December 6, 2023Best Santa in Town!
Santa Keith, where do I begin- he had a phenomenal entrance and made everyone around him feel comfortable. All the kids were so happy to see Santa! He came dressed in his suite and really brought the magic out that everyone was looking for. Santa Keith is very kind to work with and he stayed in touch throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend him and have him come back next year. Thank you so much for making the event magical and giving me hope along the way. I appreciate you!

Additional booking notes
Santa Keith requires no food or drinks within 3 meters/10 feet of himself and his Santa Suit.
All of Santa Keith’s suits a custom made, which not only makes them very expensive but also expensive to clean, repair and replace.
Clean hands and faces are very important when in close contact with all Santas.

Setup requirements
The very best chairs for photos and those to sit on Santa’s knee are generally the same chairs in your kitchen or dining room. Often a nice solid Wingback style chair works well as long as it is not to soft. Photos with Santa often look better in front
