Santa Dan

This is our second year using Santa Dan. He is just fabulous! From his outfit to his personality; he’s Santa! He looks exactly like his pictures!
You will it be disappointed!

Santa Dan was on time and had a great look. Our Santa’s in the past have sang Christmas carols and or read a book

Santa Dan is fantastic. The kids and adults love him. No one better!

Santa Dan was so awesome! This was the 3rd time that we had him at our home and he is always so jolly, friendly and just the Best Santa Ever! The kids asked him some tough questions and he was awesome with his answers! Can’t want to have him again next year.

Santa Dan was great! Very professional, authentic, and punctual and most of all, the kids loved him! We'll do this again for sure.

Santa Dan truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment he arrived, the joy and excitement radiated through the kids and parents alike. What set Santa Dan apart was his excellent communication leading up to the event, ensuring every detail was tailored to perfection. Our experience with Santa Dan was nothing short of magical, and we're grateful for the unforgettable memories he created for our family. Highly recommended for spreading holiday cheer with a personal touch!

Santa Dan did not disappoint!
He was professional, punctual and just perfect!
The kids loved him and I think the adults did too!!

First time using Santa Dan for a private home event with 5 girls, 5 and under. With all the controlled chaos that was ensuing he maintained his composure and kept the girls attention. Not an easy feat. Will definitely require his talent again.

Perfect as usual. Kids are mesmerized by Santa Dan. Adults love him too. I just wish I always wasn’t on his naughty list.

Santa Dan was part of our Christmas Celebration and was incredible. He was so great with the kids, families, and volunteers. He traveled the room mingling, took pictures with anyone who asked, and engaged with the kids in his Santa Corner. He was incredibly responsive when communicating before the event and flexible with time changes. Santa Dan is wonderful to work with and an asset to any Holiday event. Glad to have gotten to work with him and to know him.

We love Santa Dan! We have been having him over at out Christmas Party for a few year and he never disappoints, always the life of the party. We can’t wait until 2024

We love Santa Dan! He is now a part of our anual holiday party. He makes everyone feel welcomed and in the Holiday spirit. He is the Real Santa Claus! We love Santa Dan and we are already looking forward to seeing him in 2024.

Santa Dan was prompt, personal, and engaging

Santa Dan is the REAL Santa !!!! This is the second year that we have been fortunate to have Santa Dan join our Family Christmas Walk and it was as magical as the first !!!! Santa Dan remembered our grandchildren from last year and they were thrilled !!!! Our whole family enjoyed Santa Dans visit and he left us filled with Christmas Spirit !!!!

Santa Dan is incredible! We have been lucky enough to have him for the last 3 years and every time he makes it a perfect event! We host many people for the party and every parent and kid is thrilled with everything he provides! Thanks Santa Dan and already looking forward to next year!

Santa Dan is the "real" Santa!

Want to thank Santa Dan for helping us out again this year. We had another successful toy drive that we will be able to help out 365 children in our community.
God Bless

Chairman of Toy Drive

If you're looking for an authentic, responsive and kind Santa experience, Santa Dan is it!
Santa Dan was a hit at our family holiday party. The grandkids are still talking about him 2 weeks later.
My only suggestion to is book early! Thank you, Santa Dan.

This is the 2nd year I have hired Santa Dan. This year my 4 year old grandson wasn't thrilled to get near him. It only took Santa a few minutes to win him over. Will definitely book again for next year!!

We have been fortunate to have Santa Dan be our Guest of Honor at our Holiday Party for several years. We are a non profit servicing adults with disabilities. Santa Dan makes this party very special for our folks every year.
We look forward to his visit every year!

Santa Dan came to our childcare center for our Christmas pictures! He was early and very friendly! Santa Dan even helped us with some set up issues. He was so amazing with all the children and staff! He posed, chatted and was so kind and patient with all the children! He was especially patient with the children who were nervous and offered then a high five and words of reassurance. I can’t say enough about how amazing Santa Dan was! He posed for pictures and handed out the presents. He also walked around and posed for additional pictures with staff and children! We plan on booking him early so we will have him for our 2023 celebration. Thank you Santa Dan!

