35 years a professional Santa, I actually started my career at 3 years old reciting Twas the Night
Before Christmas. I specialize in corporate and community events, photography studios, film and television appearances, and home visits. Clients have often described me as the REAL Santa because of my friendliness and approachability. I am a story teller, and as a retired teacher, I relate to children easily
Santa Richard was amazing. It was likely a different crowd and environment then he typically does but he did an awesome job, and everyone was thrilled to see him.
Perfect Santa, nice and social and looks the part :) would book again.
Great custom good pleasant Santa children enjoy the experience
Response from Santa Claus Richard:
Thanks Alan. Happy to be a part of your event
Santa Richard was great to work with pre-event on the phone and by email.
He arrived early to the venue dressed and ready to surprise our employees.
He brought his Santa chair which we set up on our stage and asked him to bring his Naughty and Nice book and was willing to do a funny performance based on information provided to him beforehand.
Our employees loved it! And loved getting their picture taken with Santa!
Response from Santa Claus Richard:
Thanks for this review, Kim. I truly enjoyed your event. Everyone was so welcoming.
Santa Claus Richard is the magical Santa every child wishes to see, he read the story with his sweet voice and every kid in our house believed that he was a real one who came from the North Pole. The kids were so excited to see him and talk to him. So kindly he answered all the questions. We love to have him next year as well
Response from Santa Claus Richard:
Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Nansi. It was a pleasure sharing the evening with you and your family and your guests.
Santa Richard was GREAT!
Arrival time was exact - actually 15 minutes early
Did a walk-through the family tables (100 plus attendees) greeted 20 of the children with a story for Christmas; handed out presents; took family pictures and spent better part of an hour visiting everyone before departing . Comments were all totally positive ! Thank you Santa Richard 👍
Response from Santa Claus Richard:

The real deal!
Santa Claus Richard was amazing!
Was able to accept the gig last minute and fulfilled all our special requests. Such an authentic and jolly Santa!
Would highly recommend.
I cannot express what a pleasure it was to work with Santa Richard during every step of the process! Not only does he look and act like Santa he is also such a kind hearted man!
His interactions with the children were amazing and always in character! He knew exactly what to do and say with children of every age!
He costume, real bread and entire demeanor was so extremely believable I called him Santa the entire time lol.
We had clear communication via this app and even on the phone.
I highly recommend Santa Richard for any event you may have!
10/10!
I cannot wait to work with him again
Response from Santa Claus Richard:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Charlene. You were wonderful to work with and I look forward to further collaborations with you!

I love interacting with children and their families. We talk, I answer questions, tell stories and sing songs with the children. I am often called "the REAL Santa" because of my interactions with the families and especially the kids.
Santa is in my blood. I did my first performance at the age of 3 reciting Clement Moore's A Visit from St Nicholas and there are photos of me in a Santa suit handing out gifts on Christmas morning at the age of 10.
I have performed as a professional Santa for nearly 40 years and a real-bearded Santa for the last 15. It is a passion and a calling for me.
I have been a teacher, actor, chef, baker and pastry chef over the many years of my careers. And in every case I have been providing services and interactions with my clients and everyone around. I know how to engage an audience and hold their attention. I love working with kids and families and some of my favourite gigs have been working with photographers working with families who have children on the spectrum. We take the time to help the children release their anxiety and whether or not the eventually sit right beside me, we have managed to get some amazing photographs for their albums.
My needs are very simple. A place to sit so I can talk to the children, a mic if the room is large and you want my voice to project to the entire group when I tell stories
