A professional actor (SAG/AFTRA} who immerses himself in the character of St. Nick, who has studied and honed a portrayal that is consistent and believable. Not just an old guy with a fake beard. Personable and professional, for a magic holiday experience and unforgettable memories. Many of the moments I've shared with children and adults in my years portraying St. Nick have been profoundly wonderful. Let's add yours to the list!
(Please check my calendar. Even if I'm working on a particular date there may be available time before or after the scheduled event. Let's make it happen!)
We didn't realize when we booked that THE SANTA would be coming, we wanted a fun Santa Experience for our guests and what we got was that and so much more. The kids absolutely loved him and he was so great to work with from start to finish. THANK YOU!!
We had the wonderful opportunity of having St. Nicholas for my daughters Christmas Volleyball Party and he was absolutely incredible. We had 12 (13yr old) girls who can be a tough age to entertain but St Nicholas did fun games and involved each girl when doing the 12 days of Christmas. The girls loved it and he made it so much fun having them each do a little skit when it was there turn. St. Nicholas recited ‘Twas the night before Christmas for the girls and parents and it was just wonderful.
We had a list made out for him for all girls names and he read a little something special about each girl as they came up to get their stocking.
St. Nicholas made the night so special for our entire team including the coaches.
We can’t wait to have him at our party again next year.
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Thank you very much Megan, for the review and for the opportunity to guide your gathering as special as my sleigh on Christmas Eve! The team and the very supportive parents, even the coach, all were ready to have Fun, and you gave me all the tools I needed to create some holiday magic. It was my honor to be there, and it would be an honor to see you again later this year! Ho ho ho!!

Santa Nicholas visited our child care three times. And every year he was amazing! Very professional. Kids were supper happy and excited. I highly recommend Santa Nicholas. You will be very happy!
Thank you for your work!
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Natalie, I love your school and all that you do, and it's such an honor to be present during the wonderful performances that your students give and have given. After two years off, we reunited in your new school, and it's as good or better than before! To be in the presence of your students during their performance, and watch their families beaming, and then to engage with everyone in the festivities, has been incredible each of the three events that we've enjoyed. Congratulations on all of your accomplishments in prepping these young children for success. Thank you for these pictures. The photographer is on my Awesome List! I look forward to seeing your next group of stellar children next year!

Our Santa was absolutely amazing!!! I cannot possibly say enough great things about him and how wonderful he was!! He was on time, beautifully dressed in his St. Nicholas suit, he made sure to talk to and take pictures with each of my 50 guests and he went out of his way to make things perfect for me. He took time out of his very busy schedule to address any & all my concerns throughout this process. He was so helpful & provided some really great suggestions which definitely contributed to making my party the best ever. He made a beautiful scroll (naughty/nice list), read it to my guests, sang a Happy Birthday song to 1 of my guests, took pictures AND wrapped up the party by reciting ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas. A good friend of mine showed up with The Grinch which was a surprise even to me!! Santa talked to & took pictures with him & they both took pictures with my guests together! Just absolutely the BEST Christmas party all because of Santa. He made my party the party of the year! I will definitely ask him to come to every Christmas party every year. All of my guests told me how much fun & special Santa was & how much fun they had because of him. Thank you Santa for being so warm, kind, generous and most of all, incredibly special. The best thing that came from this beautiful experience is, Mike & I have gained a really good friend. I will miss you Santa but we WILL be seeing you next year! Many many thanks & a very Merry Christmas!!

Santa Claus was perfect. He was very responsive while planning, on time and full of holiday spirit. The kids at the party were so excited to receive the gifts (I made for Santa to hand out) and ask Santa many questions. We were able to get pictures with all the kids and many families. Santa was exactly what I hoped for any really made our party very special. Thank you Santa. We will hopefully be able to book again next year!
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Ho ho ho Lydia! I didn't know until I saw these pictures that there was a television behind me! The kids were beaming with Holiday Spirit and kept me on task with their questions... which is what I love! With every answered question, I could see the wheels of Belief churning in their wonderful young minds. I would be honored to to spread Holiday Magic for you again next year!