Second year we have used Santa Dan! Great experience.

Santa Dan was the best Santa we have ever had at our yacht club children’s Christmas party! He was responsive with the booking process, very flexible even when we asked him to arrive via one of our launches and the kids absolutely loved him! Highly Recommend!!

Santa Dan was the best!! Great personality.. Fun with the kids!! Took lots of family pictures!! Sang some songs with the kids.. made our party with family a great day!! Thanks santa🎅🏻🎄

The kids were so excited to see Santa and he did not disappoint . He took time with all the kids to listen to what they had to say and take pictures . He was patient and kind when they all ran at him in excitement. I would highly recommend him . We will be booking again for next year .

Santa Dan was authentic and engaging. He was tuned into each child from 4 months to 20 years of age. He was receptive and flexible to family picture taking

We Believe! On December 10th our family experienced the most magical of evenings ! From the moment Santa Dan joined our Christmas family event a feeling of joy , happiness and Christmas spirit filled the air !!!! Our grandchildren are 9 and 4 the 4 year old because of Covid had not had much contact with Santa . When Santa Dan joined us she hid and wouldn’t come out yet somehow Santa Dan coaxed her out and she had the time of her life . The 9 year old was on the fence about Santa Claus . I had asked Santa Dan to work with me on this and he did that and more . Our 9 year old Believes more now than ever . After a night of pictures , reading the Night Before Christmas and handing out presents it was time for Santa to leave . He had the greatest reason for not having his sleigh and reindeer. But what he did have was a big red pickup truck with the license plate “SANTA “ More pictures there !!!!! We hope Santa Dan comes to visit with us next year and we highly recommend that everyone invite Santa Dan to their homes !!!!

Santa Dan is SANTA.
Santa came to an event at Newport Vineyards for our first Christmas Extravaganza and he was AMAZING! We are so grateful we fond him and we are still getting compliments today on how incredible he was!

Santa Dan handled our crazy group of young cousins very well. We will be requesting his services again next year.

Santa Dan did our event in our very large elementary school. He arrived and the room turned to magic..... The way he looks, speaks and carries himself was so impressivez He was absolutely incredible and really left the children in awe. Very warm, welcoming and friendly. We have children ranging in abilities and he was understanding of all their needs . Highly recommend him! As far as Im concerned we are so happy we hired the actual Santa Claus for our event!!

Thank you Santa!!

This was our 2nd year to have Santa Dan to our Annual Christmas party. He is amazing with all of the kids. Patient and in character the entire time even while interacting with the adults :-) Thank you Santa Dan!

As always,

Santa Dan is the best!!!

Santa Dan was incredible! Everyone was wowed by his look, mannerisms and thoughtful answers to all believers and ones who are “on the fence.” He was thoughtful and his attention to detail on the entire night made this a night to remember. I was so surprised how much the adults enjoyed this experience! No reservations on having him back again! A marvelous time had by all!!

Santa Dan was so amazing to work with. I'm a professional photographer that hired him to do Christmas minis. There was a small hiccup with scheduling and Santa Dan was so accommodating through it all. I had my 8-month-old son pose for a few pictures with him and Santa was so amazing with him, I felt comfortable with him holding my son the whole time. He's the real deal, you won't regret hiring him!

Santa Dan was great helped add a Wonderful dimension to our Annual Toy Drive!!!

Look forward to next year.

This review is extremely late, but still so sincere. Santa Dan was an absolute pleasure to work with this past season! He agreed to visit two locations for us and although I never met him, both of the houses he visited loved the visit and all the magic he brought! Highly recommend Santa Dan for your magical holiday needs! Thank you so much, Santa Dan!

