Such a great time

I had Santa Garcia come to the retirement community I work at and it was fantastic! The residents and staff all had a great time. He was very friendly and Santa Garcia brought 2 Santa helpers and that they were… they helped residents with food and drinks, they all were very friendly, social and fun! We got so many great pictures, and they actually printed them for us. I would recommend them for sure especially for senior living! Great job!!

The best Santa we could ever ask for!!!!

Santa Garcia was absolutely a blessing to our family this Christmas season. He went above and beyond to make my special needs son's night. He was patient and aware on how to help. We will use him again next year.

BEWARE!

No call, no show, no answering the phone, NOTHING. Once he did finally start answering texts AN HOUR AFTER HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE EVENT, he was as rude as they come. (and I'm sure he will have a snarky response to this review as well because he is NOT a professional business person) Business is business. If you can't conduct business in a timely manner, or give people a heads up that you AREN'T COMING, don't bother being in business. Over 270 KIDS waiting for Santa........... would have been nice to know you weren't going to bother showing up. All it took was one simple phone call or text. Or even ANSWERING your phone would have helped....... And nobody needed your rudeness. Just an answer of WHY you weren't there. Life happens, we get it. But take care of your responsibilities and prior commitments.

No call, no show

Santa Garcia booked for the event, communicated his availability, contracted, and then confirmed his ability to attend on Thursday, 48 hours before the event. On the day of the event he was a "no call, no show" for the event. Our event lead tried calling Santa Garcia when he no showed for the event and Santa Garcia hung up on the day of contact. Two others called him including myself and he did not answer his calls or pick up. It is now Monday, two days after the event and he has still not communicated why he missed our booking.

I have used GigSalad multiple times and never had an issue with the performer. They did offer a full refund on the booking, which we appreciate.

Such a sweet Santa!

We hired Santa Garcia at the Edgewater Public Market for 2 events this December. We've had 1 so far and he was just wonderful. As the line to visit him slowed down he got up and danced around with kids as a band played at the market. He was a joy to work with.

Response from Santa Garcia:

Rick was overly rude. From the get go. Never again vendor were upset with Rick prejudice way. Service animal are allowed anywhere. Your Santa time were wrong. Other saw the same poster l seen 10 -8 Fri and Saturday. 10 - 5. If anyone was sickly looking. I suggest you not look in the mirror. I plan to get a hold of showcase event. You should quit on my scale not even a star. Rick for being a failure. I will be please. Folk were happy with us. In folk we make a additional 267. Dollar for Children miracle. Rick you behavior was nothing less the prejudice. A complaint was sent to DAV and disability about you.

Assisted Living Event

Santa Garcia and his Elf friend showed up reeking of marijuana. There was no communication that there would be an Elf with him either. They were very talkative and friendly, but we felt it was unprofessional to show up to an Assisted living and Memory care high. I felt like I had to babysit them the whole time.

Response from Santa Garcia:

Sorry Kali thanks for your opinion. There were none even. However you have some really ruded staff member. So it's a wash. If l was high maybe your rude staff wouldn't have bother. Your in my book as never again. And warn other of your ruded faliicity.

Santa Garcia was great!

Santa Garcia headlined our shopping center holiday kickoff and did a fantastic job. Kids were enthralled to talk with him, and he really knows his Santa lore. Santa gets high marks but his assistant wasn't dressed to the theme so it was confusing as to why he was hanging around so closely.
