Real beard Santa with 35+ years experience. Have a unique "Father Christmas" suit which makes a very impressive Santa at your event.
It the best time for our family. We will hire him next year too
The kids had a great time and the adults felt really content.
The kids enjoyed having Santa around and took great pictures with him! He was a great Santa!
I feel slightly bad writing this because they were a very sweet couple, but just helping out with future bookings. Santa was not bad...but if you are looking for an energetic Santa that will talk with kids and interact in a jolly way, he is not for you. If you just want pictures, he is perfect. I felt bad because it seemed Santa was not feeling well, perhaps back problems? He had a hard time walking and did not really talk to the kids. Some of our kids (preschoolers) wanted to sit in his lap, but because he seemed in pain, they could not; they had to stand next to him. Again, they were not the worst; I was just hoping for more of a jolly Santa that could engage our younger audience with a more energetic personality.
Response from Santa Roy:
Hi Kasandra,
I'm sorry some of your kiddos were disappointed on not being able to sit on Santa's knee. I wasn't aware they wanted to and it certainly would not have been problem. Generally, however, this year and last most events did not want children to sit on knee due to Covid protocol. So there may have been a lack of communication.
As far as my energy, yes, we had just completed a big move from Bothell to Everett and my energy probably wasn't up to normal. I also had just been to to the ER on Wednesday with a severe scratch on my cornea and was told to take it easy or I could risk losing my site in my left eye. My apologies for lack of energy, but it was also too late to cancel on you and leave you hanging without a Santa for your event.
Yours In Christmas,
Santa Roy
Santa Roy arrived with kiddos ready to see him and he was so kind to come in with a big “ho ho ho”! We had a pretty mellow event given covid but it was such a treat to have the kids be able to sit with Santa and actually have some time to chat.
We would likely not do as long of an event next time but it was a great hit and if you’re looking for the real looking santa Roy was perfect!
Santa Roy was there on time and was very very kind. Our students had a great time taking pictures with him. Will definitely book him next year as well!!
It was great! Thank you Santa Roy for coming.
Response from Santa Roy:
Thank you Olga.
It was my (and Mrs. Claus') pleasure watching your students perform! They were great!
I look forward to hearing back from you next year.

Santa Roy was amazing. The kids had a great time, and both Santa and Mrs. Clause were awesome!!! We would strongly recommend for anyone.
Response from Santa Roy:
Thanks so much for you kind words. Look forward to next year!!!
Have a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!!
Yours In Christmas,

Santa Roy was AMAZING at STORE 4 LOWES Ranier Ave.
Thank you for the fun day!!
Brenda Elf. :)
Response from Santa Roy:
Thanks Brenda,
I always enjoy working with you & your co-workers. I look forward to it again next year.
Yours In Christmas,

Santa Roy did a great job! He was so friendly and easy going - posed for several silly photos and mingled with all our guests. He was very communicative with me after we booked with him, he called the day before the event to check in and showed up on time and in full costume. Such a great addition to our company party!
Response from Santa Roy:
Thanks, Allison!
I had a great time meeting your co-workers & spouses. Looking forward to next year!!
Yours In Christmas,
Santa Roy Abbett
Santa and Mrs Claus made our Christmas party huge success. Everyone loved them. And we are looking forward to next year. Santa went far and above to make everyone feel so special. He included a guest who was in her 80's and really made her Christmas. Thank you Santa Roy and Mrs Claus.
Response from Santa Roy:
Thanks, Alyce for your kind words. Your family & friends couldn't have been sweeter and your party was one of my favorites all season. I, too, look forward to seeing you all again next year. But be sure and tell grandma I'm coming to see her again specifically.
Yours In Christmas,
Santa Roy Abbett
Santa was very nice, but 50 minutes late to an hour and a half engagement.
Kids and parents alike loved Santa Roy. He took his time with each child and allowed plenty of time for photos with kids and photos with kids and parents. All the children loved his reading of the Night before Christmas! We'll have him back next year! Thanks Santa Roy
I was pretty sure he was the real thing!
Response from Santa Roy:
Thanks, Zach,
It was a lot of fun and I hope we get to do it again next year!!!!.
Merry Christmas to you and your staff and a happy New Year.
Yours In Christmas,

Poor Santa Roy he was so tired when he arrived to my party. He did not smell good. He was perspiring from his suit. People are asking where did I get this Santa. They said he should retire.
Response from Santa Roy:
I went out of my way to provide you with Santa for your last minute request. I'm sure my wife had told you that my weekend started Friday night until 1:00 in the morning, and Sat. & Sun ended up being two 13+ hour days. So, yes, I may have been more than a little tired by the time I got to your place. I walked in expecting the Adult Family Home I was told this was and found a totally crowded, very hot small room full of people making it very hard to even make an entrance. It would be very difficult for any Santa dressed for the North Pole to not perspire in that environment. My primary objective, however, were the adults residents of the home who I assumed were the ones I was hired to see. I made sure to spend one on one time with all of them and their immediate family members and they seemed pleased and enjoyed the conversations we had. I certainly did not expect this kind of review after getting a $50 tip from you. In the future, I would suggest that you try to make your reservations much earlier.
Santa Roy was amazing! He truly brought the spirit of Santa to our PJ party! We will definitely have him back again!
Santa Roy was a great edition to our company party. The kids loved having Santa aboard the Christmas cruise.
Response from Santa Roy:
Thanks Elizabeth,
I had a great time myself, everyone was nice & friendly. I'm looking forward to this year's cruise & hope the weather is as great as 2016.
Yours In Christmas,
Santa Roy Abbett
Santa and Mrs. Claus were wonderful, warm-hearted, and magical. They made our Christmas party so special for all the children. Santa communicated with me at least three times prior to our event and was very easy to work with. Thank you!
Response from Santa Roy:
Hi Sherrie,
Thank you for your gracious review & we found all your children very delightful. We, too, enjoyed ourselves very much.
Please remember me for next year. Merry Christmas!!!
Yours In Christmas,
Santa Roy Abbett
Santa Roy was gentle with all the kids, even the ittie-bitties who cried! He made an exciting entrance, handed out the gifts we brought for him to give (he supplied the bag and candy canes), and he read a story. Great experience all around. Great price.
I would recommend Santa Roy to anybody! The kids loved him his costume was simply beautiful everything about the experience was positive.
We had Santa Roy come out to surprise the kids during our Christmas party at home. He did not disappoint! All the parents were impressed with how real Santa looked. We got to take so many photos individually and with the family. Forget the lines at the mall, this will be our go-to moving forward!