Santa Dan and Mrs. Clause were excellent! We hosted a neighborhood party with close to 25 children and their visit put a smile on all of the kids faces--even the younger kids who were a bit skeptical at first. Santa Dan was very communicative during the booking process and the days leading up to the event. We will definitely be asking them back for next year!

Everyone ennjoed Santa’s visit! He spent alotof time passing out gifts and taking photos with everyone We will certainly have him back!

Santa Dan was in contact with us right up until he came through the door. It was magical!! Highly recommended!!!

Santa Dan was awesome and really brought the magic of Christmas into our home. Just watching my kids eyes light up and twinkle with amazement as they spent time with Santa is a memory that will not be forgotten. Can't wait till next Christmas so we can relive the magic and welcome Santa Dan back into our home again!

I don't even want to write a good review because I don't want anyone else to have him!! Santa Dan could honestly be the real Santa.

He is great with the kids, prompt and very personable.

Thank you for another great year!!!!

Dan and Mrs. Laus where wonderful

From the booking to say goodbye! The communication was superb! Arrival was perfectly organized. He was great with the kids! Brought tears to the adults eyes! We want to book for Santa Dan for next year!

Santa Dan is a hit every year. He makes everyone extremely comfortable while never straying from the roll of Santa. His costume is amazing and his performance is spot on, not over the top or to relaxed. Adults every year ask if he’s coming and all get enjoy when he mingles and has pictures taken. And I can’t forget Mrs Claus who accompanied him every year. Also just as good and entertaining.

Santa Dan was clear with communication leading up to the event. He arrived on time and made his appearance exactly as he said he would. He engaged with everyone at the party both kids and adults making sure everyone got the pictures they wanted. He was very friendly and talkative. We would love to have Santa Dan come again in the future.

Always great to work with

My family and I hosted a Christmas Party and hiring Santa Dan and Mrs Claus was THE BEST decision we made! They absolutely made the entire party! They were great with all of the families and kids! Hosting such a big party for the neighborhood was very stressful as there were so many moving parts that we wanted to make sure went right. Santa was the most important piece to the party! Santa Dan and Mrs Claus' communication the entire time was perfect and extremely professional. Their communication, experience, and perfomance are the 3 reasons we will 100% hire them again next Christmas!

We used Santa Dan for our event last year and again for two event dates this year. He is fantastic! He visited with 10 groups of children on each event date...each group varied from 5-15 kids. He was very personable and attentive with all of the children. We will definitely be reaching out to Santa Dan again next year to help us with our event again.

This was our second year hiring Santa Dan. Our non profit group has organized a fund raiser where Santa Dan rides around to various neighborhoods in our town to visit with groups of children. Groups range from 5-15 children. Santa Dan visits with them and takes lots of pictures with them. If a child is scared of Santa, he has a way of casually walking behind the child so someone can still take a picture with Santa in it. He is great with the kids and very personable. Even the volunteers are convinced this is the real Santa!!

Santa Dan was exceptional! We had the best time, he was so patient with the kids and made our Christmas party so so special! We took tons of pictures and laughed so much! Definitely worth it! Santa Dan is absolutely best! Will definitely have him again for our party next year.

Santa Dan was the real deal! Patient with all of the kids, was great for all of the photos. Mingled with our guest and was extremely communicative leading up to the event to make sure everything was perfect.

The entire experience of arranging for Santa and the quality of the visit was exceptional. Thank you so much! My grandchildren were so excited.

I hired Santa Dan for Christmas photos this past weekend. He was so patient and kind with the kids especially when the little ones were a little hesitant. Before the day, he was very responsive and great with communicating. I can not wait to use him in the future again!

Santa Dan and Mrs. Claus added a festive touch to our Summertime Christmas in July party. Donning Hawaiian shirts, shorts and sneakers they fit right in with the theme of the event. Personable and fun, they enjoyed mingling with our Goldwing Road Riders Members. We loved having them join us for a well deserved get together. Thanks for joining us for such a memorable event. Looking forward to having Santa Dan and the Mrs. join us for our next Christmas event!

