Response from St Pete Santa:
ASHLEE...WHAT A JOY IT WAS TO SPEND TIME WITH THE CHILDREN, FAMILY AND FRIENDS. UPON OUR ARRIVAL, YOU WERE READY FOR US TO SURPRISE THE CHILDREN WITH SANTA'S VISIT. MS. CLAUS READ... THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND THE CHILDREN LISTENED WITH EYES WIDE OPEN. THEY WERE SO EXCITED THAT SANTA CAME TO THE HOUSE AND ASKED MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE REINDEER AND SANTA'S MAGIC NIGHT RIDE. WE HOPE TO VISIT AGAIN NEXT YEAR! HO HO HO!
I've had a pleasure to work with Santa Doug for several years now. It's very difficult to engage with little children within a short period of time but you always find a unique way to connect to each and every little one that we photograph. You're very fun and creative! I had multiple customers say that they have never seen anyone looking just like a Real Santa!! So, thank you for making this season so magical for all of us.
Response from St Pete Santa:

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME AGAIN THIS YEAR....AND SANTA LOOKS FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU NEXT YEAR AND IN THE YEARS TO COME! HO HO HO!

St. Pete Santa and Mrs. Claus brought pure magic to the 10th annual Make Hope Real program by GTE Financial. This year marked a milestone in spreading joy to member families facing hardships during the holiday season.
Despite unforeseen delays, Santa and Mrs. Claus radiated kindness and understanding. Their patience as they waited for the children to finish their meals was exemplary. And when they finally made their entrance, it was nothing short of enchanting. The joy on the kids' faces was priceless.
Santa's chair, the sacks of gifts under the trees—every detail was meticulously thought out. Their rendition of "Jingle Bells" and "Rudolph" alongside the children created an atmosphere filled with warmth and Christmas spirit.
For families navigating challenging times, Santa and Mrs. Claus became beacons of hope and happiness. Their presence and dedication to spreading cheer went above and beyond, leaving an indelible mark on everyone's hearts.
GTE Financial extends its heartfelt gratitude to St. Pete Santa and Mrs. Claus for their unwavering commitment to making Christmas magical for those who needed it most. Your generosity and compassion embody the true spirit of the season. Here's to hoping for another memorable celebration next year!

We hired Santa for a Customer Appreciation Party in The Villages, FL - my residents had such a blast with him. He was interactive with the Pets, the People, and even Grandchildren that came.
We throughly enjoyed having him. I would highly recommend him, but I don't want to overbook him for the next time I need him!!!
Hugs and Love,

Authentic Santa and Mrs. Claus. The children loved it.
We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Santa and Mrs. Claus, they were wonderful with the kids/ teens and adults alike. We had almost 200 families at our event for over 4 hours, Santa and Mrs. Claus never wavered. They were personable, and very nice. They also called to confirm directly after the booking and touched base before hand, it was so helpful. Highly recommend them!

