Santa Greg was an incredible addition to our big family holiday party. He brought so much joy to all the kids and adults alike! He was great at handling a big crowd and kept the kids engaged the whole time. Awesome communication ahead of the event, timely and overall a 5 star experience!
Santa Greg was the best! He was wonderful with the kids and our elderly residents. He truly made our event amazing. Thank you Santa !!
I have had numerous Santa's at our parties over the years and Santa Greg is absolutely the best. He had our grandkids, nieces, nephews and adults participating in every part of the Santa Experience. This is the 2nd year we have hired Santa Greg and plan on having a 3rd year next year
From the moment he arrived to the time that he departed, Santa was the star of the show! We could not have asked for anyone better than Santa Greg! He was the star of our open house!
Santa Greg was great with the kids, he got more kids to approach him than I’ve ever seen. My granddaughter doesn’t like Santa and she wanted to give Santa Greg great big hug, so that was so very special! I would recommended him over and over! He's a "natural" with children and the adults loved him too! He had great communication prior to the event, his costume is very authentic. We are so grateful to have him visit this year! He made our family party extra special! Thank you.
Santa Greg was just excellent!! Communication leading up to our family party was great. He did such an awesome job keeping not only the children engaged but also the adults. We’ve had a few different Santa’s over the years and Santa Greg was definitely our favorite! Highly recommend!
Santa Greg was phenomenal. He was so great with the kids the adults there is not enough words to describe how wonderful it was to have Santa Greg at our party one of the best just one of the best. Hoping to be able to have him at our next family Christmas party next year.
We were hosting our first house party, and we knew that Santa needed to make a visit. Santa Greg showed up right on time, snuck in through the garage, and he greeted everybody downstairs with open arms. After some show and tell, stories, and other fun activities, everybody told Santa what they wanted for Christmas and snapped a picture with him. He was also great at thinking on his feet with all of the questions the kids were throwing at him! We had also arranged for the parents to bring each of their children a gift for Santa to give them at the end, which they LOVED.
Santa Greg was absolutely wonderful. Would highly recommend!
We have had many Santa's at our family Christmas party, but Santa Greg was by far the best!!! He not only interacted with the children but also with the adults. He kept the children's attention all the time he was there and even kept the adults laughing. After he left everyone was commenting about how great he was and how he was the best Santa we have ever had. We are definitely booking him for next year!!! And he was super nice. Thank you Santa Greg. We all Loved you!!!!
My guests described him as magical. My seven-year old granddaughter was enthralled. Going to reserve him early for next year.
It was pure magic when Santa Greg walked in to our house with Alexa belting out "Here comes Santa Claus"! As they say, "The crowd went wild!". And a rowdy crowd we were, with close to 40 adults and 17 kids, with the majority of kids being boys between the ages of 18 months and 7 years old. But with a twinkle in his eye, Santa Greg handled the crowd with aplomb spending time with each child and magically creating a beautiful Christmas memory for us all. I recommend Santa Greg without reservation!
Santa Greg is a true professional,all the kids loved him, had all the parents and guests laughing
Would definitely request Santa Greg for next year’s party
He was on time and everyone loved him from nana and guppa, the kids, and the 9 grandkids.

Some ideas for visits:
CHRISTMAS PARTIES
Santa Claus can hand out your presents, read stories to the kids, listen to the wish list of all children young and old, and of course, pose for pictures with your guests
Santa Claus will mingle with guests, pose for photos and engage all guests in Christmas cheer. If you have a special party favor you would like Santa Claus to hand out to your guests, make arrangements to get them in Santa’s hands before he enters the party.
Maybe you have friends at your party that have been naughty this past year. Make a list of their names and their naughty deeds and Santa Claus will have a talk with them.
CHRISTMAS EVE VISIT
Make Christmas special with a Christmas Eve visit from Santa Claus. Imagine the look on your children’s faces when they sneak a peek at Santa Claus delivering presents to their house!
CHRISTMAS MORNING BREAKFAST
After a long night delivering presents to all the good boys and girls around the world, Santa Claus will be hungry. Why not invite Santa Claus to breakfast?
HAVE SANTA CLAUS DELIVER THAT SPECIAL GIFT
Why not have Santa Claus deliver that special present to your wife or girlfriend?
CORPORATE PARTIES
Corporate parties are also fun to do! I love doing Santa Claus pictures and interacting with children and clientele. If you are looking for a professional Santa Claus for your party please contact me!
We all know that there is but one Santa and the rest are ambassadors for Santa, it is your job to figure out who is who!
I love Christmas, I love the lights, the decor, the smell of Christmas! Our hearts tend to be a bit more generous and light during the season. Christmas is a time that we allow ourselves to be more child-like. Christmas isn't just about the presents, it's about being together with family and friends, to laugh with them, to eat with them, to sing with them! All those things are good for the soul! I don't see Santa as a commercial persona but as a person that children trust and will talk to because Santa listens to them.

TIPS FOR A GREAT SANTA VISIT!
Designate a Helper:
A helper coordinates arrival, parking, presents to be carried, Santa’s grand entrance, and his seating. Santa will call when he is about ten minutes away from arriving. That’s the cue for the helper to go outside to meet Santa.
The helper can coordinate the children as they each visit Santa. Every child should have an individual moment with Santa. Santa will try to engage shy children, but realizes that some children can be nervous.
Reserve a special parking spot for Santa:
If the visit is at your home, leave an opening at end of your driveway. Put a temporary barrier in the space. Have some fun and put a sign out “Reserved for Santa!”
Have your gifts ready to go:
Santa can bring his gorgeous BIG bag of presents for children or guests. If you would like him to distribute your gifts, please make sure they are labeled directly on the package, easy to read, and all fit into a 30-35 gallon size bag.
The Visit:
The number of children present determines what Santa can do and how long he can spend with each one.
Have a sturdy chair for Santa:
A straight-back dining chair with no arms works well. Santa should be able to sit comfortably with the chair supporting him plus a child on each knee.
Pick a great location:
An interesting background such as Christmas tree, Christmas cards, wreath or nativity scene makes photos more memorable. Leave room around Santa’s chair for others to gather for group photos.
Santa needs to stay cool:
Please turn the thermostat down to 65°.
Santa is wearing a heavy suit trimmed with fur. Having a small fan placed near where he is to sit does wonders! Please, no fireplaces!
Think about photos with everyone:
Santa will want to take pictures with everyone at the party, including adults, grandparents, and teenagers.
Some ideas:
For teens, don’t worry; Santa can stand up for a “buddy” photo.
Take a photo with Santa & Grandma hugging.
Santa can be drinking milk with Grandpa.
Babies can be sleeping aside a napping Santa.
Burly husband? Santa and Dad can be studying woodworking tools.
Santa loves pets:
Santa will gladly take pictures with pets. He may want a towel placed on his lap to avoid pet hair getting on the suit.
Santa stays in character:
Please always address Santa as “Santa.” Treat Santa Greg as the real Santa Claus. Please help keep the wonder of Christmas for your children and others.
Santa will not lift any child:
Parents should place and remove children.
No smoking around Santa:
Santa prefers not to be around cigarette, e-cig or cigar smoke. It smells up his suit for his other visits.
His Departure:
Usually after the gifts are opened the children’s interest shift from Santa to what they received. Once the “Magic” of Santa’s presence has worn off it’s time for him to exit.
Payments:
If there is a payment due to Santa place it inside a Christmas card or envelope. It never looks appropriate when someone gives cash to Santa. As Santa is departing, hand him the envelope and say, “Thank you Santa, and here is a Christmas card from all of us”.
