowest was the absolute best. He made everyone smile from our 3 year old to the adults in the room. We would 100% recommend him and will be reaching out if we ever need a Santa visit in the future!
For the third year in row Santa delivered! Thank you for making Christmas magical for 50 children, and through them us adults. Look forward to seeing you again next year. Get that sleigh fixed!

Santa Bob was fantastic- authentic and the real Santa experience - in my opinion the absolute best you can hire. We had a few kids here and he did an amazing job reading, signing and engaging the kids. We will absolutely hire Santa Bob again next year.

Santa Bob was great with the kids and super easy to coordinate/schedule. Would recommend for sure!
Santa Claus
Couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. He was very authentic and even had the Santa Claus nice leather book that had all the kids information in it. His Santa Claus outfit was very authentic. He was the full package. If you’re looking to make a lifetime of memories for your children or an event I 1000% would hire him again.
Santa arrived on time snd dressed to impress even the non believers. He was patient with my guests and very photogenic. Would definitely recommend this Santa.

Don't think twice about hiring Santa Bob! He is worth every dime and more! He made our family Christmas party pure magic. He told stories, he taught lessons, he joked, he sang, he brought joy to our home. So grateful! Our gransdons will remember his visit for a lifetime 🎅
My son was so happy to see Santa on Christmas!

Santa Bob is hands down the best. His passion and love for his role and the season are unmatched. The children believe in him and he makes any event truly special. This is our second year with Santa Bob, and it certainly won’t be our last! Thank you again Santa for making the night magical!
Had a great time!

Thank you for the invite!
Santa MetroWest arrived early (despite the snow and terrible sleigh-driving conditions) , waited patiently as we were running behind in our plans for the evening, and then entered brilliantly and smoothly led the festivities! He prepared and left our guests joyous and entertained! He was easy to communicate with throughout and did he best with all of our requests! Look no further for your professional Santa - Santa MetroWest is the one !

Thank you Dana!
It was a really fun visit that I hope the children will always remember.
You did a fine job yourself and thank you for the wonderful review!
We had the pleasure of having Metrowest Santa as a surprise guest at our annual Christmas party last night! Upon his timely arrival. Santa immediately was the center of attention singing songs and getting both kids and adults to join in. Santa took the time to hear Christmas wishes of over 20 children and took his time with each and every one. Santa was the highlight of the night and we were so happy to have him attend! His Santa suit is absolutely gorgeous too! Thank you Santa and merry Christmas!
Thank you, Santa Bob!

Response from Santa MetroWest:
Thank you sir! It was a fun visit!
Santa MetroWest was beyond fantastic! He was responsive to any question leading up to our Family party. He was on time and knows how to go with the flow! Not only does he show up and give out gifts, he tells stories and sings a couple Christmas songs with the Kids. He also handed out little "wooden coins" to the kids that said "Santa caught you being good" or something like that.
Thank you Santa MetroWest!!! You are family to us now!
Authentic Santa! Great with the kids.
Santa Claus
Response from Santa MetroWest:
Thank you Chris! Fun night!
When Santa walked through the door my 3 year old grandson was so excited he was jumping with joy. Santa Bob (Metrowest) was great. He got us singing, merrily took pictures with everyone and then took the little ones and the young at heart into a quiet room to read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas which brought tears to the eyes of the little ones' great grandmother. We are so happy to have invited Santa to our home, he was wonderful. Working thru GigSalad made it so easy.

I had a great time and I thank you for being such wonderful hosts!
We had Santa Bob come for my son's first birthday. He read a story, sang Christmas carols and let each kid on his lap. Costume was very authentic, acted with character, came on time!

Response from Santa MetroWest:
Thank you Kristen! Nice review and a great photo to boot!
It was a fun and Santa loved his visit! BTW, most Spanish speaking countries refer to Santa as Santa or Papa Noel.
Smart children there stumping Santa!
I'm not getting stumped on that question again!
Sure, book me by the middle of September if you can, o.k.?
We hired Santa Bob Jordan for our daughters birthday party and he did an AMAZING job! He went above and beyond what we were expecting and I would absolutely hire him again. He took time to read a blurb about each kid (I sent the list to him ahead of time), read them the Night Before Christmas, took pictures and handed out the gifts I bought each child. The best part was the little wooden tokens he gave each child that said they had been caught being good by Santa. His outfit, his interactions with the kids, everything about him, made him feel like the "Real Santa." The kids are still saying "he must be the real Santa, not a helper" and parents are still talking about how great Santa was. I truly thank Santa Bob Jordan for making my daughter's birthday magical. I highly recommend Santa Bob Jordan and have no doubt he will bring magic to your party or event too!

Response from Santa MetroWest:
Oh my God, Lisa, this is just such a moving review, thank you! I mean, this REALLY made my day! I very much enjoyed your party and everyone was wonderful. You let me start a few minutes early so I could get to the next client early (before his kids moved on and left with the grandchildren) and that saved HIS Santa surprise to everyone and he wanted me to thank you for that, and here it is, Thank You Lisa and thank you for throwing a GREAT birthday/Christmas party. You did it up well!
Thank you for picking me for your Santa!
Santa bob was wonderful kids lioved the whole day Highly recommend

Response from Santa MetroWest:

It was a very fun day indeed and hope to be back for you next year!
We were all so impressed with Santa Bob! He was wonderful with the kids. He read them a story, handed out their Christmas gifts for being on the "good list", posed for multiple photos, and sang Jingle Bells. Can't wait for next year!!

Response from Santa MetroWest:

Response from Santa MetroWest:
Thank you so much for this review and for the invitation to join your party, I really had a fun time!
The children presented me with Christmas wishes on post cards in just the greatest, most beautiful big letter envelope I have ever received, THANK YOU!
Your hospitality and participation really made this a fun event and hopefully we can meet up each year as the children grow!
Really, what a fun party, thank you!
The company in which I work for, AIS, hosted an employee family Christmas party. I hired Santa Bob Jordan and could not be happier with his service. He arrived early for the event and was wearing an authentic Santa suit. He had bells attached to his boots so he was jingling as he walked down the hall, which excited the little ones. He was also very comical, which is great for the parents. He had each child on his knee and asked a few questions and posed for a picture. It was a lot of fun and I highly recommend him!

Thank you so much Megan for not only taking the time to post a review of my visit, but, just leaving such a wonderful review! Santa takes his job very seriously but that hardly means he's a stuffed shirt, he LOVES getting everyone laughing! - Thank you, Santa Bob Jordan
Santa Bob Jordan was booked to visit my 95 year old mother on Dec 19, 2015 to thank her for having answered Santa letters from the Framingham Post Office for 40 years. His visit was warm and will give all of us very fond memories for the rest of our lives. Mom was stunned because he really looks like Santa and then she shed some tears of happiness. She called me later in the evening saying she just couldn't stop smiling and singing. This Santa truly is the persona of St. Nick...a true professional operating from his very warm heart and passion for the true Christmas season. He was very attuned to those around him and shared many interesting facts about Santa. You really need to book this Santa!!
