Being professionally trained by two legendary Santa Clauses, we have been, informally, peer-evaluated as one of the best Claus couples in the world!
Santa and Mrs. Claus will appear properly attired and in character. Mrs. Claus accompanies Santa at no additional charge. Dispense gifts, if provided. Amateur photography is permitted. We tell stories, answer questions, explain traditional customs and decorations, do sing-a-longs, depending on the ages and disposition of the children that day.

Santa and Mrs Claus were absolutely a wonderful addition to our Christmas party. The children were entranced but even more, the adults had a nostalgic trip down memory lane and there wasn’t a dry eye to be seen. We loved this so much. They were absolute pros.
Photos from this event
Long before the date of the event, Santa was extremely professional with corresponding to ask what I was looking for from him that would make our Breakfast with Santa a memorable event for kids and families. The day of our breakfast, Santa and Mrs. Claus captured the hearts of everyone in the room. Their wardrobe was to say the least impeccable and their electing to give us a glimpse of "old world Santa" with their outfits was a crowning touch. Their demeanor and interaction with the children, parents, grandparents, and everyone in between was magical and comforting. More importantly, their knowledge of customs from around the globe enhanced the experience for many of our children as the majority of our kids are from military families stationed in our area. They graciously had picture after picture taken, never losing their beaming smiles. I will immediately book them again once a date is confirmed for our event in 2020. I wish I could give 10 stars.
Response from The Jolly Old Elf!:
We were delighted to participate in this event. The children and adults were charming and so friendly to make sure we had everything we would want available to us. It really helps to have a contact person who clearly knows what they want. We are very humbled by the praise in this review. All we can say is we always try our best to accommodate each event and each participant's individual needs. We will happily continue to be your Santa and Mrs. Claus, Thomas. These are the kind of events we long to add to our season!
Our office Christmas party was not the old boring boss dressing up as Santa and handing out gifts to the kids, the Jolly old Elf productions was simply amazing and I loved the authenticty of the Mr. and Mrs Claus. Their outfits and manner were in such that it made all the kids and adults sparkle! They are a MUST book at any Christmas event!
