Santa Jeff graciously accommodated us with a last-minute booking on a Saturday night, surprising our boys! They were ecstatic to see him and loved learning about his workshop and reindeer. We will undoubtedly use his services again. He truly embodies the Christmas spirit more than anyone we’ve ever encountered.

Santa Jeff always enjoys coming to your house. Everyone was having so much fun, and it was a joy to see so many smiling faces. Your cookies are always the very best and I am so thankful to be allowed to be there to enjoy the love among your family. Thanks so much for the great review.
Santa Jeff was better than I could have imagined! Best storyteller, beautiful authentic Santa suit, remembered the kids’ names when talking to them. Truly made the season for us! Look forward to having Santa Jeff visit for years to come!

Santa really enjoyed your wonderful Christmas party. The children were adorable, and their parents were a lot of fun. Your words were so kind, and I truly look forward to seeing everyone again next year. It was my honor to have been a part of the celebration of Christmas with you and your friends.
We just had our family get together and Santa Jeff come and he had every child mesmerized by his jolly laugh and wonderful story telling! Our grandchildren range from 10 yrs to 1 yr and every one enjoyed Santa Jeff! Will have no doubt in booking him again! Thank you!!!

Santa Jeff was great! He came out for a community that we hosted to raise money for a local non profit. He arrived on time in Santa's sleigh ( a red Ford F150) and had a great costume and personality. He was great in the photos and working with the photographer and the kids enjoyed him as well. He even fielded a lot of questions on the magic of Santa and how the reindeer fly and handled it all beautifully! He never broker character and was great with the kids.

Santa Jeff was amazing!! The kids loved sitting and having their own special moments with him. This was my first experience with having to rent a Santa, but I would 100% say that I made the right choice. We will definitely be using Santa Jeff next year. Thank you!!

Response from Santa Jeff:
Shelia, thank you so much for your wonderful review. I had so much fun enjoying all the smiling and happy faces at your event. Looking forward to helping again at your next Christmas event in the Chattanooga area.
As a photographer and a Mom, I’ve worked with a few Santas, and I was blown away by how great Santa Jeff was. I was the photographer at an event where he was the Santa, and he was just awesome to work with. He was great with the kids- spent time with each one asking what they wanted for Christmas and made them laugh. He also sang with them, and he knew how to work the camera with great poses and expressions (key if you want good Santa pics). 10/10 recommend!

I can not rave enough about how wonderful Santa Jeff was at our holiday fundraising event! We had over 200 kids and he made every single one of them feel special and gave them time to talk to him in the 3 hrs he was with us. He was so sweet and authentic. We had so many people ask how they could book him in the future as well. We look forward to booking him again soon!
