Wedding Magician & Hosting Packages

I love a wedding...

I love attending weddings both socially and professionally and after tying the knot myself in 2016, I know how important your big day is.
I would love to help you make your wedding day run smoothly with fun and unforgettable magic for your guests. I have been proudly voted South West Wedding Magician of the Year 2024, by the Wedding Industry Awards. A highly regarded wedding awards voted by previous couples and judged by industry experts.

As a wedding host I will introduce the key moments of your day, ensure that everything runs smoothly and everyone is in the right place at the right time. In a modern twist to a traditional toast master, I add my incredible mix of magic, comedy and mind reading to the day to create a fun and relaxed atmosphere. I will bring your guests together with plenty of laughs and gasps.

Previous surveys from Bridal Magazines suggest that the entertainment at the wedding reception is one of the most remembered parts of the day. More than twice as many guests remembered the entertainment over the flowers or catering. It was certainly true for our wedding, as I remember the acoustic singers we booked (Evertide Music) over what we ate.

We remember how people make us feel more than anything and I aim to make your friends and family laugh, smile and remember your day as one of the best days of their lives as well as the very best day of yours.

I can provide full-day hosting, half-day hosting and magic without hosting. My style is fun, but not overly eccentric. I can blend in with the style of your day. Whether it’s a relaxed barn style wedding, a festival themed party, or a formal Manor House affair.

My hosting packages include;

  • greeting the bridal party and guests
  • background music for the ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast
  • announcing the wedding breakfast and ushering guests to be seated
  • a mini comedy mind-reading cabaret before the speeches
  • introducing the speeches
  • announcing all key moments such as your entrance to the wedding breakfast, speeches, cutting the cake, first dance, the bouquet toss and any other important events.

Since planning my own wedding with my wife I know that it can be stressful & I would love to make some of the “Wedmin” disappear!

You’ll receive incredibly detailed documents, such as a run sheet and wedding party details exclusively for your wedding that will help make the whole day run as smoothly just as you’ve hoped. We’ll meet either in person or via video chat to discuss all the important details of your day.

If you would like hosting with the attention to detail that you deserve. An entrance into the wedding breakfast that will have your guests waving their napkins and banging on the tables, download my latest Wedding Hosting brochure here or if you would like a quote please click the link below to fill in a contact form.

Sincere thanks to James for such an excellent performance for my 70th birthday celebration with my family. His magician skills were incredible and he engaged with each of the eleven people in our group, including my five grandchildren. James tailored his presentation to suit the occasion. I strongly recommend James.

James was funny, engaging and above all, a fantastic magician that our group - ageing from 5 to 70 - all loved. A brilliant addition to my dad’s 70th birthday who we would highly recommend and will certainly look to use again in future. Thanks, James 👍🪄

I met James at a party for my father in law's 80th where he delighted adults and kids alike with his tricks. He has a very easy going nature and was great with children. Would highly recommend.

We had James perform at our wedding during cocktail hour and in-between courses of our meal, and he was absolutely fantastic! Some of our guests were a little sceptical when we mentioned we’d booked a magician, but every single one of them has since told us it was one of the best parts of the day. The tricks were mind-blowing, and James was so engaging, funny, and easy to talk to. He created such a fun, magical atmosphere and added a truly memorable element to our wedding. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

James has a perfect combination of skills and personality. He kept adults and children enthralled. He also worked as the MC at my son's wedding. I would willingly use James again if I need an entertainer.

James was so easy to work with arranging his attendance at our son and daughter in law's wedding. From the first contact to the amazing tricks and fun that he made happen on the day, everything was so relaxed. A truly nice person it was obvious he wanted to help make the day special and cared about what he was doing and the role he took in the celebrations.
And the day itself, I really cannot put into words how much of an impact he made with the guests, putting everyone at ease, making them laugh and wonder at the tricks. He helped the day run so smoothly liaising with the wedding planner and other suppliers. I would totally recommend James for any event, you won't be disappointed.
