Wedding Magician & Hosting Packages

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.

A survey from Modern Bride Magazine suggests 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. I can attest to this, as I remember the acoustic singers, Evertide Music, that we had at our wedding, 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 the best day of their lives as well as the best day of yours.

“Fantastic magician! Excellent entertainment loved by our guests! Lots of compliments, thanks so much!”

Mr & Mrs Mogridge – The Longhouse, Somerset

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 vibe of your day. Whether it’s a relaxed day, festival party or a more formal occasion.
My hosting packages include;

  • Greeting the guests
  • Announcing the you out of the ceremony for the confetti shot, calling guests for the wedding breakfast
  • A mini cabaret before the speeches to warm the crowd
  • Introducing the speeches
  • Announcing any key moments such as cutting the cake, the first dance and the bouquet toss
  • Bose PA system for background music and speechs

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

You’ll receive incredibly detailed documents exclusively for your wedding that will help make the whole day run as smoothly just as you’ve hoped.

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 and to check availability please click the link below to fill in a contact form.

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.

James performed at my 80th birthday party. He really entertained the guests with his magic and has a great personality to really entertain. I would highly recommend him to make any party go well.

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.

WOW what a guy !!! Not only is he an exceptional magician / host , he is genuinely a great guy.
We hit it off almost immediately, flowing into a lovely bit of banter and camaraderie.
This leading on to conversation about sharing a very similar performers mindset and outlook on going above and beyond for our couples.
Him being an expectant father again also gave us a connection, exchanging performing father stories as part of the DAD club lol. We had such a laugh.
You can really see how much he loves his job , the guy didn't stop smiling and embracing the magical moments he was creating and it was great to be part of that.
However it didn't stop there... He was more than happy to help be my ‘sound tech’ for my opener and also allowed me to use his insanely clever meta glasses during my performance.
I have to say entrusting me with those was in my opinion such a generous act of kindness,
a trait in which I hold above most.
In a nutshell not only Is James a next level magician and host but also has a kind and caring character which reflects in his manner and work. if you want a personable magician / host then look no further.
I really do hope we have the pleasure of working together again in the future.
Best wishes

Absolutely thrilled to leave a 5-star review for our wedding host James! From the very start, James was incredible—always staying in touch and making sure every detail was perfect. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him. We’re so grateful he even rearranged his schedule to fit our wedding in.

On the big day, James was out of this world. He kept everything running smoothly and took all the stress off our shoulders. He also brought along his circus gear to keep the kids entertained, which went down an absolute treat—even the adults had a good go at it! 😂

To top it all off, he wowed our guests with his incredible magic—everyone was totally blown away. We couldn’t have asked for a better host and would 1000% recommend James to anyone looking for someone professional, talented, and genuinely caring. Thank you, James, for making our day so special and unforgettable!