He not only came on time. But made a grand entrance and we loved the personal attention he gave to our guest. He made sure everyone had an opportunity to be with Santa, in conversation and pictures. Thank you fir bring you. Thank you Ms Clause.
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Absolutely loved being there Juanita. You throw a joyous affair. Was a wonderful gathering, and you and your husband can be truly proud of all the Joy you give to everyone. The place was humming with Holiday Spirit, and it was my honor to once again be immersed in it. The kids truly are priceless with their enthusiasm, and I loved taking pictures with all. Can't wait until next year!!!

We hired him for our work Christmas party. He was amazing with all the children and even adults. Highly recommended.
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Amber, I couldn't have been happier that you chose me. From the littlest first timer experiencing The Wonder for the first time, to veteran human beings rekindling The Magic, my time at the office party was really enjoyable. Some tears flowed, and that's when I know that everyone is being touched, and we're creating some wonderful good will. Please keep me in mind for the future. I would be honored to return.

We host a Photos with Santa event at our office of over 300 agents and we booked Santa Claus (St. Nicholas) last year. He was such an amazing experience and everyone was impressed and had an amazing time with him so we knew this year we had to book him again!
Our event date was actually worked around his availability because of how great he was the first time, we did not want anyone else but him.
He has set the bar high for others and we are greatly appreciative of his character skills and talent to be able to bring Santa Claus to live for all of our families to enjoy. Highly recommended, he will make anyone a believer in Santa Claus! We can't wait for next year!
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Omar, I can't wait either! Providing an opportunity for the families of your company and client families is brilliant, the event is incredibly festive and friendly, and Christmas Spirit/Holiday Magic was abundantly displayed both years. For two years straight, your party has been a Highlight of the Holiday Season. The photographers each year, even though two separate people, were stellar. I love that you're providing a photo opportunity that's more than all in attendance can receive standing in line at the local shopping center, and the system that is in place, with the dry erase board and subsequent photos, should be patented! Truly a wonderful time that I am honored to be a part of, and already looking forward to next year!
Our Santa showed up with a bang the moment he came through the door. He was very interactive with all kids an even kept good composure with some of the crazy kid questions that were asked lol. He came handed out gifts, sang with them, played games an read them a book. All kids were left in amazement an great way for them to end their night I would definitely book him again.

St. Nicholas truly made our Christmas one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. The children were star struck and shocked that he not only knew their names, but their elf's on the shelfs names and what they really wanted for Christmas. He entertained the children and adults with the funnest stories about his world travels and even sang the 'twelve days of Christmas' with everyone. My 8 year old son swears he thought he saw his sleigh fly away and our 6 year old niece shared that she had wished Santa would visit her the night before and couldn't believe Santa had granted her wish. One of the children even gave a speech and toasted in his honor when we had dinner later in the evening. The adults were equally excited as we welcomed St. Nicholas into our home and listened to him tell his stories to us all. I believe I speak for everyone in attendance that seeing and meeting St. Nicholas sparked joy and happiness for the inner child in all of us. I hope and pray that we could have the same experience next year with him and I honestly recommend others to hire him for your family or business events. We are forever thankful to him for bringing so much joy into our home. I know the children will grow up with the fondest memories of this past Christmas.
Words can’t even describe how grateful my kids were to have met santa, especially after having to go through these challenging times. I hadn’t seen a smile that big in so long. Santa was everything we had imagined, and this will be a memory they will treasure forever. Thank you for making this Christmas extra special for us all santa, we look forward to seeing you in the upcoming years

