Santa was PHENOMENAL for my photo event. He was extremely fun, interactive with the kids, was so true to character and went along with all of my ideas. I would DEFINITELY recommend and use again!

My dog’s favorite Santa

I went to an event that had a Santa to take pictures with your dog. Santa was very professional and my dog Willie loved him. He was great with the animals and people alike. Looking forward to finding him out and about this upcoming holiday season!

What to expect

What should you expect? It's better to tell you what not to expect. Don't expect your typical mall Santa, sitting in a chair with a line of impatient children out and around the door. You've hired me for entertainment! Want me to interact with tables in your restaurant? Don't worry, I've got my own apron, i'll run their food for you! Looking to make you're next high school event popular with children AND teens? Bring me in. I'll shoot a round of horse with the basketball team, play guitar with the jazz band, sit in the stands with the parents! Is it unconventional? I'm your Santa. Let's make some memories.

About

Back in 2019, during the height of covid, a friend made the off hand comment that I should dress up as Santa for our friends' kids. It evolved from home stops for friends and family, to regular seasonal bookings with local businesses! My background outside of Santa varies from sales to service industry to youth leadership. there's not a single event out there that I'd shy away from! I'm even trained in canine behavior, so your reactive dogs can get in on the holiday fun!

Mrs. Claus is available via special request!
