Ed did a FANTASTIC job as Santa at our community festival this weekend. After the line for photos ended, he got up and moved around the room, greeting kids and interacting with them. One highlight was watching him do so "mock karate sparring" with a young boy who had arrived from his karate class and was still in uniform. So fun!! We had a great evening, and are so thankful to Ed for creating magic for the kids.

Response from Santa Ed Taylor:
Thank you. You have a great group and I had a ton of fun!
Beyond amazing. The joy my kids experienced during the virtual visit was beyond words. They couldn’t stop talking about how Santa knew their names and how he listened to them. Thank you so much!

We booked Santa Ed for my daughter's Winter ONEderland themed birthday party and we could not have had a more amazing experience. Ed was incredibly easy to communicate with. He always got back to us immediately with any questions that we had months, weeks and days leading up to the event. Day of event, without being asked he showed up early and waited in his car in the area nearby on standby in case we wanted him earlier, which we did. When he walked in the door, the kids could not have been more excited and in shock that Santa was in the room. Ed was so patient and took his time talking / answering questions with each and every child. He was more than happy to take any photos when asked and met with ever single family. In addition to being a job to work with - he looks EXACTLY like Santa. This is not a costume! Ed is the REAL deal and we could not recommend him more highly.

Our office holiday party was on Tuesday, and Santa Ed Taylor was a wonderful feature.
He acts the happy jolly Santa who everyone wants to meet. So accommodating with our guests - posed for tons of photos, spread good cheer around the room, and was a really good choice for us!
Ed is easy to work with, and please know that he books up early!

Santa Ed was perfect for our event. We hired him to be in the lobby of our apartment community for a xmas party for our residents. He was perfect and everyone loved him. Even though we were mostly adults he made us all feel the spirit of Christmas! I recommend Santa Ed for all your events, big and small.

Thank you... appearing at a birthday party in February was a first for me and it was SO MUCH FUN! Thank you!
Santa Ed was the PERFECT addition to our company holiday party. If you are looking for the most realistic santa he is your man. He is fun and knows how to work a party. LOVED him and can't wait to use him again!!!

Don't look for any other Santa next holiday. Santa Ed is it! From his magical appearance and demeanor, Ed captures every minute detail of the Santa persona. My boys were initially frightened of his entrance but Ed knew how to work the room and they quickly warmed up to him. Eventually they were sitting on his lap and laughing along with him. My heart just about melted. My children were in awe that Santa knew things about them and really made me feel for a short minute like a kid again. I didn't want to see him go but I will see him again next year for sure! Thanks Ed for a memorable evening!
Santa Ed was wonderful! I would highly recommend him for any event. So professional and great with the kids.

We had Santa and Mrs Claus at our world record attempt for the most snowmen built in an hour. We had 800 employees and 400 kids and Santa and Mrs Claus were a hit with everyone one of them! They engaged the kids and adults alike! We will not hesitate to use them in the future!

AMAZING! Everything about Mr. Santa (Ed Taylor) was spot on! He left me doubting that he really didn't come from the North Pole!

Rob Dyrdek host of MTV's program Ridiculousness said: "Ed Taylor is the greatest Santa in the history of Santas. Bar none. Period. End of story."
Thank you for being part of our "Breakfast With Santa" event at Neiman Marcus Beverly Hills. Your portrayal of Santa was raved by both customers and staff at the store. You brought so much joy and positive energy to the event. You are the best Santa we've ever had here! We look forward to booking you again and again when Christmas comes!
