I am a real beard Santa who has his own sleigh and vintage Santa truck (available at no extra charge). A recently retired teacher with 30 years experience working with kids, I LOVE being Santa for all size groups and types of events! I've done it all from small family gatherings to city festivals with hundreds of children getting in the sleigh to meet Santa.
Can’t say enough about how great he was with our entire family. Brings a super cool sleigh for pictures. Kids and adults had a great time with him. On time, and flexible with everything at our party. Highly recommend!
Response from Santa Ted B:
Thanks so much. I had so much fun too and even your young adults played along with me. What a great family!
The children and adults alike loved Ted the Santa. He was so entertaining and even had my 3-year-old who is deathly afraid of Santa, talking his ear off and did not want him to leave. We will need to hire this Santa for our yearly event! Everyone is still talking about how incredible he was.
Response from Santa Ted B:
Thanks for letting me be part of your awesome family celebration. The little blondie and her cousins were such cute Santa believers! Loved chatting with them. Hope to see you again next year!
Santa Ted was great! Certainly will want to book him again next year. He was great w the kids and was very receptive to a couple requests. Our family was very impressed w his ability to remember names and pronounce some of the names that weren’t easy. Thanks Santa Ted for making our Christmas Eve memorable!!
Response from Santa Ted B:
Thank you for the nice review! It was great fun to be with your family and celebrate Christmas!
Ted Santa was wonderful. He made our Christmas complete
Response from Santa Ted B:
Thanks for sharing your Christmas with me!
Santa Ted attended an annual family gathering at our home. He was so engaging with the kids taking to them about Santa’s reindeer and getting to know more about each child. He was a lot of fun with the kids and really had them laughing. We had a few adults that wanted to tell Santa what they wanted for Xmas and he was happy to oblige. Kids and adults really enjoyed his humor and enthusiasm . We will absolutely be requesting him again next year. I would highly recommend Santa Ted for any event.
Response from Santa Ted B:
Thanks so much for the great review. Love the pictures! Your family was one of the highlights of my Santa season! I really look forward to visiting again next year! Thanks again for including me.

Santa Ted performed as Santa at a community Breakfast with Santa Event. He was great with kids and families and has great suit and sleigh. Would definitely book again.
Response from Santa Ted B:
The pancake breakfast was a great event. Peter and his staff did a fabulous job of getting everyone seated and served and making sure there was plenty of syrup and chocolate chips and marshmallows and sprinkles for the pancakes. All the sugar you could possibly ask for😁! The kids and parents were all so well behaved and fun to interact with. Loved being there. Wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Santa Ted truly elevated the enjoyment of our "Breakfast with Santa" affair at our restaurant. His engaging and enthusiastic portrayal of Santa was exceptional, captivating both the children and even a few adults. The overall experience was nothing short of fantastic, and we would unquestionably rehire him. A solid 10/10 rating for a job well done.
Santa Ted was amazing!
He was kind and super friendly.
I recommend 100%
Response from Santa Ted B:
Thank you so much for the kind review and inviting me to your company party. It was a great time. I especially loved the Santa “groupies” in the red sweaters who followed me around all night and sent me home with a dozen hand decorated cookies. Wishing you and yours the Happiest of Holidays!
We hired Santa Ted for a community event where the Canadian Pacific Kansas City Holiday Train stops. We had 2500+ people and Santa was a big draw at the event! The kids and adults loved him. Real beard, authentic suit and his own vintage sleigh! The kids could not get enough of him, so many happy faces and no tears, the children felt so comfortable to talk to him and get their photos taken. Before the event, Santa Ted was communicative and helped me plan the event for the best outcome with so many children. I highly recommend Santa Ted! On time, reasonably priced and a very nice person. He is a great Santa Claus! Don't hesitate to hire him.
Response from Santa Ted B:
Thanks for the kind review and for allowing me to be your Santa. What an awesome event it turned out to be! Despite the rain earlier in the day I got to take pictures with almost 1,000 kids. So many big smiles, fun interactions and Santa hugs! Loved every minute of it. Hope to be back again next year.

Santa Ted did such a phenomenal job at our company holiday party, Breakfast with Santa. He went above and beyond to make the children smile. He even brought a custom sleigh that was a huge hit with our guests and their children. He was very communicative and prompt the day of the event, and was very flexible with our timeframe.
I couldn't recommend him more to others that are looking for an authentic Santa for their holiday parties.
Thank you, Santa Ted, for making our event so spectacular and special!
Response from Santa Ted B:
Thanks again Olivia. It was a fantastic way to start my holiday season! And thank you for the tip. See you next year. HoHoHo!
