Great for grown-ups too!

The perfect choice for our annual friend holiday party of about fifty 20-40 year-olds. He was a great sport, reliable, and accommodating. He was very warm and funny and made everyone laugh and smile. Highly recommended!

The best Santa ever!!!

We have been on the hunt for a new Santa to replace our beloved Santa that retired a few years ago and after a couple tries WE FINALLY FOUND HIM!!! The Gentleman Santa was amazing, there is no other way to say it. First of all he is the real deal, looks exactly like him! And his personality...an absolute 10! He was so fun with the adults and so engaging with the kids. They asked a million questions and he answered them with no hesitation and had something clever to say back to every one of them. We fell in love with him and will definitely have him back again next year. Thank you Gentleman Santa for making our Christmas Eve so special!

There is nothing better than a house full of children on Christmas Eve. It was a great privilege to be allowed into your home, and I had a tremendous time! Looking forward to next year!