I am so thankful for choosing this Santa! He was amazing and so professional. It was my Grandson’s first experience with Santa and he made him feel safe and comfortable. Santa read the story with great character voices and zealously sang songs with the group. He pronounced all the names correctly while passing out the gifts. My family wants to continue this tradition annually and we will definitely be hiring this Santa each year!!
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Dear Anne, not only were my two visits to your home highlights for this season, they were two of the highlights of my 5 seasons of holiday Santa visits. It was so endearing to let your Grandson just take his time and get acclimated to me, and I really appreciated how that was the plan. The family gathering plus the special meeting with "the kids" 9 days earlier were treats for me, and I'm glad you were able to keep everyone awake for our surprise!! PLEASE share the photo of me and the 11 kids. I tallied it up.... If all 11 are at least 85 years old, and I contribute my paltry 63 years, we total 998 years.... BUT since we know your Dad is 92, add another 7 years and that photo represents over a thousand total years of life experience. That's an impressive photo! Wishing everyone good health and happiness in the coming year!!!
Santa arrived on time and was Santa from beginning to end. All of my guest enjoyed his visit and the story before the toys, was the best part. He did everything right. Thanks, Santa
See you next year.
Wow! Santa and his sleigh came to Christmas in Cali! Jolly ol’ st. Nick was the real deal! He enjoyed hanging stockings by the fire, took pictures with everyone, we laughed and danced and had a merry Christmas celebration! Our event catered to some families with individuals of special needs and Santa was so accepting and aware and made everyone feel so loved and comfortable! Thank you Santa!! Until next year! We’ll be sure to leave your cookies and milk for you! Any kind he says! Thank you!

I hired Santa last Christmas 2019. It was the best decision ever. He was entertaining from beginning to end. Kids were very attentive and had lots of fun. He came in very welcoming, read books and engaged with all the kids. He will also acknowledge anyone you tell him to before hand, so I thought that was very special. He’s definitely the best Santa I’ve ever hired. Thank you For all you do!
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Thank you for your wonderful praise Adrienne. Your home was so festive, everyone was having fun... just what the Holidays is all about. Santa is part of everyone's family, at least for one brief eve every year, and getting to spend some time with everyone on Christmas Day was a pleasure. May all your Holidays be Merry, and please say Hello to Nathan and Liam for me. Ho ho ho!!!

We didn’t know what to expect but boy did Santa deliver! The kids (& adults) were absolutely blown away with Santa. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this Santa. He will definitely be a part of our Christmas for years to come!
Photos from this event
Santa was engaging from beginning to end! You just have to hire him to see for yourself. When the oldest to the youngest say “I will never ever forget this Christmas!” .....that’s all that needs to be said. Lovers every minute from communication prior to booking and not having to worry one bit!
Will be hiring again next years!!
St. Nicholas provided the old fashioned Christmas miracle that the grandkids will remember for the rest of their lives. He was charming and very personable totally captivated their attention. He was absolutely perfect in every way and brought our family Christmas tradition to life.
Santa was awesome! We only had3 kids and 2 were past Santa age but the 4 yr old was in awe! Thanks again Santa!
My son has Autism and this is only the 2nd time he has ever met Santa. My son is 17, however at a 1st grade level and the malls are too crazy for him to see Santa. We had the idea last year to invite Santa to our home. My son connected so much with Santa. It truly melted my heart. This year our son was even more excited to see him. Santa played, laughed and read to him. Our son’s face lit up with pure joy. The love and spirit Santa brings is truly what Christmas is all about. If you don’t believe in Santa, you will. This is the real Santa and truly an angel sent from above. Our family is forever grateful and we look forward to next year. Thank you for giving the gift of the true meaning of Christmas. 🎄💕🙏🏼

