Santa John was amazing. He was so great with the children, was patient with all the photos, read to the kids, helped them decorate cookies & played a game with them. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you for a memorable evening!
Response from The Santa Claus Experience:
Thank you so much. I had a great time too. Looking forward to
Next year!
We were absolutely thrilled with our experience. He was great with the kids and adults. Communication was great and I will highly recommend him to all. Thank you!
He did a fantastic job! We will definitely be booking again next year!
Response from The Santa Claus Experience:
Thank you for the nice review. Contact me for next year as soon as you know your date. I’m already taking some early bookings!

Santa John
Santa John was amazing. He attended our church's Breakfast with Santa of 250+ guests (125 Children). He was so attentive and patient with the children and the parents. Santa marched in the parade through the hall and spent so much time listening and talking with the children. Plenty of time for pictures and taking children's wish lists. He was so sweet with each of them. In addition to the actual event - Santa John had great communication prior to the event and was prompt and east to work with on each and every detail. If I had my exact date for next year, I would book him now for 2024!!!
Response from The Santa Claus Experience:
Thank you so much for those kind words!
Merry Christmas,
Santa John
The Santa Claus Experience was a major success. We had Santa come to our candy store for free photos with customers. Santa did an excellent job communicating in advance to ensure the day of the event went smooth. He made everyone feel welcome and ensured every kid (and adult!) had a wonderful time and experience. Couldn't recommend this higher.
Response from The Santa Claus Experience:
Thank you so much! Let’s do it again!

John is an amazing Santa! He was very good with the kids... even the rowdy ones. He showed up ahead of schedule and had clear communication. I liked that he also got up when we were not doing photos and went and interacted with the families at our event.
Response from The Santa Claus Experience:
Thank you so much for hiring me for your event. I’m so happy you were pleased with my performance.
Let’s do it again!
Merry Christmas

communication was prompt, costume and demeanor were on point, and we all had a lovely time. would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to add some holiday cheer to any occasion. 12/10!
Response from The Santa Claus Experience:
Thank you! Wonderful group!
He was outgoing, lovable & funny! His presence truly captivated the room and the kids’ minds were blown! The adults were shocked as well and we felt like we were living our own childhood memories all over again! He was also RIGHT ON TIME with his “unexpected” visit before going back to the North Pole😉
Response from The Santa Claus Experience:
Thank you so much for the wonderful review and your generous send off as Santa was leaving. You have a wonderful family. Contact me anytime you’d like Santa to stop by!
Merry Christmas!

Mrs. Claus started the evening with a little magic and fun with the children. She then brought out some bell for the kids to ring and low and behold Santa came through the door bearing gifts. The little ones were excited when their name was called to come up and see him. Santa and Mrs. were great in answering all of their question about the north pole the reindeer and anything else that came to their little minds. There was about 30 children at the event along with parents and friends and I received nothing but compliments. I highly recommend the both of them.
Response from The Santa Claus Experience:
Thank you so much for the kind words. Mrs. Claus and I had a wonderful time with the children. Let’s do it again next year!

Murder Mystery
My Acting partner and I have been performing inter active murder mystery shows for 25 years as a team. We bring an interactive experience, meaning some of the guests get to be in the show. Between us we have written 20 different shows we can offer for most any event. They are usually done during the course of a dinner or lunch setting. We perform between the courses of the meal. We work with the wait staff to coordinate how the event goes. We know how to do this to make it a fun experience for all.
We have performed regionally in Missouri and Illinois, and also took our show on the Road to New York City, Jamestown New York, Kansas, Kentucky, Arkansas, and the State of Washington. We would be happy to bring a show to you!
Professional Character Actor/Comedy Murder Mystery writer/performer. Am adept at accents and portraying believable characters. Good comic improv skills. I know how to read a crowd. Always maintain a family friendly performance.
Professional Santa Claus. I am available for corporate events or private parties. I also perform on the Polar Express in St. Louis.
I would be excited to bring the right type of entertainment needed to your event!
