Santa Bob & Colleagues

Santa Bob is a local favorite for the East Side San Jose Library community. They arrive on time and stay in character the entire time. Santa Bob really engages with the children not rushing them to share with him which is a bonus for particularly shy children. They also bring small gifts to share with the children which gives the entire experience a more personalized feeling than you would get from Santa experiences at other locations. We hope to be able to book Santa Bob and Mrs. Claus for our future holiday events.

Such a magical experience for our family; adults and children. The kids that were on the fence about being "believers" became FULL believers again after Santa Bob's visit. He looks just like the REAL Santa, remains in character, is super engaging with kids, captivating to adults and children alike. Santa Bob has a real special magic to him. Highly recommend. He made our Christmas 2023 one to remember forever, and we are so thankful and grateful. Santa Bob is very professional, organized and easy to work with. Mrs. Claus was a BIG hit too amongst the kids. So authentic and sweet.

Thank you Santa Bob and Mrs. Claus for making our 2023 Christmas so special and so memorable. We are forever grateful to have the experience and memory.

Wow! Our family was absolutely thrilled with Santa Bob’s visit. The grandkids light up every time they talk about his stories – especially the reindeer, and everyone enjoyed each second. The gifts Santa Bob brought were a huge hit. Thank you so much!!!

We had such a blast with Santa and Mrs. Claus this year. This was our second year in a row using him and he was so wonderful. He interacted with the kids, took photos and played a game! We had about 30 kids and Santa handled it all with ease and grace.

Santa Bob made everyone (children and adults) feel comfortable and interacted with the children well and spent time individually with them. He read stories and encouraged the children to tell one of their own stories. He made Christmas extra special for my grandchildren. Thank you Santa Bob!

Santa Bob and Mrs Claus were both patient, kind, and cheerful. All details were organized and communicated, overall great visit and families enjoyed them both.

This is our second year using Santa and Mrs. Claus. We had the best time. We had around 25 children and he made them all feel so comfortable by visiting and doing Q&A session before having the kids sit next to him for photos. My son was 3 last year and was nervous seeing Santa but this year he was all for it!! We had nothing but big smiles from all the kids.

Huge gratitude to Santa Bob for making our biggest client event truly magical! His warmth and patience spread joy, earning rave reviews from parents and countless high fives from excited kids. Santa Bob worked wonders, turning even skeptics into true believers. We can't thank him enough for adding that special touch to our holiday festivities. Highly grateful and highly recommended! 🎅✨

Santa Bob is absolutely amazing. Would book again

We were very happy with our visit with Santa Bob. Scheduling was easy and there was good communications along the way so we were clear on the logistics. Santa Bob showed up right at the scheduled time (when we had planned for santa tracker to get to our area). My nephews said later he was in shock and it was the most amazing xmas ever. We would definitely recommend, and would love to have Santa Bob visit us again for future years too.

Bob is one of those people whom you meet and you don’t ever want to let go. From our very first phone conversation (he even did greeted with Ho Ho Ho for me. I was taken back to childhood for a brief moment), to his continued communication throughout the process.
He took so much time with each child ; Making even the teenagers laugh and giggle.
His sweet gentle nature and his commitment to being a real life Santa Claus 🎅 had all of the parents and onlookers in full amazement. We all had to pinch ourselves.
He is by far THE BEST SANTA (and I’ve seen a lot of a beautiful Santa’s as a social country clubber).
I’m fearful to share because I don’t want to lose out on his services, but if you’ve read this don’t think twice. He’s the Real Santa 🎅

We had a wonderful experience with Santa Bob! He made our Christmas Magical and unforgettable!

Santa Bob was the best Santa I have seen since I was a kid. Not only was the Storytime fun and informative for the older kids who understood his descriptions of the North Pole and how things work there but when we moved on to our meet and greet, he spent a long time talking to each child and asking them about themselves and talking about random things before asking them what they wanted for Christmas. He took the time to try and sooth scared children and continued to smile and be jolly when the babies came up crying. Everyone was extremely happy with their experiences and we had many patrons send us Thank you letters and express their happiness with the program. I really loved how Santa and Mrs. Claus interacted with each other and all of our patrons. Their chemistry was amazing and they did a wonderful job bringing the holiday spirit to our tiny little library. I would love to have Santa Bob and Mrs. Claus return every year for our Christmas Programs at the Pearl Avenue Branch Library.

