Santa Dan braved the 110 degree day and the kids enjoyed his visits! He had a short sleeve Hawaii Santa Christmas themed shirt, red nickers and his Santa hat. We had a Christmas In July Vendor Fair.

Santa Dan was absolutely everything we could have hoped for. Authentic beard, gorgeous suit and kind voice. I will also add that he's about 6'5" which made him seem larger than life to the kids. They were in awe. He took the time to learn names and bios ahead of time so that the kids felt the magic. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to book the real Santa!
My granddaughter was a little Leary at first, but he sang songs and read a book to her. She LOVED him and has not stopped talking about him.
Santa Dan was on time and professional. The children really enjoyed him.

Santa Dan was so fantastic at our event. He was fun, sweet, jolly, and kind. He answered all the kids questions, took time to take pictures and listen to each child’s wish list, he read a story with Mrs. Claus, and even played the piano! He made our Christmas breakfast the best event of the year! Would hire him again in a heartbeat!
So perfect. It was so good to meet the “ real” santa. He was just wonderful! Made my Christmas for sure!

Santa Dan made our office Christmas party! He made everyone feel like a kid again. I am already planning to book him for next year and beyond.

Santa Dan was on time. He was in very detailed dress and the kids and adults ALL loved him! He let each kid know they were on the nice list. I will use Santa Dan whenever a need for Santa pops up. Even kids that never seen Santa before were comfortable with him. Santa Dan was cheery, bright and loved by all. I am so glad that we found him. Santa Dan was the rave of our Employee Family party for 2023.

Thanks so much Cathy, I had a great time with everyone.
Absolutely loved having Santa Dan show up to my Christmas piano recital. He surprised everyone by playing our closing piece with us. Parents were so pleased to be able to have their kids photos taken with Santa. Santa Dan added that magical touch. Thank you so much! 😊

Thanks Cody, I had so much fun, and the cookies, WOW!!! What more can I say besides Ho Ho Ho!
Santa Dan is a fantastic Santa. My daughter lit up when she saw "Santa" walk through our door. Santa Dan did a great job talking with my daughter, and made the experience very memorable for her. She often says, "Remember when Santa came to our house? We need to call Santa, and tell him what I want. He needs to come back to my house." Santa Dan is kind, patient, and really adds to creating a nice Christmas memory.

After we popped our eyes back in our heads, I think our first words were, "woooow!". Santa Dan has that larger-than life presence. He filled the doorframe and our hearts with Christmas magic! The first impression just gets better and better. Santa Dan embodies classic cheer, joyfulness, and that jolly-holiday vibe head to toe and from the inside out. Highly recommend hiring him for truly memorable holiday fun!

About
The magic of Christmas has always played an important role in Santa Dan's life. Many of his earliest memories involve a wonderland of Christmas decorations, holiday parties, the sounds of festive Christmas music, the smells of baking and candy making, and the delicious tastes associated with Christmas that were so lovingly created by his mother each year.
As an adult, Santa Dan has tried to carry on this tradition with his own family, while also creating new Christmas traditions as a Director of Music/Organist for large churches. These include elaborate musical programs, concert series, and holiday themed duet concerts with his wife.
His journey to becoming Santa Dan began during a long-term recovery from a serious illness, resulting in the growth of his now iconic white beard. Little did he know that his resemblance to the jolly old man in red would lead him to a new and heartwarming calling. Santa Dan has not only assumed the role of Santa Claus during the holiday season, but also embraced the magical persona throughout the year – enchanting children and adults alike with his colorful wardrobe, genuine warmth and kind-hearted demeanor.
