Thank you for inviting us to come visit with so many of you.
Bookings are closed for visits from Santa Glen for Christmas 2023.
Everyone loved his visit!
Will definitely use him again.
We hosted a large family holiday event this past weekend and had Santa Glen and his elves attend. They were extremely professional, prompt and courteous. Santa Glen takes his time with each person and truly embodies the magic of Christmas.
Response from Santa Glen:
Thank you so much for your kind review. We had a blast with all the folks that turned out for your event.

I can't say enough about his team of professionals! They arrived early, provided much of their own equipment (chair, halo for photos), , did everything we asked of them (parked away from the event, rode in a horse drawn carriage, interacted with all the guests, called 3 BINGO games), and were so much fun!! I hope they will agree to visit us again next year!!!

Best Santa I’ve ever had! Enjoyed his wonderful sweet spirit! Very precious man! Kids and parents loved him !
Santa Glen was fantastic at our Breakfast with Santa client appreciation event. He made a grand entrance and chatted (really taking his time) with all of the children eating breakfast before sitting on his chair to take pictures. Very professional and tons of communication leading up to the event. He came with two lovely elves as well. Santa Glen is the real deal and we highly recommend him.
Rave reviews from everyone about how great him and his elves were!!
Santa Glen is always a big hit with everyone, including the puppies!
It was great to have Santa Glen!
We have been hiring Santa Glen for the past several years. If you want Santa from the North Pole, he's your guy! Our association asks if he is the one we are having every year. Cinnamon, his elf is also beloved. His throne is regal. The kids adore him and the parents love him. He may be more than the other Santas....but he is worth every penny.

This is the 3rd time that Lenoir-Rhyne University has utilized Santa Glen for our annual Winter Wonderland event and could not be more pleased with his services. Always on time, prepared, and has wonderful interactions with our students. Will definitely be using Santa Glen each year for this event.
Response from Santa Glen:
Thanks Jonathan,
Santa always enjoys kicking off the Christmas Season with the folks at Lenoir-Rhyne.
Santa Glen was able to fill in for our Chrismtas party after a previous Santa cancelled at last minute. Great experience for kids - they had the best time and kept getting back in line!
Would gladly recommend him to anyone.
We are looking forward to booking Santa Glen again in the future!
Santa Glen did a great job! He definitely looks authentic and his stories were amazing!! Peppermint helped move things along as well. I would definitely recommend Santa Glen!
Santa Glen and Peppermint arrived right on schedule to our party and were an absolute hit from the second they walked in the door. They looked completely authentic and were so pleasant and fun. They mingled and were very accommodating to all of our guests who wanted pictures with them. Santa even danced with our crowd and really kicked things up a notch. They made our party a success and I would recommend them to anyone hosting a Christmas party as we did.
Response from Santa Glen:
Thanks for the great review Steve. Hope we can do it again next year.
Santa Glen and his elf did an amazing job with our students. This is the 2nd year we have used Santa Glen and we could not be more pleased. He has brought a different element to our event the last 2 years and we hope to continue to utilize his services for years to come.
Response from Santa Glen:
Thanks Jonathan. We had every bit as much fun as the students and we have received some great photos from then. See ya next year. Merry Christmas to all......

Santa and Peppermint had the best evening with all the wonderful young folks at Lenoir-Rhyne University. So many great selfies and Christmas wishes shared. Gingerbread houses, hot chocolate, candy canes, and ice skating in 50 degree weather all made for a great time. Best of all Santa even learned a new dance.
