I am a REAL BEARDED SANTA looking to bring a little Christmas magic to your family gathering, block party, corporate party, or Santa photo-op in the greater Denver area. Putting smiles on the faces of children young and old is what I live for!
Santa Lawdon was the hit of our 2024 holiday party. Kids and adults alike couldn’t wait to visit with Santa. He was professional, excellent communication (before, during & after our party) & the real deal. He took time to read a holiday favorite, pictures with everyone and mingled with the party crowd. Highly recommend for any event. Don’t think twice… it will be worth it!!!
Response from Santa Lawdon:
Thank you so much for those kind words, Kristi! I had a lovely time at your party. Everyone was so nice, and the children were all just adorable! I wish you and yours a joyous New Year!
Such a treat for the kids, Santa Lawdon, was a surprise at a family party, his communication with me was done very well before the party. The way he interacted with the kids was perfect, they could not get enough of him, he let them ask questions which was so fun to listen to, for instance “Is Rudolph’s nose really shiny?” He read them a story and listened to every child’s wish!
Pictures and also interacted with the adults. I also made little goodie bags for Santa to hand out to the kids which made Santa even more special. It was the perfect evening
Response from Santa Lawdon:
Thank you very much, Flo! Your kind words warmed my heart almost as much as seeing the children last Sunday. You have a great bunch of people - they were all so kind and so much fun. I had a lovely time at your party!

I booked Santa Lawdon for a work event my office hosted to thank all our referring offices and their families, and he was amazing! I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews about how impressed everyone was.
Not only does he look the part, but he completely embodies the role—he never breaks character. From the moment he entered the room, he filled the space with holiday cheer. He read stories, posed for photos, and mingled with every adult and child.
I will definitely be booking Santa Lawdon again!
Response from Santa Lawdon:
Thank you so much, Leigha, for your kind words. It means a lot to me! I had a great time at your party - you surround yourself with good people (and good dogs!) I would be honored to grace your next Christmas party.

He contacted me when I booked to make an initial connection, and let me know he would call again about a week before the event so he could get the details of how the event would go, how many people, anything special he should know, etc. He showed up on time and was fantastic at making an entrance and talking to people as soon as he arrived. We had a community party with many families. I was flexible on how he should spend his time, with the main focus being time in a chair meeting kids and getting pictures taken. I loved that when there was a lull he got up and chatted to folks. He ended up getting kids that were scared initially to give him hugs!
He offered to bring his photo album and I was curious so asked him to show it off and I was not disappointed! The kiddos flocked to him and really enjoyed the chance to interact. It was adorable. I would 100% recommend him!
Response from Santa Lawdon:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Vanessa! I really enjoyed your party. The venue was beautiful, the people were wonderful, and the children were amazing! So much fun. Thank you for inviting me, and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Santa Lawdon was amazing! He arrived right on time, interacted very appropriately with everyone and we were very happy!
Response from Santa Lawdon:
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure to see all of your wonderful children, and the staff couldn't have been nicer! A special shout-out to my "elf for the day", Mimi. She was great! I wish you all a Merry Christmas!
We held a brunch for 700 guests, and they could not stop raving about how wondering Santa Lawdon was. He was engaging, knew how to interact with different types of groups, and all around just a super sweet Santa. In the words of most of the kids, "He was definitely the real one". We look forward to working with him again in the future!
Response from Santa Lawdon:
Thank you so much for including me in your holiday festivities this year. I had a wonderful time, and your kind words warm my heart! Thank you! I look forward to working with you again in the future.

We had Santa Lawdon at our Christmas party for special needs children for a second year in a row! Just like the year before, he was patient, smiling & joyful, wearing his real beard (even got questioned by a kiddo about it this year!), circling the room to visit with parents & kids, and genuinely looking & playing the part of Jolly ol' Saint Nick!
I can't recommend him enough! Especially for any non-believers ;) Thank you Santa, see you next year!
Response from Santa Lawdon:
Thank you so much for the kind words, Jessica! I have such a great time at your party each year: everyone is so nice, and the children are just wonderful! I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas, and I look forward to seeing you again next year!

We hired Santa Lawdon for our 2nd annual photos with Santa event. He had fabulous communication from the first point of contact. He called me a few days before the event to get a better understanding of our expectations and needs. He arrived on time and was in Santa character the entire time. He had great communication with our photographer and helped the photographer get the shots. He looked exactly like the real Santa and had a great suit. My favorite part about Santa Lawdon was how incredible friendly he was to all of our guests. During downtime, if no one was wanting pictures with him, he would walk around the party and mingle with people. I even overheard him asking a group of dads what they wanted for Christmas, so sweet! He was so friendly, so wonderful with the children and adults and we hope to have him be our consistent Santa for our event every year. Look no further, he is a perfect Santa for your event!
Response from Santa Lawdon:
My gosh, Alana, you are too kind! Thank you so much for the lovely review. You're going to make me blush! Thank you for inviting me, and I look forward to returning to your holiday party next year. Merry Christmas!

