December 13, 2025Best Santa Ever!
Santa Larry is truly the ultimate Santa Claus. We hired him for a residential event, and he was nothing short of magical and a breath of fresh air. He genuinely brought the Christmas spirit to life and made everyone feel like a kid again. His presence was incredibly whimsical, joyful, and unforgettable. It was an amazing experience from start to finish, and we sincerely hope to hire Santa Larry again next year if he is available. 🎅🎄

December 8, 2025Wonderful Santa!
Santa Larry was great at our neighborhood event. We really loved having him. The children loved him and when the line was done to meet him, he walked around the park and talked to the children. He is also very responsive and communicative, and great coordinating meeting times and plans in advance.

December 2, 2025The Santa Surprise
Santa came to visit Christmas Eve as a special treat for our 8 grandkids. He is so authentic. The youngest kids wanted to give him a bunch of hugs, and to help them with their toys. He was so patient and “Santalike”. We enjoyed it so much we are doing a repeat this year. I can’t wait!

Larry is a fantastic Santa! He takes his time with each person (kid and adult) so that everyone feels seen and heard by Santa himself. He's a very sweet man who is always jolly. We have already booked him for this year! I highly recommend him; he is such a blessing.

Your Santa experience can include:
• Personalized conversations with children and families
• Professional photo interactions and posing
• Storytelling and Christmas conversation
• Meet-and-greets and roaming Santa appearances
• Gift distribution when coordinated in advance
• Multiple professional Santa wardrobe options

Every appearance is approached with one goal: create an extraordinary Christmas moment your guests will remember.
About
Santa Larry is a professional real-bearded Santa who believes the best Santa experiences are about much more than taking a photo. My goal is to create genuine interactions where children, families and guests feel welcomed, heard and part of the Christmas magic.
I take the responsibility of portraying Santa seriously and continually invest in professional Santa education. I am a Platinum Member of the Worldwide Santa Claus Network (WSCN) and have completed all nine WSCN Core Certification Courses required to earn their certificate. I am also a member of the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas (IBRBS).
My continuing education includes Advanced Studies through ProSanta School in Charlotte, NC, where I received a Certificate of Completion, as well as a two-day educational seminar with the Long Leaf Pines Santas in June 2026.
I bring that preparation, professionalism and Christmas Spirit to every appearance—from intimate family visits and photography sessions to corporate, community and large public events.
My goal is simple: create authentic connections and memorable Santa experiences that guests carry with them long after Christmas.

The Santa area should be clean, well-lit and easily accessible, with adequate space for guests and photography.
For outdoor events, please provide reasonable protection from rain, excessive heat or severe weather.
For larger events or presentations, access to a microphone or sound system may be requested.
