Save musicians, entertainers, speakers, and services, and they’ll appear here.
Most of my bookings are with photographers a year in advance. This leaves very few available dates to fill each season. In 2024 all my Saturdays and Sundays are booked for November and December until 2pm.
Please check the calendar before booking as I am trying to keep it up to date. Santa
Rick is not available for private home parties.
Santa Rick has a real beard, real boots, real belt and is great with children.
As a retired police officer safety should be a top priority when choosing a Santa and Santa Rick will gladly provide you with an up to date background check.
Merry Christmas!!
We hired Santa Rick to visit to our December wedding reception and he was wonderful. He was fun and our guests had a great time meeting him and taking pictures. He was professional and reliable, and we couldn't have asked for a better Santa. I would highly recommend him!
He did a good job. Yes i would use him again for another Christmas party
I cannot say enough good things about Santa Rick. He kept in full communication before the event and made sure everything was magical for the kids. I highly recommend him.
We had the best experiemce with Santa Rick. He was patient with the smaller kids, circulated the party and engaged in conversation with every guest. Will definitely be inviting him back!
Santa Rick was a great find. He helped us with a special project regarding several children with special needs. Rick was easy to get in touch with and communicate with, he was flexible and accomodating, on time & responsible, respectful, & kind. He has our highest recommendation!

Great with children! Very detailed and authentic costume!
I was in need of a Santa for our Black Friday Event at my store (Summer Classics). I found Santa Rich on digsalad.com. We talked a couple of times and he came to meet with me. I was very impressed at his professionalism and how much he really looked like Santa Claus. I hired him on the spot and would do so again. I will highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a Santa.
Santa Rick was on time and great with the children.
The perfect Santa.

Rick has a real beard and a first class custom suit.
He will be early and professional.
Rick is a non-smoker and non-drinker.
Santa Rick is not available for private home parties.
Christmas is a special time for children, we all remember those days of anticipation on our winter break from school waiting for the big day. I want to make Christmas fun for children and their families so if you look through my photos you will find fun pictures with Santa along with the traditional shots. I like to spend a little time with each child to hear what they have to say, I think it makes all the difference in just getting a Santa picture versus really meeting Santa.
Rick Meadows is a retired Chesterfield County Police officer. His career seemed to steer itself to the service and protection of children. Rick spent 5 years as a DARE officer then 3 years as a high school resource officer. Rick was then promoted to the child exploitation unit working with physically and sexually abused children. Rick was trained as a computer forensic examiner working internet child exploitation cases. Rick retired from Chesterfield Police in 2008.
Rick began taking pictures as Santa with his grandchildren which led to more appearances for friends and family. Several years ago Rick decided to make more appearances as Santa because he saw a need for a safe, trustworthy Santa. His natural ability with kids and gentle nature has made him a successful Santa.
Santa Rick books 90% of his gigs a year in advance or more. Please check the calendar to determine if the date and time you need is available.
Sana Rick will need a coordinator to manage any lines that may form to visit Santa.
