Santa Smith was fantastic to work with – engaged, charismatic, and so much fun. You made the photoshoot easy and enjoyable, and the kids loved you. And having Minty there was the perfect addition and made everything perfect! Thank you again for being such a wonderful Santa Duo.

They were amazing! The interaction with the children and the families was amazing. I have been doing this party for years and this was the best Santa we have ever had.

FABULOUS! Santa Smith & Minty absolutely exceeded our expectations at our fourth annual Polar Express Event! They had so much energy and were able to captivate a room full of 40 kids! Santa was warm, animated and so authentic. Minty matched the energy and saved the day during some technical difficulties! Together they created an unforgettable experience!

You better watch out…there will NEVER be pouting or crying with this duo! Everyone raved about how engaging and authentic both presented themselves. We are definitely booking them for next year!

Santa Smith truly went above and beyond for our 3 and 5 year old. Not only does he look just like the real deal, but he took the time with the kids and was so prepared ahead of time and made their interaction so special. Core memory for our family and Santa Smith will be the Nuñez family Santa from here on out! Thank you!

Lauren & Timmy Nunez
