Professional! Kind! Warm! Closest to real Santa ever!!

We hired Santa Ray for our Santa pictures at PetSuites and Harrisburg and it was one of the most amazing experiences. He did so amazing with the dogs and the people. Kids came with their pets as well as adults and dogs also took pictures with him by themselves. Everyone raved about how authentic and warm Santa Ray was, and his calm, loving, Santa demeanor. I would highly recommend Santa Ray for any event, you will not be disappointed. This is the real Santa folks!

Breakfast with the Easter Bunny

Everyone absolutely enjoyed the interaction with the Easter Bunny at our event. Not only did we do pictures but the Easter Bunny played with the kids, including jenga and ping pong with the kids. Everyone loved it!!! Thank you so much for everything!

Thanks for your kind response. I had a great time with taking pictures with children. And of course playing jenga and ping pong, although my large hands made it a little difficult.

What an amazing experience Santa Ray provided.

There were parents there who were brought to tears as Santa Ray provided an experience that some of their kids, even at the age of seven and eight had never been able to experience. Santa Ray was there to take pictures with all of the EC Skills children. Many of these children have sensory issues and are not able to go in public spaces that may cause them to react. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and Santa Ray went above and beyond with his kindness, his care, his generosity and his love for wanting to see children happy. I would book him every single Christmas and recommend him to every single organization, business, company and Church that I know. God bless Santa Ray and thank you.
