Santa Al is absolutely the perfect Santa!!

This was our first time using Santa Al for a party we had been hosting for years. The Santa we had always used retired and we were worried we wouldn’t be able to find a Santa as good. Boy were we wrong!! Santa Al is the real deal - his suit is impeccable, his beard real, and, most importantly, he has the Christmas magic twinkle in his eye!! He is kind, calm, patient, and even our youngest children who were scared of other santas warmed right up to him! He took the time to answer the children’s questions and waited patiently when some children were tongue tied upon being with him. We plan to use Santa Al every year from here on out. Thank you, Santa Al, for making the spirit of Christmas come alive for all of us, children and adults alike!!

He looked so real!

Santa Al was great I would give him a 100 stars if I could! The kids (and adults) really enjoyed seeing him. He was so good with the kids I can't say enough we will definitely bring him back next year.

Santa Al is wonderful!

Santa Al attended our neighorhood’s annual North Pole party with about 40 children. He read The Night Before Christmas and greeted the children with an update from the North Pole. Then, did visits and pictures with the kids. He is a great and authentic looking Santa! Real white hair and beard and his costume is very high quality. Everyone at the party commented on what a good Santa he was! Photos complimentary of Bear Lane photography and with permission of the parents. Very communicative and super easy to book and work with. Thank you, Santa Al!

Magical Experience

Having Santa Al at our Brunch made this event our best, most successful event to date! He came fully prepared, decked from head to toe in character. He literally even smelled like peppermints. His costume was of great quality. He had great communication form the day we booked till the end of the event- He responded to all messages within minutes. He was gentle and kind and all the kids loved him! We will definitely be using Santa Al for years to come! Two thumbs up!

What to expect

The most often heard words are "You have a sparkle in your eyes" and "I think you are the real Santa", I am told that the magic of Christmas is evident in me. I have a gentle confidence in the suite that seems to calm children.

About

I have worked as the Santa for UVA Basketball,several Country Clubs, The Upper Shirley Plantation, Starbucks, C&F Bank, Fort Lee military, Breakfast with Santa at Wegmans, numerous individual businesses and a few parties. My Santa services are about making Christmas as special as I can for children.
I also do a benefits each year to help put food in the Powhatan food pantry and did Christmas with several local nursing homes.
I no longer go into private homes.

Additional booking notes

Temperatures should be below 75 due to the heat of the suite, also outdoor has to be controlled when weather is an issue.

Set list

I can read the night before Christmas, The Biblical Christmas Story or other stories at your request.
