Overview
Hello! I am a professional real-bearded Santa who is fully vaccinated, background checked, and insured. Although I serve all of New England, I don't mind traveling to other states. Reach out to me so we can discuss your situation. Let me bring the magic of Christmas to your home, event, or business either in person or virtually. Imagine the excitement and memories created when your children spend time with a Santa who will talk to them, play games, tell jokes, and hand out treats. I can even stop by on Christmas Eve and have your children "catch" me placing your gifts around the tree!
Make your Christmas Marvelous

Santa Brian is the best! Great communication prior to the event. Extremely accommodating. Wonderful with everyone from the youngest child to the great-grandparents. Pleasant, calm, and gentle nature. Would recommend 100%!

Thank you, Laurie! I had an amazing time with your family and friends and felt honored to be a part of this special occasion! Hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!
Santa Brian joined our family for my nieces Christmas Wedding at the Pittsfield Country Club in December 2022. He was very easy to work with (texting) leading up to the event and comfortable with the uncertainties (start time, run of show, etc.) that go along with executing a wedding reception. Santa was a joy for all the guests. He engaged equally enthusiastically with the young kids as well as the older adults. Everyone was eager to get a photo with Santa and the kids enjoyed the chance to sit on his knee. I enthusiastically recommend booking Santa Brian for your next event.
Santa Brian was perfect! He was amazing with the kids and the crowd. We have extremely high expectations and he surpassed them! Looking forward to booking him for our annual event every year!

Santa Scott did a great job. He arrived on time, made a great entrance to the venue. He spent some time withe the kids and adults. We sang songs, he told a story, sat for pictures and handed out gifts. Thank you again Santa Scott.

We used Marvelous Santa’s for our church Christmas party this year! We were very impressed. They had good communication leading up to our event, and Santa Scott called the day before, to confirm the details!
On the day of the event, Santa Scott was there early and ready to go! When my wife first saw him, her reaction was marvelous! She said,” what a beautiful Santa!” His white beard and mustache were nicely trimmed and his costume was elegant and he looked straight out of the North Pole! We escorted him into the cultural hall where he greeted our guests with a hearty
Hi Ho Ho! The children screamed and the parents clapped! He went straight to work!
His smile and jolly attitude won the kids over and they all had a chance to sit and talk with him! Santa Scott is a natural and we were delighted that he was our Santa! We would highly recommend him to our friends, family, and business associates! Great job Scott!
Thank you!

We hosted a Santa breakfast and he was amazing! Very easy going and went with the flow of the event. Will definitely book again in the future!
Santa Brian was amazing from start to finish. It was a magical experience! He was very entertaining, with his singing and special gifts. He kept the attention of all the children, ranging from 4 years old to 9 and also took time w a few newborns as well. Such great memories for all! We hope to see him again next year!

Thank you so much for the kind words, Krystle! I had a blast with your family. I look forward to seeing you all again next year!
Santa Brian was a fantastic addition to our holiday party! I specifically asked him to find ways to engage my self-conscious tween group while also appealing to our little crowd, and he couldn't have done a better job. He had tons of ideas and ran a lot of them by me first. We left our party with great pictures, hilarious videos, and wonderful memories! Highly recommend!

Response from Marvelous Santas:
Thank you, Ryan. I had a great time visiting with you and your family! Terrific group and was happy I could help make your event more festive!
Santa Brian was excellent. Prompt on time, encouraging, entertaining and very accommodating to our grandchildren’s needs!!! We loved him!!!
We required a unique situation where a corporate group was doing a team building scavenger hunt through the city and had to find Santa in a hotel and get a locked briefcase from him. With lots of moving parts to make it all work correctly, he was incredibly reliable, performed his responsibilities perfectly, and brought so much joy to the group. We would love to work with him again as soon as possible!
Santa Brian was wonderful to work with from start to finish! He was very professional, took the time to talk to me before the event to get some background info on my child and their needs, and general party planning. The day of the event there was great clear communication, and he was very punctual! Would highly recommend! Thanks Santa!

Thank you Jim! I had a blast working with you all.
Santa was an excellent communicator and very flexible with coordinating times and dates, even rescheduled when we had to postpone due to COVID. He was very friendly and happy to do a sing along and came prepared with some games and ideas to do with the kids. He was especially good with the preteens and teens. He was fun and a good entertainer but not too “realistic” for the younger set.
He did a nice job overall.