This is the third year using Santa Bob and we will be using him again next year! He takes time to learn your children so he can talk about all their accomplishments, it’s really such a magical experience for the kids. This year we had Mrs. Claus join and she read the kids a book. It was so cute and the kids absolutely loved it! I highly recommend!

From planning to the day of the event, Santa Bob has been professional, engaging, and all-around a delight to work with. He and Mrs. Claus spent time making each and every child (and their parents) feel special. It was a truly magical encounter for everyone.

Santa Bob took the time to sit and chat with all of my students. He took pictures and made everyone feel special. He even read a funny Christmas story. Will definitely ask him back next year!

Santa Bob came to my library for a Christmas program. He was wonderful. He really seems to embody the spirit of Santa in the way that he talks and interacts with children and parents. The families who came to our program loved him. I will definitely try to book him again for future Christmas programs.

Santa Bob did pretty well on storyteller and Santa Claus on Dec. 17th, 2022 at Hillview Branch Library. All participants were very satisfied with his performance. Thanks for being Santa Claus for Hillview community taking the pictures with you. Wish to work with you again in 2023. Happy New Year!

Santa Bob in a past life had to be the real Santa. From the moment he walked down the hallway jingling the bells, the way he was with my children, talking about his elf on the shelf. Reading a book, bringing small presents. It was a magical experience and the highlight of my daughters Christmas! Santa Bob truly is the best! We were fortune enough to do virtual visits with him the previous 2 years and I’m thankful he was able to do a in person visit with us this year. I’m already looking forward to next year.

Oh the memories he helps create are just wonderful!

Santa Bob came to our preschool for our holiday party. He was extremely communicative and flexible. The children loved him and the parents were extremely impressed with how realistic of a Santa he was! Planning to book him again for next year!!

Santa Bob was fantastic. He was very organized (started by hugging the kids, asked them questions, explained the north pole a bit, read book, picture time) which made the event perfectly timed.
I loved seeing the smiles on the kids face when he arrived <3
Only hiccup was the timing of arrival, which I was under the impression would have been 30 minutes prior to the actual arrival (he mentioned he sent email with updated arrival schedule, I just never received the email).
But the small hiccup is not enough to lower his rating. 10/10 recommend!

Got the job done as usual. Excellent!

I went with your company because of Santa Bob reviews. I felt he was a Real Santa. However he was sick and so we had Santa Rick . Turns out I was sick as well but my family said he did a pretty good job. We were very thankful our kids got to see Santa that night .

I apologize in advance for the long review, but I leave them so rarely and this one is so deserving.
I am a photographer and wanted to offer Santa sessions to my clients. Before hiring Santa Bob I had never hired a Santa before and honestly didn't know what to expect? I've seen Mall Santas all my life - guessed it would be the same? NOT.EVEN.CLOSE Since then I have had to work with other "Santas" (only when Bob wasn't available!) and if I wasn't sure before, I am now. Santa Bob is the one and only. I book him a year in advance now! Yes, he smiles when prompted to look at the camera - but he really does SO much more.
* He's ALWAYS ready and has adorable prompts and poses that give so much life to the images. An example would be acting like he's also asleep when holding a sleeping baby, rooting on the kids with very expressive emotions when they're talking to him (or dancing for him as was the case this year a few times lol)
* He is a fountain of knowledge - I am not exaggerating when I say I have a few clients with extraordinarily smart kids. Their endless questions never stump Santa Bob. He always has a very thought out, detailed and informational response.
* He has experience working with children with autism, which is huge. I had a client in tears because she never thought her little one would cooperate for portraits - let alone enjoy himself.
* He can be both quiet and calm, or fun and loud ho-hos - but he reads the child. Plays off their cues to see what they need and will respond to.
* He genuinely enjoys his time with the kids. He makes it so that these portrait sessions are NOT just pictures. For the kids who come to see him it is an experience. One I'm so jealous my own kids didn't get to experience in their youth.
If you've been looking around for the perfect Santa, there really is no one better.

