Uptown Santa is the BEST! I hired him for our holiday fundraiser and he was absolutely perfect! Both children and parents loved him and so many people wanted to take their photo with the ‘real Santa’! I can’t thank him enough for helping to make our event this year the most memorable one yet!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$400 includes my travel time in Nyc and the first hour of Santa! Additional hours are less! I have lots of weekday and morning availability
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
In order to secure your booking I will need a 50% nonrefundable deposit and the balance is due at the end of the gig
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As a kid I loved my visit to Santa ! Its my goal to provide a magical experience for everyone I encounter in my red suit. When I’m not wearing my red suit, I am an art teacher for kindergartners. I like kids and kids like me so I’m a natural Santa with a big beautiful natural beard.
