Thankful

We needed a Santa at the last minute due to our Santa falling ill just 2 days before our event. We are so thankful to Santa Dana for filling in for us. The party goers were thrilled with him and their time with him! Thank you Santa Dana for your time and making our event so memorable for the party goers!!!

Hired as: Santa Claus

100% Santa

Hired Santa for multi family event on Christmas Eve. 7 kids ranging in age 7-2. I didn’t think much of the magic we would have by hiring Santa; but it is now my favorite Christmas event. I would 100% rather do this with my money over some other things we have tried.

He had all the kids believing. 1 kid was a doubter and he doesn’t doubt anymore. Multiple special needs children. The 7 year old never would go near Santa braved his first visit and loved it. A small Christmas miracle to some; but monumental for us. We are so proud of him for going to visit with Santa.

Santa was very attentive to sensory needs of kids in the room and managed the room beautifully. Special needs or not; he is the living embodiment of Santa and something my family needed.

Additional booking notes

In order to provide the best experience possible, Santa Dana asks that clients refrain from smoking in his presence. This insures that he can provide quality entertainment to multiple clients in a row without concern of aggravating someone else's health due to lingering scents.

Please also have a selected area/chair for Santa Dana to sit in while reading stories/passing out gifts as this helps with crowd control.
