Overview

Santa Paul's sleigh is parked in Bloomington, MN. Santa Paul has been a real bearded Santa for 18 years, and a part of North-star Santa's for over 15 years, Nationwide Santa's for 8 years, and the IORBS's for 10 years. Santa Paul would love to be your event Santa for private parties, home visits, company parties, restaurants, day care, open houses, business engagements, or church events of all faiths. He has 3 outfits -- "Traditional" Santa with a red velvet suit, the "Workshop" Santa with knickers, and the Victorian / old world Santa suit. I would gladly consider your event within 45 minutes of the Minneapolis area. **All proceeds go to drill wells in Africa.

Best Santa EVER.

Santa Paul was truly the best Santa I’ve ever experienced. So gentle, kind, fun. He took initiative to meet the kiddos and got to know them. He was respectful of the event, truly genuine in his approach to listen and connect with kids individually. I can’t speak more highly of him! Wonderful to communicate with prior to the event and showed up early to make sure everything was set!

Amazing Santa!

He was so entertaining and so engaging to all the kids and adults. Everyone is super impressed. Feedback from the other guest at the event was the same across the board. Here is what the guests are saying. The Santa for our event last night was absolutely amazing! It was so fun! All of the kids loved him! He made the event last night!

(I will submit photos once our photographer gets a chance to upload them from last night)

Exceeded our High/Best Hopes

Santa Paul was on time and communicated well with me in advance of our event. Having a real beard and nice outfit really added to the overall effect. Santa Paul remembered the children's names and made the event very warm and homey, as if he had been a part of the Family for ages. He handed out presents, and added fun and intimacy to our get together. I can't express positively enough enough how great our evening was with Santa Paul! Most importantly, he helped added another year of believing in Santa Claus to 3 young children that were beginning to doubt! Thank you Santa Paul!

Legit Santa

Santa Paul showed up to our family holiday party and was wonderful. He was cheerful and jolly, and had a wonderful "Ho Ho Ho". The kids truly believed he was Santa and we're mesmerized by him. We have had Santa before, but Santa Paul is the best! We are going to try to book him every year.

Great Santa!

We had a party at our Senior Living center with family and friends. Santa Paul was great! Great sense of humor, very outgoing and looks and sounds just like Santa! He had a nice and loud "ho ho ho" when he entered the party and when he left the party. I highly recommend him!

Santa Paul did it again!

Santa Paul was great again at cocktails with Santa- showed up on time and worked the entire room of adults. Many times he walked up to people with a "HO HO HO" that made for a very fun experience. Got a video of him shaking cocktails too!
