Santa was a very nice man. He read "The Night Before Christmas" book and led the group in singing "Jingle Bells". He then handed out the stockings we had for all of our kids. He was very believable for the younger kids and made them comfortable. Overall, he helped nake the party great.

Our kids were completely enamored! We had kids aged 1-13… each had a great interaction with Santa that was just right for them. The 11 year old twins - are now convinced that Santa is in fact real! (Mom says thank you for one more year of magic!) My 6 YO granddaughter told her mom -“it’s been the dream of my lifetime”.
Highly recommend The Real Santa - we will absolutely invite him back.

The real Santa did a wonderful job! He looked very much like the real thing. He knew the kids names and what they were interested in. He performed a magic trick and had the kids spellbound. The looks on their faces when Santa just happened to drop by Grandmas house were priceless.
My 10 year old nephew Charlie has met a few mall Santa’s. Charlie knew this Santa was real by looking at his beard!

We loved Santa, he was great with the kids and really played the part with his Santa stories. 🎅
What a wonderful Santa Bob was for our neighborhood Santa meet and greet! Even when it was slower for the first part of the event, he took the time to read stories with Children that were there and just was really great about making it a personalized experience for everyone. We had 2 boys in our neighborhood 4th grade and kindergarten say this was their favorite Santa this whole season and loved this better than the big village tree lighting the night before.
Thank you for a memorable experience for everyone Santa!
Santa was amazing with all the kids that showed up to my house for my photos sessions. I highly Recommend hiring him to be your Santa!
We had The Real Santa and Mrs. Claus at our corporate event and had all our clients and families take photos. They were perfect.

Our employees loved having Santa visit our holiday breakfast. He worked the two dining areas and made sure he spent a little time with each table. Lots of pics and lots of fun. Our Chief of Staff remarked that he loved how he stayed in character!

Response from The Real Santa:
Thank you so much for the kind review. I hope I can be your Santa for many years to come.
Could you email me some of the photos. for my facebook page and my gig salad promo kit
The Real Santa was fantastic with the kids at our home Christmas party. He interacted with all the kids ages 1-7. Everyone had a blast! He looked authentic and he was very accommodating. We can’t wait to host a party next year and hire him again!
The Real Santa was a hit at our Christmas party. He even brought his wife Mrs. Claus along (for the same price). They interact with the kids by signing holiday songs while playing their keyboard. They went the extra mile to learn the kids names and each child's desire for Christmas. They spread so much holiday cheer and made the party a success!

Santa made our gathering so magical! He individually spoke to each child as if he knew them
Personally from his nice list! He was patient, and kind, and looked “real”! The kids had LOTS of questions and he had quick and magical answers! He was also very respectful of our Covid safety concerns as we have a little one who is high risk. Perfect experience! Thank you!
We had The Real Santa visit our party before a Christmas parade in our town. Communication before the event was clear and he showed up right on time. The kids ranging in age from 6 months to 11 years old all had an absolute memorable blast! He was so personable with all attendees and took time for every photo and conversation. Santa went above and beyond with personalized messages, a treat for each child, and a super awesome gift for each child. Everyone loved having Santa at a party! 10/10 will definitely book again! Thanks Santa!
Santa came to visit our early Christmas gathering this past weekend. Such a fun surprise for our three grandchildren age 7,6 and 3. Santa knew all the facts about their lives - their school, their teacher - etc. Talked to each child and made them feel special. And he engaged all the adults in the conversation ending with a "group dance." I highly recommend!

Response from The Real Santa:
Thank you Tammy. Visiting with your family was wonderful.
Everyone was so impressed by The Real Santa. He was more than willing to accommodate each families level of contact due to COVID. He made each child feel special! We will absolutely be using him for all our future events! You cannot go wrong booking The Real Santa for any holiday occasion.

The Real Santa was the perfect surprise for my daughter’s 6th birthday. He made sure to add personal details and got everyone excited for the holidays! Highly recommend him.
Santa Bob was awesome! The kids loved him and so did the adults! Would highly recommend. My 7year old insists he is the real Santa 😊

What to Expect
I offer a variety of possibilities depending on the event. I have a special giveaway to all children. I can read stories, do some simple magic tricks, but most of all I will put a smile on the children's faces. Mrs. Claus is also available to add that special family touch. I can hand out presents, and of course be available for picture taking.
If you are looking for a company spokes person, I am your man. As a real bearded Santa I give the authenticity your company is looking for.

About
I started as Santa with an online program called Hello Santa. After talking with all of the children, I was hooked. I then started doing town events and home visits. Having (link hidden)aus with me gives my events the added touch of a real family. Doing house visits is probably my favorite. Being able to spend more time with children and their families is truly what Santa is all about.
