Santa For Events — 8 appearance scenarios

Santa For Events serves a broad range of quality Santa appearances. In clarifying answers to the Bay City News reporter, Allecia Vermillion, it is clear that there are at least 8 different Santa appearance scenarios (with differing mix on how much group entertainment versus private conversations versus photo shoot):

Santa teams with companion Elves for a quality experience

1. intimate family setting, 1 to 6 children, 20 to 30 minutes;
2. home party with 12 to 25 children, 40 to 60 minutes;
3. small company Christmas party on their premises (employees and families with 12 to 30 children, and occasionally a party with just  adults.)
4. mid-sized company party with crafts, face painting, cookie decorating, storytelling, games, with Santa photos as a highlight.
5. intermediate company Christmas party (employees and families, up to 600 people with 200 children)
6. management company hosting Christmas party for their tenants, both offices and apartments
7. non-profit organization public appearance (e.g. History San Jose and Happy Hollow Park and Zoo – photo session of 2 hours, antique fire truck entrance, $100 honorarium)
8. retail space photo shoot for client who sells photo packages to the public

Within those 8, there is variety on what type and how much group entertainment is expected. That’s why the 5 different monologues! Some of the monologue lines are aimed at listening adults while being addressed to children. Sometimes, it is for everyone; other times Santa is entertaining adults.
