Perfectly styled whiskers, custom suits, and a real twinkle in his eye for every occasion. Whether it be for commercial photography; stage/screen/audio work; civic or church events; or the traditional family visit give Simply Saint Nick a try.
We had everyone visit for a family reunion! All week my wife had Christmas theme activities planned. Whenever anyone was being bad she said she would be telling Santa! Little did any of us know that she had Santa show up at our last night together Christmas party! Santa spoke with each person as if he knew them personally. His laugh and everything was just perfect! When he left we all said that must be the real Santa ... no helper. We will be having him visit again! It was a wonderful experience that all our guest will remember forever!
We had a Christmas pajama party, the kids didn’t know there would be a surprise arrival and when Santa arrived, the kids were enchanted. The kids asked so many questions and he answered them with such a warm embrace. We also asked if he could read “The night before Christmas “ and to our surprise Santa autographed our book. What a treat! Thank you again for such an incredible evening that is sure to keepsake in every single one of our children, we hope to have you again next year!
We have had him visit our house three times now and he is absolutely amazing!!
We always have a magical visit with Santa. My family loves adores him and Mrs. Claus.
Response from Simply Saint Nick:

Thank you so much!!! Your visit is always amazing!!!
Response from Simply Saint Nick:
Thank you Trish! We always enjoy our visit with you guys:) - Santa
We always have a wonderful experience with WV's Santa. You will not be disappointed and the adults will talk about him even more than the kids. He's pure magic!
Response from Simply Saint Nick:
Thank you Shannon! We so appreciate your kindness! - Santa
As always, we had a wonderful visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus. They are so nice and we just love them.
My children are teens, but this is the only Santa they have ever known and we believe because of him.
My youngest told me, if we turn out half as great as Santa John, it means we have Christmas in our heart.
We.love Santa John!
Response from Simply Saint Nick:
Awe. Thank you for that, Mindy. I sure appreciate it! - Santa John
Best Santa and Mrs. Claus - Kids who typically don't warm up to Santa sure do when West Virginia's Santa Claus makes a visit. Thank you for bringing some magic to our event!
Response from Simply Saint Nick:
Thank you so much for having us. We love the children of all ages and it shines through. It is an honor to serve you!
Santa John is by far the best Santa I've ever seen and came highly recommended to me. We had a lot of little ones who lit up when he walked in, but the adults were the ones who were really floored. People are still talking about our visit from Santa. I highly recommend Santa John!
Response from Simply Saint Nick:
Shannon, thank you for this review. It was my pleasure to serve you and your firm. If you would need my services for this year please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thanks,
Santa John
I have seen this genteman in action several times, nobody portrays the Jolly Ol' Elf better than John Johnson. I have hired him a few times, as well as accompanied him to a few corporate events and it was always a pleasure. Kids adore him, and Adults appreciate his character AAAA+++
For the last two years, The Charleston Mothers of Twins Club has hired Santa John Johnson for our annual family Christmas party. And I would highly recommend Santa John to anyone. Santa John is wonderful and prepared - he brought his own bench, which was a plus for us. At our parties, we have over 60 people with parents and children and have held it in the dining area of a local church, so it was nice not to worry about trying to find a chair for Santa to sit. Santa John would walk into the room greeting everyone and singing a couple of Christmas carols. One year, Santa John read a story to our children. We also have the children to write letters to Santa and we sneak the letters to him before he walked in the room. That way Santa can call each child up individually (or in our case each set of twins) and he read each letter aloud and then would talk to each child, asking them if they are good, and answering their questions about the reindeer, Mrs. Claus, etc. Finally, we had each parent to bring a wrapped, inexpensive gift for Santa to give to each child. Santa told the children to wait until everyone had their gift and they would open at the same time. All of us moms were amazed to watch 20+ kids sit there waiting patiently. Not one opened their present until Santa said it was time! The Christmas party has been our biggest and most successful event for the last two years and it is largely due to Santa John. He is the real deal - we even had a set of 8 year old twins believe that there is indeed a real Santa after meeting Santa John.

Please note that, when you book Simply Saint Nick, you are getting much more than a man with whiskers in a suit. You are getting a trained professional, in custom regalia, with years of experience in performing at events such as yours. What you will get is a magical experience you, nor your guests, won't soon forget. Each visit is custom and can be tailored to your needs. I take my role as Santa very seriously and look forward to bringing holiday magic to you.
Hop in the sleigh and take a ride with me, Santa John Johnson, a real-life Santa Claus who has been spreading good cheer over four decades. I can share my experiences, reveal historical and spiritual truths, and spread a message of faith, peace, and hope. God has a purpose or calling for each and every one of us, a way for us to bring praise and glory through service. I found my purpose early on in life and I have never regretted putting on Santa's red coat. I truly have the time of my life bringing smiles to children of all ages, even earning a spot in the International Santa Claus Hall of Fame. I am Simply, Saint Nick!
