I'm fairly well known in the Ocean City, Maryland area where I'm referred to as the Beach / Boardwalk / Summer Santa. Visit my FB site: OC MD Santa for over 600 pictures and testimonials.
I'm the real Santa Claus with a real beard, a vintage suit and a very upbeat and positive attitude. I'm a big kid who gets along extremely well with children. I love to see them smile.
I have experience working many types of events.
Santa was fabulous and very authentic. It was a pretty chilly day and Santa braved the elements. He was great with all the kids, pets, and families. He did two book reads for us and as you'll see in one of the photos, the kids were just entranced. I really didn't think kids today still enjoyed such simplicity, but they loved it!
The whole process from booking Santa to his arrival was a piece of cake. I am looking forward to next year and would definitely recommend.

We can’t thank you enough for sending us the most incredible Santa Claus for our Christmas party! He didn’t just show up – he delivered the North Pole magic like a pro. From his perfectly jolly laugh to his twinkle-eyed charisma, he had kids and adults alike completely enchanted.
His interactions were so genuine, he made every guest feel special, brought big smiles to our event, and left a trail of holiday joy that we’re still talking about.
Please let him know how much we appreciated his energy, professionalism, and dedication to making the day truly unforgettable. He’s a star in the Santa universe, and we’d welcome him back to our chimney anytime!
Thank you again for providing such amazing talent. We look forward to working with you in the future!

You can’t go wrong with OC Santa
We highly recommend this Santa experience. He arrived early, dressed, jingling bells, and ready to go. He was friendly and patient with all of the children, and made our neighborhood party everything we had hoped for. You could tell that this is a job he really enjoys. We will be hiring him again next year.
Super professional, and arrived EARLY.
Incredible with kids of all ages, and was really great at helping the hesitant toddlers to cooperate for photos! He took his time making sure the kids felt special and getting those genuine smiles. 100% recommend and will be using him for all my Santa sessions next year for sure !!
We booked Santa again for the event this year and everyone loved him again! He really connects with shy and apprehensive children and puts them at ease.
He is the best Santa. We are so happy to have him in our Christmas Party. Kids and adults love him. We hope always have him in ours celebrations. Thanks
Santa with Smiles was perfect for our Holiday Celebration - the children were very excited and confortable about him. He was professional, friendly, helpful and a joy to work with!
Santa “Real Beard” was amazing! He was responsive, timely, patient, flexible, and the kids absolutely loved him! He definitely brought his smile and big red bag to give out presents to the kiddos. I will always use this Santa if I ever needed one again.

Santa was on time and professional. Easily made connections with the people at our event and was super easy to work with. Great communicator. We’ll be booking him for next year’s event!
On time, professional Santa who really took the time to connect with people at our event. Super easy to work with and communicated well. We’ll be booking him next year!
Santa Claus (Real Beard) with a Smile is the Santa you need. Works well with Kids and Adults. Can not forget that he has an actual beard. Worked really well on our company photoshoot. Handled the kids with ease! Super friendly! I highly recommend.
So happy I booked this Sanat for my photography mini sessions. He was very quick to respond from day one through the day of our session and he truly enjoys what he does. Punctual and detail oriented. He was amazing with the kids, especially the ones that were unsure of Santa at first. I will definitely use him in the future and reccomend him to anyone looking for a Santa!! A great guy all the way around.
Santa with the real beard was a hit for my holiday celebration. Santa was great with the kids and even took a gift to one of my neighbors grandson, who could not attend the kids celebration.
Santa Claus (real beard) was fantastic! I highly recommend him for your next event.

Santa was such a joy. He made all the children at The Learning Experience feel the Christmas Spirit !!! We will definitely call him to visit next year !
Thank you Santa
I am thrilled Gig Salad connected me to this Santa Claus. I am an adult, and was convinced I was starring at the REAL Santa Claus. He is professional, fantastic with kids, and was beyond a joy to work with. Look no further when looking for your Santa Claus. I learned he is famous in Ocean City, MD for being Santa and now I know why! I will be booking him for the rest of our events on the farm for years to come. His real beard and jolly mood will get everyone in the holiday spirit!

Each child is different. Some kids like high energy. Some kids need help feeling comfortable. I've met thousands of kids as Santa. I've been told many times that I'm great with kids (young and older).
