December 16, 2024The best Santa Ever!!!
We hired Santa Ed Hatz for a large corporate event. He was on time, professional, and was very good about keeping up the illusion for the children. He looks just like real Santa. He was so patient with the children and easy to work with. I would hire him again in a second.

January 2, 2024Best of the best!
I really don’t have enough words to express how absolutely perfect and magical our experience was with Santa Ed. This was our first year asking Santa to come visit early and Santa Ed rolled with the punches catering to our house full of believers and scrooges alike. I was worried some older kids (who we will not be inviting back again) would ruin the fun, but Santa Ed wasn’t the least bit phased and made our entire experience fun, whimsical, and wholly interactive for both the kids AND adults. Our girls still talk about him and the adults were incredibly impressed. I’m pretty sure Santa Ed is THE Santa!! We HIGHLY recommend him and hope to see him year after year.

December 11, 2023I think this was ACTUALLY Santa
Santa Ed Hatz not only looks the part but knows literally everything about Santa and everything Christmas. I'm pretty sure he is actually Santa pretending to be a Santa for hire. It's the perfect disguise! He can answer any hard-hitting question you can think of and is just a jolly person all around. His suit was incredible and so was the sled he arrived in. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and I'm now looking for any reason to bring Santa back to town!

December 9, 2023He might be the real Santa
Good communication and looked as authentic as possible. Great suit. Great beard. Great rosy cheeks. We had a ton of kids so it was a bit tough to keep them sitting and attentive, but he went with the flow and made himself available around the party for pics and conversation. After he left, kids wanted to know where he went and adults were in awe of how legit he seemed. Holiday magic!
