Santa Tom was wonderful! We have a very warm pool deck & he took his time, even though it was unbearably warm, to greet everyone enjoying the pool. He read the kids a book, answered their questions & took pictures with them before leaving. Would 100% hire him again.

Merry Christmas!

Santa Tom was WONDERFUL at our event! He was so personable with each and every child and made it a point to actively greet everyone in house. He read a story, took plenty of pictures, and was jolly the entire time. His suit was so believable, the real beard was perfect, and overall just made our event perfect!!

Santa Tom was the best! He contacted us the day before to go over party details. On the day of the event, he arrived on time and brought laughter and smiles to everyone’s faces. We sang, took pictures, and truly loved enjoyed his presence. Will hire for next year ASAP.

Santa, Tom was an addition to our event we could not have done without! He made guest feel like the holidays were here in October. We held a holiday expo event in which we showcased our venue and holiday decor. He was engaging with guests; without him this holiday expo would have been a little less sparked.

Wow! This is wonderful! Thank you very much for this glowing review. I had a great time too and look forward to any future events you might want me for.
Merry Christmas!
Santa Tom

Santa Tom was kind, responsive, communicative and professional leading up to our event. He was on time, more than ready and absolutely incredible during our party, which is saying a lot considering it was 100-degrees outside for a Christmas in July celebration. He was everything we expected and so much more-- engaging, funny, informative and unflappable. We never felt rushed-- he took his time with every child (and adult!), and he really made it feel like Christmas. So much so that one of our guests booked him immediately for actual Christmas. The children who were at the party are still talking about all of the cool facts they learned about Santa a few days later. Who knew that Santa would become such a special and beloved summer memory for our family. If he was this good in the middle of July just imagine how much more magical your Christmas will be with Santa Tom. Could not recommend Santa Tom more highly-- the best!

Aww! I'm blushing from this wonderful review! I'm glad everyone enjoyed my visit. I too had a great time! Have a great summer and fall and I'm drop by again on Christmas Eve, but I expect everyone to be asleep!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Santa Tom!

Santa Tom went above and beyond with the role of Santa. The Santa outfit, the North Pole backdrop and all of the questions my daughter’s ask him and he answered every one of them. We had a virtual meeting with him. He’s an absolute gem. Please do your self a favor, if your ever in need of a Santa Claus, Santa Tom is an excellent choice. A+++

Santa Tom is amazing! The kids loved him! I loved the way he was with the children! He by far exceeded my expectations! He was very knowledgeable about who he was and where he came from! He was terrific!

Santa Tom was the perfect addition to my sons party. He was on time, communicated leading up the event, took pictures with the kids and even interacted with the DJ games. He was the hit of the party. Thank you Santa Tom!

Tom was professional and so compassionate with each child that came to the party. He took the time to make each one feel special and had the adults signing right along! We will be having him back every year!

We loved Summer Santa Tom. He spent time talking to each child. He led everyone singing carols.
The Grandfathers were the most impressed with his rapport with the kids.

Santa Tom was excellent! He was so easy to work with, easy to engage with the kids and best of all...the perfect addition to our Christmas festivities! The kids faces when they saw Santa at the door was unforgettable. With everything happening, it was so nice to see the magic of Christmas in their eyes when they saw Santa at the door. Thank you for making their Christmas magical!

Santa Tom came to our home Christmas Day and the kids absolutely loved him. He was an excellent story teller and engaged the children in conversation and held the attention the entire time. A true professional and one of the best Santas you could ever ask for. We highly recommend him for any event and will gladly have him back to our home for future Christmas’ going forward.

Santa was amazing!! He was wonderful with the kids. We want to book him for next year already!! Amazing experience.

You did an amazing job, I love how you did the whole background. You actually looked like you were calling from the mail room at the north pole. I will definitely be coming back next year

Response from Santa Tom:
Thank you very much Alexandrea for this great review! I was in my mail room at the North Pole and enjoyed my call with your family. Merry Christmas to all!

Santa Tom was amazing. During these tough times we couldn’t go see Santa due to Covid, but this experience was so magical. Santa Tom read “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas “. We all had a great time!

Thank you so much, I can't tell you how happy you made my daughter. I really loved how you had the whole background set up and everything. You really did look like you were calling from your mail room in the north pole. I really hope you will be doing this next year because I will definitely be contacting you again.

Response from Santa Tom:
Thank you for this great review! I'm glad everyone had a good time and I wish your family Merry Christmas!

Santa Tom was amazing! He came to our home where we had 13 children ranging in ages from 3 to 9 and they were thrilled to see him! He was funny, engaging, and made every child feel special. He did a great job talking to them about Santa, elf on the shelf and the Reindeer and truly exemplified what the season means to little ones! If you are looking for an authentic Santa, he's the one!
I can’t thank Santa Tom for the amazing event he provided our family and friends! He is authentic and provides 1st class service. Highly recommend!

Santa Tom loves this review! I had a great time with the children of all ages and glad everyone enjoyed the party! Merry Christmas to all of you!

I can’t even put into words how magical this entire experience was. Santa Tom was incredible with all of the children. Never skipped a beat with any question the children asked him. We plan on using Tom again next year and every year after. This was so perfect. Thank you so much.

Santa Tom was amazing. Easy to reach, communicate with, flexible and fabulous. My kids and their friends could not get over having The Real Santa at their part. Thanks a million to Santa Tom! Hope to see you again next year.

We were overly surprised with everything that Santa Tom dud with our young ones, we sang, he explained so much to the young inquisitive ears & eyes!!! Had patience and spent time with each child. Ended the night with a reading of the night before Christmas! He was great!

Did a great job even when the kids were not wanting any part of it. Great job Santa Tom!!

Thank you for this very nice review! As we discussed, perhaps we can do a Zoom call with Santa to hear what they want and maybe as a way to get them use to talking to Santa. I'll contact you to set this up.
Santa Tom!

Santa Tom visited my child at our home and every moment was a magical experience, or as my son called it “the best day ever”. Santa told stories from the North Pole and interacted so naturally and beautifully with everyone. It could not have gone any better.

Santa Tom was amazing!! His costume, his props and his mannerisms were excellent. He took the time to talk to the kids and made our event extra special and magical. I have a 4 year old son who was truly mesmerized by him and loved meeting the real Santa. We would be happy to have him at our next event next year :)

He was really great with children and adults. I could not have asked for anything more

Santa Tom is not only the most authentic Santa my entire family has experienced but he is an amazing person. His heart felt words he shared with my son on his first Christmas was nothing like we ever experienced. There was not a dry eye in our home. If you are ever in need of Santa Tom book him do not look any further, he is beyond terrific.
Thank you Santa Tom for a wonderful memory that will last us all a life time.
