Santa Miami was incredible. As he said, he came in with bells on and the kids just loved him. He was so friendly and inviting, and his look was absolutely perfect. 10/10 would book again.

No one can convince me that he is not the real Santa. Friendly and attentive to the adults as well as the children. I would recommend him to anyone (and already have) that is in search of the real deal.

Amazing Experience

We hired Santa for our school Christmas event and it was a success! The children were amazed they couldn’t believe Santa actually came to visit them. Santa was very kind and sweet to the children. He had a very soft tone when talking to the children which made them not be scare. His outfit was from top to bottom wonderful. Nothing but great things to say about Santa, hope to see him next year again !

Amazing!

Santa was amazing! He memorized so many details about each child prior to meeting them and they have not stopped talking about how he was definitely the REAL Santa! All of the parents at the party were beyond impressed with how authentic he looked and how he remained in character the entire time. We will definitely be having him back next year!

The real deal!

We had Santa come to our holiday Pajama party and boy was it amazing! The children and parents were all amazed at everything he remembered and how he addressed each child by name. He left a lasting impression with everyone that attended the event. I highly recommend Santa Miami to anyone that would like Real Santa to be a part of their celebration. :)

What a magical night!

We hired Santa Ernie for our annual Santa visit. He was absolutely perfect. The children and parents were completely star struck. Santa memorized the names of all 21 children, a reason why they are on the nice list and whispered in their ear something to work on. He even handed out gifts to each child and had enough time to read the kids a story and sing 2 songs with them. We cannot wait to use him again next year. The parents are still talking about what a magical experience It was.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST SANTA !

Santa Miami attended our Holiday Christmas Sessions. He truly outdid himself ! he was by far the best part of our holiday sessions! Staying in character & engaging with each and every child 100 % of the time. Helping us capture REAL SMILES and emotions from every child, making us photographers so incredibly happy! He is amazing with the children and not to mention very photogenic. We got amazing photographs all thanks to Santa Miami . We are so very grateful to have had him & sure can't wait to work with him again !

HANDS DOWN THE BEST SANTA! WE RECOMMEND HIM 110% !

Perfect Santa

I am happy to give Santa Miami my highest recommendation.

I booked Santa to attend my daughter's fourth birthday. The theme was breakfast with Santa. Before the event Santa, communicated with me several times. He even asked me to give him details about the children attending the party so he could be more convincing. When my daughter sat on his lap, he congratulated her for being a great big sister. Then, in her ear, he whispered that she should stop using a pacifier. She has been pacifier-free since.

Arrival-He arrived on time.
Appearance-He was entirely authentic. His Santa suit, boots, and bag were impeccable and clean. His beard is real and well-groomed.
Disposition- He never broke character. He is soft spoken and did not scare any of the children.
Activities-
sang carols
each child had an individual, personalized chat with Santa
read a book
sat for unlimited photos with every party guest
mingled with guests
decorated cookies with kids,
gave each kid a little present.
He brought his own supplies.

The children were amazed and the parents were delighted. All of our friends complimented Santa and wanted his contact information to book him for future events.

He made my daughter's birthday so special and unforgettable.

Santa Miami was AMAZING!

Santa Miami was our Santa for our Christmas Party. He was GREAT!! His costume was superb and his beard is REAL! He was on time...even alittle early and spent the entire time talking and giving each child their special gift. He gave each child special attention and there were smiles on all their faces. He remembered ALL the details of each child. All the parents commented on how great he was!! Really wonderful.

About

Santa Miami is a real bearded Santa servicing all of South Florida. He has been performing as Santa Claus for the past 14 years bringing joy to private parties, public parks, corporate events and fundraisers. Santa Miami has professional training with a Bachelors of Santa Claus from the International University of Santa Claus. Santa has a full clear background check available upon request and is fully insured with entertainers liability insurance.

Additional Booking Notes

Santa at the minimum requires a sturdy chair with sufficient space to sit and place children on lap. Santa's suit is very warm so air conditioning is requested to be kept as cool as possible, or fans are suggested for outdoor venues. Please do not sit Santa next to a roaring fireplace!

I require a deposit of 50% to reserve my time. If you can let me know two weeks in advance if you have to cancel, I will refund the deposit. Two weeks is usually long enough for me to find an alternative. Anything shorter than that I still will still try to rebook the timeslot and if I can find another event I will refund your deposit. If I cannot however, it will be nonrefundable.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Santa will be required to followed all local safety guidelines and requires social distancing protocols to be followed. Anyone experiencing symptoms should not attend the event. Protocols will be confirmed in advance of the event and will be updated closer to the date of your event as needed. If you are uncomfortable with required protocols, you will be allowed to cancel and get a refund of your deposit within the policy described above.
