Santa In Person
A ‘Real Bearded” Santa is a gentleman who possesses a real beard. He is not wearing a man-made designer beard of synthetic, animal, or human hair.
Due to the many concerns in our society today, and for the safety and peace of mind of clients, Santa (Kole Snodgrass) is happy to provide clients with a current copy of the certificate of criminal background check.
Due to the nature of our traditional outfits, it is necessary that Santa have periodic breaks and that their performance location be cool and comfortable, we recommend 68 degrees. If outdoors or in a warm environment, appropriate breaks may be necessary as per health and safety needs. It is assumed that all events will be indoors, or that arrangements have been made if the event is held outdoors and weather becomes an issue, and therefore cancellations due to inclement weather are not accepted.
Santa understands that every party is unique and special to the needs of the client, family and guests. Santa is booked at many events throughout the season and often two to five consecutive events per day, especially on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Often it is difficult to make changes after the initial booking is made, as Santa, like a doctor, has filled in all of his appointments. Because of this, special requests or changes made after confirmation, are at the client’s cost, and must be made in advance.
