The perfect day
From Consultation to First Dance – I’ve Got You Covered
How I make your dream day extra-ordinary.
Pre-wedding planning
We’ll sit down to discuss your day, timings, and how you want it to feel. I’ll liaise with your vendors so magic & logistics fit perfectly into everything.
Ceremony to Cocktails
As guests arrive, I’ll greet them and be their first point of contact before you say, ‘I do’. After the ceremony, its close-up magic with cocktails and canapés. Fun and laughter as I entertain everyone whilst you go about your photos and greet your guests.
Wedding Breakfast & Interludes
It’s magic all round: at the tables, at your table and a show before speeches spotlighting your story, adding yet more enjoyment to your day.
Your Host & MC role
Throughout, I’ll announce everything, guide transitions, cue speeches and keep everything on schedule in a fun and contemporary way. There’ll be my signature bridal party entrance to your chosen music; everything delivered with charisma, clarity, and a touch of magic.
Evening Reception / Cake Cutting/ First Dance and Bouquet Toss
When evening guests arrive, I’ll mingle, entertain, and make them part of your day. I’ll host your cake cutting, your first dance and your bouquet toss, closing the night with a flourish.

FAQ
Why do we need a magician or MC at our wedding?
What’s the difference between your Platinum, Gold and Silver packages?
- Platinum is your full-day hosting, magic and contemporary MC experience. I pre-plan your day with you weeks ahead. On the day I host, greet guests, stage-manage, perform magic and make all your announcements: from canapés to cake cutting; banquet to bouquet toss; from guest arrival into evening reception. See me as your entertainer, guest coordinator, time-line manager and charismatic red-carpet host.
- Gold is your half-day hosting plus magic package. Pre-planning with you weeks before, I’m there as your ceremony concludes to entertain guests, make announcements, perform table magic, finishing after the wedding breakfast. It’s a lighter version of platinum for the daytime parts of your day, but with all the planning, organisation and of course fun!
- Silver is the “magic only” option. I entertain guests after your ceremony, during the drink’s reception and wedding breakfast: performing walkabout, table and top-table magic. No hosting or announcements, just top-quality magical entertainment during your day.
What extra value does Platinum and Gold offer, beyond just “more time”?
It’s not about time, but about service, content, experience, value and going that extra mile. It’s about what I do before the day as well as on the day. I strive to provide excellence whatever package you select with each incorporating different elements to match your needs:
- Platinum provides significant pre-planning prior to your day and gives you peace of mind for the whole event: liaison with all suppliers, coordinating your timeline, greeting guests, bridal party entrance, formal announcements, managing transitions seamlessly and of course all the magic you want.
- Gold gives you the key highlights of that support (planning, hosting, announcements, signature entrance), plus magic during the core daytime, leaving you to your evening.
- Both Platinum and Gold reduce stress in leaving me to manage your day, giving it a clear focus, ensure smoother flow, and give your guests a premium experience enveloped in entertainment, not just “magic bits.”
Can I have magic plus hosting, but only for part of the day?
Yes, that’s exactly what the Gold package is for. You get the benefit of hosting plus magic, but through the main part of your day (up to the end of the wedding breakfast).
If I choose Silver, can I add hosting or announcements later on?
If you choose my Silver package but want to upscale to one of the hosting packages later on we can certainly look to make that happen, subject to my availability.
Can you just provide a couple of hours magic?
I don’t offer engagement by the hour as this is not practical, rarely works and there is too much risk to you and your day. Instead, my packages are defined by the core components of your day. Events rarely to run to time, for genuine reasons. By selecting a package there is complete peace of mind I’m there for the key parts of your day without interruption. No worry that if your reception drinks overrun and my time runs out that you’ll be without a magician, or I arrive and things haven’t started but my time slot has.
How do I decide which is best for me?
- Choose Platinum if you want the full red carpet hosting experience, with magic built in and want me coordinating your plans from start to finish.
- Choose Gold if you value hosting and announcements through the day but are comfortable that once the wedding breakfast concludes things take care of themselves.
- Choose Silver if you mainly want magical entertainment (during drinks and wedding breakfast) without any hosting or on the day leadership.
We have found a cheaper magician who can do what you do.
Cheaper versions of anything are always available, but cheap does not mean quality. Nor will it include what I offer. I bring value to your day that exceeds price. Your day is about the interactions and the experience. You should not be worrying about who is doing what or what comes next, especially when there are so many things to take care of: planning, event programme, announcements, time-keeping, guests, suppliers, entertainment co-ordination, logistics and facilitation. Your focus must be on interpersonal interactions, catching up with family and friends and each other. Beware, many people over promise and under deliver and I can give you a catalogue of stories about such events. In me you have a qualified event planner, a career-professional host, a Magic Circle magician with international accreditations and numerous 5-star reviews.
We have a wedding co-ordinator and/or Master of Ceremonies included as part of our package. Why do we need a hosting package?
In short you don’t! That is as long as you are confident you know what you are getting and from who, as often things are not what they initially seemed and on the day it’s too late. I have worked alongside providers ‘included in a package’ with great success. Equally, I have had many disappointed couples, when ‘Barry’ from behind the bar takes centre stage to host your day or the assigned ‘packaged’ MC cannot be found when they are needed. I have written a blog about this to help you decide. You can read it here.
What magical entertainment is included in each package?
- All packages include close-up magic during the drink’s reception, table magic at the wedding breakfast, and magic for the top table.
- Platinum and Gold also include a magic show before the speeches or over dessert and more opportunities for performance through the day.
- Platinum includes magic to your arriving evening guests or at a time you’d prefer as well.

Do you need any technical equipment to host our wedding
For hosting yes. However, I have my own self-contained top of the range PA system with wireless mics and the systems to allowing me to integrate music into what I do, seamlessly. If the venue has its own equipment, I’m happy to see how it can that used instead
Are you a member of any professional organisation
