Dear Santa, I just wanted to write you and tell you what a wonderful time was had by all when you came by East Coast Wings + Grill in Kingsport! It was great watching you put a smile on every kid and adult that came by to see you. You were truly amazing with everyone! I hope you will put us on your list to visit next year and maybe swing by in July for a little visit. We cannot recommend The REAL Santa enough! If you want to have a great event and spread holiday cheer, he is the way to go.
Santa made an appearance at the Christmas Cabaret at the Appalachia Cultural Arts Center in Appalachia, Va, and everyone absolutely loved him! Children and adults alike loved talking with him and taking photos! The ACAC highly recommends Santa! Thank you for stopping by our event!
Response from The REAL Santa:
Thank you for inviting Santa to such a lovely community Christmas event, Tayler. He thoroughly enjoyed visiting with all the kind people of Appalachia, Va and with the Appalachia Cultural Arts Center. Merry Christmas to you all!
I have had the privilege of being at multiple events where this Santa has been. He is always in character, always jolly, and such an amazing presence! Our town has used this Santa for our past two years tree lighting ceremony and I would not want to see anyone else there!
Response from The REAL Santa:
Natasha, it has been an honor & exceptional delight to attend the town's tree lighting ceremony and visit with all the wonderful families and children who light up my day! Special thanks to you, the staff, mayor, police & fire department for service above and beyond. Santa LOVES arriving in the fire truck!! Merry Christmas!!

When Santa makes his entrance, guests of all ages will be riveted! He looks and sounds like Santa - an amazing sight for even the most jaded naysayers!
Santa is loving, kind and gentle with children, young and old! He says just the right thing to lift up the wonder, awe and magic of Christmas. He's the epitome of family values and emits joy that's contagious. He loves to craft and shape just the right event for each client and takes seriously the need and time for planning. He must have a couple hours to ensure he looks perfectly Santa prior to his entrance. He has the highest of standards - quality is of utmost importance to him. He LOVES parades and knows how much he means to all watching. All are important to Santa. He treasures small, intimate family gatherings where he can enjoy hearing what children have to say. He remembers when Grandma, Grandpa, Mom & Dad were small and he loves to tell the little ones all about them! Of course, Santa's no stranger when it comes to welcoming lots of children who surround him when it's time for photos, too! Fees include Santa's assistant who accompanies him - extremely important for Santa's transportation, appearance, communication with presenters & venue and all things Santa needn't worry about when spreading the Spirit of Christmas! In many cases, it's helpful if overnight lodging near the location is provided prior to the gathering as Santa & his assistant will work very hard, ensuring he looks & dresses as The Real Santa! He & his assistant are available to travel longer distances & for extended times for those extra special events for extra special occasions for additional fee to cover costs. **Santa will not be seen eating or drinking within public view. Please provide private bathroom, separate from one used by the public. Reasonable breaks are necessary. He hopes to arrive & depart secretly & separately from public entrances **