Santa was amazing. He talked with each child and read them all stories. All of the parents enjoyed Santa as well. He is the real thing!!! He is a must have for you event.

Santa Bob is the best 🎄and Mrs. Clause too! We can’t wait to hire them next year

I am a photographer and hired Santa bob for an outdoor session. He was really friendly with kids, talking to them, making them comfortable and giving them the best experience possible. I would recommend him a 100%.

A true Santa.

Santa Bob was great! We didn't get as a big of a turn out due to the weather but those who came were appreciative. Santa Bob was jolly, very friendly and the kids really enjoyed him. I highly recommend.

We all had an amazing time with Santa bob and Mrs. Claus. The children loved it. They were so incredibly sweet. I can’t wait to book for next year!

Santa Bob was so helpful in our planning and was the absolute best!

Santa Bob did a party for our clients and was the best. His appearance is spot on and the kids were all so excited. He is personable, punctual, professional and never breaks character. Everyone loved their time with him and the adults didn't hold back making sure they too got their photos with Santa. His communication is excellent and I cannot say enough wonderful things about him.

Santa Bob is the ultimate!! This gent showed up on time, dressed to the 9s. We were having both kids and pets visiting with him, so Santa Bob brought a special lap blanket that his wife made for the occasion. Santa Bob brought little gifts for the kiddos and books to read. When he read The Night Before Christmas, he explained to the kids that the book was written 100 years ago, and explained the meaning behind some of the words and phrases. We filmed some content, and Santa Bob was ON! He had the best presence and personality. 10/10 would recommend Santa Bob.

The kids were so happy. 4 days after they keep talking about it. Thanks so much, you made this family happy and ☺ I'm forever grateful 🙏.

Santa Bob did an amazing job keeping the grandkids engaged. Was such a fun time for all

Santa Bob is simply the best. Great communicator, very friendly the kids absolutely love him. This was the second year in a row that Santa Bob has been able to provide the magic.

Our children still talk about the “talk” they had with Santa. Already can’t wait for next year!

Great job. He was amazing. Such a treat for everyone.

The children loved this experience! Very engaging. All the adults at the party enjoyed viewing as well. We would definitely recommend!

Santa Bob was the greatest decision for our event. Virtual Santa just made so much more sense amidst the pandemic and we didn't have to fear the littlest ones feeling afraid of him. Santa studied the script and was right on point regarding every sweet little detail about our little ones. In addition, my in-laws were in town from Dubai experiencing their very first Christmas. Just as instructed, he personally greeted them too! If you are on the fence, just do it. Santa Bob is the best!!!

We love Santa Bob. It was quick and easy to book him online. He responded very quick with our questions.
I would definitely book Santa Bob again next year. He made all the kids felt special and they all believe Santa is real.
Thank you again, Santa Bob.

Santa Bob was AWESOME...despite my kiddos really being too young for the virtual experience (which Santa Bob warned me about). The day was kind of a mess, some kids were there, some were late....we ran into technical difficulties so we ended up on a laptop in the garage, c'est la vie! This didn't deter Santa Bob, he was so pleasant and in fantastic character! He had taken the time to learn about each child and did a great job engaging with them. At the end of the visit he read the kids a story, it was so sweet! It was a great memory (for the parents) and we even got a few great photos. Really couldn't recommend Santa Bob more, great alternative in this strange COVID world we're all navigating!

My son loves his virtual calls with Santa Bob. Santa Bob does so well at personalizing the call and makes it truly magical for the little ones.

We have hired Santa Bob two years in a row. He’s simply the best. He called right on time, looked wonderful in his cozy den in the North Pole, and our grandson had the best time telling him what he wants for Christmas, and answering questions from Santa about friends, school, and football. Such a good time! I highly recommend Santa Bob!

We can’t thank Santa Bob enough! He did a fabulous job on a call with our 3 boys! Our oldest kept thanking me afterwards & said meeting Santa was “a dream come true”. Thanks Santa Bob for all your attention to detail & truly making meeting “the Real Santa” a huge success!

