I am a real bearded, professionally trained Santa Claus. You are not just hiring a guy in a red suit. I am a trained professional who is background checked annually and insured. I am available for corporate events, community events or home visits.
Lakeland is located 1/2 way between Orlando and Tampa along the I-4 corridor. I can travel further distances with prior arrangements.
I look forward to talking with you about your event.
The one thing we knew we wanted for our work Christmas party this year was a visit from Santa, so we booked months in advance to make sure we got a quality Santa. WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED! The beard, the suit, the smile, the gestures... Santa was impressive! Almost everyone commented on how great his personality and look were, and I even got asked for his contact info because he was so perfect. If you're looking for the real deal Santa, look no further and book quickly before his schedule is full!
Response from Watch4Santa:

Merry Christmas to you all!

Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus did an outstanding job of interacting with our residents at our Christmas party this past Saturday. They were warm and engaging, encouraging even the timid to interact with them. Their costuming was excellent. We were very pleased.
Sincerely,

Thank you for your review. We were blessed to spend time in your community! Everyone was great and you did such a wonderful job in setting everything up.
Santa Tom was incredible!!! He attended my preschool holiday party and was so kind to all the students and parents! Everyone absolutely loved him!!
Response from Watch4Santa:
Thank you so much for the kind review. It was a pleasure to be at your preschool. Everyone was great and you did such a wonderful job!
I have been using a Santa every year for over 10 years for my school event. This Santa was the best one I have ever had. Not only does he look very authentic, but perfect for each age group. And, he has an excellent voice when he sings songs to the children! Highly, highly recommend for any event you may have.
Response from Watch4Santa:
Thank you for your very kind review. It was a pleasure visiting with each of the classes! I look forward to working with you again.
Santa took his time with each child warming them up to him never have a seen a Santa successfully calm every child that was crying enough to where they smiled for him when I tell you he’s the perfect Santa he really is
Response from Watch4Santa:
Thank you so much. I had a wonderful time with the kids, they were all so sweet!
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Santa was so fun and answered so many questions. He reminded us all of the true meaning of Christmas, the celebration and gift of Jesus. It was remarkable. My grandchildren loved him.
Thank you so so much for your personal touch.
Response from Watch4Santa:

Santa Tom was completely a dream from the moment he arrived until he drove off!! His appearance was perfection and his personality even better!! He interacted, spoke, watched, and even sang with us!! Our parents and children were in awe and Santa Tom received so many compliments!! We would for sure highly recommend him and we will for sure look forward to him coming to our annual event next year!! Our party is always fun but having Santa Tom this year was for sure the cherry on top!!
Response from Watch4Santa:

Santa Tom was amazing! The kids loved him and the adults lover him more. He was so fun and kind hearted, jolly soul! He made our Christmas Eve so special and fun.
Response from Watch4Santa:
I had fun being part of your family Christmas Eve celebration! Thank you so much!
Santa Tom far exceeded our expectations. We booked him for 2 hours for a private party for about 20 children and he entertained them (and the adults) for the full 2 hours. Highly recommend!
Response from Watch4Santa:
Thank you! It was a joy to spend the evening with you. The kids were great!!!
He was on time and even after doing pictures we still had him for an hour and the entire time he entertained the kids with singing songs and reading those who would sit still long enough ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas. Santa too was so kind and so great with every single child and really made the whole event so magical. We will definitely be booking him again for next year!
Response from Watch4Santa:
Thank you Jordan! It was a pleasure to be a part of your holiday gathering! The children were wonderful and I enjoyed my time with them. I look forward to visiting with you again.
Santa Tom is such a fun, communicative, detail-oriented professional! Everyone loved having him on set with us and he's our first call next time!
Response from Watch4Santa:
Thank you Jonathan! It was great working with you and look forward to working with you again!
Santa wasn't only Santa for the children, he was also for the adults. This Santa made a brought kids out of all of us.
The children (grandchildren) were in shock and in their moment of a Magical Christmas that this Santa gave them. It was truly the best Christmas Eve gift for all of us. Would highly recommend him and he is the real Santa to me too.
See you next year.
Response from Watch4Santa:
Thank you so much! It was a pleasure being with your family on Christmas Eve. Your grandkids were so loving and personable and the adults were too.

Not only was his look spot on, but his personality and willingness to listen to the kids was amazing. We’re already talking about making plans for next year.

We had so much fun. He was energetic, personable, and a really great addition to our event. We will continue to use him in the future!
Response from Watch4Santa:
Thank you so much! It was a pleasure to work with you.
My 2-year-old daughter was scared of Santa, something normal in her, but after a few minutes with patience and care, Santa got her to show him her toys. Everything was excellent, Santa was very photogenic with everyone and answered the questions of my 6 year old son about reindeer. I will definitely hire him again for next Christmas.
Response from Watch4Santa:
Thank you for your review of my services to you on Christmas Eve. What a joy it was to spend time with your family! Your children were delightful! Tell your son that Mr. Boris has made it back safely to the North Pole. ;-)

We had Watch4Santa for a storewide event at a large department store. He was amazing. We still have customers telling us how great he was. It was our first time booking Santa, and he was professional, courteous, and an excellent communicator. Hire Watch4Santa. He's the best!
Response from Watch4Santa:
Thank you Jennifer! It was a pleasure working with you, Kim, and the store employees. I look forward to working with you again.
We booked him for my mother’s 40th Christmas themed Birthday party. He was fantastic! We had a snow machine, Santa and carolers. It was great. He made sure to pay attention to any and all requests. He is very realistic and was just the cherry on the cake!
Response from Watch4Santa:
Thank you for the opportunity to join you in your celebration. It was my pleasure to be at your party.
He was realistic, genuine, friendly, and professional.
We will be using this Santa for all our Christmas events in the future.
