There is a lot that goes into a Santa Visit. I have attended over 3 Santa Schools, performed for 44 years and want to make your experience special. My rates are based on my extensive collection of custom made Santa suits, belts, bells, Prep time, travel time to and from your event, dry cleaning, mileage, etc. Home visits are $200.00 for the first 30 minutes and $50.00 for second 30 minutes. This is booked by appearance rate and NOT an hourly rate. My performance is based on the element of surprise, Santa visits and performs, delivers gifts, listens to each child’s wish list during a 25-40 minute visit. There will be plenty of time for stories, songs and pictures. Home visits are paid in cash in an envelope marked “my wish list for Santa” Hourly Rate is for “ Mall like Santa visits “ where I am sitting and receiving children with no performance. Rate is $200.00 for each hour up to 3 hours and $300.00 for every additional hour after 3 hours. I prefer Santa gigs less than 3 hours, hence the increase in the hourly rate. Hourly rate can be paid by corporate check only, no personal checks. PayPal or cash is acceptable. Invoices can be sent in advance with the check being presented at the time of the event. “Christmas Eve Rates” Each visit Christmas Eve is $200.00 and will be less than 40 minutes. Book Early!