St Pete Santa / Santa Doug was exceptional at our event yesterday! He rode in our parade and had an excellent meet and greet session with neighborhood kids at our clubhouse. He was early for our event, and was the real deal the entire time. All of the kids loved him and he really brought the magic from the North Pole! His wife accompanied him and it’s clear they make a great team. Highly recommend! We will be using him next year!
Response from St Pete Santa:
JAMIE, IT WAS A PLEASURE TO VISIT WITH YOUR COMMUNITY AND LISTEN TO ALL OF THE CHRISTMAS WISHES! THE BOAT RIDE WAS WONDERFUL...LETS DO THIS AGAIN NEXT YEAR! REMEMBER TO BOOK EARLY AND REMEMBER...SANTA IS ALWAYS WATCHING! HO HO HO!
We have worked with St. Pete Santa multiple times now and every time it's a fun, exciting and a truly magical experience! Santa Doug is very engaging with the kids of all ages, we have photographed the entire school with children 6 months to 5 years of age. And this Santa can SING!!! He sang Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer for kids and it was an awesome surprise. Highly recommend and can't wait for our next event.
We can't rave enough about St. Pete Santa. He was warm and kind and everything you think Santa to be. He was punctual and flexible during our event as well. We can't wait to have him back!
Response from St Pete Santa:
THANK YOU LOUIS , IT WAS A BLAST EVERYONE WAS JUST LIKE ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE GREAT TOWN GREAT PEOPLE
Santa was amazing. He had the whole crowd involved and the children loved him. Even our parents were wowed by his magic. Would highly recommend for children’s events.
St Pete Santa was everything we could've asked for! He was authentic, patient and hilarious. We hired him for our Christmas Party with around 15 kids and 25 adults. Everyone said great things about him. He read the kids a story, sang songs and passed out toys to the kids that we provided. He told us stories about the North Pole and answered lots of questions that the curious children had. Overall it was a great experience and we are looking forward to having St Pete Santa attend our holiday party every year from now on. Highly recommend!
We hired St Pete Santa for our company Christmas Party. Santa called a few hours prior to the party to let us know he may be a little delayed as the Skyway Bridge was closed due to High Winds. We were appreciative for the heads up and completely understood. Even with the Bridge closure Santa was right on time. He read a Christmas story to the kids at the party, passed out gifts and took time to interact with each and every guest. He posed for Hundreds of photos and not once did we feel rushed. St Pete Santa is the real deal and we will definitely be using him in the future.
St Pete Santa was very engaging with the children. He was time efficient and very attentive. Thank you for the wonderful service, it made Christmas Eve one of our best events.
Response from St Pete Santa:
Thank you! Hope to make next year even better...Happy New Year! Your parting gift was not expected, but most appreciated! See you next year!
Santa arrived early and was ready to go! He was caring and all the kids loved him, also adults! One lady came back in later that day and said she's a believer again, he's that legit!! Great personality and can't wait to have him again next December! Thanks-Sweet Doctors team :) HoHo Merry Christmas!
Response from St Pete Santa:
Thanks, Michael. Your creations are delightful, and devilishly delicious. Hope to see ya next year. Book early.
We loved having Santa over for our party last night. All of the kids loved him and were really excited. Santa did a great job staying in character and putting smiles on the kids faces by even singing Jingle Bells with the kids.
We can't wait to have him come back for our next party!
The most amazing night ever. Thank you Santa for arriving on time and willing to help support Make A Wish. You put such joy into people of all ages.
We shot a commercial yesterday and Santa Doug was amazing! He was lively and ready to work, he literally lit up the whole room and had a magical moment with the kids as well. He took direction very well and he was so funny! I highly recommend Santa Doug. He had some of the coolest outfits and his attitude was amazing the entire shoot, it was such a pleasure to work with him. Thank you so much, Santa Doug! You're the Bomb! You're the Best!!!!
Tried contacting St Pete Santa via Gig Salad platform and via phone several times before event with no response. Hoped he would show up even with poor communication ahead of event. He did not. I was embarrassed and the kids were disappointed. Seeking a refund now, but that won't make up for the broken promise of Santa coming to visit.
Response from St Pete Santa:
Dear Angela,
I am devastated to read your post. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am to have missed your very special occasion and to have let down the children.
I make no excuses except to say, with my stay in the hospital and "modern technology" such as it is, your messages were never received and therefore your special occasion was overlooked and the date was no longer visible on my calendar.
Please allow me to correct this unfortunate situation. I would love to make a very special visit to your home, at your convenience and at no charge, so that I may bring back the joy and love of Santa to your heart.
Merry Christmas to all,
Santa Claus
Awesome Job!! Everyone loved you, thank you !!
We had a great time and St.Pete Santa was a hit with the kids and adults!
Wow! Nothing but a wonderful time was had by all who visited with Santa at our 3 company Christmas Events! Each event was magical for every child who got to visit with Santa. Santa was wonderful, friendly, punctual, and amazing to work with! We look forward to working with this Santa year after year for all of our company's Christmas events!
Response from St Pete Santa:
What a wonderful group of people to work with. The events were made to be so much fun and the staff was ever so in tune with all that they do. So professional and enthusiastic Santa gives them a big thumbs up SEE YA NEXT YR ...HO HO HO
Santa walked in the door and everyone was a kid again. He made us all young and believers again. The best ever from the twinkle in his eyes to the HO HO HO of his laugh. A good time was had by all. The children were amazed.
All these years I was told Santa does not exist. Now I found out not only does he exist but he lives in St. Pete!
St. Pete Santa is warm, genuine, and true Santa in every sense of the name.
