January 15, 2023Santa Derek embodies the true magic and wonder of Christmas! I wish I could give him 10 stars. He was wonderful with the children and a month later they are all still talking about when Santa came to visit. I highly recommend Santa Derek and am looking forward to seeing him again next Christmas. Thank you Derek!

January 5, 2023This year life has been so busy full of ups and downs, and when I say that I mean remodeling a house, laying six people to rest, and everyday life. Santa Derek knew that I needed this for my children this year he was kind he went out of his way. He is the real deal he looks like Santa he sounds like Santa and most of all he has patient like Santa . It really brings the Christmas spirit into your home. I am forever grateful for Santa, Derek and will be booking him as many times as I can and if you were smart, you would too. Oh yea, my fur baby loved him too!

November 7, 2020I can’t say enough amazing things about Santa Derek! First of all, he looks absolutely perfect. I’m convinced he’s the real Santa. Haha He never broke character (even when he was only around adults and the kids were off playing), he was on time, played with the kiddos, posed different ways in pictures. Before our event, he asked all about each child and was great about keeping in touch and asking all about details for the event. Book Santa Derek immediately!! You will be SO glad you did. I think all of the adults were as excited (if not more) than the kids were! He’s wonderful!!
