Santa Ray was more than I was expecting. All of my kids were 5 and under. He was so kind and patient. I have never seen such a gorgeous Santa Suit. He truly looked like the real Santa. He was well prepared with the information he asked me to send about each child, and he nailed every detail. I would hire him every year. Thank you so much Santa Ray for a truly amazing experience for my party.
