Hire A Wedding Silhouette Artist | Silhouette Cutters For Weddings
So you are getting married and want something a little different to entertain your guests. A silhouette artist cuts a portrait of each guest’s profile live, freehand, with nothing more than a small pair of scissors and black paper – a rare and beautiful art that dates back to the 18th century, and a keepsake every guest will want to frame.
Silhouettes Of Your Guests
While your guests are waiting for the photographs to be taken, between the courses of the wedding breakfast, or during the evening reception, a silhouette artist quietly works through your guests one by one. Each guest stands side-on and carries on chatting while their profile is cut, and within a couple of minutes they have a flattering silhouette portrait to take home.
It is elegant, unusual and a lovely talking point – and your guests take home a genuine piece of art from your wedding day. Find out what a Magical Memories silhouette artist can do for your wedding – contact us today.

When Does A Wedding Silhouette Artist Entertain?
1. During the drinks reception and photographs.
The most popular time. While the bride and groom are busy having photos, the silhouette artist mingles among your guests – a perfect icebreaker and a superb talking point.
2. At the tables, between the courses of the wedding breakfast.
Guests can have their silhouette cut without leaving their seats, while they wait for the next course to be served.
3. After the meal.
A lovely way to bridge the gap between the daytime celebrations and the evening reception.
4. During the evening reception.
A perfect choice for guests who would rather chat than dance, in a quieter bar or lounge.
What Does A Wedding Silhouette Artist Do?
A silhouette artist, or silhouette cutter, studies each guest’s profile and cuts it freehand from black paper with a small pair of scissors. There is no drawing first and no template, and each silhouette takes just a couple of minutes.
As a guide, around 25 guests can have their silhouette cut in the first hour, around 50 over two hours and 60 to 70 over three hours. Singles and couples can both be cut.
Every silhouette is presented on a mount card and given to your guests to keep. The cards can be personalised with your names and wedding date, so each one becomes a lasting memento of your day.
How Do We Choose Our Silhouette Artists?
Silhouette cutting is a rare skill, and only a handful of artists in the UK can cut a true likeness freehand at a live event. Before an artist joins Magical Memories, we look closely at their work, their experience at weddings and the way they look after guests.
Many agencies will take on any act willing to pay a joining fee. We do not work in this manner and never have.
Magical Memories have been providing high-end wedding entertainment since 1996, so we know exactly what makes a wedding day run smoothly, and we will look after your booking from your first enquiry to the day itself.
Silhouettes For Your Wedding Stationery
As well as cutting silhouettes of your guests on the day, a silhouette of the two of you can be used across your wedding.
Couples have used them on invitations, place names, table numbers, welcome signs and banners, and even on the wedding cake or as a cake topper. A full-length silhouette of the couple also makes a lovely first anniversary gift, as paper is the traditional first anniversary present.