Great experience. My 8yr old had all the questions wondering is Santa is real. He had an answer for every single question plus more stories. We had a wonderful time with him!
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Jeasy, your set up at Sugar Shack was wonderful! The 3 hours that I spent in your store was fun, and your daughter's scrutiny melted into Belief. I saw the change in her eyes, and it was both touching and miraculous. Your boys were a riot! They have more energy than my elves! I wish every photo opportunity was as well thought out as yours. If you want to do this again next year, let's get together early so that we can film a few more bits for social media blasts. NO extra charge btw, I just want to make my visit as beneficial as possible. I envision getting the word out earlier and creating a line out the door! That's my 2020 wish for you and your very special shop.
Could not have been better !
5 stars for the event
St. Nicholas was truly magical in every way. I hired him to come surprise my daughters TK class at her school winter performance. When I went to meet him in the schools office, the principal and office staff were absolutely smitten with him. He took the time to take some pictures with them and spread his Christmas joy.
Then when it was time for him to make his appearance in the MPR for my daughters class, they were absolutely speechless when he walked through the door. He passed out letters to each student and took pictures as each student came up to collect their letter. After that was finished he sat down with all the kids and read them a story and took a group picture with everyone.
After he was finished he with the TK class, Santa took a trip around our campus, with the escort of our Principal, to all the SDC classes to spread even more joy. The pure joy on all those kids faces was worth every penny I paid, and then some. He went above and beyond to make the experience amazing for everyone. St. Nicholas did not have to go around to all the classes, but you could tell he really enjoys what he does.
I would highly recommend him to anyone who asks and have been telling everyone how awesome he was. I will definitely have him at all my future Christmas festivities.
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Hillary, every ounce of Christmas Spirit that I delivered was echoed in return by each child I met at "Merryview" School. It was really an honor to meet the office staff, administrators and teachers that obviously are doing a fantastic job every day. Every child was excited, enthusiastic, and polite, and the awe and wonder wouldn't have happened without preparing and nurturing those responses, so I was able to do what I do because the seeds had already been planted by your school. To feel the trust and love that everyone, adults and children alike, had in me of for me was a beautiful miracle. "Merryview" School is tops on the Nice List, and I eagerly await a future return.

Thank you Santa for giving us such a magical Christmas Eve! Every moment, from booking, up to the event itself, was seamless and you brought us such joy. We have booked other Santa performers before but you were by far the most authentic, warm and full of Christmas spirit. The kids (and the adults) loved the poem as well. Hoping we get to see you again next year!

My son has Autism and the thought of going to the mall to see Santa made my heart hurt as I knew my son couldn’t do that. He is 16 and the last time he saw Santa he was 1. This year my son is excited for Christmas. So I had the idea to hire Santa to come here. This Santa Clause is truly the real deal. Truly I started believing in Santa after meeting him. He was so amazing with my son. He followed his lead and had so much patience. Tears flowed down my face as I got to see my son light up playing with Santa. I waited 15 years for this and it was worth the wait. Santa Clause is very real after meeting him and the magic of Christmas will be forever etched in my mind after seeing Santa play with my son. There are no words for the gratitude I have. This was not just a gift for my son, this was a gift for all of us! Thank you so much for taking a chance and joining my son is his world. What a beautiful person Santa Clause is! 💕
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Kristin, I held it together last night, but I have to confide.... St. Nicholas is a Delicate Flower! Finally, after seeing these photos, I get to share in your happy tears now streaming down from my eyes too. Jax was such a pure pleasure, as was the Energy and Spirit of your family members that attended and shared in this remarkable event. As you know, I am VERY CLOSE with a Dad who has an adult autistic son. so this visit enriched me and touched me in a way no other visit ever has. I don't know if you remember, but I mentioned a special gift from Santa that Jax could wear on his belt if he wishes. I'll be dropping that be discreetly so that it will be there for him under the tree on Christmas morning. When you hear the bells ring, it means you Believe! Let me tell you profoundly and sincerely, Jax believes in me, and I believe in Jax and his wonderful support system, especially you!

We invited Santa to our winter performance show at child care. All the kids and their parents loved Santa. It was very easy to communicate with him. He was very professional. I felt like I can just relax and trust him. He was just like real Santa. After the show my kids were so happy that they could not stop talking about him. Thank you very much for coming to our show, and for making our kids happy. We will happily hire Santa again next years.
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Natalie, I was so very impressed by you, your children, your husband, and all of the parents and family in attendance. You crafted a perfect show, and prepared my visit perfectly. Your school is incredible! I can tell all of your students are learning valuable skills, and they love you! The Holiday Spirit was incredible, and I would be elated to return next year!

