Overview
I’m REAL BEARDED SANTA with a positive encouraging message for the young, and the "young-at-heart". I serve the San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange & Los Angeles counties throughout the year. With your input, I'll customize a visit to your needs and traditions. When I arrive, I'll make a BIG ENTRANCE ringing my sleigh bells, and bring your gifts inside to pass out from my custom velvet bags. I love storytelling and reading to children, photos, selfies and brief videos with your guests. I appear at home visits, family parties, office parties, country clubs, corporate events, breakfasts, realtor and HOA events, studio & outdoor photography, municipal events, hospitals, preschools & daycares.

We had a magical experience! Joyful, kind, truly special, simply the best!!! Interacted with kids of all ages, even with pets. Radiates kindness and joy.
The little ones were at ease and felt so comfortable with him. We are so grateful for such a wonderful experience with him and strongly recommend him. All of our guests were impressed. Thank you Santa.

If you are looking for an amazing in personality and amazing Santa appearance this is the Santa for you. He worked so well with the kids with disabilities(Autism and ADHD), kids that we're scared, and kids that we're excited to see him. I also had a Grinch I hired at our event and you would think Santa and the Grinch were friends forever they worked so well together! Everyone loved interacting and taking pictures with Santa, I have worked with many Santa's over the years and this has been my best experience working with a Santa so far! I hope to work with this Santa again in the year's to come. P.S. the Grinch also wanted me to tell you that you are the BEST Santa he has worked with as well and I think he has worked with more Santa's than myself. Merry Christmas!
Holiday Entertainment, Santa Claus
Santa Allen was nothing short from AMAZING. He was so accommodating with last minute changes, and just a kind, genuine person overall. His dedication to his job is astonishing, its like he was made to be Santa! He never stopped smiling, was super interactive with families and children, extremely professional and most of all respectful! He was hired for holiday mini photoshoots and did amazing with everyone, including our own family. Showed up early and gave it his all during the sessions. I could not be happier with the route my husband and I took with Santa. 10000/10 would recommend

Bespoke Santa attended a holiday party we organized for our international students. He was AMAZING. He was so kind and caring and engaged with every single person in the room. It really was a memorable experience and I highly recommend him!

From the moment this Santa walked in, everyone was mesmerized by his Christmas spirit. Santa Allen’s “Santa Acting” is exceptional. Our guest was so happy with him. We were very lucky to book him before he was all booked up.
Thank you Santa Allen

What to Expect
SO WHAT WILL YOU DO AT MY EVENT?
I will make a BIG ENTRANCE (or a quieter one if you wish). You will hear me approaching with my jingle bells ringing! I can bring in gifts in from outside in one of my beautiful fur trimmed velvet Gift bags (might need a little help with big stuff).
Storytelling, or reading to children from my collection of Christmas books (I can also read one of yours if you like).
Singing Christmas classics! Full disclosure: I am not a professional singer, but I have great fun belting out my favorites anyway.
I can bring in gifts in from outside in one of my beautiful fur trimmed velvet Gift bags (might need a little help with big stuff)
With special arrangements, I can bring a new pet!
Visits and conversations with children. Santa loves questions!
Photos and selfies (we call them “Elfies” up at the North Pole) with all your guests. Professional photography (with your photographer).
Table visits with your guests while they are served.
About
WHO IS “BESPOKE SANTA” ALLEN?
I’m a positive Santa that enjoys connecting with the young, and the young-at-heart! I strive to ensure anyone who meets Santa should not only have fun and feel great about Christmas, but themselves as well.
My portrayal of Santa incorporates the traditional qualities of Santa that we have all come to love along with a positive message of Christmas spirit that focuses on kindness, generosity, fun and being proud of one’s qualities and achievements. All this is delivered with a jolly natural “HO HO HO”, and a mischievous twinkle in my eye.
I am an authentic year-round REAL BEARDED professional Christmas portrayal artist doing my very best to bring the joy of the holidays to all your events. I have spent hundreds of hours going to Santa schools (yes, they are a real thing) and learning from some of the most accomplished Santas in the world. I have spent thousands of dollars (don’t tell my wife) on Every Santa suit I own is custom made to my specifications in a Hollywood costume shop that has been making Santa’s suits since the 1940’s. I will not show up to your event with an ill fitting suit from a party store or a vinyl belt with plastic boot covers. Santa is a “bigger-than-life” fanciful character, and should dress the part.
WHERE DOES SANTA ALLEN GO?
The counties of San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange and Los Angeles Counties. I can travel further by special arrangement.
WHAT DOES “BESPOKE” EVEN MEAN?
The Oxford English Dictionary defines bespoke as: “Made for a particular customer or user.” In terms of your Santa event it means that I will provide you with a questionnaire that you will fill out and we will customize the Santa experience to fit your needs and the needs of your guests. Too often, Santa performers get “set-in-their-ways” and are unwilling or unable to alter their routine to the needs of their clientele, or the changing circumstances of an event. Even with the best intentions and planning, any event can become a bit chaotic, and having the ability to reassess and pivot toward (and occasionally away from) the new circumstance is what distinguishes a professional Santa performer, from “some guy in a suit”.
SO WHAT KIND OF EVENTS DO YOU DO?
Almost anything you can think of, at almost anytime of the year. The only limit is your imagination, and hopefully the bounds of good taste (I’m never a “Bad Santa”).
A partial, but by no means complete list is:
Home visits: Family gatherings and parties, Christmas season birthday parties, holiday gender reveals, Christmas weddings (Santa formal attire!)
Business & Corporate Visits: Meet & greets, office visits, sales parties, corporate parties and events, breakfast with Santa, marketing campaigns, Real Estate and HOA gatherings,
Photography: Studio, outdoor and marketing photography.
Community: Civic events, tree lighting ceremonies, parades, first responder appreciation, hospitals (for both patients and staff), elder care facilities, schools, preschools & daycares.
Media TV & Film: commercials, online content, brand ambassador & spokesperson.
