Thanks for your help and THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE
We hired Max for our toddlers’ Christmas party, and he was absolutely amazing! His costume was incredibly authentic, with every detail on point—from the luxurious red suit to the perfectly crafted white beard and his jingle bell boot! The kids were in awe, and he made the entire event feel magical and festive. He interacted wonderfully with all the children, creating unforgettable memories. If you’re looking for a truly authentic Santa experience, this is the one to book!

Taylor
Thank you for your kind words. Your family is awesome and the children were great..thanks for having me in your home..have a very merry Christmas
This was my first time doing Santa sessions in a studio and Max blew me away with how easy he made it all! He was able to take the reins, guide the children through the experience all while make sure he was looking jolly! Incredible! Every portrait was perfect and I cant thank him enough for that. He brought props with him that were very photo friendly and was always arriving early. Wonderful!
On the business side, his pricing was very reasonable and he was very responsive via text. He was able to find a Mrs Clause for our shoot and they worked together so nicely.
I can't wait to book him for my 2025 sessions!!!
He was absolutely amazing, the kids loved him and so did the parents. Took pictures, read stories and performed magic. I would hire him again and would highly recommend.
Santa was great!! The children loved him and so did we. Can't wait until next year to invite him back.
We wish we could give this more stars! By far the very best Santa we've ever had. So patient, professional, and engaging with everyone - big and little. He was as close to authentic as you could get— everything you would want in Santa, and more. We cannot recommend him enough and look forward to having him back for future events!
We have hosted a Santa party many times through the years at our business and In The Nick of Time was by far the most genuine and authentic feeling Santa we have ever hired.
He playfully interacted with both the children and adults in a way that left them all walking away (and up to me) saying it was the best Santa experience they’ve ever had.
Response from In the Nick Of Time Santa Services:
Thanks James..you hosted a great holiday party that put the spirit of Christmas ahead of everything..your employees and clients are very lucky to be associated with you and your team.have the best holiday ever..
I can not say enough wonderful things about this Santa. He was prompt, in character right away when kiddos ran up to him and just made the whole day so enjoyable. We got so many amazing pictures with so many families. Funny, soft spoken, and just the real deal. You will NOT be disappointed when he arrives to your event. I can't wait to work with him for future events.
Simply the best. Authentic, great communication, kids loved him.
Response from In the Nick Of Time Santa Services:

Santa was amazing and the kids loved him. I loved how he included them in his reading and magic. Best Santa I have ever had. I hoped to have him back every year!!!1

Santa was authentic, enthusiastic, and friendly. Everyone had a great time. We will definitely call on him again.
Response from In the Nick Of Time Santa Services:
Thanks Mike..it was my pleasure to meet your family..what a wonderful tradition you have and I was honored to be part of it…and to continue to be part of it.,a very healthy happy holiday to all
Our clients were amazed. Santa had the kids full and complete attention with his stories and magic. His pictures were wonderful; clients kept insisting we must have used a filter - or some Christmas magic - to have the pictures turn out so well.
Response from In the Nick Of Time Santa Services:
Thank you Brandi..you’re event was well set up and amazing..it was so much fun interacting with all the families…can’t wait to see everybody again
From the moment of our confirmed booking I received a call almost immediately to go over all of the event details. This was really nice to see since I own a dance studio and we wanted a great experience for our kiddos. We got that and so much more! He was on time, he had a high quality suit and did I mention he came in a red tutu for a dance class! ALL HIS IDEA. I really appreciated how attentive he was to EVERY child. He was so happy, cheerful and fun. The kids had a blast and loved spending time with Santa. The parents shared wonderful feedback as well about how thrilled they were with the entire experience. This wasn’t just a gig to him and it showed. You can tell he loves what he does. He really took his time talking to children, danced and took tons of pictures. My son was scared of other Santas we’ve visited in the past but not the case with him. My son actually smiled and played peekaboo with Santa and gave him high fives. This was only because he took his time didn’t rush in or just take a picture. He spent time with him, made him feel comfortable and slowly I could see my son warm up! The smiles on the kids faces haven’t left including mine! Thank you again Santa for making this a wonderful experience you exceeded my expectations.. we will definitely be having him for our events next year!
Response from In the Nick Of Time Santa Services:
Lauren..your review brought tears to my eyes…but you are correct…I love bringing joy happiness and a renewal of the season and family..you operate a grade A dance studio and it shows by how much you love your students and how much you are adored by them and their parents. You are truly one of Santas helpers..wishing you and everyone else the happiest and healthiest of holidays
Our customers loved him so much that we have extended both of our events. He was excellent with all of the children, even the ones that were a little hesitant at first. Highly recommend!
Response from In the Nick Of Time Santa Services:
Thank you Lenae. you put on an amazing and well organized event that brought the Christmas spirit to every family..I also highly recommend your business..the imaginarium play area in Prince Frederick. The next best place other than the North Pole..
Santa communicated well prior to the event, was understanding of changes on our end of the event, and was very flexible on the day of the event by willing to wait in the car until we went to get him. Amazing! Santa brought props to entertain the kids and was able to get nervous kids to participate. He walked around and took pohotos with any and everyone. Displayed a joyous spirit!
I hired "In the nick of time Santa Services" for a photography mini session event and I'm overwhelmed with joy with how everything turned out. He showed up to the event early with a BEAUTIFUL and quality Santa outfit. He brought numerous props. Which, to say props would be an understatement, they were perfect! He was so prepared with items that he knew would evoke magical reactions from the children and they did! The children were filled with magic and joy when they sat with him. He was VERY professional, extremely kind and patient with the children and so much fun to work with!!! I HIGHLY recommend In the Nick of Time Santa Services to anyone who is in need of a Santa. You will not be disappointed!!!
I CANNOT wait for next year to work with him again. I will be sure to book early so I don't miss the opportunity to work with him!!!! I have attached a few of the photos that I captured during our time with him. You can see from the photos that he was authentic, magical, fun and perfect for the job!!!
Thanks again, Santa!!!!
Arrived early and ready to roll! He has great energy and is open to all suggestions. We used him for a commercial shoot and he was great on camera and really delivered. Also, he is a really good looking Santa with great costuming and a real beard! My kids loved him!
Nick was amazing! He took time to talk to all the kids and the parents! He also entertained the kids with Santa's magic and tricks. He look very real and all the kids and parents were extremely happy with his performance. We all completely recommed him!
Santa brought our daughter so much joy! He kept our two year old engaged the whole time and thrilled her with magic tricks, songs, and incorporated many personal details. We even have a recording of the entire visit. If you are
looking for a safe and enjoyable option for your family and Santa, I highly recommend in the Nick of Time!

