Reviews

  • 5/5 stars

    Santa Steve was great.
    He called ahead and loaded our gifts into his own beautiful bag before appearing. He read a story, and sang some songs. He even answered questions from the kids regarding Mrs. Santa Claus.
    Very good.

    He was WONDERFUL! He was very interactive with both the children and adults! I am glad that we decided to try a new Santa this year. We will definitely use him next year! He had a wonderful beard and a very genuine, "Ho. Ho. Ho." He even stayed around a short bit afterwards for more pictures. I DEFINITELY recommend Santa Steve!