Santa Bob was amazing! My three-year-old son absolutely loved this experience, and I will definitely do it again.

Santa Bob was amazing kids loved him he looks like the real deal. He took his time to talk to the kids absolutely awesome!!

Initially I thought having a Santa come to the house was the ideal and only way to give the kids that experience however upon learning of Santa Bob's zoom calls I quickly came to see how much better this is as Santa is able to prepare ahead of time and tailor each interaction with each child so they feel like Santa really does know them. One of the kids even said afterwards that this was the REAL Santa and not the helpers we see in the malls. We had the opportunity to include Mrs Claus in the event and she also did a wonderful job with the kids. All of my guests were very impressed at how professional and into character Santa and Mrs Claus were. By far the best to hire for your event!

My kids met with Santa Bob with their best friends at school, who they haven't seen for a couple of months. They asked funny questions and Santa Bob just played with them with wonderful stories. All of the kids had ton of laughter and fun. We would definitely reach out to Santa Bob again next year.

Santa Bob and Mrs. Claus surprised my students with a special Zoom bedtime story night. They were absolutely wonderful! They read three bedtime stories to the children and answered their questions about the North Pole, the elves, the reindeer--expert answers! I 100% recommend Santa Bob!

What a magical gift for my daughter! Santa Bob is so genuine and engaging! Can't wait to call him again next year!

Santa Bob really went above and beyond all of our expectations! He was so quick to respond and reached out to keep us updated often. We hired him to do 50+ personalized santa videos for our Moms club and all our members were also pleasantly surprised with the videos and how they turned out with. He really captured Christmas spirt and brought cheer and joy into all of our homes this year. One of our members even commented that "it brought tears to her eyes" watching the expression on her Childs face seeing Santas Bobs video! I would HIGHLY recommend him and hope to use him again next year. Thanks so much (:

Santa Bob the was great with the kids & he got them to participate in conversation! They were so excited & in aw.

My kids were so engaged and excited to "meet" Santa! Such a great way to see him virtually. Very personal. I highly recommend and will consider for next year!

We could not be happier with our Santa Bob Zoom session with our Grandkids. The best Santa we have known brought a great persona and easily connected with each of our four Grandkids aged 5 - 17 -- not an easy task! Wonderful back stories and jokes abound. Thank you for the unique and special memory created in just a short time. Hope you enjoyed the milk and cookies.

We have had Santa Bob in our lives for the past 3 years and for this year we weren't quite sure how it was going to play out. The kids LOVE him and is always part of our tradition. When Santa Bob proposed the video call, I had the utmost respect for him for recognizing safety first and foremost. I also had every belief that he will impress us (again) with how this was going to happen. He reached out with specific questions beforehand which allowed him to know more about the kids (and let them connect back with him with the latest and greatest achievements or new interests!) and also asked for any messages on the parents' behalf. This was so great in tying it all in for us, like an end of the year message for the kids. The call itself was super smooth. With California's stricter shelter-in-place, we couldn't mix households last minute and he allowed our call to be from both households for the same cost. Santa himself is the friendliest, most caring, most genuine guy, even the parents love him. If you're thinking twice, THIS IS THE WAY TO GO, go for it! My 4 year old thought it was still magical. I wasn't sure how I would just start all of a sudden zooming with him so last minute, I scribbled a note and slipped it under the front door and it said, Log in to Zoom! Love, Santa. And for 5 minutes, my 4 year old was beside himself, wondering if this was real or not, is Santa really zooming? What's going on! And when he connected and popped up, man was he happy! Thank you Santa Bob, and for families out there, this is the safest and greatest! So worth the price and much more <3

Santa Bob provided and extraordinary visit. The grandchildren are still remarking how much Santa know about them! They were transformed from pandemic doldrums to excitement and wonderment and expectation of Santa. Santa Bob not only talked about the North Pole and what gifts were desired, he also gave a message of good and giving. Even the twelve year old showed puzzlement as to whether or not there is a Santa. Will continue visiting Santa...believing or not...the wonderment created, the smiles, and discussion afterwards made Christmas special.

