Santa Mike

TL;DR (too long; don't read): Santa Mike is the best. Period. If you're looking for a Santa to spread joy this holiday season, Santa Mike is it. He should be charging more for what he's doing. The best.

MUCH LONGER VERSION OF THE REVIEW: We are hesitant to leave a realistic, stellar review for Santa Mike, only because we do not want everyone else to bogart the ever-living ca-ca out of him and leave zero time for us (the real heroes here) to hire Santa Mike for our gigs in the future.

But alas, we have excessive catholic guilt about, well, pretty much everything, so here is the truth: This is it. This is he. He is it. Santa Mike. Your search is over. Santa Mike IS the Santa for whom you are searching. We kid you not. He. is. the. effing. best. The G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time). We have rented/leased/hired Santas before, but they were all dog-pooo-pooo compared to Santa Mike.

1) He looks, acts, behaves, and MY GOD he even SMELLS just like you'd think Santa should smell. We sh*t you not. 2) Communication = STELLAR. No joke. We never even verbally chatted with him on the phone, we just communicated via gig-salad messages / phone-txt-messages and that was it. *chef's kiss* We cannot tell you how magical and lovely it is/was to be able to exclusively message / text with this beautiful, magnificent, marvelous human to organize our shindig. 3) Santa Mike was a GATTTT-DAYUMMM professional, in every single sense of the word. For example, he politely declined food because he thought it would detract from the *mystique* of Santa. 4) He was a legend with the kids (and adults for that matter), a commensurate charmer, and such a loving, charismatic force of nature. He was funny, humble, and 10000% believable as the BIG MAN himself. Quite honestly, he should be charging more for his services, because he is more than worth it.

OK, we're done here. If you don't hire him, fine, it'll be your loss. You'll find no one better.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, YOU FILTHY ANIMALS.

GOD BLESS US EVERYONE.

Santa Mike was hired for an event in our taproom and brought the spirit of the holidays to life! He was incredibly communicative before and during the event, a joy to have in the brewery, and professional every step of the way. We would recommend Santa Mike to anyone looking to include Santa at their event!

Santa Mike was part of our first ever Breakfast With Santa event and was a huge hit! Even the most timid kids felt comfortable with his soft demeanor. Parents and staff had nothing but positive comments on Mike's welcoming personality. We're excited to have him back again this year!

Santa Mike was wonderful! We had him in our taproom on a somewhat slow day and he was working the room - interacting with parents, kids, and dogs. He even went outside to try to get people to come in! Super professional and friendly and we're excited to have him again this year!
