Santa Doug was so wonderful at our Christmas party! He was interactive with the kids, had great explanations for things, and got the whole crowd involved with a Christmas song. Can’t recommend him enough and will definitely book him again next year!!
This was amazing Santa Doug is great and we will definitely have him for future events. The kids still can’t stop talking about it.
Santa was amazing and so good with the children. He truly made our children light up with joy! This made our Christmas.
Response from Santa Doug:
Thank you so much Leslie!! I had a wonderful time with your family. Merry Christmas!
While I hesitate to write this as we would LOVE to have Santa Doug all to ourselves from now on I have to say, he is the BEST! We have hired a couple of Santas for the annual event and while all were good, Santa Doug was amazing. He showed up on time, called me ahead just as I had requested and showed up with cheer to a hoard of excited kids and parents! Santa had the BEST stories, all the kids still talk about the reindeer and the Christmas duck <the best story ever> and he had an app that told the kids they were on the good list- one naughty adult but, that adult redeemed himself by the end of the evening with cheers from the kids. We had a big group, quite a few kids all under the age of 6- most being 4 or younger and 2 first Christmas babies and Santa Doug handled it all like a pro even as a fee cried and some got a bit over excited. As I said he had his own stories, also read the night before Christmas, gave out gifts to each child( provided by the parents ahead of time), sang songs and was he truly made the night special. He was fantastic, we absolutely loved him and will have him back every year! You will NOT regret booking him- just save a night for us!
All I can say is Wow! Santa Doug is hands down the best!! I am so glad that we were able to have him at our work event! He was amazing to work with. He is super fast responding to emails and calls. He is also very accommodating and very detailed oriented. He really added a lot to our event and our clients gushed over what a fun and magical time it was! One of the best comments/feedback we received was that one child thought we have had the "real Santa from the North Pole" at our event! Santa Doug completed our event and we wouldn't dream of ever having another Santa at any of our events in the future! Thanks again for making our event perfect! We can't wait to work with you next year!
He did a great job
Response from Santa Doug:
Thanks so much joel. Had a great time! Merry Christmas!
Santa had an answer for all our kids questions with no hesitation and they had a lot of them! He was so cute and so professional.
Response from Santa Doug:
Thank you so much Ashley. I had a great time! Merry Christmas!
Santa Doug was amazing ! Not only did he look like Santa, his "Ho, Ho, Ho" had all eyes on him! His gentle nature and patience with a group of 16 was to be admired. He read a wonderful story , sang Jingle Bells with the children , and his special "naughty or nice" I-pad was a hit ! He took time with each child to pass out gifts, listen to their wish list and get pictures . I highly recommend Santa Doug for your family event ... loved him!!!❤
Everyone loved him and said he looked so real! I had to tell everyone that he was the real deal! The kids were so happy!
Response from Santa Doug:
Thank you very much Mariah. I had a great time and enjoyed working with you and your staff. Merry Christmas!!
Doug was great! Even the 86 year old children loved him!
Santa Doug was such a delight! We have an apartment community of 322 units and its always a hit or miss of how many residents will show up to our events. Santa Doug, was very easy to work with, accommodating to all of our residents, even the ones with no kids and took pictures pets as well. We got pretty busy, very quickly and he handled the craziness with ease! I look forward to having Santa Doug here next year!
Santa Doug showed up exactly on time and the kids were screaming with excitement. He was so perfect looking and authentic I almost believed he was indeed real. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect Santa and we will call him again next year. Give your kids the most magical experience and hire Santa Doug! It was amazing!
Response from Santa Doug:
Thanks very much Katerine! I had a wonderful time with all of you. One of my most fun events this year! I look forward to visiting again next year. Have a very Merry Christmas!
Santa Doug was not only a great looking santa, he was also really great with kids and adults alike.
Response from Santa Doug:
Thank you Laura! I enjoyed my visit very much. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
We hired Santa Doug to do our Children's Christmas Party. He was on time and absolutely delightful. The members at the club loved him and we have already rebooked him for two dates next year.
Response from Santa Doug:
Thank you very much Hala. I enjoyed working with you and the families at the country club. Looking forward to next year!
I would highly recommend Santa Doug for all of your Christmas needs. He was very professional and our party would not have been the same without him! Thank you for making our Christmas so very Holly Jolly!!
Response from Santa Doug:
Thanks very much Jackie! I had a great time with you and your coworkers! Merry Christmas!
I own a family and wedding photography business, and we hired Santa Doug for a full weekend of Santa photo sessions. Santa Doug exceeded ALL of our expectations, as well as the expectations of our clients. Not only does he truly look the part (we received continuous complements on how authentic he looked), but he is fantastic with kids of all ages. Kids that were initially unsure about their visit with Santa were quickly calmed and even excited as a result of his engagement level and perfect demeanor. Needless to day, we have found our Santa and will be using Santa Doug again in the future!
Response from Santa Doug:
Thank you William! It was a joy to work with you and Staci. I look forward to working together again in the years to come. Merry Christmas!
Santa Doug was excellent and convincing to all the children present at our Christmas party! He connected with them quickly and easily. He had them all at HoHoHo!
Response from Santa Doug:
Thank you so much Linda. Your family was such a blessing and it was a joy to share in your Christmas celebration!
I could not thank Santa Doug enough. I had a special event at my home for my children and decided to envite some friends. Santa Doug did a excellent job keeping all 13 children involved in the event. I will make sure I use Santa Doug again in the future.
Response from Santa Doug:
Thank you Kevin. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting with all of the families and had a wonderful time. It was truly a blessing! Merry Christmas!
