Our Early Childhood PTA needed to reschedule our Holiday Celebration due to unforeseen circumstances. The Santa we originally booked was not available for any other dates, and we were worried we wouldn't be able to create this Holiday experience for our member families. Enter GigSalad and Santa Matt, who was available and certainly brought the joy of the season to the event. Santa Matt was jolly and engaging with the kids and made it easy for them to maintain their true beliefs in Santa and the magic of the season.

Santa was absolutely the best. He was a great introduction to my grandchildren whose parents were struggling about whether or not they should tell the kids about Santa. His message was inspiring to all at the party.

About six weeks prior to Christmas, we learned the Santa we had used for 35 years had passed away. I immediately started searching for someone new while grieving the Santa we grew to love. Santa Matt did NOT disappoint! Within a 24 hour period, he had memorized eight children’s names, ages and things about them although he had never met them. I cannot state how much we enjoyed his visit and highly recommend! We’ve been blessed with a new Santa for years to come! Thank you Santa Matt for bringing holiday joy back into our lives.

Santa Matt was absolutely the best! After providing him with his Santa “intel” he cam to our home and wowed our grandchildren with his wonderful North Pole stories, Elf stories, traveling around the world information that had us all very quiet in our seats. He had each child’s name and ages correct and was able to recite all the information I had given him about each one perfectly! There were so many highlights to this very magical evening for all of us, but mostly he had my 78 year old husband believing after he got a chance to pull on his very “real”beard to make sure it was real! He had to sit on Santa’s lap in return which was hysterical! I had wrapped a gift for each family member and left it in a large bag on the front porch and then he filled his sack with them and presented each one of us with our “special Santa” gifts. The look on everyone’s faces was priceless. A moment this grandmother will never forget!
Timely, appropriate, entertaining. SANTA MATT is the real deal!

Santa Matt was great. He handed out a gift to each kid and a couple adults. He talked about the north pole and showed all his Santa cards. By the end even the skeptical kids were into it. He took pictures with everyone. He let the kids ask questions and even asked them some. I would highly recommend him. If we ever need a Santa again we will hire him again.

Words cannot convey the holiday spirit that filled our home! Sooo much more than a Santa in a costume. We arranged a surprise 15 minute visit for our 3 very shy children. The details were phenomenal, from making his entrance, to the quality and authenticity of his costume. I appreciate that he had a plan how to entertain and engage the children. I was so impressed how he remembered every piece of information about the children, including the names of their elf pets, scout elves, their interests, our home pets, what they asked for Christmas, what they did to be on the “nice” list, and even correctly distinguished my identical twins! We asked for a very Christian foundation for our visit, and he sure delivered! Santa brought up each of the kids attributes and aligned it with a bible verse. He read them a brief nativity story, passed out candy canes, and demonstrated how they symbolize Jesus. We enjoyed the little fun surprises like Rudolph noses they got to keep, stories about the North Pole, a built in seatbelt safety lesson from his sleigh, the story of St. Nick, and he even showed them his Santa ID and badge. Kind, warm and excellent with the children. He has his time management down to an art, and does a great job of introducing his next topic by tying it in to what the children are discussing. Even though our visit was only booked for 15 minutes, the children each got quality time, the flow of the visit and conversation felt natural, and it never felt rushed. Very impressive and authentic! 100% would recommend to anyone! Thank you for this heart warming experience we will all remember for the rest of our lives!

We reached out to Santa Matt with an emergency situation when our Santa Claus for Christmas Eve canceled the evening before our morning event!

Santa Matt did an amazing job with our neighborhood night. He visited 17 houses on our street and gave each child an individualized Santa experiences, knowing their names and about each child.

Santa Matt far exceeded the expectations I had set. He was very communicative, open, and willing to do anything to make this event especially special for the kids and my mom. He even took the time to do extra homework on the history of decorating and the importance of mothers, since this was the theme of my party. Not sure if we will ever use a Santa but if I do he would be my first pick. Who knows I may just hire him to drink a beer, we had some good conversation. THANKS SANTA MATT

Santa Matt was a great Santa for our family holiday party. He was very professional and ensured the Santa experience was perfect. He took time beforehand to learn about the children, and remembered their names, ages and interests. He also took extra effort to provide a story, candy canes etc. The kids loved it, and even said he was “the real Santa”. Would recommend Santa Matt.