I can't say enough great things about In the Nick of Time Santa. I has so many compliments from our group- "OMG, where did you find him?" "He is great", "can I please get his contact info". Santa did it all! Had a backdrop to create great memories, looked amazing in all the pictures and had magic and toys for the kids. He even read the kids a story. Every kid (of all ages) had a wonderful night with Santa. Highly recommend this service.

Thank you Hope..I had a great time ..All your friends and family were awesome..May you have the best Christmas ever
In the Nick Of Time Santa Services was absolutely perfect! We arrived at our event before our office did and was ready to go as soon as we arrived. We were able to get all of the photos that we were looking for plus more. Some of our office even got individual Santa videos for their families. I would highly recommend him for any holiday event.

In the Nick of Time is the best Santa Claus ever! He arrived on time, was very professional, very entertainingly performed for the kids. Everyone loved him and the kids all said, "He's the real Santa with real beard!" 😀 We used him for our Christmas Day church service, and everyone was glad to take pictures with Santa Claus. Thank you fir making our Christmas Day service a great one.
Response from In the Nick Of Time Santa Services:
Thank you Muyi for allowing me to be part of your holiday event..your congregation was so full of holiday spirit and cheer...everybody was so friendly and warm...the children were like little angels....loved being there on this special day
Nick of Time Santa was absolutely amazing. The children were in awe and he performed incredible Santa magic that had the kids enthralled. He was cheerful and polite and sweet and everything you could ever want + more! I highly recommend him and will be booking him again for next year!
If you are looking for a Santa for your event, look no further. I used this santa for an event in my house and he was a Big Hit. I have used several Santa's in the area, and none of them wowed the crowd like him. You can tell that he genuinely cares for the kids and the adults. He took his time with every single child. The adults were amazed also. I am so impressed with his services and will use him every year. Give him a try, you won't be disappointed.
Response from In the Nick Of Time Santa Services:

In the Nick Of Time Santa was so amazing! I own a dance studio with dancers ages 3-9 and Santa came to our Christmas party. He learned some ballet with our students and posed for tons of pictures. He even wore a big red tutu!! Thank you so much Santa for making it such a special experience for our dancers. We can’t wait to see you next year!
Highly recommended!!!! Everyone loved you! Can't wait for next year!

Thank you Valerie...your holiday event for the employees was magical...thank you for letting me part of it
I was doing 15 minute photography sessions and Max had led it all with ease! He was great with the older kids all the way down to a 2 month old who came to the shoot. I hope our schedules work out next year so that we can work together more in the future.