Response from Marvelous Santas:
Hello Karen,
Thank you for the feedback! I am sorry the experience wasn't as you had hoped or expected. If we book again next year, I'd love to discuss the details that could have made this a more realistic visit for your younger set.

Santa Brian was wonderful. He communicated with me before the event, showed up on time and was wonderful with all of the kids and including the adults. He was great answering questions from the little ones and was great allowing many pictures.
We have had a Santa come every year for the past 4 years on Christmas Eve. This Santa was by far the best! He was energetic, proactive, and personalized the experience for the kids. I plan to hire him again next year and recommend that you do too!

Response from Marvelous Santas:

Thank you, Phyllis! I enjoyed my time with your family, can't wait until next year!
My Cub Scouts had a fun time visiting Santa. Event went very smoothly and Santa did a great job connecting with me as event coordinator and engaging all the kids.
Marvelous Santa visited our home to surprise our son who has developmental disabilities. Santa Brian was amazing with him! He personalized his visit by getting to know haw Justin communicates and what his interests are. He was interactive but instinctively did not overwhelm Justin. He was authentic and his Santa suit was awesome! Can’t wait to see him again next Christmas season!
An amazing experience for all the kids. He came to a birthday party, took pictures, spoke with each child individually, and read a story during pizza time.
All the kids loved seeing Santa and sitting on his lap during our son’s 1st birthday party.
He gave out gifts and danced with the kids. He even got the kids who were to shy to get involved and engage with Santa. Even the adults were excited to take pictures with Santa.
Thank you for making our event so memorable.

Thank you, Matt, for the great review! Looking forward to next year!
Santa Brian attended a family reunion at my home on December 3, 2022 attended by 65 people including 25 children. He was extraordinary. He arrived on-time and he looked incredible. Santa Brian was totally engaged with the children giving each child his undivided attention. He is definitely a 5 star Santa!

Response from Marvelous Santas:
Thank you so much Julie! You had an incredible family, it was an absolute pleasure.
Santa came tonight and made the night so beyond special! He brought so much joy and took the time to have conversations with all of the children. He also went above and beyond to prepare for the business, including being mindful of any sensory issues if they existed.
He gave the kids a “good list” coin and they can’t stop talking about it. We can’t wait to have him back next year!

Santa and Mrs. Claus were incredible! Our children and their friends planned a wedding for their elves on the shelf and Santa was the surprise officiant! I thought my youngest might pass out, she was so excited when Santa walked into our backyard.
Both Santa and Mrs. Clause were truly kind and generous in helping to plan the event and surprised even us with some extra special details that made the day magical for our children.
Marvelous Santa was awesome at our x-mas in June event. Very professional and the kids loved him.

Our Santa was amazing - everyone loved him. At no time did we feel rushed. He engaged all of the kids in the conversations - handed out gifts - took lots of pics. Very professional - exceeded my expectations!!!

Thank You Mike! I appreciate the review! Your family also gets 5 stars!
Santa Brian was very helpful in preparation of our event as well as in his appearance.
Santa read a scripted holiday 'nice and naughty' list that I put together for our company event and was a great addition the evening.
Brian was punctual and the kids loved him. He had a wonderful personality that the children were really enthralled with him.
We would absolutely use Brian again.

About
I have been a member of The International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas (IBRBS) and New England Santa Society (NESS) since 2018. I am vaccinated (COVID, Flu, TDAP), insured, and have passed background checks. Education includes Santa Camp (NH), Northern Lights Santa Academy (GA), conferences, Santa Gathering (PA), Shell-A-Bration (DE) and numerous other workshops. Learning all I can to be the best Santa possible is my pride and joy. I also have several well-seasoned Santa mentors to draw wisdom from. My vision of Santa is someone who can take the time to make children of all ages feel at ease and comfortable so they can really believe in the magic of Christmas. I have been known to make the shyest of children, and the crankiest of adults smile and come out of their shells. Even dogs who "don't like men" have been known to attach themselves to my hip. Make your Christmas marvelous by hiring me for your event!
