Santa Joe is the best Santa we’ve ever hired! He is not only professional start to finish, but was just so good with the children & grownups. He made our Christmas dreams come true!!! Thank you, Santa, for making our event SO special & fun❤️
Each year Santa joins our Christmas Boutique at our school fundraiser. He transforms the event with his jolly presence. I even had a patron call this year to inquire if Santa would be there. He is truly dedicated to the Christmas magic.
Santa Joe did such a great job. He stayed in character from the beginning. Everyone enjoyed him. Santa Joe played the part very well. We definitely will be seeing him again. Thank you for making our event even better!
Our experience was the best ever! I am from Baltimore and I have a grandson, age 5, who still believes in Santa. I ordered a Santa to keep the joyful spirit of Ol' Saint Nick alive. .. and that he was! The hit of the party! He was very prompt, had a great sense of humor, very playful, kind and very caring. I could not have dream of a more perfect night!
Thank you for sending this delightful Santa to our home!
All the best in the New Year!
Much love, joy and good health to all!

Santa Joe was wonderful. He looked great! arrived on time! The residents clapped when they saw him. He greeted all residents one by one once he was in the Activity room. Santa Joe took a picture & handed the residents their gift. The residents were so happy! A couple of our residents couldn’t make it to the dining room, Santa Joe made a couple of room visits to bring in more cheer! the nursing staff took a couple of pictures with Santa Joe as well. He was wonderful & we would be happy to have him again!

Greetings,
Thank you, for the opportunity in allowing me to to add that Christmas magic for your families on that special day of the year.
Santa Joe appeared at my client's home on Christmas Eve, and the family sent me a text message shortly thereafter telling me that everything was perfect and that Santa was fabulous!

Santa Claus
Response from Santa Joe:
Not a proud moment for me. Yes, this was a letdown.
I tried my best to ensure all my clients knew Santa's schedule's importance.
On this particular night, besides the downpour of rain, I had to deal with a massive accident in which no one went anywhere, which caused even more of an unknown.
My sleigh travels will be better tuned.
We had a small Christmas Eve event and wow was Santa Joe fantastic! He was spot on from his look to his laugh! A true hit for all! Thank you! Jeri
I truly appreciated Santa Joe's timely arrival, his courteous treatment of all family, and his fabulous HO HO HO! The family all commented on his great outfit, too. This was a very good "Santa"!!!

Santa Joe was fantastic at my Christmas wine mixer! He really brought joy to all my guests as soon as he entered the house. He has a great sense of humor and excellent social skills.

We had a tragic event happen to a family member and didn’t want the kids to be affected by it and the weather was raining hard and Santa Joe was traveling from LA to San Diego and despite the bad weather he still came and the smiles he put on my grandchildren’s faces was priceless. If they didn’t believe in Santa they sure do now. Santa Joe my family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts. We will definitely make this a yearly tradition.
Very professional and communicating answered all my concerns as well as ideas and plans to Christmas Day activities. The kids loved him as well as the adults.

Santa Joe was the best, most professional Santa I have ever come across. We had a Christmas party with 40 kids and he was so kind and accommodating with them. He looks and sounds just like a storybook Santa. The adults had a blast too! I highly recommend him!!
We had Santa Joe for a company holiday brunch and he was amazing! On-time, professional, easy to contact and just an all-around great experience. We would recommend Santa Joe to anybody!

We decided to hire a Santa last minute, and Santa Joe was prompt, communicative, easy to work with and accommodated our few requests with joy! His persona and costume are perfect for the role, his HoHoHo is contagiously joyful, and the kids were fascinated by his presence and character. He was punctual and professional, and I look forward to hiring him again next year. He made it possible for us to keep the Christmas magic alive during this unprecedented time.

I highly recommend Joe for any role or position that an organization requests of him. His enthusiasm, politeness and cheerful demeanor makes him a delight to be around. Joe has volunteered for many events for the City of Temecula, playing well-renowned roles such as Santa Claus, and he continuously fosters positivity and warmth anywhere he goes.

It has been my pleasure to work with Santa Joe in the past. He is so very believable and children (and adults) love him. He arrives on time and is in character the entire time he is hired for.
The senior center in Temecula has had the happy experience of Santa Joe at many of our Christmas parties.
I highly recommend him for your Christmas activities.

Mr. Polselli was the most amazing Santa I had the pleasure of hiring. He was a true professional, friendly and above all magical. He made all the Children feel special and heard. He listened to all 50 children with such care and sweetness, time was not a factor. Some children were having some sad times with parents being gone and Mr. Polselli aka Santa listened and gave them encouraging words. Looking forward to having Mr. Polselli do our event this year.

Response from Santa Joe:
Thank You!
Joe Polselli played Santa at a party that I hosted last year. His training with some very large companies is obvious in the magic that he brings to his character! His costume was flawless. The children couldn’t take their eyes off him! Thank you so much for making our event memorable ! If you are looking for a Santa, Joe Polselli should be the only candidate!
