A truly wonderful Santa

Santa Neil was great to work with. And genuinely a handsome, perfect Santa. He offered several Santa looks depending on what your events needs/theme, was easy to work with and professional. Bravo and thank you from your friends at the LKN Philharmonic.

SANTA NEIL IS AWESOME!

We couldn’t have booked a better Santa!
Santa Neil was so sweet! We contacted him to bring a little joy to a broken hearted family…. And he did just that….He read the children the story of “T’was the night before Christmas“ even though the excited children interrupted several times Santa Neil happily answered the children’s millions of questions…. And his laugh was so magical! Then he went above and beyond when he had a special talk with my 6 year old about her daddy that passed away! Santa Neil put a smile and hope back into our family! The best Christmas gift ever!! We definitely recommend Santa Neil! You will not be disappointed! He has a heart of gold!

So personable and relatable with the kids!

We were so pleased with how Santa Claus Neil sat and interacted with the kids. He spoke with them in detail and has a great “Santa” laugh!! My 8 year old son said “finally you got a real Santa”!!!

One of the best Santas around!

Neil was without a doubt one of the best Santas I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He was perfectly on time (despite having a setback out of his control earlier in the day), gave us choices of how we wanted Santa's appearance, and worked with everyone - both staff and guests - beautifully. Neil has an incredible attitude and disposition and everyone loved him! Many parents of children in our Childcare program that saw Neil said he was one of the greatest they've seen too. Neil also went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs and wants for this event were met. I don't have any shortage of glowing things to say about Neil. I would book him again for another event in a heartbeat.

Booking information

Price range: $75 and up

What to expect

Santa Neil is always punctual, and prepared. Having been a boy Scout he always has 2 full Santa Suits with him. For a home visit Santa Neil will text the client when he arrives & park around the corner and walk the final 100 yards to your property (the Elves are making him do cardio these days!). Santa Neil always comes with a few hand made gifts from his workshop. He loves to build toys with the children, read stories, hand out presents, & join the children in special Santa themed games.

For corporate visits Santa will arrive in disguise, slip in the back entrance if allowed, quiet as a mouse, and make a memorable entrance. Following this, Santa will greet your guests, tell engaging stories of his life at the North Pole, and pose with your guests for photos

Influences and inspiration

Santa Neil's personality is more of the Workshop Santa than any other. While he loves taking photos with his guests he favorite activities are making toys with his guests on the fly (Santa always has parts to make toys with him, you never know when you might need a toy!) and Santa themed close up magic. Santa Neil's esthetic is influenced by Edmund Gwenn's depiction of Santa in Miracle on 34th Street, & old world workshop Santa's,