To make Christmas extra special this year, we hired Santa Bob for a Christmas Eve zoom call with our four year old grandson. Santa was absolutely wonderful! The setting was beautiful, his costume was fabulous, and he was so very sweet, thoughtful and kind in the way he spoke with our grandson. It was a night we will never forget. We’re so happy to have found Santa Bob, and will definitely look forward to another visit the next time we have our little ones here at Christmas. Very impressed with the whole process, start to finish!

Santa Bob was wonderful. He engaged very well with my granddaughters. The girls could not believe how Santa was able to know so many things about them. His conversation was natural and flowed so well. The girls told me later that they wanted to talked to him longer. Thank you so much Santa Bob - you are the best!

Santa Bob is simply the best Santa anyone could want. He is organized, responds to emails and questions and is so patient with any changes that may be need to be made. Most of all, though, he has the best personality and is so good with kids of all ages. He engages them and lets them know that “his elves” have let him know about their accomplishments, interests, families, and of course the gifts on their lists. He is funny, tells cute jokes, encourages dancing or singing if time permits and the kids and adults are captivated. He also has an amazing interactive virtual background, great Santa costume and a real beard! What a joy for all and the recording of the call is such a nice keepsake for the family. Thank you, Santa Bob, for making the visits so special.

We absolutely loved our Santa zoom visit! It was so fun and realistic that I want to do this every year vs the actual in person. My kids cannot stop talking about it! Santa was incredible, the best Santa we’ve ever had the pleasure of “seeing”

Our preschool staff thought Covid restrictions would mean no visit from Santa this year. When I asked Santa Bob about his availability to do something remotely, I had no idea how prepared he would be to provide a Zoom-ed in visit from Santa. It was real time, interactive, personal to each child, and filled with sharing of a very joyful spirit. Thank you Santa Bob for a really wonderful and unforgettable Christmas event for our preschool children.

Santa Bob was so easy to work with to get the virtual holiday event set up for our company! I highly recommend him for all your Santa needs!

Santa Bob was a hit! He was warm and friendly and had great conversations with the kids. Kids loved him!!!!

I didn’t know what to expect when I booked a zoom call with Santa and it was better than I ever expected. Santa Bob was amazing and the kids loved it. Thank you again!!

Santa Bob was amazing! So engaging and personal it was the best Santa experience my children have ever had! I will continue to do this every year. I suggest to meet Santa Bob!

We had Santa Bob Coke to our preschool in 2019, he was awesome so we had him visit us virtually for 2020. HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! He was personal, jolly and professional. We look forward to seeing him in person for the 2021 Holiday Season!🎄🎅💕

Santa Bob and Mrs. Claus were wonderful for our virtual company event! They read stories to the kids and did a great job answering questions during our Q&A. Thanks, Santa Bob & Mrs. Claus!

Santa Bob was very friendly and personable. The whole experience was easily arranged and the kids loved him. Santa really talked with the kids and told them some inside secrets about the North Pole. I think even without a pandemic going on, this is the way to go as we don’t have to find parking at the mall or wait In a line. We even got a video of the experience!

We have been hiring Santa Bob for our in-person and now virtual programming for several years now and he has been amazing. He was incredibly flexible moving to Zoom this year with the pandemic. All of our families really enjoyed Santa Bob and he is incredibly easy to work with. I highly recommend him for any Santa experience.

Ok so it wasn’t as good as sitting on Santa’s lap, but Santa Bob made it worth our while. He took the time to address each child with info we provided and they were amazed what Santa knew about them. He also provided other details about his workshop, power, and a few jokes that I am sure we will hear for months

10 minutes was enough for my kids to smile while talking to Santa on Zoom.
Very good experience, very worth it.

Our virtual visit with Santa Bob was the perfect way to connect with Santa in 2020. It was personable, thoughtful, personalized, warm, celebratory, and safe. Our children were thrilled to be able to speak with Santa and Mrs. Claus while at their home in the North Pole, and Santa Bob made me believe once again.

