Questions from clients and performers.
Ohio Santas connects people while keeping every performer independent. These answers explain what that means in practice.
For clients
Can I submit an event and contact performers directly?
Yes. Submit your event to share it with Ohio Santas members so interested performers can contact you. You can also browse the directory and reach out directly. Both approaches are welcome and give you more ways to find your Claus. Availability is not guaranteed.
Does Ohio Santas book performers for me?
No. Ohio Santas helps you discover or reach independent performers. You contact, select, and contract with the performer directly.
How much does a visit cost?
Each performer establishes their own services and rates. Cost can vary with seasonal demand, including Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, as well as travel, duration, guest count, services, and experience. Ohio Santas does not set rates, collect commissions, or become a party to your agreement. Ask the performer about total pricing, retainers, and what is included before confirming.
Are performers available statewide?
Members serve communities throughout Ohio. Availability and travel areas vary by performer and date.
Can I request a Santa and Mrs. Claus together?
Yes. Browse profiles for collaborators or describe the combination you need when submitting your event.
