Charles W. Howard, 1937
My name is Joseph Cunningham a retired pastor who's had a dream of serving as a professional Santa since a little boy when the magic of Santa left its impression. A graduate of the C W Howard Santa School, I've completed a full and productive year of offering joy filled memories and the jolly presence of Santa to many families, businesses, churches and schools.
As a graduate of C W Howard Santa School, the most prestigious school for forming professional Santas, I am connected to a network of seasoned Santas and am equipped to answer the most challenging questions a child might ask. I am a master storyteller with delightful props to entertain and provide Christmas magic and memorable fun!
There is no greater joy than to see the eyes of a child or any person as they encounter the presence of Santa! It doesn't matter what season or time of the year, when Santa is present, there is joy, laughter, awe and opportunity for memories never to be forgotten. I hope to bring that to your event, party, gathering, home visit, or whatever you may be in need of. You can count on professionalism, attention to detail, and the communicated desire and needs for the event, with an additional surprise or two! I don't ever want to disappoint.
When hiring a professional Santa, there are a number of factors that determine the suggested rate. Factors include, duration of the event, location, various elements of the appearance that are desired, and any other additional services. The following are offered as you budget and plan your event or appearance. I am always willing to work with you, with the commitment to provide a memorable magical experience. This Santa is happy to serve charities, hospitals and hospice situations free of any charge.
Base Visit + 20-40 minutes - $100
Additional time can be negotiated. Usually $50 for each additional 30 minutes.
"Sneak a Peak" is a unique visit by Santa on Christmas Eve after the children have gone to bed and are dreaming of the morning to come! Parents put presents from Santa on the counter or table and Santa arrives at the agreed time and places the gifts in his sack. Cookies and milk are in place and any reindeer food for the beloved flying crew. When all is set, parents wake up the children to tell them that "Santa is here! Wake up and see!" Together, all quietly "sneak a peak" as the jolly old fellow does his work placing presents, filling stockings and eating cookies and drinking milk. Santa then departs as the children look with awe! Will they go back to sleep after that? Who knows! But they will never forget what they just saw!
For this unique visit on Christmas Eve, the rate is $200 for a 20 to 30 minute visit. To make this very special requires advanced planning and communication.
2-hour Required Minimum + $200
Additional time an be negotiated. Usually $75 for each additional hour.
