Overview
Ho Ho Ho it’s Santa Martin. This year I’ve gone professional and new to Gig Salad. I’m excited to be here. For the past few years, I’ve been Santa for some nonprofits and fund raiser. I’m a Marine Corps veteran and a Freemason and have owned my own business for 22 years. I’m all about customer service. My passion is helping people, and I strive to fire for affect. I’m excited for the Gigs I’ve booked so far and look forward to helping fulfill some excitement for your event. I’m a real bearded Santa. Let’s get this going a plan a great event. This is the start of November and requests are pouring in. I’m willing to travel. Contact Santa Martin, free quote.

December 29, 2025Great!
First State Santa was great! He communicated with us prior to the event; arrived early and was a huge hit with both the children and adults! He interacted with everyone after all the pictures and "meeting Santa". We absolutely will use him for all of our Santa needs in the future!

Thank you so much to Santa Martin for being absolutely wonderful with all of the children at Kids Cottage! When our original Santa canceled at the last minute, Santa Martin truly stepped up for us, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
He was fantastic with the children, engaging, patient, and fun, while also being very professional with our families. He helped make our Grandparents, Gifts, and Goodies event extra special and memorable for everyone.
We look forward to booking Santa Martin again next year.
Thank you again, and Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅

Santa was great communicator, prompt, kind and very good with the little ones at our family Christmas party. He took the time to talk to each kid and take lots of photos with everyone in our family. 5 stars and will be reaching out again for our next Christmas event. Thank you so much for making our Christmas extra special Santa!
