Great Santa that I Would Recommend to Anyone!

We had a great event and Santa was awesome! He was willing to walk around with us to take pictures at the event with the kids. The kids would walk up to him and talk to him. It was adorable. He was pleasant, on time, and very professional. Thank you for your talent and we'd love to book him again.

Fantastic experience

We provided a visit from Santa for some kids in our neighborhood and we were extremely pleased with his services!!! He was patient and interactive with the kids. The parents couldn't say enough wonderful things about Santa.!! Would definitely recommend.

Very realistic

Overall our Santa was great. He read a book to the kids as requested, passed out gifts that were given to him to “bring”, took photos with everyone as well. He was very realistic looking. I do wish he would have smiled a little being as that Santa is known for being a jolly old man.

We could not have been happier with Santa! Our family was thrilled with the entire experience. He was extremely good with the children. I had 2 grandkids that couldn’t make it due to illness. We had him make a short video for us. They were thrilled. Awesome experience!

What to expect

You can book Santa for many types of events!

Home Visits - Invite Santa to your home, where he can deliver your Elf on the Shelf for the year, Get photographs, read a story, or even hand out gifts (provided by the client, and must be able to fit into Santa's toy bag - roughly the size of a 30 gallon trash bag). Home visits last between 15 and 30 minutes depending on how talkative the children are, and are to be booked for one household per time slot.

Corporate and large family parties - Invite Santa to your large event! Santa will make a grand entrance, and proceed to a designated area, where he can visit with children as they get photos taken and receive candy canes or other treats provided by the client.

Sneak-a-Peaks - Imagine waking your child up late on Christmas Eve and they are able to "catch" Santa placing their gifts under the tree, reading their letters, eating cookies and drinking milk. Care must be taken to be extra quiet though, because if Santa sees you watching him, he will drop a magic feather which will send everyone back to bed with no recollection of ever seeing him. Due to limited time, and availability on Christmas Eve, this package is much more expensive, and fills up on a first come, first serve basis.

If you have another event in mind we can most likely accommodate and work up a custom quote!

About

Adam Schill has been a professional entertainer since he was a child. After taking his first clown class at age 11, Adam has taught and performed around the country and currently sits as the President of Clowns of America International, one of the world's largest entertainer trade organizations! Adam has trained with some of the world's most well regarded names in family entertainment!

Adam has also performed as Santa Claus since high school, and has steadily grown his authenticity year after year. Not only does he look the part with his magical snow white hair and beard, but he becomes the physical embodiment of Ol' Saint Nick! (He even smells like candy canes!) Your guests will leave Believing that they've just met the real Santa Claus!

Don't trust your event to just anyone in a red suit, hire the best! Adam may be a bit more expensive than some of the other Santas out there, but it will be money well spent! Years of training and working with children, and thousands of dollars in costumes and accessories, makes Adam's portrayal as authentic as possible!
