Fantastic Santa. Santa John was very professional, entertaining, and my children adored him. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking an amazing Santa experience. He was on time, friendly, and open to answering any question from my family on Christmas. His rates were excellent, especially for the quality of service provided.

We LOVED Santa John! He was fantastic - punctual, accommodating, fun, and full of energy. Our party was a bit unconventional. Firstly, it was in July. Secondly, there were no children there. But we wanted a Santa to bring back the whimsy of childhood, and Santa John delivered! He is an awesome story-teller. Loved his delivery! He was on time, happy to be there, and looked like a real genuine Santa. Absolutely recommend for any event! We would definitely book again.

AMAZING! This was the best Santa I have ever worked with. Beyond just posing for pictures, Santa had stories and songs, and props for all of them. He engaged more timid children with pictures of his reindeer. He also stayed in character the entire event. Looks the part, acts the part ... I'm half convinced he IS Santa!

Santa John was great! In fact, he looks more like Santa Claus than his pictures indicate. His stories captivated our children's attention, and he was very accommodating to our requests. I would highly recommend hiring Santa John for your event.

This was the real deal. He made our Christmas celebration one of a kind with his jolly disposition and fantastic ability to engage all the children. I can't give Santa Claus: Stories and Hope enough praise and we are already planning on using him again next year, as are some of our friends who attended our party.

We could not have asked for a better experience, not only did he surpass every expectation, make children's dreams come true, but he was thrown a curve ball by our group of inquisitive six year olds. Santa was practically inter agates with questions and he had an answer for everyone of them. Hiring him was the best thing I did this Christmas! I hope we can get the same one next year! We love him!

It was such a wonderful experience. Everyone was pleased and had a wonderful time. The adults sat quietly while Santa told his stories... The children had a blast.
We are reserving him again next year.

Santa John was amazing. The children loved him and he captured their attention every moment he was there. The adults became believers again. Many said that it was the best Santa experience in their lives. Our organization could not have been more pleased. Santa John's visit was truly magical.

Very Accommodating, unfortunate with the pending storm brewing (Sandy) we had a very poor turn-out but those who were here enjoyed it!
We would love to have back again.

Santa John was not only a pleasure to work with in accommodating our initial schedule and our schedule time but we was also:
-On time;
-Very friendly and sociable;
-Authentic;
-And exceeded our expectations 100-fold
It's without question that we will be using his services yearly.

This was for an annual party that we've been doing for our family for over thirty years. By far, "Stories and Hope" was the best, most exciting, most entertaining Santa EVER!!! Everyone is still talking about what a wonderful job he did and we definately plan to have him back again next year!

Banquet•Reviewed on December 20, 2010•From Baltimore, MD
Santa John was amazing with the children. He far exceeded our hopes. We had about 30 children present and each one of them got to sit on his lap at least once. He took the time with the young children to let them feel comfortable enough and was patient and kind. He did more than was asked of him, when all the kids were done sitting on his lap he came into the playroom and played with them, he arrived early for the event and was professional throughout. My son has his doubts about Santa before meeting Santa John and now is a true believer!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on December 11, 2010•From Woodbine, MD
We had a wonderful experience with Santa John. He arrived on time to my daughters 4th birthday party. He jumped right in and the kids were amazed by him. He started by singing a holiday song with the kids, then told them all a story, allowed each kid (30 of them) to sit on his lap, read them a book, passed out coloring pages and then we asked him if he would stay and help sing happy birthday. We couldn't of asked for a better Santa. Several friends told us how great he was. I would definitely use him next year!! Thank you!

FANTASTIC!! Santa John as wonderful. The parents were so impressed with his proefessionalism. We have invited him back next year. He has such a cheerful effect on the kids, they loved to touch his beard. Can't say enough good things about him. He made our first Santa At Work Visit a complete success.
Happy Holidays....

Santa John is by far the best Santa Claus I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is engaging with the children and a wonderful storyteller (very unique story telling performance). Everyone loved him (adults and children alike). He has a high level of professionalism, was early in his arrival to the event, and very accomodating when we went off the agreed upon schedule. I cannot say enough good things about him and was extremely pleased with his performance. The instant we receive the date for our holiday party next year, I will try to book him again.

Santa John was fantastic! From his merry entrance and North Pole stories to his real beard and jolly laugh, he played the part with enthusiasm and spirit. All 35 adult guests left the party feeling the magic of Christmas and believing in Santa again! Thank you!

Santa Claus: Stories and Hope attended our church Bazaar. He was wonderful with the children and the adults as well. He was enthusiastic and friendly. He was entertaining. He greeted our guests, sang songs, and told stories. Everyone loved him. I can't tell you how many people told me how great he was and wanted to know where I found him. We wanted him mainly for photos but he also walked around talking with people and really made our Bazaar festive. If you are looking for a great Santa, do not hesitate to hire him. I would definitely hire him again.

Our exerience with Santa Claus: Stories and Hope went way beyond our expectations. He made believers out of the "not so sures" and brought smiles to all (even the adults). His interaction with the children was phenominal and his performance was thoroughly enjoyed by the entire family. The children were extremely attentive during his stories and he answered all "Santa" questions without hesitation.
We would highly recommend him to anyone.
