Professional Santa of 30+ years, fully insured and yearly background check. My role as Santa has included Summer Santa events as well as holiday events. I provide services for private parties, corporate events and civic organizations. I am well known in the Albany, N.Y. area as a premier Santa.
Santa arrived early and was not even out of his car before his gig started as it was an outdoor event and people were already around! Santa has a great personality, appearance and demeanor. He was respectful and safe in regards to Covid but not one attendee felt like they missed out on the experience. I’ve always been convinced he’s the real thing and this event didn’t change anything!! We love Mr. S. Claus

We were so happy to have Mr S Claus come to our home to surprise our party guests. He was wonderful; Interacted with the kids appropriately, and didn’t mind taking a ton of pictures. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much!
Response from Mr. S. Claus:
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive evaluation. It was my pleasure to have visited your party.
Me. S. Claus was an awesome addition to our party. I’ve heard from MULTIPLE people how good he was and what a great job he did. He was awesome with the older kids and knew just how to handle all the little kid questions. He was even great with our newly adopted dog that was skittish at first but Mr. S prevailed and won him over! Thank you Mr. S - you were awesome!
Response from Mr. S. Claus:
Thank you for your kind words, the positive review and for making me a part of your holiday event. It was a pleasure. P.S. I would have taken the dog home with me if I could have.
Mr S Claus was wonderful. He brought many smiles and joy to young and old. I would highly recommend him.
Response from Mr. S. Claus:
Thank you for your kind words. It was a beautiful wedding and I appreciate being included in your special day.

Mr. S. Claus is the the true spirit of Christmas. He visited our home for a party with 9 children, allowing each of them a visit with Santa that they would never get from a mall. We had game time, story time and gift giving, and he asked each child by name what they wanted for Christmas - it was truly special. Everyone had a blast. Thank you Mr. S. Claus!
Response from Mr. S. Claus:
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you taking the time to provide a positive review of my visit. It was my pleasure.
By Far, The Best Santa Claus Ever! Every year we bring our employees and their families to a Christmas party where Santa comes, and each child gets to go up and tell Santa what they want for Christmas and get their picture taken. This year that Christmas party was canceled. So we had to scramble at the last minute and put together our own. We were able to do so and luckily, Mr. S. Claus was able to fit us in to his very busy schedule. The children were so excited, they said this year it was the Real Santa, not one of his helpers. It was so last minute we did not think we were going to be able to get a Santa Clause to come, and to be so fortunate to have Mr. S. Clause, saved our Christmas Party and made it even better than before.
Response from Mr. S. Claus:
Thank you for the kind words and generous review.

Santa was fantastic. The entire family really enjoyed our time with Santa. The children loved the Q & A session and his real beard. The kids gave him 5 stars and said he was the real deal.
Thanks again. Looking forward to next year!
Santa was great! He exceeded our expectations!
Response from Mr. S. Claus:
Great family and a great family event. I think I had as much as the kids seemed to. Thank You for the opportunity.

Professional Santa since 1983, serving the Stillwater, Mechaniville, and New York's capitol region. Yearly, repeat performances include N.E.N.Y. Make A Wish foundation, Stillwater Area Community Center, Arvin Hart Fire Department, The Smile Lodge Pediatric Dentistry, The Ripe Tomato Restaurant, Round Lake Fire Department, Private, Corporate, and Family gatherings and events.
I am a member Amalgamated Order of Real Bearded Santa's, an organization dedicated to maintaining and enhancing the persona of the jolly old Elf, himself. I maintain a yearly background check as well as being fully insured.
When I am booked I arrive on time and call my customer as I arrive to their venue. I will bring in and distribute gifts, if requested, purchased by the customer and left for me at the time of my arrival. I love to answer questions about Santa, his reindeer and other holiday related questions, I frequently read The Night Before Christmas, when so desired.
I require a large, stable chair for greeting my smaller guests, I also prefer to have a fan available as it can get dreadfully hot when under lights and in a silk lined, wool suit.
Although not necessary, most visits provide some type of give away to the customers/guests. Token gifts such as Candy Canes, books, stickers, pencils and the like are the usual give aways.
