The only Santa you need for your holiday entertainment. Santa Edward was extremely professional and communicative right from the get-go. This was our first time hosting a Santa with 10 toddlers and he was knowledgeable about how to interact with the age group and the reality of the age group which made the experience that much better. Santa Edward took pictures, read a book, and even sang a song with them. If you are seeking a Santa for your event, look no further. Thank you, Santa Edward !

Thanks ever so much for your kind words, Juliet!
Santa was great with the kids and the adults. He brings a Christmas Magic that everyone enjoys. Wonderful Christmas in July. The children are so excited for Christmas! Best Santa I have ever seen. If I didn't know any better, I would think Santa really existed. Thank you for bringing Christmas magic to our party!

Santa Edward made my family / friends Christmas party a one to remember! Good communication prior to the event, on time, open to requests, and extremely patient amongst a crew of 15 young children. Highly recommend! Thanks Santa!
