The warmth of Christmas. The wonder of Santa.
A personal visit from Santa. A favourite Christmas story. A family photo you'll bring out year after year.
Real-bearded Santa home visits and holiday appearances in Cumberland County and nearby South Jersey communities. Visits available in English or Spanish.
Bring Santa into your family's Christmas celebration. Share wishes, enjoy a short story or singalong, and make time for photos with the people you love. A little advance planning lets Santa greet children by name and share in their interests.
A 30-minute visit starts at $150, or $125 on weekday daytimes. Larger family gatherings can book more time.
Give employees and their families a warm welcome from Santa. From mingling with guests to sitting for family photos, we'll plan an appearance that fits your celebration. A story, singalong or handing out host-supplied gifts can be arranged beforehand.
Choose 30, 60 or 90 minutes, depending on your guest count and plans.
Planning a gathering for a local organisation, rescue squad or nonprofit? Tell me about your event. A limited number of community-rate appearances are available, with preference for weekday and daytime visits.
Your appearance includes greetings, Christmas wishes and photo opportunities. A short story or singalong can be arranged to suit the visit. You or your guests take the photos; professional photography is not included. Gifts, if wanted, are supplied by the host.
Weekday daytime rate: $125 for the first 30 minutes, Monday to Friday before 4 p.m. Each additional 30 minutes is $75 when agreed in advance and available. We'll discuss the number of children and families before confirming the right visit length.
Travel is included for locations within a 45-minute drive each way of my home in Lawrence Township, Cumberland County. Locations further away are considered individually.
Travel time is confirmed using your event address. Limited community rates are available on inquiry. Christmas Eve appearances are not included in these standard packages.
I'm Bill, and my Santa story began at the local school where I substitute teach. An invitation to sing with the students at their holiday concert grew into something I look forward to each Christmas season.
Four years later, I bring a real beard, a love of Christmas stories and music, and a welcoming approach to every appearance. My background in singing and theatre helps me feel at home with an audience, while working with children has taught me to let each child find their own comfort level.
Some children are ready with a long wish list. Others need a little time beside their grown-up. Both are welcome.
