Santa Jim - Capital City Santa

We hired Santa Jim for our dance studio Christmas show. He danced onto the stage with our tap dancers, helped usher in our curtain call and then had photo ops with individual dancers and big groups. One of our teachers (she is 27) said she now truly believes in Santa after meeting Santa Jim. He is amazingly genuine and "real" with the children. I listened to him talk to them and he was so sincere without talking down to them and he was not putting on a show - he WAS SANTA!

From start to finish, it was a wonderful experience working with Santa Jim. His communication was fantastic, and his willingness to help and answer any questions to make our event special was evident from the start. This was our first event with Santa coming, so he was very helpful with giving us ideas on how to make it unique and special for our client's children. One thing that stood out to me was he was so easy and natural with the little ones. He wasn't at all pushy and let them come to him. We were fortunate to have plenty of time that the kids could go to him as they felt comfortable, and for some kids, it took a couple of times before they felt comfortable enough for their picture. But each time, Santa Jim would give that child, or group of children, his undivided attention and was so good at interacting with them. It was a pleasure to watch it all unfold. We highly recommend Santa Jim for your holiday-themed party! You will not be disappointed.

I hired Santa to do a promotional photo session. Santa was an absolute joy to work with. He was incredibly patient with a toddler who needed to warm up to him, and his good nature helped all the kids feel comfortable. He was full of ideas that could benefit both of us, and I loved that he has prior photography experience to chat about.

Kiddos had a good time! Amazing that kids always ask if the beard is real! It was!

Santa Jim was wonderful, we hosted a client event and everybody absolutely loved him.