Omg! Our Santa was Amazing! He was so professional and kind. We were so impressed by his sweet nature and his knowledge of everything related to Santa. He truly encompassed the magic of Santa and the Holiday spirit. We have nothing but gratitude for such a wonderfully smooth experience! 5 stars all the way!
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Hannah, I feel compelled to share with others what I shared with you. It was an honor and a pleasure to make my advertised appearance at Sage Goddess. Katie, my right hand elf, was exceptional, very sweet and pleasant. She already had a vibrant engaging rapport with each of your customers that entered, which provided me the opportunity to instantly bond with Holiday interaction along side her. My intuition was that your clientele would be welcoming and engaging, but I couldn't foresee the graciousness that was pervasive throughout my visit. I mentioned to Katie that this was going to be the highlight of my day and I was correct. It was EXCEPTIONAL meeting the son of one of your customers, filled with wonder, and awe, and questions. The moments I spent with him are so key to the reasons I love being Santa. He Believes, and he thoughtfully considered my answers to his questions, which seemed for enrich his Incredible Holiday Spirit. He and everyone else I met enriched me with their presence. Thank you for choosing me.
Santa arrived early and made a grand entrance with his bells and jolliness! Everyone enjoyed taking pictures with Santa in the photo booth and on their phones for selfies. Thank you, I had a great booking experience.
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
You and your team were such a joy to work with. Your company members are all at the TOP of my Nice List!! The party was a blast, everyone was in the Holiday Spirit, and I would work for you again and again in the future. Please don't hesitate to call me! Ho Ho Ho!!!
Really brought the spirit of Christmas alive! Made our party so magical! We highly recommend him! He is the real deal! Love our St. Nicholas! We will hire him again and again! He made a believer out of us all!
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Sharon, with the festive environment you created for the party in your lovely home, it was easy to guide one and all to a Merry and Bright Celebration! Oh what fun to return to your home in the future! I'll put my Head Elf in charge and spend some time enjoying the wonderful gathering at your home!
We highly recommend you book St.Nicholas at your party! He really brings that magical Christmas spirit alive and makes everyone believe! He is the real Santa Claus in my book! He went the extra mile and put on his beautiful Victorian St. Nick attire to match our house decor! If you want everyone to “believe” hire him! We absolutely Loved him and are definitely going to hire him again and again! Thank you So much St. Nicholas for keeping the spirit of Christmas alive! 💕🙏🏻💯 You are Amazing!
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Sharon, you paved the way for everyone to Believe! Your home is more beautiful than our decor at the North Pole! Yes, we certainly coordinated my clothes in harmony with your Holiday Decorations... the photos with everyone glow with The Spirit of The Season! I hope some of the families were able to use their photos as Christmas Cards... or at least Holiday E-mails!
Have a Very Merry Christmas, and see you in December 2019!

We have hired this Santa Claus for the past two years at our annual Parade of Lights event. He is punctual, friendly, and, more important, has a great rapport with children and families. We are crossing our fingers he is available for next year!
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Jed, I can assure you that the Channel Islands Holiday Festival has a reserved spot on my Nice List! It's a wonderful Merry environment, right next to an opportunity for many kids to see snow for the first time! I'm looking forward to having another holly jolly good time in December 2019!
Wow. I am blown away at how Great Santa was for our Donuts with Santa play date at my home. Santa was great to work with from beginning to end. Good communication prior to our event, I felt super comfortable that Santa knew exactly what my expectations were and was so excited to have him. Santa was on time and Never left his character, it was a lot of fun. Santa read to the kids and had a great feel of how the kids were responding to him. One book with just enough for our toddlers, then he was great for pictures and spending time with each kid, there were 22 of them! That's not even the best part, after all that Santa went outside and played with all the children, it was the cutest thing for these toddlers to get to play catch with Santa, it was unreal and these kids and parents will have the best memories because of him.
Can't Thank You enough Santa, your were awesome and as the host you made me look so good. Everyone kept saying, "You got the real deal!"
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Sara, I perceive that you have many talents, but lets include Event Coordinator!! You provided me with all the tools to shine, and gave me the reigns to guide the party. The festive environment was already present upon my arrival... what a wonderful home and amazing neighborhood! All I had to do was be "me"... Santa!... and enjoy all of the wonderful people that you had invited. How incredible that the talented photographer is the daughter of one of my best ever friend's sister! It was another indication that everything was in sync, and we were intended for Epic Success. Thank you for choosing me and let me know if you want a repeat performance next year. I'm looking forward to taking pictures with your next child! And if you want me to try and guide any games in your ultimate play yard next year, we can give it a try, but it honestly was such a pleasure to just engage with the kids on their own terms. Oh what fun!!!