Santa was so thoughtful and engaging! He takes the time to memorize details about your little ones from the questionnaire provided ahead of time. Highly highly recommend for a great experience!!

Great way for kids to interact with Santa during covid. The experience was so awesome that we will do this again even when we don’t have to deal with covid. His interaction with the little ones was so memorable and seeing the joy on the kids faces was priceless. The North Pole setting was perfection.
We definitely would recommend Santa Bob to anyone.

Bob was amazing with our kids 6.5 and 3.5. He answered all their questions patiently. He had a "Santa appropriate" answer for all their questions. We also got a video at the end of the session. Great experience ! Thank You.

Had a great zoom alternative this year. His background was cool and the girls all enjoyed being able to have conversations with him. Everything was as expected and it brought joy to my girls. They were so excited dressing up for him.
I wish I had gotten a screen shot and it would've been cool to get a recording, but much of that was our fault because our system had a glitch in the beginning which threw everybody off. Perhaps we can try it again in person next time! I would highly recommend Santa Bob for any Santa need or occasion.

Santa Bob was great with the kids!! Very interactive!! My 3 girls loved it!!! Definitely will be using him again!!

It was our first year doing it because of covid, but do not regret it! Santa was on time and patient with kids and us trying to coordinate thru zoom. He was amazing on being jolly and merry from keeping his character and asking the kids their wishlist. The kids were super excited and some of the in between believers definitely believe now! Thank you so much!

My kids (ages 5 and 8 years old) don't have many more years where they will be interested in a Santa visit. I knew we couldn't skip out on Santa this year, but I didn't want to pay $100+ for a Zoom Santa visit at a random online company. I was thrilled to find Santa Bob and support a local (Bay Area) Santa. He was very reasonably priced and looked like a real Santa. However, his price or looks didn't compare to how skilled he was. He communicated with us ahead of time and gathering lots of information about our children (adding many of those details into the call.) At one point my 5 year old screamed, "He knows everything!!" Santa Bob also did a great job navigating the 10 minute call when my children were too star stuck to speak. He told jokes, asked my kids to show their dance moves, and asked engaging questions. He was great at maintaining small detail that made any questions my 8 year old might have about Santa's authenticity go out the window (halfway through the call he casually sipped water out of a Santa face mug and the adults all laughed.) Santa Bob also let grandparents log on to the Zoom call at the same time and experience this moment together. I don't know how we are going to go back to a rushed Santa Mall visit next year after having this wonderful engagement. I couldn't recommend Santa Bob enough. He truly brought joy back into 2020.

Santa Bob did a really terrific job of making our kiddos feel special. We had some tech challenges and he rolled with it, and he had some great ideas of his own to share (stories and jokes and a 'call' to check on the 'naughty/nice' list). Each of his additions were perfect - we should have trusted him from the beginning. I can't recommend him highly enough. While none of us want to be 'virtual', this is how it's done right! Unfortunately I can't add photos due to confidentiality, but believe me when I say the grins couldn't have been bigger. One kiddo threw his hands over his head when Santa Bob confirmed with his elves that 'Bobby' was on the 'nice' list. Absolutely perfect start to finish.

Very professional and jolly. Santa Bob set up his own Zoom, was reliable and very believable. He requested information about each child ahead of time so he knew about each when speaking to them and asking what they wanted for Christmas. A great experience.

We did a event for our clients family so that kids can talk to Santa during this pandemic. Santa Bob was so easy to work with, always helpful and giving suggestions and was just a pleasure to work with. Even as an adult, speaking to him sparked the child in me and made me excited for Christmas! After the event we got 100% positive responses from our clients and some even asked for his contact information so that they may be able to use Santa Bob for their corporate event. He is very thorough and asked for a lot of background of each child, the children's eyes lit up when he mentioned things that only Santa or their family would know! I would work with Santa Bob in a heartbeat!!

Where do I begin?! Santa Bob is INCREDIBLE! He is punctual, friendly, professional, and truly incredible at what he does. Santa Bob was accommodating to our schedule updates and was always on-time and happy to be there. He also has a great Virtual Santa set-up and understands the tech behind it all very well. He was amazing with all of the kids, and so so sweet. Everyone left our event happy, thanks to Santa Bob. I honestly cannot recommend him enough! He is great, and I will be using him in the future. If you want to hire a Santa for anything, he is absolutely your man!

