Response from Santa Greg:

I'm sorry I thought it went pretty well? Just talked to Thilinie on the phone offered to return her money. She said no don't do that. The last Santa came in to the class rooms with a bang and got the kids excited. I told her that when I come in I try not to scare the preschool kids to much.

Thank you for the extra star. Will try to do it better next time

Excellent Santa!

Santa adapted his service to a virtual meeting with our second grade classroom. Booking was easy, he was a great communicator and made the whole process smooth. Santa Greg did such a wonderful job that some "on the fence" believers are now totally convinced he is the real deal. The kids had a blast and his visit kept a very long tradition of our Santa school visit alive. Thank you so much for continuing the Santa magic!

Christmas in July

During this time of uncertainty, one thing is always certain, a child's belief in Santa. Santa Greg visited our classroom via virtual computer screen. The kids did not seem to notice that he was on a computer rather than sitting right there in front of them. He talked to each child, called them by name, and was genuinely interested in what they had to say to him. Santa read to the class, led us in song and had a very entertaining Q&A discussion.

If you are looking to liven up your child's post virus world, I strongly recommend this positive encounter to every classroom and home.

Last night, i saw him having several conversations with the kids....how memorable for them! He works well with photographers, and is professional and responsible and fun.

I hired Santa Greg for a company party, and he was fantastic. He interacted with guests really well, and because of his attention to detail, he is super photogenic. He was having fun with the guests, and even doing videos for guests with personalized messages for their kids. Santa Greg was punctual, warm and just went with the flow. I highly recommend him for any occasion.

A Wedding Surprise from Santa

When my husband suggested we have a Santa make a cameo during our December wedding, I was stunned and excited at the same time. As we had 6 weeks until our big day, I immediately started researching a Santa for hire. Upon contacting all possibilities and interviewing with them, we found Santa Greg to be perfect for our wedding. After all, he also had a Santa Throne (which was such a fantastic addition)! As there was only 2 kids (my niece and nephew) at the wedding, we were taking a gamble how the crowd would embrace Santa's stop in. He Was A Huge Hit! Not only did Santa Greg play the sweet, friendly and jolly Santa we all know and love, his look and style couldn't be more perfect! We highly recommend Santa Greg for your event. Absolutely loved him. Thank you so very much Santa Greg for making our wedding day a huge success!

Great looking santA!

Greg was really easy to get ahold of and very responsive. He texts, which is always a big plus for me. It was a last minute booking, and he was very accommodating and willing to drive all the way to Temecula from downstown San Diego around 8:30pm. Others, turned us down.
He was an amazing looking santa! He definitely played the part well and the kids all loved him and believed it. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because he fumbled a couple of times while reading the book, which took away from the magic. Also when he was passing out presents he kind of said kids names as a question because he wasn’t sure how to prounonce it. But overall he did a great job! He even added a last minute request of surprising our family with a surprise pregnancy announcement. We would definitely hire him again in the future! I would just send the children’s names and how to pronounce them a few days before the event rather than day of because he’s a busy santA. Pleased we hired him!

Versatile, authentic, and a super nice guy

We hired Santa Greg to star in a video for social media; he was extremely professional. He memorized his lines (despite us having cue cards ready), was very patient with the filmmaking process, and added his own twists to make the video extraordinary. Santa Greg stayed in character, and clearly has his Santa lore down! He was extremely flexible, allowing members of the team to have their pictures taken with him. His Santa suit was stunning -- including gorgeous belt buckle -- and he was impeccably groomed to maximize authenticity. We cannot recommend him more highly!

Santa Greg is terrific! He embodies the spirit of Santa Claus by making the children feel welcomed and happy. He is animated and responds to each child individually.
He takes great care to make sure his look is authentic. He actually looks like the old fashioned Coca Cola Santa!
It made a big impression on me that he was early for our initial meeting and for the event. He was professional so I didn't have to worry on the big day.
I highly recommend Santa Greg!

What to Expect

I new in my heart I'd be portraying Santa Claus someday.
So I've been studying my whole life by watching every Movie,cartoon,puppet show, claymation or felt stop motion film that was ever made about Christmas.

When enough people told me I was starting to look like Santa and that I should give it a go.
I searched the web for Santa groups Santa unions Santa classes because I new I should learn from the folks that have been doing it for years and I was not disappointed.

I lucked out and the first group I contacted was Fraternal order of real bearded Santas. or ( FORBS ) It was July of 2014 and Since I already had a full beard I figured this was my group. I sent off an email to the president and vice president of the San Diego chapter of FORBS.

I met with the vice president Santa Marv at the local sizzler. We talked a while about being Santa and a little girl at a table near us just kept looking and looking at Marv. So he goes watch this. He walks on over and introduces himself as Santa and the little girl was so excited the parents loved it too and he just became Santa no red suit maybe a red shirt but that wasn't important he found out what toys she wanted he winked and said well you know how you get the best toys. You be very good and helpful around the house listen to your folks. Do what they tell you to and your sure to get some great toys.

So after that I started going to the monthly meetings and was loaned some dvds on the Disney way to be a great Santa. i also spent a few hundred on a book by a famous Santa teacher it was about how to dress how to curl your mustache. Where to get a great Santa suit. Answers to almost every question that's ever been asked of Santa. I studied it all

Additional Booking Notes

I have a Santa throne that I can bring with me for an additional fee. I bring an Elf with me he helps with the loading and unloading of the throne. then makes himself scarce. Till it's time to pack it back up. He wears at the very least an Elf hat but also has a green smock and a kind of a neck thing like Kermit the frog has around his neck but it looks good on an Elf.
I also have a Female Elf that helps me during events if folks have a lot for us to do. So she helps pass out presents or keeps the order and watches out for things like kids with chocolate on their hands also can help by introducing the kids to me so I can parrot back the names and sound a little more credible.
I have had 3 or 4 background checks since I started. I also work at a middle school so have had the police run one on me too.

Influences & Inspiration

Every Christmas Movie, Cartoon, Still frame animation,
I have read a few versions of the story of the original The Legend of St. Nicholas The legend of Santa Claus can be traced back hundreds of years to a monk named St. Nicholas. It is believed that Nicholas was born sometime around 280 A.D. in Patara.
I am in a group called the Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas
a 26 year old group originally started by 10 Santas that were in a Macy's Commercial
and decided to get together in January to discuss their adventures.
It now has hundreds of members mostly in southern California but it has members now all over the United States. We meet once a month for lunch and each meeting has some Santa training.

Setup Requirements

As far as equiptment I bring most everything I could need with me. .

It's always nice if the room is set to a little colder than normal. Or if you can aim a fan in my direction.

you may want to hire a photographer but everyone has a camera these days so . I know a few professional photographers. Sometimes people get one of those boxes with a screen and it auto shoots a picture every 15 seconds and spits out a tiny strip of pictu

You may want to hire a proffesional photographer but everyone has a camera these days So you can let people take their own. I do know a few professional photographers some can print up 5x6 shots on site. Some need to get an email and they send you a link.

some people rent a back drop and some back drop frame thing to hang it from.

If it's a big room w hundreds of people some kind of micraphone set up would be great. If you want me to read a story or read off names on packages