Santa Dan was amazing!
Great communication.
Looked fabulous in “Summer Santa” clothing.
Awesome with the kids.

Santa Dan was great at my personal event. He was very communicative ahead of the event and was very attentive to details. He called again the week of the event to finalize all details, he was on-time, and called 10 minutes before arrival! He was very in character when he arrived and played the role of Santa very well for the kids! He was patient and kind, and he made it fun and believable for the kids! ! I would recommend Santa Dan for anyone looking for a great a Santa Claus for an event! 🎅🏻

This was the second time our non profit group worked with Santa Dan and he was fantastic both times! Santa Dan rode on a fire truck around town, stopping at 10 different homes and visiting with almost 100 children at the end of their driveway. He chatted with the kids, posed for pictures, and handed out gifts (which the parents had secretly dropped off in advance). Our group received so many compliments on the event and mentioning how personable Santa was. The weather was not ideal, it was drizzling throughout and sometimes raining as he visited with the children. However, he kept his spirits up and took his time with each group of children. We are already planning to hire Santa Dan for this event next year.

Santa Dan did an awesome job with our zoom
Santa event, easy to work with, great communication and he almost made me a believer - he looks exactly like the big man himself. Highly Recommended!!

Dan was great my grandchildren loved him

Our non profit organization hired Santa Dan to ride in a fire truck to various neighborhoods around our town. Each stop had approximately 10 children. Santa Dan was wonderful with the children...he was very engaging and made sure he spent time with every child and posed for photos with everyone. The event was four hours long and Santa Dan was enthusiastic throughout. He even had some fun waving out the window of the fire truck to residents walking on the sidewalk and stopped at red lights around town!
Our group received so much positive feedback from the participants. They all thought Santa was great...he is the real deal!
From an organizing standpoint, Santa Dan was extremely professional and responsive. He was very easy to work with, checked in several days before the event to confirm the details and showed up on time. We would hire Santa Dan again without question.

Upon booking inquiry , Santa Dan was great and prompt with communication.
Leading up to the event as well, he reached out to confirm and communicate his arrival and the details.
Worked great with our staff , parents and the children.

The photoshoot was a great success.
Santa was patient and friendly to the kids.

We couldn’t be happier!! Santa Dan brought the magic of Christmas to our family on Christmas Eve!!
All the children and even the adults were so touched by the magic that Santa Dan brought to our party!
The communication, the timing and the experience were complete flawless!!
We can’t wait to see Santa Dan next Christmas Eve!
❤️❤️❤️

P.R.I.D.E. Inc. had its annual Holiday Party for 150 people. PRIDE is a non -profit organization established in 1969. We provide quality alternative residential , employment and social programs for people of all abilities. Santa Dan and Mrs. Claus arrived a little early called me upon arrival to let me know they were here and ready as soon as we were. Santa walked around wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Santa took pictures with everyone. Mrs. Claus fed Santa the gifts that he gave to each person. he was friendly and patient with everyone and Some talked on seeing him the weekend before at the Bass pro shop and the thought he must be the real Santa. Santa Dan was not in a hurry and spent appropriate time with everyone. They both looked great and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a Santa

Great looking santa!

We were thrilled to have Santa Dan join us for our Goldwing Road Riders Association - MA Chapter F Christmas Party. His presence added to the festive event and our members were excited to have their photos taken with Santa! We did our best to help Santa with the naughty and nice list, but, his finally determination was that the entire group made the "nice" list. Santa Dan, thanks for helping us bring in the Christmas season in such a wonderful way. Your jolliness and joy was contagious! You helped make this Christmas party and event to remember! Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas Santa Dan and Mrs. Claus!

