Such an Amazing Santa!

We had a large event for non-profit - and Santa was the best! Not only beautiful for pictures but took time to talk to each child! Thank you Santa for making our event such a success! - The Safety Place

Incredible Interactions

Our event was made even more magical by the attention and interaction he gave to our guests. I heard from many people about how believable he was. He was such a great addition to our programming this day at the Children's Museum.

Amazing all around

He showed up thirty minutes early and immediately started being pulled everywhere by the kids upon arrival because they couldn’t believe he was there! He was perfect with the large amount of children at the event and was very responsive to any requests we had!

As for the look of Santa, he’s got that nailed down. Communicates well and very prompt. Price was comparable to others.

Response from The Party Artist:

Thanks! I watched the live stream. The service was moving yet deservedly celebratory of Gov. Roemer. The meaning of Amazing Grace sometimes gets overlooked. The explanation and his connection to that tune was impactful. Take care.

FANTASTIC!!! WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Oh wow! Santa came and made it so magical for the whole family. I actually considered requesting him to come back AGAIN and closer to Christmas bc my girls adored him!

If you’re on the fence, take the plunge! Well worth it 🤍

We had Santa stop by for just a little while and it was so great. He was very kind and had done a wonderful job remembering all of the kids names and ages. The children loved it

Found the renderings to be lacking

appreciated the availability and punctuality of the artists, but the actual artwork for both artists did not at all resemble the subjects. We understand that caricatures are meant to exaggerate/distort, but we couldn't pick out whose was whose when stacked on a table. Also, the results for each artist looked the same no matter who sat for them.