This was our second year with St. Nicholas and he was Amazing once again! He made a scroll highlighting the kids' year and spent time with each of them. He sang Christmas carols and read them a story. We could not have been happier with this Santa!
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Jessica, thank you very much for your wonderful words. You beat me to it... I've been going strong since our private party with your family on Sunday afternoon and just grabbed the computer this morning to let you know what a wondrous celebration it was for me too! Thank you for the pictures, they truly tell the story of a fantastic gathering.

St. Nicholas was hired for our preschool photo event and I was in awe of his performance. Parents are still talking about how personal and authentic he is. Not only was the new event a success but I cant imagine hiring anyone else in the future.
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Candice, things happen for a reason, and I was blessed to be chosen by you. What a kick-off to this Holiday Season! Everyone was wonderful- the children, the parents, and especially Melissa the incredible photographer! This was the only Saturday that I was scheduled off by South Coast Plaza- no such thing as coincidence! God Bless St. Luke's Pre-School. I would be honored and delighted to be your St. Nicholas again.

Last year Santa came to our home and spent time with the little ones, mingled with the adult, and patiently entertained my 5 year old son throughout his visit to our home and Christmas Party.
This year he returned with the same Jolly Happy personality with more stories and again patiently entertained my son who refused to share Santa with any one else.
Santa does an amazing job the kids absolutely love him! He also went far and beyond his duties when I had already booked him and then asked to change our date and time to a week later.
I would highly recommend St Nicholas to anyone looking for an awesome Santa, VERY knowledgeable in Santa “stuff” and plan to have him at all of our Annual Christmas parties!
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Lela, it was such an honor and privilege to spend time with your family and friends for the second year. It felt like a reunion! Your son's holiday enthusiasm is remarkable, and I think he reminds me of me when I was a child! Your neighborhood might be the most festive that I've ever seen... hardly any Grinches!! Have a very Happy New Year, and I'll see you next December!!

Santa was perfect for our company holiday party! He arrived right on time (even early to find parking!), was very professional, and remained in character for the entirety of the event. We had a corner set up for him and he knew exactly what to do next. All the children lined up to speak with him and take pictures. We provided gifts for him to hand out to the children. The kids loved it and I think the parents were happy to have an opportunity to get some last minute family Christmas pictures as well as bring their kids to meet Santa. After all the kids had gone, Santa was such a great sport, taking pics with the adults. When there was no more line, Santa stayed and conversed with all the kids who came up to him. So happy we made the decision to hire him this year. I think this will be new holiday tradition for our company party for years to come!
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Alma, it was a real pleasure to be present during your company's Holiday Party. You and Natalie made it so easy for me to attend to what Santa does best.....spreading the Magic of the Season. The time I spent with the splendid people that work for John Deere flew by, and the wonder and awe in the faces of several kids is what it's all about for me. I am honored to have been chosen, and I hope this becomes a tradition too.

St. Nicholas was amazing at our family party. He took the time to take as many pictures as we wanted, spoke to each kid, sang with the kids in a fun and interactive way, presented them all with gifts (we purchased) and finished off with some games. We can't wait for next Christmas so we can have him over again!
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
If all of my party appearances go as well as the one we just shared on Sunday in your lovely home, oh what a jolly happy holiday season it will be!!! I'm so glad you chose me out of all the others all the way back in July! I've never had an inquiry that early, let alone a booking!
Everyone was wonderful, the kids were lots of fun, and if children (and adults) are convinced and touched that they were visited by the REAL Santa, then I have accomplished my goal.
Thank you so much for trusting my intuitions and letting me run a lot of the party and guiding the kids through activities. The singing was fun, I loved answering all of their questions, and The Twelve Days of Christmas sing-along always brings some laughs. Kids and adults seemed to get a kick out of "Santa Says". It was really easy to guide the party because everyone was so enthusiastic.
To you and everyone that was present, I already can't wait for next year. Have a very wonderful Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We had an amazing evening with Santa. He was personable and took the time and effort to get my friends nervous 2.5 year old to feel comfortable. She was happily holding Santa’s hand by the end of the evening. He was sweet and gentle with my 2mo old son, I have photos that I will always cherish. He also was happy to give treats and welcome my dog. All over a fantastic experience and we will definitely be hiring again.
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Natalie, it was one of the joys of my holiday season to spend this evening with everyone. If you look at my photos, the moments we captured are here for anyone visiting this page to enjoy. I'm looking forward to doing it again!
Santa St. Nicholas was great! Very friendly with our kids. Our kids loved the experience of meeting Santa and handing him their christmas letters. Would definitely recommend!
This was my first time using gig salad to book anyone so I was so scared that something would go wrong but it was all perfect! Santa met and even exceeded all expectations, on time, and took his time with the kids :) Definitely made our party! I would book him again ;)

