Description
Yes, I can be "Your Santa" for any event you may have, holiday parties, corporate functions, advertising, tree lightings, parade, christmas story reading, etc. I have my own plush red Santa suit (NO padding needed), as well as a couple of different Santa variations, Summer Santa and Toy Workshop Santa. I have been a practicing Santa of varying degrees for a long time, commercially since 2007. I attended the International University of Santa Claus, aka: School4Santas ("Behind the Red Suit - The Business of Being Santa"). A certificate of insurance & background check will be provided upon request.
I am proud to say I am a member of "The Red Suit Society" and "FORBS" - Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas. Both organizations promote the positive image of Santa in fostering the spirit of Christmas and the love of children first and foremost. I, as Santa am Santa 24/7 in season, 365 days of the year in Santa regalia or whenever a believer perceives me to be Santa Claus. As a Real Bearded Santa I have the honor of sharing the Santa experience with adults and of course the children all year long. I always have a great time just doing even little things where people can see me. As what one woman said to me while at Wal-mart,
"Do people just naturally smile when they see you?" I replied,
"Why yes they do; isn't it wonderful?"

Feedback
- We just had Santa for our son's first birthday party and when I went outside to meet him I was so excited I felt like a kid again! He is genuinely happy to bring the Christmas spirit to everyone around him and he was a big hit at our party. Thank you so much Santa for making our son's birthday party such a huge success! I would definitely recommend him to anyone! -- Marie A, Belle Harbor, NY, 11/27/2011
- We LOVED Santa Chester! Looking forward to seeing him every year! -- Kathleen W, Westfield, NJ, 11/26/2011
- Our Santa was a joy to work with. He was very accommodating and went above and beyond to help us get what we needed. He brought a little Christmas to us the middle of summer. -- Mina P, Astoria, NY, 6/30/2011
- This performer was the absolute best santa ever...almost every santa visitor thought he was the best they had ever seen. His name was Chester.... -- Sherry R, Belmar, NJ, 12/2/2011
- If you are looking for the true Santa look and the hardest worker around book Santa Chester.
This Santa looks amazing. We run a studio portrait business and many of the children who had appointments actually proclaimed 'Oh, it's the real Santa'.
Santa Chester is professional and accommodating. He clocked almost 8 hours with one short break (and we do not recommend doing this to him but we had so many kids we got backed up and he didn't budge from the Santa chair). He was a total trooper and helped our business have a hugely successful experience.
-- Kimberly B, New York, NY, 12/4/2011
- This was a high end party for adults ranging in age from 28 to 80. Santa was beyond perfect. He was beautiful and had the perfect personality, just the right amount of humor. All Fives do not score high enough for Santa Chester.
I would definately use him again. -- Janet M, Shamong, NJ, 12/3/2011
- Santa was everything that we could wish for-
Talented and an absolute pleasure to work with and we couldn't imagine
a more authentic Santa!
A wonderful experience- -- Patricia W, Manhattan, NY, 12/8/2011
- Everyone at our event loved Santa! We definitely will invite him back next year! Perfect! -- Karen W, Basking Ridge, NJ, 12/10/2011
- What can i say, from the moment he walked through my door into my house we all believed their is a Santa. He was amazing. And the look on all the kids faces while he read them a Christmas story and handed out gifts was worth every penny. I would recommend him to everyone.Thank you santa! -- Manuel M, Old Bridge, NJ, 12/25/2011
- Santa Chester was perfect. Everything we could have ever asked for. He was great with the kids and did a fantastic job!!
Thanks so much. -- Paul R, Lincroft, NJ, 1/7/2012
- Santa Chester was the REAL DEAL! One woman in our party said that when she saw him she almost cried - she thought she was a kid again. I have never seen such a perfect Santa in all my life. If you told me that Santa is real after all, I'd believe it. I know, because he came to my party last night.
Thanks, Santa Chester!!

- Santa Chester was excellent! We used him to hand out favors at our wedding and we couldn't have asked for anything better. He went above and beyond what we had expected. Very personable and LOOKS great! He had a great Santa chair and wore a stubnning "old world" santa suit! Our guests are still talking about how wonderful he was (I think the adults liked it more than the childen)! I think it's impossible to meet Santa Chester without feeling the true spirit of Christmas afterwards.
-- Kristen I, Philadelphia, PA, 12/11/2010
- Santa was exceptional! He left a lasting impression on the children and adults at my party - exuding true joy and the spirit of Christmas, and the importance of family and friends. Prior to the event, he had great communication with me over the phone, accomodated all of my requests, arrived a few minutes early even after a snow storm covered us with over 12" of snow, and was just a hit - funny, engaging! As far as looks... impeccable. You won't find a better looking Santa, gorgeous suit, real beard - and a truly joyful soul that really shines. He was perfect and we were very, very happy he joined us. We want him part of our tradition every year. -- Jo P, Staten Island, NY, 12/20/2009
- Santa was very professional and was an excellent addition to our party. The kids loved him! Highly recommend. -- Louise T, Flanders, NJ, 12/6/2009
- He was perfectly on time and kept in contact with me before his arrivial. He looked awesome and was a perfect fit for Santa. The kids all loved him and the adults too:))) We look foward to next year already! -- Amy B, Parsippany, NJ, 12/6/2009
- absolutely fantastic experience! All were thrilled with Santa's visit...he was wonderful with the children and made the whole room light up. It made Christmas special for a lot of people! I HIGHLY recommend Chester, he is a great Santa... -- Michelle A, Howell, NJ, 12/5/2009
