Wedding Magicians
Wedding Magician Hire Across the UK
Close-up magic for your drinks reception, wedding breakfast and evening party, from experienced local wedding magicians.
Hiring a wedding magician is one of the simplest ways to break the ice at your reception. Guests who have never met start talking, and the quieter parts of the day, while photographs are taken or the room is turned round, fill with laughter instead of waiting.
Magical Memories has been booking magicians for weddings since 1996. We match you with a local, insured close-up magician who is experienced at weddings, so travel costs stay sensible and you get an act you can rely on.
Why Couples Book a Wedding Magician
Magic performed a few feet away gets a reaction that little else at a wedding can match. Everybody loves magic when it is performed well - it gets people talking, it brings plenty of laughter, and it works for guests of every age.
Close-Up Magic at Your Wedding Reception
A close-up magician moves between small groups during the drinks reception, or visits each table between courses of the wedding breakfast, performing with cards, coins and borrowed objects right in your guests' hands. There is no stage or sound system to set up, so it suits any venue, from a barn to a country house hotel.
Book Your Wedding Magician
The Magical Memories team comprises professional wedding magicians handpicked for their skill and experience in performing at weddings. They are experienced, reliable and, most importantly, brilliant at entertaining guests. Tell us your date and venue and we will suggest the best-suited wedding magician near you.
Other Wedding Entertainment
As well as wedding magician hire, we provide other mix-and-mingle wedding entertainers, including mind readers, pickpockets, stage magicians and wedding caricaturists. Many couples combine two acts across the day.
Engagements, Vow Renewals and Civil Partnerships
Our magicians also perform at engagement dinners, vow renewals and civil partnerships, with the same mix-and-mingle and table magic.
