He is a wonderful and soft spoken Santa. He did so well with every age group. Would 10 out of 10 recommend and will definitely book him again. Thank you Santa John for spreading holiday cheer this year!

Santa was very professional, interactive, jovial, and on time. I’m still getting comments days later from those who attended the party on how much the enjoyed Santa’s visit.Highly recommend!
It was lovely working with Santa John. He shows up on time, is very professional, and is sweet and attentive with each child. I had a dad whisper behind me during their session "oh, this Santa is just great!". This was the first year I did Santa sessions, and with 14 families booked in 3 hours - they all went so smoothly. I look forward to booking with Santa John for next year.
I can't begin to say enough nice things about John. What a true professional. We hired him for just a small Gigi and he went WAY above and beyond to deliver a great performance of our company mascot. Not only nailed the character, but showed up before time, stayed in a hit costume until he about passed out, and made things easy for us. Try getting that from a young person - John will run rings around them. Not only a solid performance, but a solid guy. You can't possibly go wrong hiring John - a real class act!
Santa John is the real deal. He has such a special way of interacting with children. When he reads to them they sit in complete awe. He listens to what every child says to him and doesn’t rush them a long. He’s definitely a sweet, jolly Saint Nick!

About
Whether at the keyboard, singing Christmas carols with children, visiting one on one or doing a virtual visit Santa is excited to connect with children from all over the world. While the white beard and red suit may help identify Santa, it is having the heart of Santa and the ability to relate to each and every child that he comes into contact with that makes for a magical experience.
Santa John began doing volunteer work for the Girl Scouts of Southwestern Ohio at their annual Candy Cane Hunt. Santa connected with the children right away. It was such a wonderful experience. He then began his journey as a professional Santa.
Santa John has had the opportunity to visit with children throughout the United States, Canada, military bases and all over the word through virtual visits. He has also had the opportunity to meet in person with children in Southwest Ohio as well as Northern Kentucky at:
Cabela’s
Bass Pro Shop
Holiday Junction at the Cincinnati Museum Center
Entertrainment Junction
The Moraine Country Club
Sycamore Creek Country Club
Downtown Dayton Partnership
Franklin Park Conservatory
Churches
That is not all of the places you may have seen Santa John. You may have observed him visiting with children and posing for pictures at Disney World, amusement parks, grocery stores and Costco talking to children in an informal setting. After all, just because you take the suit off doesn’t mean that children and adults don’t recognize Santa when he is out and about and on vacation.
Additional Booking Notes
With virtual visits you just need to be able to do a zoom meeting.
