Great job Santa!

Santa Chip was the best. On time and all the children were so happy. He read, told stories, and spoke to each child. I would recommend him if you need a real Santa.

Fun and engaging for kids (and adults!) of ALL ages

Santa Chip added the "magic touch" to our Christmas party. We had 17 kids, mostly boys, ranging from ages 18 months to 14, and Santa Chip really engaged with them giving a great lesson on reindeer antlers (with an actual antler!) and the physics of sleigh flying. The kids loved it! He was great about family photos and handing out presents and made all the kids feel extra special and comfortable. Santa Chip made my party planning very easy: he was professional, on time and very accessible via text/phone in the days leading up to the party. For our next Christmas party, we hope Santa Chip visits us again!

Santa Chip was the best!

We held a Pet Photos with Santa event to benefit the Clinton Police k9 unit and Santa Chip was a hit! We photographed over 50 dogs with him and had a huge turnout for the event. He arrived early, helped with set up and was very patient with all the unruly dogs! I would highly recommend Santa Chip and I hope we can use him again!

Real Santa

Santa Chip was great, friendly with kids and answered all their questions.
He showed up 30 minutes before his scheduled time and he made my daughters Birthday party very special. Looks like the real Santa! All kids were so Happy.
We will definitely hire him again!

Great Santa with a great message!

Santa Chip was perfect for our kids Christmas party! He was sincere and funny and made sure he spent one on one time with every kid. He told the kids that all he really wanted was for all of them to be kind. He really got everyone into the Christmas spirit 🎅

As advertised!!!!!!

Santa Chip was on time and professional. He was excellent with the children taking time to speak to each one and hand out gifts. When it came time to do photos he made every effort to encourage participation and ensure great pictures. He will definately be my first call or recomendation in the future...

Brought lots of magic to the event!

My family was so surprised and all wanted to know where I found such an authentic looking and entertaining Santa! Every adult said, "wow! He was awesome!" Our two youngest whispered to their mom " mom, I think he's the real Santa?, ," Mom is he the real Santa?". Very very enjoyable. We never felt rushed. Santa Chip arrived early but not before calling me to make sure it was ok. He helped give out 20 presents and posed with each guest and then group photos. Told jokes, told the kids about all of his keys, asked the kids to share memories. A night to remember!

An authentic pirate even buried the treasure!

Our 6-year old son's birthday was a success because of our visit from this authentic pirate! His attire was perfect. He captured the kids imagination and most importantly, their attention, while he lead them through our backyard in search of his buried treasure in his treasure chest. After the kids dug it up, they split the loot which included chocolate coins. His presence gave our party the structure we needed. Whew!

The kids loved looking for treasure!

We had Captain Hains at our library during our "Pirate Training Camp" week, and he did a great job giving insight into a pirate's life! The kids loved looking for treasure around the program room, and the photo ops at the end were a hit with parents as well! Thanks so much Captain Hains!

Event went well

Santa showed up around the scheduled time and he walked through the dining room semi full of guest and so that wasn't the 5 star experience, maybe arriving a little early so he could have a game plan.
Event went well, caught santa leaning on the wall sometimes, (not that everyone payed atteintikn to detail but I did) he did a good job overall it was just the small details. Would hiring him again but would have to iron some wrinkles ahead of time. Merry Christmas

Great experience with Santa Chip

We hired Santa Chip for a small two family holiday get together. We had five children, age 4-10. Santa Chip interacted with the children. He shared some fun reindeer facts. He handed out presents. He listened to Christmas requests. He posed for LOTS of pictures. He read a story to the children. Overall a great experience. We hope to utilize Santa Chip again in the future.
