(MRS. CLAUS AVAILABLE, her schedule permitting!) Looking for a natural bearded Santa for your event, party, or photo schoot? Look no further! I love bringing wonder and magic to kids of all ages (We're pet friendly, too)! I don't have the look of the standard Coca-Cola Claus, closer to a Christmas Chronicles Claus or a Scott Calvin (The Santa Clause) With a booming Santa "HO! HO! HO!", I want to help you make this holiday season the best one ever! I offer storytime book readings, meet and greets, Classic Photo ops, mall/store events, get-well hospital visits and more!
Santa was great as always. Kids and adults had an awesome time. Can't wait until next year!
Santa and Mrs. Claus were absolutely amazing to work with! They reached out immediately and answered all of our questions to ensure we had things ready for them to arrive and mingle at our event! They were amazing with the kiddos and even engaged with the community throughout the night! We loved Santa's look and his dedication to his craft and Mrs. Claus was such a fun and lovely addition to the event! We cannot thank them enough and highly recommend Riverwalk Santa and his wintery bride!
Such a great experience led by the sweetest Santa and Mrs. Claus!
Our event was perfect as always. Booked for next week, and will book for next year again!

Santa and Mrs. Claus were absolutely incredible at our event! They took the time to speak to each child, asking what they wanted for Christmas and just genuinely getting to know them. All of the kids loved them and they were so accommodating to every child we had. I HIGHLY recommend Riverwalk Santa to anyone wanting Santa photos and will 100% book him again in the future.
Hands down the best! Summer birthday for my 6 year old- Santa & Mrs Claus played with our children and reminded them important life lessons. Highly recommended!!
Riverwalk Santa was professional, respectful and totally committed to ensuring that his part of our worship service was well done.
He was on time, looked wonderful and he and Mrs. Claus added much to our event.
He was a pleasure to work with.
I highly recommend him.
Riverwalk Santa was very personable and professional. He is very flexible and accommodates requests gladly. He returned messages quickly and showed up on time ready to spread the Holiday spirit.
He and Mrs. Claus were great with kids and adults. Everyone was so excited and we had an event to remember for years to come. Thank you and we Salute ya Santa!
Riverwalk Santa was perfect for the food drive we had, he even brought food to donate! Communication was great, Santa was punctual, fun, caring, and great with the kids and adults. Santa and Mrs. Claus did everything from interacting with guests, taking photos, even sat the kids down and sang Christmas carols. Would love to book again in the future and make this an annual event!
Absolutely wonderful to work with, called a couple of days prior to go over any special requests, confirm directions, timing and instructions. Very attentive and interactive, from gift giving to dancing in the snow and bringing smiles to all. It was such a delight to have you at our Christmas toy drive, thank you Santa and Mrs. Claus for such an amazing experience!

Our Santa was amazing. He was personable and fun. His suit was also immaculate! The "real" beard and naturally rosy cheeks were perfect and made our pictures turn our beautifully. I would recommend this Santa to everyone.
Made our team feel so special having our very own Santa, to take pictures with and passed out candy canes to everyone!! Pictures came out fabulous!!
A moment to remember, He brought me back to a child like wonder and made the experience magical. Very professional and never broke character, would highly recommend!
He gets into the roll and I could tell he has a lot of fun. Exactly the kind of person you want to be Santa!

What you get: SANTA CLAUS! Santa and Mrs. Claus (If she's available - there is no additional fee for Mrs. Claus!) I also have a backdrop and a mobile Santa chair if needed for photo ops. I love to walk around during slow periods to meet and greet folks and help attract people to your area. I believe every single person who visits deserves actual face time and engagement with Santa.
Hello there! Before 2021, I was a bog-standard corporate officeworker with a 9-5. a sci-fi and pop-culture junkie at heart, I've always been able to connect with all audiences, whether I was on the Radio in the late 1990's, announcing for many local events here in San Antonio, or in meetings at work.
I discovered my love of being The Jolly Old Elf in 2021 when I was asked to do a home visit at a friend's house. Since then, I've been Santa in all but name! I love seeing the magic on people's faces when they see Santa Claus. The joy in children's eyes, the glee on the face of a pet owner when they see their pet's picture with Santa, a proud parent beaming at seeing their newborn's first picture with St. Nick. It's a love I never knew I had, but always yearned for.
So, I suppose now, I'm an office working Sci-fi and pop culture nerd who has a not-so-secret identity of bringing joy and magic to the holiday season!
I'm very flexible - your setup becomes my stage, no matter the event. I will need you to provide a chair (If you want seated photo ops, and a backdrop. Other than that, I'm easy like Sunday morning!
I'm influenced by classic Santa Claus's from all over pop culture. From Santa in A Nightmare before Christmas, to Tim Allen's Santa Claus, to Kurt Russel in Christmas Chronicles. (Heck, even the terrible Higbee's department store Santa in A Christmas Story!)
Photographer/photography equipment (If needed)
For story times, your choice of short story book (Or I can improvise!)
If you have a particular backdrop or chair in mind, we'd need those. But we do have a chair and backdrop available.
