What satisfied clients are saying about Santa Duane
"Santa brought the magic back to our home! Our 7-year-old son is a firm believer, while our 6-year-old daughter had started to doubt. After Santa’s visit, both kids were absolutely thrilled for hours! In fact, our daughter told her cousin all about it and is now a believer again. Santa was amazing with both the kids and the adults. His appearance was flawless—so authentic and convincing. This experience was truly special and made Christmas feel magical for our family this year." - A Ross. December 2025
"We had Santa Duane come to our work Christmas party to give out some small gifts to our staff members children, who were a range of ages from babies up to teens. He arrived looking very authentic, gloves, beard, boots, glasses alongside the usual hat and coat. He looked so much like what we imagined a Santa would look like, we were thrilled. He spent time with each child and was fun and entertaining. We got the most amazing pictures of him with each child. We all loved him. One of our younger staff members even came and sat with him for photos. We thoroughly recommend !" - Sonya K. December 2025
"Duane was absolutely believable as Santa and interacted very well with children and took time for photos and questions! Would 100% recommend him to anybody and use him again!" - Sandy M. 2025
"We asked Duane (aka Santa!) to take on the important role of Secret Santa this year, and wow — who knew 35 adults could turn into excited kids at the mere sight of him?
His gift-giving came with so much humor, heart, and attention that even the 9-month-old didn’t shed a tear.
Thank you for adding so much magic to our staff Christmas event!" - Jacqui D December 2025
"You'd have to travel to Lapland to get a better Santa than Duane! Luckily, he's right here in Hawke's Bay!
We've just relaunched our brand and needed a fun way to reconnect with our clients just before Christmas. Duane was super easy to work with and came with all the bells and whistles. We had such a great video shoot and Duane - I mean - Santa was even in character for the in-between moments for kids passing on the street. So stoked, Book him for all your Christmas themed events. Easily the best Santa in town!" - Elliott - Forge & Foundry December 2025
"We were thrilled to have Santa join us in our small business during the Christmas period to help bring some joy and excitement to our customers.
Duane didn’t disappoint. He was kind and warm from the moment he arrived. There was a real buzz as he stood outside waving at cars driving past, greeting customers as they came inside and making all the children feel happy to have met Santa.
Thank you Duane for bringing a sense of happiness to our workplace." - Emily Whiu - Mamasdonuts December 2025
