Santa Michael came to visit us for our Corporate Christmas Dinner, and he was an absolute joy! Some may say entertaining adults can be a greater task than children, and our whole team was blown away! We had a fantastic time from singing carols to Santa's jokes, and then photos at the end. Our team could not stop talking about him - they could not believe the attention to detail! Amazing singing voice, very professional, and an all around great Santa. Thank you, Santa Michael!

My guests (all adults) were obsessed with Santa! He was in character, actually got to know some of the guests, played a game with us, sang for us. Everyone legit loved him! Great way to surprise your guests with a fun holiday treat! Highly recommend. Everyone was like where did you find him!? He’s perfect!!
From start to finish my experience with Santa Michael was nothing short of magical. He had a beautiful new suit tailored for this season and it was spot on! His dedication to creating a true Santa presence is truly a work of art. He went above and beyond at my photography studio Santa Experience and will for sure be booked as soon as possible for next year. He was so engaging with the children of all ages who were all sold that this was the real Santa. I am so thankful to have found such an incredible, warm and passionate Santa. Thank you for making my dream sessions a reality. I am so thankful to have booked you.
We got so lucky and we were able to hire Santa Michael for a last minute holiday party for two of our businesses! He’s so much fun and everyone was so happy to meet him! Despite the weather, Santa Michael made the day unforgettable and customers are still talking about how great he was! LOOK NO FURTHER! SANTA MICHAEL is the real deal!!
Santa Michael is the real deal! He brought so much joy and cheer to our holiday Tree Trimming - what a treat! Everyone loved the carols and had a lot of fun. Santa Michael is a joy to work with - extremely professional, a phenomenal singer and very thorough. He really is Santa!

Response from Santa Michael, NYC's "Singing Santa":
I'm so touched. It's always a pleasure to visit with such a loving and joyous family. I hope to see you next year!
As an event planner and a parent myself, I'm kind of obsessive about Santa when it comes to my holiday events. I can say without hesitation that Santa Michael is the most spectacular, professional, and KIND Santa I have ever worked with. He truly went above and beyond to make our event go smoothly. I won't go into detail, but something ALWAYS goes wrong at an event, and it's a huge bonus when you work with someone like Santa Michael who can truly roll with the punches and make it seem like nothing happened. Let's just say he saved me!
Santa usually just enters with a Ho Ho Ho and sits for photos, but Santa Michael made such a grand entrance, entertained the kids with a hilarious story, answered questions, and even led a sing-along. (All of this extra time really helped me sort things out with the caterer!) Anyway, I couldn't have hoped for more and it was perfect for the occasion. Of course, every single child seemed convinced he was REALLY was Santa, and many of the parents did too! I know I'm a believer. Thank you, Santa Michael! See you next year!

Response from Santa Michael, NYC's "Singing Santa":
Thank you, Tom! You and your wife were such gracious hosts. I had a ball and I will indeed see you next year.
I hired Santa Michael for our annual holiday tree lighting party. He was so entertaining and so authentic that everyone swore he must be the real Santa. When he left, people were looking up at the sky just in case! Also, Michael is so easy to deal with. I had no worries at all during the booking process or on the day of our event. He was in place early and ready to go. His assistant was extremely helpful and took a lot of weight off my shoulders while I was tending to other parts of the event. 10 out of 10!

What to Expect
(This is the section where you'll find my rate schedule.)
Confession time: Sure, the red suit and beard can be duplicated easily. You've no doubt spotted some fantastic Santas right here on GigSalad. So, why hire me, you ask?
🎁 The Christmas joy and magic I bring will have your family and guests singing your praises all year! Children will know they're meeting the real Santa, not just one of his "helpers," and adults will find themselves believing that maybe, just maybe, Santa was real all along.
And you're the one who made it happen.
🎁 When was the last time you planned an event and actually got to enjoy it? Well, that's my Christmas gift to you. I am passionate about making your Santa booking experience as easy as hanging a Christmas stocking. No hassle, no guesswork. I've got you covered.
If it sounds like I'm promising a lot, would you expect anything less from Santa Claus?
