January 6, 2026Santa Kevin is the BEST Santa! He did an awesome job at our Christmas party. One little boy told his mom, "This is the REAL Santa! Look at his boots!" He was so good with the children AND the adults - very interactive, very patient and kind with everyone. I can't recommend him enough. Thank you Santa Kevin for the joy that you bring!

December 18, 2025This was for an adult office Christmas party, and it was worth every penny. Santa really is a total go-with-the-flow kind of guy. Very enthusiastic, very accommodating, and excellent communication. I wasn't sure how it was going to be, but I couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you!

December 15, 2024Santa Kevin was fantastic! He was a surprise guest at my son’s 2nd birthday party and was so great. He was jolly, personal and handled the millions of questions from the children with ease. He also made an effort to personalize the experience as much as possible for the kids and our boys too. We would definitely book with him again!

December 27, 2022Santa Kevin was everythjng a Santa should be. He was upbeat and jolly, so kind amd knew how to talk with the children especially getting eye level to them. He was patient with the youngest baby who wanted no part of this scene and so complimentary to the other children. It will be a memory they will treasure even as adults. Thank you so much for working on Christmas eve making a stop at our house before having to leave for the big night!
