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.

James was absolutely fantastic at our wedding and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He had all of our guests fully engaged, laughing, and completely amazed throughout the day. People are still talking about his magic now and saying how brilliant he was!

Myself and Paula are so pleased we chose James to be part of our special day. He added such a fun and memorable atmosphere and really helped make the day extra special.

If you’re thinking about booking a magician for your wedding or event, definitely book James — you won’t regret it! ✨

James was our host/entertainment at our wedding at the end of February and I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough! We met James for the first time at a wedding event and left the event after seeing others doing a similar thing, with the thoughts in our mind, we need to book this guy! Fast forward to other wedding events, seeing James again multiple times, him remembering us each time and us finally booking our wedding. We chose the full hosting package with James, and he really couldn’t have done a more incredible job. We were so concerned of there being a lull in the day, as with most wedding there can be, especially in such a big venue, but James ensured this did not happen, keeping our guests entertained all day. He helped guests as they arrived, pointing them in the right direction, and ensuring they were all looked after which was huge help. His skills mixing with so many types of people and keeping everyone happy really are incredible. Our guests couldn’t have spoke any higher of James, and to this day, not only do we have the special memories with him, but our guests still talk about him now!! Thanks so much James for making our special day so magical, literally. We really hope to see you again and wish you all the best, you really have an amazing skill you are genuinely such a great guy!

We booked James after being amazed by his magic at a wedding taster evening, and what a fantastic decision that was. As well as being a lovely bloke, the magic kept everyone entertained and everyone raved about him after. Throughly recommend him, thanks James!

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 👍🪄