Santa Lawdon was exceptionally friendly and made all the children feel special. Besides handling the photo event in a very professional way, he interacted with the families between picture taking. Everyone loved him!
Response from Santa Lawdon:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Judy! I had a lovely time, and the children were all wonderful! I wish everyone I met a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope our paths cross again one day.

Santa Lawdon braved the cold snap was able to visit our Orthodontic clinic in Greeley. It was wonderful. Our patients, and even some of our neighbors, came through our offices to take pictures and say hello. After several years of not being able to celebrate the holidays with friends and family, it really meant a lot that we were able to get together again. Santa Lawdon was the star on top of the tree.
I probably don’t have enough space to rave about Santa Lawdon! He was absolutely magical! He resembles the perfect Santa Claus. Everything was so beyond my expectations and I am very grateful to have met him for my family!
Santa Lawton made our Christmas Eve celebration perfect. We had an incredibly busy restaurant and he did such a great job interacting with all the guests. He was friendly and outgoing and such a pleasure to have working the room and making our guests Christmas Eve dinner that much more special. I most appreciated how genuine and authentic he was. I highly recommend Santa Lawton.
Santa Lawdon was amazing. He was so kind and patient with all the kids and helped make our Christmas so special
Santa Lawdon was amazing! We really appreciate how much fun he was ad hope to have him back again next year!
Santa Lawdon was great! Very accommodating and "go with the flow". Would definitely recommend.
We had the pleasure of hiring & working with Santa Lawdon for our company's holiday party with special needs kiddos and their families. Not only was he very communicative leading up to the event but he also arrived on time, with his North Pole backdrop, dressed & ready to go (in a clean suit!) and smelled like sugar cookies (from Mrs. Claus' kitchen we were told ;) ). As the kiddos started to arrive & visit, he was patient, gentle, kind, and everything you'd expect and want from a Santa. His demeanor matched every visitor perfectly, from infants all the way up to teenagers & parents alike. I highly recommend Santa Lawdon to anyone looking for a "real" Santa that wants to elevate their holiday party. We will definitely be reaching out to him in the future!

Lawdon was incredible with our students and families. He is a natural in this role and actually cares about the kids and their families. He is the real deal and I would recommend him for any event.
Santa was engaged authentic and so kind for not only our young children on site but our high school students and staff alike. He was timely, funny, and very memorable for everyone here. He even has the cooolest looking authentic book of The Night Before Christmas for the kids. Very professional and highly recommended for any event!
Santa Lawdon was so wonderful with all the children that showed up to our community event. He really looks like the real Santa :-) He was punctual and very kind. I highly recommend him.

Santa Lawdon did everything we wanted and more. He was a wonderful addition to our festivities and everyone (young and old) loved him!
Santa Lawdon arrived on time, was exceptional in his interaction with babies, toddlers, elementary school aged children, teenagers and adults. He made sure to interact with everyone in the building and had a personal conversation with all. Great job Santa Lawdon!!!

Price Range: $150/hour plus fees
After hiring Santa Lawdon, you can expect a phone call in which I will ask you how you envision your event and Santa's role in it. If you have a specific idea of what Santa should do for the party, I am happy to oblige. If your plans are not yet firm, we'll talk through your ideas and plan Santa's role together. If your event is more free form and you want Santa to just "do his thing", I will listen to Christmas wishes from the children, mingle with your other guests, answer all those great Santa questions children ask, and help make your party the best, most memorable, Christmas party ever!
A few examples:
Some clients want a grand entrance. If that means bursting through the front door, popping out of a closet, or simply "Ho! Ho! Ho'ing!" my way into the room, I want to make your vision come true. Some clients want me to lead Christmas carols. Some want me to read "The Night Before Christmas". Others want Santa to organize the cookie-decorating or ornament-making craft table. Of course, some groups simply want their children to get a moment on Santa's knee for a photo-op.
I have even been "caught" delivering Christmas gifts on Christmas Eve...
... or returning for one last visit early Christmas morning.
Whatever you want, I'm here to make your Christmas gathering magical!
I am a professionally trained, real-bearded Santa. I have been portraying the Christmas Icon at both private parties and corporate events for nearly a decade. I'm available for photo shoots, Q&A's with Santa, or as the honored guest at Christmas parties. I especially love chatting with the children and answering all those questions they have about Santa, my reindeer, the North Pole, Mrs. Claus, the elves... I could go on!
I require very litte, but ice water with a straw is always greatly appreciated. If I am to be at your location for more than an hour, I appreciate private access to a bathroom, if necessary, with an escort and "guard" at the door.
