Overview
I'm a real bearded Santa that regularly receives the reviews as "best Santa ever"! My personality is inviting and friendly. I have a career in education and I have excellent communication skills that are adaptable for all occasions. I have a true love for kids and I work well with special needs kids and adults.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Santa Wayne! When I booked him for a photoshoot, I didn’t realize my girls would be home from school, but that only made the experience even more magical. Santa Wayne was absolutely incredible with children—he made my daughters feel like they were in the presence of the real Santa! From his festive red truck to his “off-duty” Santa clothes and his warm, genuine laugh (complete with those subtle “belly shakes” and the perfect “ho, ho, ho”), he brought the holiday spirit right to our doorstep. My oldest was completely convinced he was truly THE Santa! Santa Wayne’s kindness, professionalism, and magical touch made this holiday experience one we’ll never forget. Highly recommend!

Response from Santa Wayne:
Your kind words are greatly appreciated! I enjoyed working with you and your girls on photo project! Have a great holiday season! Ho Ho Ho!
This is the 2nd year we have used Santa Wayne and he is absolutely amazing!
He interacts great with kids of all ages, he did photos with kids and families, had all the kids tell him what they wanted for Christmas and read the kids a story.
I would definitely recommend Santa Wayne to anyone looking to hire a Santa.
I will be using him again next year!
This is the second year in a row I have used Santa Wayne for my photo event and I couldn't be happier! I have one more date coming up and I'm so excited!
He looks the part so perfectly, he interacts so well with all of the kids. They absolutely love meeting Santa!!!
Santa Wayne was so so kind and easy to work with!!! I am so happy I found him. It won’t be the last time I hire him for an event, my friends will too! Thank you for making my son’s 4th, Christmas in the summer, birthday perfect!!! If you are on the fence- call him and hire him!
Santa Wayne was really great with our children, staff and parents. He was patient with our infants and won over 2 of our children that were reserved at first. He held conversations with the children and staff. Santa Wayne answered many questions regarding his home, Mrs. Claus, the grinch and the elves. His personality and attitude with the children were remarkable.
I would definitely recommend him for your holiday event!

When he walked in the door I could have cried because I thought “wow it’s really Santa!”. He was everything you could dream of in a Santa. So great with the kids, the crying baby, the overly excited toddlers. The perfect laugh, rosy cheeks, and so jolly. Worth every penny.

Thank you for the kind words. I enjoyed it as much as you did!
Santa Wayne was simply put...amazing!! I had a full morning of Santa Experience Sessions with families and kids of all ages and Santa Wayne was amazing with each and everyone! He had parents laughing, cracked jokes with the teens, and he was so patient and kind with all of the littles!
All of the kids were just enamored!
An added little bonus: Santa told me he uses cookie scented beard oil. And one of the little boys told his mom. "I know that's the real Santa because he smells just like cookies!"
Will for sure be hiring Santa Wayne again next season!
I can't say enough wonderful things about Santa Wayne! He was responsive, professional, kind and overall the most amazing Santa!!!!! Thank you for coming to our event and we look forward to working with you again!! Ho! Ho! Ho!

We are a swim program for young children, so an interactive Santa who isn't scared to dive right in was important for our holiday event. Santa Wayne was absolutely marvelous! He interacted with the children in the lobby, on the (hot!) pool deck, our staff, the parents...everybody! He did his best to make sure every child felt comfortable and was very present with each interaction he had. He didn't shy away from the kids who were still a bit wet from the pool and was immensely flexible when we ran into a little hiccup with Santa's initial entry into the building. Our families LOVED our visit from Santa Wayne and we hope he's able to fly by again next year!

Santa Wayne was an amazing addition to our business event! He was a little late due to the first snowfall and traffic, but as soon as he stepped out, he gave an amazing performance and was so nice to stay some extra time afterwards as well. He was very professional and engaging with our guests, and I know he made our event very memorable for everybody, highly recommend Santa Wayne :)

We hosted a holiday event and had Santa Wayne come in to take pictures with the attendees, but Santa did way more than we expected. He brought the magic with everything! The laugh, the smile, Santa Wayne is the best.

Santa Wayne was amazing! He interacted so well with all the kids (and adults too!) at our family's holiday party. In preparing for our event, he was very professional and very reliable. If you are looking for a Santa for a holiday gathering, Santa Wayne will not dissapoint!

My family, friends, and I had an incredible Santa experience all thanks to Wayne! We booked Santa and a photographer to take Christmas photos this past fall and they turned out absolutely perfect! There were 8 families and all of the parents were raving about how amazing the Santa was! The children all lit up when they met Santa because he was so friendly! He took his time with each child and made everyone feel special! It was so fun to watch the Christmas magic through their eyes! It was my son’s first Christmas and we are so happy to have such amazing memories of his first time meeting Santa Claus! We will definitely be booking Wayne again next holiday season! Thank you so much, Santa!

This was the best Santa we have ever encountered! He was realistic, had a calm and warm demeanor, and was great with the kids…even a 6 year old who was very skeptical of having his picture taken with Santa. Would highly recommend using!!

Santa Wayne came to my husbands 30th birthday party which was Christmas in July themed. He was awesome! My guests are still talking about how much fun they had seeing Santa. He delivered presents, sang happy birthday, and took tons of pictures. Thank you, Santa Wayne!