St. Nicholas was wonderful. The kids really were so excited to see Santa and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you St. Nicholas.
St. Nicolas was terrific! His visit was a special surprise for our guests and everyone LOVED it! Thank you for making the night so special!
Our Santa was the ultimate perfect guest at our family's Christmas party! The children were amazed (as Santa knew a little factoid about each of them) and the parents in attendance said our Santa raised the bar this year! Santa (Michael Richardson) was professional, believable and personal. The combination of which I did not expect. Finding the "real" Santa on Gigsalad was easy and efficient. THANK YOU!
This was our first Christmas in our new home, we invited our new neighbors over and Santa was a hit!!! When Santa arrived, we only has a couple of guests and the kids were a little hesitant to sit on his lap, Santa got up and began to mingle and before we knew it, he had all of the children surrounding him. He had a story book and props and kept them busy and happy. We plan to have an annual Christmas Party with our neighbors and we will be using St Nicholas for our Santa!
In the spirit of jolly St. Nick, this Santa pleases children and adults alike! Very accommodating and friendly!
Santa was wonderful! Our seniors had much fun taking pictures with him. Arrived punctually, was very polite, interacted fabulously, and even stayed a little later than expected. I'd definitely book him again.

Santa Nicholas was amazing with kids and everyone loved him. He is sweetest Santa I have ever met :)

Santa came to our house on Christmas Eve to leave Christmas cheer. I heard the noise and woke my daughter up to see what it was. We came to the living room to find Santa, filling the stockings! He said he remembered when my mom and I were little girls and he was so impressed with how my daughter had been raising money for children's hospital and complimented the Christmas decoration, comparing it to the North Pole! It was an experience my daughter will remember forever. She still talks about it, saying "Can you believe we caught Santa??" I highly recommend everyone sneak a peek!
Response from Santa Claus (St. Nicholas):
Oh my! I remember it well!! I felt so silly when I was a fumble finger and woke your daughter. A loud "clunk" while I was filling the stockings.... and suddenly there she was, standing in the hallway with wide eyed wonder!!! Ho ho ho, what a sweet little girl!! But it was nice to take a few moments away from my work to have a Christmas Eve chat, and I was sooo touched that she was looking out for my health by leaving me almond milk!! It was very refreshing and gave me some energy to continue my journey. Please tell her hi from me and keep Christmas in your heart every day!

Do you want American traditional "Coca Cola" Santa, or more of a Victorian St. Nicholas look? I have two suits. See pics. (*Note: The Coca Cola suit was recently upgraded with new fur.) Real boots, not spats, and a real beard.
A professional actor who immerses himself in the character of St, Nick. Not just an old guy with a fake beard. Personable, professional, very very believable, for a magic holiday experience and unforgettable memories.

Do you remember Captain Kangaroo? Sheriff John? Surely Mister Rogers' Neighborhood? These were my childhood heroes, my mentors, wonderful people who related to children in a special, sensitive, and connected way. They are my role models for my portrayal of Santa Claus (St. Nicholas). My Act Name is chosen with purpose, as my portrayal is connected not only to the Jolly Old Elf who has gained so much recognition in holiday cartoons, specials and movies, but also back to the original essence of the Sainted Wonderworker who lived over 1700 years ago. Much like the impression I gained from the gentlemen of my youth, I consider it an honor to "be" Santa Claus, and the experience is like living inside of a child's teddy bear. To experience all of the wonder, awe, love, and trust are gifts, and I reflect and reciprocate this attention back to every child, and every person, I meet.
