We hired the Easter bunny to come for our office party. He was wonderful! I would recommend to anyone I know!

Such a wonderful event! Santa was engaging, fun and a great communicator! We would definitely invite Santa back.

Thank you! Your hotel made it easy for Santa Chicago to engage in other ways when the Santa chair was not busy.

Great experience with santa! Kids and families love them and he was very accommodating. Loved his chair and spite of the hassle getting it upstairs to the party room. I will definitely reuse their service in the future and recommend them.

We're thrilled to hear that Santa brought so much joy to your event! It's always rewarding to know that we've helped create lasting memories. Thank you for your positive feedback and for the kind words about Santa's chair. We're glad it added to the festive atmosphere, even if it took a bit of extra effort to get it upstairs. We look forward to serving you again in the future!

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 26, 2021•From Highland Park, IL

Thank you for creating more Christmas magic to our family. Santa read my notes before visiting the kids and was able to surprise them with secret tidbits about them, it was wonderful. Thank you!

Santa was fantastic! From the booking process through the conclusion of our event, he was informative, helpful, and easy to work with. We have every intention of calling up on Santa again for next year's event. Thank you!

Santa Chicago - Real Bearded Macy's Santa on a 1 to 5 scale was easily a 10! He was perfect with our believing guests, compassionate and caring with a disabled guest, and, when the people didn't come to him, mingled with the crowd and spread Christmas cheer. Our Christmas party was held for friends and clients at iFly in Naperville. Santa stayed late and stayed in character. He said he wondered how it would be to fly without reindeer, and then took three flights in the tunnel (boots and all). What he added to our party was huge!

:

You made it so easy for Santa Chicago. Santa Chicago had a blast & not just a blast of air. Before your request, indoor sky diving was not on Santa Chicago's bucket list. This has been a year of firsts for Santa Chicago, throwing out the first pitch, getting on TV, & now indoor sky diving!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on December 18, 2017•From Chicago, IL

Whenever I picture Santa Clause, I picture the Real Bearded Santa Chicago!! He was Awesome! The kids loved him, and the ones who didn’t believe, now have doubts! I will definitely hire him again and recommend him to others. He was very professional, on time, well mannered. Interacted with the kids and sang happy birthday for the birthday girl.. Made himself at home!! Thank you again Santa!!! Signed, Zoë and friends.

Santa was perfect! He even drove over an hour in a snow storm to us and arrived on time, He truly is magic! The kids LOVED him and Santa made sure to talk to each of the 15 kids individually was available for pictures for all guests and sat with a few guests and shared a meal with them! Very happy, will hire again!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 17, 2018•From Chicago, IL

Hiring Santa Chicago for our annual Christmas party was the best decision I ever made! All of my guests were completely surprised and everyone had a lovely time. I can't wait until next year!

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 27, 2017•From Bensenville, IL

Santa Chicago was wonderful! The children really enjoyed his visit and he was truly the real-deal. Each child got to take pictures, tell their wishes, and get some wonderfully practical advice in return as well! We will certainly consider him for next year's event! Thanks again!

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 10, 2017•From Chicago, IL

We were quite pleased with our Santa! He looked great, and was able to work the room with ease, taking both posed and candid photos. He handed out little gifts (that we provided), easily differentiating between the 'infant' gifts and the older kid gifts. The kids loved him and it was a nice touch that he brought his own buttons to hand out too. He was late by about 20 mins due to his previous show running long but he handled it very professionally and did not charge us the full amount, which is what I'd expect. I will definitely book this Santa again!

:

Thank you very much for the glowing review.

Christmas Party•Reviewed on January 19, 2018•From Woodridge, IL

I went back and forth on hiring an actor that could roll with things or a more authentic Santa. I chose authentic and couldn't have been happier. He was so gentle and kind. I had 45 kids and 2 hours scheduled. He spent about 2 minutes per child. He beautifully and effortlessly set up shots for parent after parent to capture the magic of the moment while the child was virtually unaware of the pictures. With the remaining time we had he sat on the floor with the children all around him while talking and reading "T'was the Night Before Christmas". My 5th grader, who was on the fence before this, emphatically declared she had met the real Santa!! Whew!! Will book again!!

I am in love! He was fantastic and I think he is the best looking Santa you can find. Just perfect! I had 55 ladies at the party and they all think the same. We also think he has a fantastic costium. I will defenetly hire this Santa many more time. Thank you Santa.

Santa was great and accommodating for our office, as we asked for him to read a poem that one of team members had written and he did it without hesitation.

Community Event•Reviewed on November 27, 2016•From Valparaiso, IN

Santa Gale was great. Looked the part and was very nice and kind. Our community loved Santa Gale! He was even kind of to stick around a little longer than scheduled to get the last few kids in line and to take photos with our sponsors. Thanks again Santa Gale!

Real Bearded Macy's Santa arrived on time to the party and was a big hit. He quickly got in contact with me when i booked and asked what would i like him to do for my family. he did great greeting the children and taking pictures with the family. If my younger cousins were having doubts in Santa they don't anymore. I am very satisfied and would recommend Real Bearded Macy's Santa to all my friends. Hopefully he is available next year.

Chicago Santa was on time and interacted with the young child (4 and under). in a kind and calm manner. I would book Chicago Santa again.

Christmas Party•Reviewed on February 16, 2018•From Rosemont, IL

We hired Santa for our first ever Breakfast with Santa event and he was phenomenal. I received rave reviews from parents and kids! He was professional, on-time, flexible, and authentic. We are looking forward to hosting him again next year.
