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.

Outstanding Experience!

Santa Randy was great with the kids. He was very patient if the children were afraid and by the end of their visit they were laughing and smiling. I also as the photographer was very happy to see how much he interactive with them and got some great photos. I highly recommend him! Great Job Santa Randy!

Authentic and professional

Santa came to our house to do an outdoor visit for about 8 kids, they were 9 years old and younger. He was the real deal. I was nervous he would look fake, but he had an actual real beard, an awesome suit and a bell here or there, which the kids thought were bells from his sleigh. The older kids had many questions about how he got to our house and he had answers for everything. He didn’t force any of the three year olds to approach him too soon, he let them take the lead and eventually when they warmed up to him and he very kind and welcoming! I would absolutely have him visit again and would recommend him to anyone!

The REAL Santa

I cannot say enough about Santa Randy & how he interacted with the children during these times of Covid. My photo sessions were outside and he managed to interact seamlessly while avoiding contact. If families wanted him to wear a mask, he had 2 options. I am excited to work with him again & intact, have already booked additional days this year & next!

Simply the Best.

What a wonderful experience for our town’s children and families at our annual PTO Holiday Bazaar! Santa Randy made a grand entrance with his “Ho Ho Ho”s to a thunderous applause and the fun never stopped. He took photos with excited children and “Mingled and Jingled” with at least 500 community members throughout the day, to which we heard nothing but praise. He was professional and respectful but didn’t miss an opportunity to pose at our “selfie station” or give fist-bumps and high fives. He even added a little extra special magic to an almost non-believer’s day...she left a firm believer again. Hopefully Santa Randy will be coming to our town again next year!

Loved Santa Randy!!

The Gingerbread House absolutely loved Santa Randy! He was wonderful with every single child...took as much time and as many hugs as each child needed. He made a perfect entrance as the children were finishing their pageant singing "Santa Claus is coming to town".....So many smiles on the parents faces as well as the children! We hope to have him visit again....maybe in the summer just to check and be sure we're all still on the "nice' list..

.Loved him.... Thank you again Santa, for making this such a special memory:)

Absolutly an amazing job.

Santa Randy was absolutely the most professional, and realistic Santa I have ever been in contact with. He has a love of the part that would make anybody smile. He even had some of the adults believing. Made all the children smile with his charm and his character. I would recommend him (and have) to anybody looking for a Santa for their party.

Santa Randy is undoubtedly the most wonderful Santa to have at any event. He is fantastic with the kids and parents alike. He even stayed later than expected as we had a larger crowd than expected, which was so kind of him. If you choose Santa Randy to attend your event, you will never be disappointed!

Absolutely the best!

We hired Santa Randy for our Corporate family outing day which was a Christmas in July theme. Santa Randy was on time, charming, amazing with the kids and truly embodied what Santa is all about. Everyone was in love with him. Almost every child went to him with no problem and you could tell he really enjoys what he does. I would absolutely recommend Santa Randy, he will make any Christmas party (even in July) a huge success!

What to Expect

Jolly and fun loving Santa!

About

I take on the traditional Santa look that kids of all ages look to see in a Santa.
My goal is to keep the Magic of Santa alive in all my visits. The first time I put the suit on I knew it was my calling. The magic on the childrens faces to the wonderfull magic of the season. It is not something I do it is something I am--- "SANTA"
Lets keep the magic going for the kids! And just maybe you will believe again.

Additional Booking Notes

Changing area for Santa is important in some instances and a christmas backdrop for the pictures would be nice but not necessary.

Services Offered

Santa Claus Holiday Entertainment

Set List

Christmas setting would be nice but not necessary.

Influences & Inspiration

One of my best experiences was - a grandmother hired me to come to see her 2 grandsons, aged 5 and 8, well the 8yr old did not believe in Santa. She gave me a little info in advance about the 8 yr old that he would never think Santa would know. I was there for only 20 to 30 minutes and when I left the 8 yr old was hugging Santa and telling Santa how good he will be!! This is why I am Santa---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.