My son had an in person visit with Santa Bob 3 years ago. We were so lucky this year to do a zoom call with him. My son was so excited and it really helped lift his spirits during these crazy times. Santa Bob does an amazing job of really personalizing his visits with the kids and taking his time speaking to them about how they are doing during this crazy time. I highly recommend Santa Bob and we look forward to our continued yearly visit with him.

We did a virtual visit with Santa Bob. He is fantastic! He made the visit magical even with it being virtual! Highly recommend!

I swear if Santa was real, it would be Santa Bob! My family has had him over for the past 2 years and he is just so kind and awesome and loving to the kids (and parents) that it’s so easy to feel he’s part of the family! He sings carols, reads them stories, brings them the presents you supply and gives them good list certificates which my 3 yr old looks at for so many months after bc he’s so proud. He is also phenomenal at coordinating the event with you prior and keeps things worry-free! THANK YOU SANTA BOB!!!

Santa Bob never fails to deliver the best Santa visit. Professional, courteous, and kind as Santa should be. Bob may in fact actually be Santa :). Thank you Santa!

Thanks

I’m reluctant to give a 5 star rating for obvious selfish reasons of not wanting his popularity to rise 🤪...I want to be able to book Santa Bob every year. He was awesome for our 19 preschoolers ages 18m-5 years of age. Thanks so much for an incredible and magical experience for our kiddos

This is my second time (and like 5th attempt but he gets booked out so quick) hiring Santa Bob and he always exceeds my expectations. Would hire him for every single event if I could, 100% recommend! Thank you Santa Bob :)

Great job

Santa Bob is THE best! We had FOUR 6 month old babies and a toddler, and he didn't make a single one cry! He was super patient with each of the families (all first time moms!) and put a smile on everyone's face. We were able to create lifetime memories and capture the most beautiful photos. I am so thankful for Santa Bob!

Let me begin by saying that although I've been a photographer for several years I had never hired a Santa so I was in uncharted waters. I found GigSalad, and then Santa Bob, after scrolling through a LOT of listings. I knew what I wanted and Santa Bob was it!
Santa Bob was wonderful to communicate with from the start. Prompt in his replies and pleasant to speak with when we spoke over the phone.
The day of my event Santa Bob arrived fully dressed and in character! He worked with children ranging from 8 days old to 10 years or so, and did wonderfully with them all. He has a very calm demeanor while still being quite jolly and I think that made it easy for the kids to take to him. We only had one or two that cried and even those kids, by the end of their short 15 minutes with Santa, had warmed up to him enough to grab some great portraits. Nearly every single parent that was in my studio that day commented on how "real" he looked, how great he was with the kids and were already wanting to know if he would be back next year!
Portrait wise he had LOTS of great expressions, movements/poses and interactive ideas to get the kids to open up and to allow for some very beautiful candid shots. This made my job very easy!
If you're hesitant to book, don't be. He is worth every single penny.
My ONLY complaint is that he books out early and that means I can't slack next year when I'll surely be calling on him again! ;)

I just can't say enough about Santa Bob, he was all the magic I hoped and dreamed for when booking the event. You won't be sorry if you have him join you at your event.

We couldn't be happier working with Bob. He performed as a butler in our event and came dressed to impress. Communicating with him was so easy. He followed all the instructions perfectly and was so pleasant to work with. We would happily hire him again. Thank you, Bob!

Santa Bob was amazing, as always. He came in knowing the kids names already, and even remembered a few stories I emailed him about each child. What a special night.

Santa Bob managed to keep 30+ children quietly entertained for over an hour. A true delight for adults and children

Santa Bob is just such a delight to work with, and just to even plain hang out with! We loved our time with him. He looks like the most authentic St Nick ever, and he takes his job to heart and the kids really get into it! We absolutely loved our time with him. I hate to advertise him so so much because that might mean his time would be more taken up, but honestly he Deserves everybody's business. And the kids deserve this kind of Santa for sure! Thanks Santa Bob, you’re family now (sorry! Haha)!

