December 8, 2024Breakfast with Santa!
Santa was both professional and believable! He was definitely the star of the show. Our event was larger than we planned and he even stayed for an extra hour. We’ve secured him for 2025 and years to come!

December 19, 2022Great Experience, Thanks Santa Dave!
Santa Dave was perfect for our holiday party! We had a ton of kids and adults, presents, a photographer and a whole lot of chaos and Santa Dave took it all in stride. He was extremely personable, great with the kids and well loved by everyone who stopped by to visit. Thank you so much Santa Dave for helping us host a great party!

Influences and inspiration
I have been working with kids over 10 years. Once I started growing the beard, I had people calling me Santa. I started talking to a family member and started picking it up.
Setup requirements
Sturdy chair and water.
If extended hours, a room for Santa to take breaks in
parking near the entrance if possible.