We had our office Christmas party at La Familia Restaurant in Taunton and Santa Dan made the moment so much fun for the children and the adults alike. He made everyone feel comfortable and put a smile on everyone's face of true Christmas joy. So friendly and caring. Will definitely hire Santa Dan again for our family and business parties.

Santa Dan was extremely professional, on time and exemplified a high level of communication leading up to our event. Our staff loved him and all those in attendance enjoyed his presence. Great performance! Left me wondering, perhaps Santa is real!

Santa Dan was hired to be the Santa at our company's family holiday event. The entire process couldn't have gone smoother, from the initial "negotiation" and booking with Santa Dan through Gig Salad to the event itself. Santa Dan responded to my request for quote very quickly and sent a contract as requested; the contract and booking came together in less than an hour and we had a very generous conversation that evening about the event itself. He asked relevant questions about the event and venue; it was obvious that he is a professional that takes his work seriously and has plenty of experience. He even made suggestions for what we needed to do that I hadn't even considered, so he was very collaborative and service oriented (sparing us the stressful last minute adjustments at the event). As a professional event planner, for me it is very comforting to know that you are working with someone who understands the sensitive nature of a large scale events, how they come together and then honors their commitments to their clients. Trustworthy contractors are the key to every successful event, but it's even more important when the Santa expectations of 50 children are riding on it! Santa Dan is the type of person you can rely on to come through as planned. Santa Dan communicated with me in advance of the party, just to make sure all our plans were sound. Come the morning of the event, he arrived in advance and was fully prepared to receive children. He also "took charge" several times and steered the event crew in the right direction with his practical Santa knowledge, as we had a bit of a stumble at the start of the gift-giving (tip: hand the package to Santa and let him call the name, vs. having kids line up and then trying to find their gift amongst the pile). He was great with the kids and took plenty of time for each one while still keeping the line moving. Several kids were overheard whispering, "that's the REAL Santa!". We were very happy with Santa Dan and would 100% hire him back for any future events. You should not hesitate to book him (and book early) if you need a great Santa for your event.

We received so many compliments on how awesome Santa Dan was! He was great with the kids and looks just like Santa!!

What a great event. We were excited to hear that Santa Dan would be the main attraction at Barrett's in Bridgewater, MA on Sunday, December 8th. We reserved 16 seats for breakfast with Santa and we were not disappointed. From the youngest, 3 months old to the oldest, almost 80 years old, we were all impressed! Santa Dan did an amazing job of visiting with and making everyone feel completely comfortable. Our three grandchildren ages 4 years, 2 years and 3 months had very different reactions. Santa Dan did a marvelous job of interacting with all the children. He mingled and joined us for candid moments as well as the traditional picture with Santa. We would highly recommend Santa Dan for any event.

Dan was exceptional as Santa at the Taunton Area Chamber of Commerce's Annual Holiday Gathering. Our attendees had no idea he was coming! Everyone remarked about his suit - the old fashioned Coca Cola one. He was given little instruction - because who tells Santa how to be Santa? Dan is very good at the impromptu - He took the reigns mingling, getting candids with people, and executing a spontaneous holiday trivia game. Can't wait to have him back next year!

Santa Dan was on time, very knowledgeable Santa, great with the kids, did not rush with the kids, took many photos with kids, family. Would hire Santa Dan in a heart beat. Merry Christmas!!!

Santa Dan brought the magic of Christmas to life at our church holiday fair of 500 plus fair-goers! From his real beard, to the details of his finely crafted suit, to the nuance of his conversations, he embodies the kind and gentle spirit of the real Santa. We were impressed with his ability to cater the Santa experience to the particular comfort level of the visitor, providing a variety of opportunities from the traditional chair visit, to walking around the fair offering smiles and high fives, and thoughtfully posing for pictures in the background for those who didn’t want to come close! He graciously received letters and hand made gifts from children, and made each little candy cane helper feel so important. With excellent communication in preparation for the visit, Santa Dan is a pleasure to work with from start to finish. A true professional, we would hire him again in a heart beat!