Will definitely have Santa Bob back again next year!!!

Santa Bob always goes beyond our expectations with our Santa party. He is engaged and patient, and really fills everyone’s hearts with joy.

This is the second year we've used Santa Bob. He is great with the kids. Very patient and kind. Photos always turn out great.

Santa Bob is beyond amazing. Highly recommend!!!! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everyone was so happy at the party. We will be using him every year.

Little did I know when I hired Santa Bob, that the real Santa would show up. Santa Bob brought true jolly and cheer to my party, enchanting children and adults alike. I highly recommend Santa Bob if you want to add merry and magic to your event.

Loved it

Santa Bob was great! We plan on booking him again next year.

Santa Bob came to our house on Christmas Eve and he was better than I would have ever expected! The kids were in love, he took charge and was perfect. The best was that he had an answer for everyone of the kids questions (how do you fly, why are you here, tell us about rouldolph etc...). It was the cutest night and such a great memory to have for our kids! I will definitely be trying to use him again whenever we need a Santa!

I highly recommend Santa Bob for your event. We had Santa Bob come to our home last night for our Christmas Eve celebration and first of all he is the most realistic Santa I have seen. My grandchildren loved his visit, he was wonderful with them and made them all feel special. Thank you Santa Bob, we look forward to booking you next year!!!

We wanted to create a special memory for my son and his two best friends. As they approach the age of "non" believers we wanted to give them an experience with Santa that would allow them to cherish those memories just a little longer and hold onto that special magic that Santa brings. Santa Bob was amazing, he came to our house and read to the boys, spent time with each one talking with them about school and things they like to do. He then played UNO with the boys, where the boys had no mercy for Santa and beat him twice. It was a lovely experience for them and for us as parents. I highly recommend Santa Bob and hope to be able to have him come to our house again.

Santa Bob was SO GREAT at Alum Rock Branch Library's 2017 Santa program. He was so patient and kind with hundreds of children, and was able to kindly manage families that wanted to take dozens of photos with a busy, long line. He made sure that he could actually talk to every child besides snap a quick photo, and the children seemed surprised and happy that he cared to talk to everyone. We would love to get Santa Bob again next year and encourage you to do the same! Also, he was on time, rocked a real beard (lots of customers were impressed with that), and his Santa suit was smart.

Santa Bob was great. Parents and children alike loved him.

Santa Bob came out to our community event for photos with the kids. He had excellent communication, arrived in a timely manner and everyone loved him. I would highly recommend!

Simply a most professional and real looking Santa around! Booking a year in advance now so our hospital visit is the best around again.
Thank you 🎅!!

We love having Santa Bob come to our company 's kid party. He is the best Santa and will hire him each year.

Santa Bob made our family gathering so much more fun than we could have ever imagined! He showed up early to prep and looked unbelievable! He was certainly the best Santa we have ever seen. He was so kind to the children and very quick and thoughtful to answer some serious Santa questions!! Santa Bob read "The Night Before Christmas" to the kids and played the flute while the rest of us sang Jingle Bells. It was without a doubt the highlight of our evening!!! Seeing the smiles on the kids faces (and Adults too!!) reinforced that this was the best money spent!!!

Easy to work with and professional!

We are very happy with Santa Bob. He was very polite, helpful, and did everything we needed to make the children at our party happy. We highly recommend him, and will book him for next year!

Santa Bob was a wonderful Santa for our library event! He was extremely flexible and worked very well with the diverse clientele coming into the library. I really appreciate his fair pricing and kind attitude and look forward to working together again in the future!

We decided to surprise the children at our small family day care with a visit from Santa Bob. He arrived right on time and was really great with all the children. Everyone loved him and each child took time to sit on his lap and talk to him about what they like to do and tell him their Christmas wishes. He read the children a story, sang a few Christmas carols with them, answered some questions, and passed out some gifts for us.
The parents were really impressed by his authenticity and told us that their children loved Santa Bob and haven't stopped talking about him.
I highly recommend Santa Bob and look forward to booking him in the future.
