A holly jolly experience !

I booked Santa Steve for a work event and couldn’t have been happier! He was on time and worked with our chaotic roaming schedule effortlessly!

Our attendees were so excited to have Santa attend. His costume and personality were all top notch!

Highly recommend and look forward to booking again!

Response from Santa Steve:

Actually contacted the client two to three hours prior to the scheduled time to inform them that due to unusually heavy traffic and fog I was running two hours behind. Told them I would not be able to make it. He is correct that I did not respond to calls that night however according to the message sent I had already canceled and told them I would refund all monies. Apologized profusely however with closures on a major parkway and the weather I could not make it before 10 pm. I give him one star for not reading the message!

Santa Steve Made The Event

Santa Steve assisted with a 2020 Christmas Eve proposal to my long-time girlfriend. Given the uncertainties with COVID, I was light on details until very close to the date. We ultimately decided on holding the event in our lobby. Santa Steve sat out unsuspecting group of four down and mesmerized everyone by saying hello to everyone in our group by name (Santa knows everyone, of course). He then said incredibly kind things about my girlfriend and really played up the surprise. After the proposal, he stuck around to take all the pictures we wanted. Santa Steve made this event truly unforgettable. 15/10 would recommend: could not have been more impressed. He made the proposal unforgettable. Thank you Santa Steve!

Response from Santa Steve:

This had to be one of the best appearances I have made. It was very emotional for all of us as we were able to pull off the surprise without a hitch! We all shed tears of happiness when she said “Yes, of course, Yes”.
A beautiful couple I wish them many years of happiness, love, magic and wonder.
Congratulations Dan and Cathy!

Amazing Santa

Santa Steve came to visit us this outside this weekend, and we were blown away! He was so kind and thoughtful with all of the children, and adjusted his approach based on different personalities and ages of the kids. Far better than any mall Santa experience. We will definitely book him again, and if you go with him -you will not be disappointed!

Amazing!!

Santa Steve is truly a professional! He is so amazing with both kids and Adults. He came to our event for our pre-K students- they come from a poor neighborhood and let me tell you- he went above and beyond!!! During the event he took the time out to sit with each child-listen to them and gave them a small gift. Magical. He engaged both the parents and adults. Took pictures! Told stories!!! He has amazing props as well- reindeer bells- real leather naughty or nice list! His costume was superior to anything we have seen. Super easy to get a hold of. I can’t say enough great things.

Best Christmas Experience Ever, especially for the kids!

Santa Steve was great, well above my expectations. We maybe have been his last appointment of a very long day, but he treated it like it was his first, high energy and cheery! The kids in my family are terrified and shy of Santa, and we were nervous the kids wouldn't go to him, but instead, they went to him right away! We were shocked. He truly is amazing, especially with his Christmas stories, and he was very funny, keeping everyone engaged and happy. Will definitely book him again next season! Merry Christmas!

Perfection!

Santa Steve was the definition of Santa - from his excellent Santa suit to the way he naturally interacted with the kids (and the kids at heart). He took time to make sure every kid felt like he/she was the center of Santa's universe. This was a work party, and this morning I received nothing but rave reviews from parents who said that Santa Steve made them a believer!

The real Santa

Santa Steve made our Christmas party a magical evening. He had such a nice demeanor and was amazing with all of the children. Both children and parents were in awe, and if any were in doubt, they are now true believers. He made the evening very special and we hope he will join us again next year.

It was such a pleasure working with Steve. He was punctual, professional and amazing with the children! My own children couldn't stop talking about "santa" all night. He was even able to make a little girl who was petrified of Santa so comfortable that she took her picture with him!
I will definitely use him again!

The Real Deal!

I probably don't have enough space to say all I want to say about Santa Steve! He was amazing, memorized both children and adults, went the extra mile! From the moment Santa arrived, it was clear he was the real thing - his suit was fantastic and arrived with bells ringing! So much so that one child was turned back into a believer! Do not have any hesitation in hiring Santa Steve for your event. Words can't express how amazing he is!
