I love working with children as well as adults. Every event I attend a special and one of a kind and I treat it as such enjoy working with people and putting smiles on their faces. Also love the elderly they are very special and dear to my heart. I find it a joy and a privilege to represent such a historical figure. We will always treat it with respect and dignity that it deserves.
Santa was remarkable. He assisted me with distributing over 200 gifts and taking photos with everyone. His outfit was a great hit. Thanks again and I hope to work with you again in the future.
Response from Chesapeake Santa Claus:

Santa was wonderful with my clients & took genuine care with each interaction he had with them.
Response from Chesapeake Santa Claus:
Thank you so much we really enjoyed ourselves. And the place was wonderful to work at and you are so friendly and caring and a wonderful photographer thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your world. I look forward to hearing from you In the future for next year thank you very much again for a wonderful experience
Chesapeake Santa Claus was awesome for our school’s Santa Breakfast! He looks great, is very photogenic & interacts with the children! ❤️🎅🏻
Awesome
Our family Santa couldn't make a home visit this year and Chesapeake Santa Claus stepped right in. He prepared for all the children ahead of time, recognized them by name and was amazing at interacting with each child. With the older kids he had an unmatched wit which made the visit fun and engaging for their ages.
Santa was great and the kids were so excited! Santa helped celebrate a big moment for the kiddos and it could not have been better.
Response from Chesapeake Santa Claus:
Thank you so much for your review it was a special time for both of us to take part in your event and the feeling never gets old when I see kids get so excited to see us there thank you so much for trusting in us to make your event special
Definitely see him again next year!
10/10 recommend his service as a Santa! I am a photographer who ran a series of mini sessions and I had my clients raving about their experience with Santa and are already asking if he will be back next year. Super easy to work with, was great at staying in communication and very flexible with his schedule.
KNOWS HOW TO PLAY THE PART, THE KIDS LOVED HIM. VERY NICE GENTLEMAN
Santa and Mrs. Claus were wonderful. Our staff loved them and Santa was willing to do whatever we asked from giving out candy to taking multiple selfies with our employees.
I would recommend him over and over.
So glad I found your website and Santa.
Thank you.
Santa was great from the beginning! Great communication prior to the event and great with the kids! He was the hit of the party. Thank you!!
This is the second time we have used this Santa. He does not disappoint. He was very accommodating to the little ones, and not so little ones, who wanted to take pictures. He mixed and mingled with all our guests. He even danced with us! Thanks Chesapeake Santa Claus (and Mrs. Claus) for making our Christmas party grand.
Response from Chesapeake Santa Claus:
Thank you so much for inviting us to your wonderful party look forward to seeing you again next year Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Living out of state, I thought trying to arrange a visit from Santa with gifts and magic for a family there would be problematic, however the Chesapeake Santa was helpful and reassuring allowing everything to flow smoothly for a wonderful surprise evening. He took away all my questions & concerns regarding the visit and went out of his way to work the logistics. He kept in close touch with me as the event neared and contacted me afterwards for a briefing. I couldn't have been more satisfied.
Santa did a fantastic job getting the residents involved, and was very cheerful, as Santa should be. I would recommend.
Called week before the event to confirm time and location, texted the day of to let me know how excited he was to work the event, showed up on time, looked amazing, kids loved him, and when the event got slower he walked around and interacted with the kids. Made the evening magical. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area who needs an outstanding Santa.
Santa went above and beyond to make our entire group feel very special on our amazing event on our own polar express! The kids and parents loved him and Mrs Claus. Made our entire Christmas!
Response from Chesapeake Santa Claus:
We both really enjoyed ourselves with your family and friends my heart was really blessed and touched You both are truly outstanding parents and the love you show to your children by doing this speaks volumes May God-bless you both and have a very merry New Year. Out for to doing something just as great next year with another little one added through the bunch thank you so much We really felt special and loved. May God-bless you both and upcoming year
Santa made every kid here a believer (even the doubters ;). This is the second year we had him and Mrs come to our kids Christmas party and he was a HUGE hit. My kids are still talking about him and how amazing it was that he came to our house :)
Response from Chesapeake Santa Claus:
Mrs Claus and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we thank you for inviting us again to your lovely home and look for to seeing you again next year may God-bless each and every one of you and have a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Beyond expectations without a doubt!
Response from Chesapeake Santa Claus:
Thank you so much for a wonderful experience Mrs Claus and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously I hope to see you again next year.
Professional and friendly, we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Santa and Mrs. Claus did a wonderful job at our small neighborhood get-together! We will definitely keep this tradition going next year.
Response from Chesapeake Santa Claus:

Exceeded our expectations! Santa and the Mrs. are absolutely wonderful and they made our Christmas eve so special. They knew exactly what to do and what to say and were well prepared for the event. Our special needs son fell in love and our four-year-old who was very, very shy and skeptical at first was hugging them both at the end of the event. It truly was a great time and I can't thank them enough!
Response from Chesapeake Santa Claus:
We truly enjoyed visiting you and your family thank you so much it was wonderful experience that I would not ever forget
Excellent Santa! Worked well with the kids and the grownups. Had a great time!
Response from Chesapeake Santa Claus:
Thank you so much for the great review. All three of us really enjoyed being there and celebrating Christmas everyone. In my eight years A-frame this role celebrating Christmas what's the Nigerian people was the best I've ever done. I truly hope we get invited back next year thank you so much for all the love fun we experienced a very merry Christmas Happy New Year God bless
Fabulous attitude, looked the part, on time, affordable, friendly. Could not recommend any higher.
Santa and his elves are fabulous! I would highly recommend:)
Great Santa! Great communication and wonderful with the children. Thank you!
Response from Chesapeake Santa Claus:
