| Valued Client !! Have courage and keep reading - The real bearded santas are really the high end in every way and - they charge according to their worth.

| FAQ : Why is Santa so expensive? |
| In the case of the real beard santas - Gus and Tom are the cream of the crop - they work hard ALL year creating their character and their look. It takes non stop expense to maintain a pretty (sorry if that is an insult ! ;0) ) snowy white beard. It is a non stop expense maintaining the costume the supplies adding the props and replacing them and much more. Mrs Claus points out the following : We are very picky about who we work with as Santa Claus - and Tom and Gus are brilliant theatrical performers who make it a MISSION to make the kids believe in Santa. The personality , talent, and authentic beard and detailed costume with numerous props and planning have made US believe in Christmas. And yes, when you combine the authentic look with personality,love and talent,not to mention dependability - yep,that is worth some bucks and these gents know it-and so do their many many repeat clients. And we can assure you - they are worth the price. Keep in mind though - that the primary costumed beard santa we work with - James - does cost a little less as Santa but he is the most requested male character performer in Houston because of his talent and brilliant performance - and any performer that knows they are darn good is not going to be cheap - call for a consultation - you will receive a better price for the costume beard |
| FAQ - Are there less expensive options? |
| We can suggest several ways to save money 1. Flag our website and call us 713 266 6438. We believe in networking not charging big agency fees and commissions. We refer you directly to the performers and if our featured Santas are not available we have many more options and numbers 2. Book your event on an off hour - not prime time.Also maybe you only need Santa for 30 minutes instead of an hour. Maybe ask your Santa if you work around their schedule can you get a price break 3.Have a beloved uncle or dad be Santa. You can get costumes for very low rates. There are pros and cons about this - and Mrs Claus has heard it all from clients. On the positive side there are beloved uncles etc that make the holiday brilliant and save their family good bucks by a consistent wonderful Santa presentation. We have heard negative things also like the relative is well meaning but has no patience with kids,and in some cases they hurt their back or knee.I won't go into more. If there is any chance to pay for a professional experienced performer - it is worth it. 4. ALL of our Santas appear non stop all over the city at public events. If you do not have it in your budget at this time to pay for a professional Santa performance - call us and we can tell you free locations to go and interact with your favorite best Santas!! They want to see you and your kids - they really are Santa and prepare for you all year . MERRY CHRISTMAS From all of us !! |
| FAQ - Why is this a sellers market at this time? |
| That is a very smart question and the answer is interesting. There are factors out there which affect family entertainment and Santa Claus. Threats from abroad,the political situation, and fuel prices just to name a few factors result in families and communities wishing to have fun and entertainment close to home. Also - as the beloved clients - that is you- become more knowledgeable and discriminating - you are not willing to always have just any performer - you want the most loving and talented performers and the performers on this website are frequently booked years in advance. Many performers who know they are good and put time effort and $$$ into getting the best - they will charge a little more than someone just starting out.
