Overview

Real Bearded Santa! Available year round for Special Events, Birthdays, School Events, Corporate, MC or Ribbon Cuttings. Normally, Santa is set-up in a chair, taking pictures with guests but I can work with whatever ideas you have. I have a Santa Chair-There will be an extra charge and PLEASE let me know it's needed.

I can sing carols and read stories but I bring some special skills that not all Santa's have. I can teach kids to HO HO HO on piano or w/o. I can juggle different items from the audience. I have done gigs large and small. I've done parades, MC, Candid pictures while mingling, mall Santa, after church service and even a meet-and-greet at a swimming pool!

Best Santa Ever!

We had an incredible experience with Santa Steve. He was patient, warm, and absolutely delightful with all the kids. Multiple guests commented on how authentic he felt—his Santa laugh was perfect! We’ll definitely be booking him again.

Santa Steve was fantastic

Santa Steve arrived at the venue early, bringing a sense of excitement with him. His warm, cheerful demeanor instantly set the tone for the day. He had a fantastic sense of humor that resonated with both the children and their parents alike, sparking laughter and joy throughout the gathering. His playful jokes and witty remarks created an atmosphere filled with holiday cheer, making everyone feel welcome and included. We all admired his engaging personality and the delightful way he interacted with us, capturing the essence of the festive spirit. Thank you, Santa Steve, for making our celebration so memorable! Merry Christmas & a happy New Year!
Happy Holidays!!

Booking information

Price range: $400 up to 2 hours. $150 for each additional hour.

Languages: English

Gig length: 120 - 300 minutes

Insurance: $1,000,000 - Certificate of Liability Insurance.

What to expect

There are generally two types a SANTA GIGs.
Chair Gig or Presents/Gifts distribution. This can be in large settings, like a big box retailer, normally a chair gig for pictures and children talking with Santa.
Small settings can be as small as a single family in their home or small venue, which could include: Singing Carols, Individual talks with Santa and distributing presents/gifts, juggling and story time. I could read stories, teach the little ones how to HO HO HO like Santa. If there is a piano, I could do the HO HO HO in song form (call and response) with kids and adults. More story time: There's always problems traveling with flying reindeer that happened on the way here and stories about the North Pole.

About

I've been an entertainer all my life. I have been blessed with a white beard at a "relatively" young age. I have a degree in music and was a professional singer for a time.
As Santa, I, of course, can sing carols and read Christmas stories but I bring some special skills that not all Santa's have. I can play some piano, teach guests how to HO HO HO in song form. I have a juggling routine where I will juggle different items from the audience. (No electronics please).

Additional booking notes

I work with my clients to create a special event for everyone attending.
