Services and Rates

While I’d prefer to be your Santa with a good old fashioned handshake…

…it is always best for the client to have an understanding of what to expect when seeking Santa Jeffy’s services.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

• For private home events, corporate events and/or special events, a 1 hour minimum fee will apply.

• A 50% deposit of the “Live Appearance” quote is required to get your event on Santa Jeffy’s calendar.

• Santa Jeffy will arrive at your provided event location address within a +/- 30 minute window of scheduled time to allow for traffic delays or other unforeseeable circumstances.*

  • *For special events, you may not want the audience to see Santa Jeffy prior to announcing “Santa has arrived”. If this is the case, we can discuss your desired arrival time or ‘hiding place’ as to not spoil the surprise.

• Parking of Santa Jeffy’s Sleigh…

  • Please have parking available within a reasonable distance of your event. You do not want a soggy Santa walking in the door.

    • The client is responsible for providing a sturdy, safe, comfortable chair or bench (think…photos with Santa).

    • Due to the tailoring of Santa Jeffy’s holiday outfit, it is necessary that he has periodic breaks of 5 to 10 minutes per hour to cool off.

    • Ideally, the indoor performance location be cool and comfortable. (I recommend 65° - 75°.) It’s always appropriate to offer a cool beverage.

  • Outdoor Events:

    • If event is held outdoors, it is assumed that all arrangements for Santa Jeffy have been completed by the client.

• Special requests are welcomed. However, depending on what you want Santa Jeffy to do may involve additional fees. Additionally, there may be some things I simply cannot do (e.g. parachute into the parade). If you have something special, let’s discuss.
