We were invited to a private event to provide live music/entertainment. I must say, Santa Boaz stole the show! Great with kids, adults and musicians!
10/10 would recommend Santa Boaz for any event!!
Thanks for rocking out with us Santa!

My children had an amazing time with Santa. Thank you so much for doing what you do. You have a very special place in our hearts.

We’ve had wonderful Santa’s in the past but Santa Boaz has definitely been the most interactive of them all.

He was patient with our 15 & 18 months toddlers but he could have been a bit more energetic and in the santa character.

We ABSOLUTELY LOVE Santa Boaz! We host a Santa each year for our customers and their families and he is just the best! He truly loves what he does and is FANTASTIC with the kids. He listens to each one of them as if he's making a list and checking it twice. We look forward to this event each year.

Santa Boaz

As usual Santa Boaz was amazing. We use him yearly for our children’s Christmas party! I can’t imagine having another Santa! He is the real deal. Even during Covid he made the experience special and as amazing as every!

Was very flexible Understood children well. Would use him again.

From beginning to end could not have been better. Our little girl is still talking about it

Was not worth that money. He didn't pass out the gifts, told my family members he didn't care about them, and then had my 80 yr old mom sit on his lap saying ridiculous things. The problem was he didn't do what I sent him to do. It seemed like he was drinking. I can't be sure, but he wasn't even dressed when he got here, which made it hard to stall without giving the surprise away. It took him 15 min to dress outside, and by then they were all guessing what was going on. It ruined the whole surprise. I was so upset. I wanted it to be perfect, but I was totally letdown. I'm out $175.00 for what???

Veronica,
I am sorry you feel this way about the Santa Visit that you wrote on 01/01/19 at 1:25am.
I wish you and your family a wonderful 2019.

Captivating & merry! Santa Boaz made 9 children, ages 10 to 2, Believe in his special Magic, and 14 adults too. His demeanor was the perfect blend of controlling the crowd and patiently listening and conversing with each child. He made this family have a Tiny Christmas miracle!

Maria,
Thank you for the excellent review. I enjoyed meeting your family and the interaction. Santa Boaz

We hold an event in partnership with the Houston Rockets each year. We donate 100 beds to local children in need. It is very important that the event is kid-focused. Hiring Santa Boaz was the best decision! Our previous Santa had to cancel last minute and Santa Boaz was able to assist us in a short notice. He was very professional, arrived on-time, and was very kind. He was Incredible with the kids. I'm sure the kids were overwhelmed and excited to see him and he handled the chaos like a champ. He knew exactly how to be playful with them and he even walked around and interacted with the kids and their families when the photos were done. His costume was beautiful and you could tell he takes great pride in his work. But, best of all, he just loved on the kids for a good two hours and you could tell it meant the world to them.

Brittany,
Thank you for the outstanding review. The compliments and thanks should go to Ashley HomeStore and the Houston Rockets. You all gave the children a gift of love and caring and your volunteers were there every step of the way. . My heart was trilled to see their faces and exhilaration when you told them that they were receiving the beds as a gift. Not only did you donate the beds, you also gave the mattresses, sheets, pillows, books and other wonderful gifts and to top it off you delivered the beds to each home. The children also got dinner, a tour of the Houston Rockets locker room, autographed pictures of Houston Rockets Stars and photos with Santa Claus. You are to be commended. Thank you as a fellow Houstonian. This was truly a joyful event.

I have been hosting a Santa Party for the last 4 years. This was the first year we had Santa Boaz visit with the kids. He was amazing and the kids loved him. I will definitely want to book him again.
