December 22, 2025The Real Deal!
I have hired Mr. Claus here for 2 seasons. He is the real deal Santa Claus if you are looking to have someone for a party. He is incredible. Not only does he look the part with a real beard. He also interacts with the kids well and reads them a story. He knows all the history and loves talking to the kids about it. I highly recommend him.

December 10, 2025Great Experience
Santa Claus brought our Christmas party to the next level! He engaged with guests (all adults - a bit different than his normal crowd, I'm sure!), stayed in character the whole time, was professional, and brought lots of joy to the room. We look forward to booking Brownsburg Santa again in the future!

Booking information
Price range: $200 and up.
Insurance: $1,000,000 - General Liability
Unions: Hoosier Santas; WSCN
What to expect
When boys and girls see me, they often start to dance, and that make me want to join in! I visit with the children, and even with the older kids. Santa wants teenagers to turn out right, too! Adults are invited to sit with Santa and discuss things with him. But remember, Santa is G-rated and family rated only.
About
A top rated professional Santa with multi years experience. Having appeared at some of the top venues in Central Indiana. This Santa has natural long white beard and white hair, bushy eyebrows. No paint. No makeup. Please check my ratings.
Additional booking notes
Because I work in radio, I am an accomplished reader, as long as the lighting is good, and the print and contrast is reasonable! I work excellently on a mic, but have a clear strong voice without.

Influences and inspiration
The original St. Nicholas was quite an inspiration! Until the poem "A Visit From St Nicholas" (also known as "The Night Before Christmas") was published in 1822, there were no reindeer and St. Nicholas wasn't fat. And prior to the 1930s St. Nicholas was often portrayed in robes (often green) and a bishop's mitre on his head. (Nicholas, after all, was indeed a bishop). The modern suit, now called the Coca Cola suit, made its debut in a printed ad in 1931, and modern suits are a variation of it. (link hidden).
The Victorian Santa is shown on this page.
Setup requirements
If you are providing gifts, have them labeled clearly and securely. Tags almost always come off! The sack can be arranged to be stashed outdoors, or someone can meet Santa outside with the gift sack
Santa doesn't require feeding. In fact, with a natural beard and a busy schedule, eating is not advisable. But a bottle of water is appreciated.
An appropriate chair is always appreciated!
