Santa Randy is The Real Deal

So, you need a Santa for your Family Christmas Party..... or maybe it's Christmas in July and you just need some Holiday spirit. LOOK NO FURTHER. Santa Randy is the #1 Santa in the state. He takes his role so seriously, it's beyond incredible. Family has used him for many years for our yearly Christmas Party and he never disappoints. The kids love him, the parents wish they were him. Hands down will always recommend him.

Hired as: Santa Claus

Santa Randy was great! Came out to my house in the pouring rain! Left a message on my front door video camera and my daughter was so excited! He talked about everything I had discussed with him and said all the right things!!!!!! He was great!

Yes, There really is a Santa Claus.

Santa Randy was great. Even my 8 month old Grandson loved him and wasn’t the least bit nervous. Santa Randy was a big hit and we’ll definitely have him back next year. Our guests ranged in age from 8 months to 94 years old. Santa Randy brought out the kid in all.

About

For the last 30+ years I have taken pride in providing the traditional Santa experience that children of all ages look forward to seeing. My goal is to keep the magic of the season alive during every visit.

From the first time I put on the suit, I knew this was my calling. Seeing the wonder and joy on children's faces is truly special to me; being Santa is not just something I do, it is who I am.

I look forward to helping you keep the magic going for the children this year. Perhaps you will even find yourself believing again!

Additional booking notes

To ensure a successful visit, please review the following stage and setup suggestions:

- Setting: While a Christmas setting is preferred, it is not required. Please place a sturdy, straight-back, armless dining chair (no armchairs, please) in a well-lit area. Ideal locations include near the Christmas tree or in front of a festive backdrop, such as a fireplace (without a fire). Please ensure there are no glass windows directly behind the chair.
- The Entrance: For a "Grand Entrance," please gather all guests together before my arrival so
I can join the group at the perfect moment.
- Helpers: If there is a large group of children, please assign a helper to assist with the flow of the visit.
- Gifts: If I will be distributing gifts, please have someone meet me outside to assist. All items should fit within a bag approximately the size of a 35-gallon trash bag, but I do have more than one bag If needed :)

Set list

Christmas setting would be nice but not necessary.

Influences and inspiration

I wanted to share one of my favorite experiences as Santa. I was hired by a grandmother to visit her two grandsons, aged five and eight. The eight-year-old had reached an age where he no longer believed in Santa, but the grandmother provided me with some specific details about him in advance—information he never expected Santa to know.

After spending only 20 to 30 minutes with them, the eight-year-old was hugging me and promising to be on his best behavior. Moments like these are exactly why I do what I do. It is all for the kids!

Setup requirements

Christmas setting would be nice but not necessary.

Grand Entrance. Get everyone together before Santa enters. Then, at the right moment Santa can pop in and join everyone in the fun.

Santa’s helpers. If you have a large group of children to see Santa, you should assign someone to be Santa’s helper.

Place Santa’s chair near your Christmas tree or in a holiday setting with plenty of light. No glass windows behind Santa. Maybe in front of a fireplace (with no fire) with stockings hanging or any festive type of backdrop.

Have a sturdy chair for Santa to sit in. A good straight-back, ARMLESS dining room chair works well. No armchairs please.

If you have gifts for Santa to bring in with him, have someone meet Santa outside. The gifts should fit into Santa's bag that is about the same size as a 35 gal trash bag.
