I had a "photos with Santa" event for clients of mine. We had a great group of families stop by for photos and activities. Santa Ricky was easy to communicate with prior to the event and also showed up early and well prepared on the day of event. Families went up on stage to take photos with him throughout the event. During any "lull" times, Santa Ricky was quick to engage with the kids and at one point had them all up in a circle for story time. He had a bag of props like Reindeer antlers amongst other things and did a "show and tell". Every child was memorized and completely focused on him. Since I was the event host, I did not get to experience much of it up close and personal, but just about every parent came up to me at some point saying how amazing our Santa was. I was honestly surprised at how many comments people made, but he clearly stood out to everyone. People commented on how good he was with the kids, his calm demeanor, and his ability to engage with kids of all ages and personalities. He even turned some skeptics into believers again! I will hire and refer Santa Ricky with confidence every holiday season.

Incredible doesn’t even come close to describe how amazing and magical it was to have Santa and Mrs Claus come to our Christmas party! Immersed in character and showing so much care for everyone in the room mixed in with jolly laughter. I 10/10 would recommend Salem Santa and plan to hire Mr and Mrs Claus for future events
