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.

James was amazing, his tricks were amazing, so glad we asked him to come and entertain us and our guests at our Golden Wedding party. Thank you James.
We had James perform some amazing magic at our wedding back in the November 2024, If we hadn't spontaneously met James during our wedding meal taster (also a mini wedding fayre) at beginning of the year none of this would have happened and we would have definitely missed out on some quality entertainment without realising so we're very grateful for that day, James gives such great aura, highly professional, the communication from start to finish was faultless, He made sure everything was planned/researched out perfectly. The whole wedding party thoroughly enjoyed it and were blown away, my wife and I sure as heck loved it, the kids absolutely adored James. He gave some memorabilia to remember his part in the day.

I heartly recommend.
James was one of the standout highlights of our wedding day! He performed MC duties alongside his incredible magic both close up and to the whole room. His charisma shone throughout, making sure everyone got a piece of the action, and elevated our gorgeous day to new heights. James is a wonderful person which is what makes him so good at what he does, as well as having exceptional, magical performances. We've even got memorabilia of his magic on our mantlepiece still to this day! If you don't have James at your wedding, you're truly missing out!!
Myself and my partner hired James for our wedding on 30.12.2024. Fantastic host, entertainer and a magician! Definitely breaks the ice between the guests, assists with some organisational aspects and brings so much energy! We had a fantastic mini magic show, which i absolutely loved! Shame i didn't recorded it 🙈😅
If anyone is in doubt, James is worth every penny! Every single one of our guests was in awe and had so many positive feedbacks on our choice to have him! Highly recommend! ♥️
Fantastic entertainment thank you 🙂
I first met James at a friends wedding and asked him to come and do some magic at a work event. Both times he absolutely blew people’s minds and was the topic of conversation for days afterwards!! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again for any kind of event! Super professional and super talented!
James was absolutely incredible! Originally we thought he was a bit expensive but me and my husband are so glad we booked him and managed to fit him in the budget because he went above and beyond our expectations! All of our wedding guests have all had such amazing things to say about him and we haven’t got a bad word to say! His magic was outstanding, his hosting was perfect and his entertainment for the kids was incredible. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough! He certainly help made our day perfect and one everyone will remember 💜 10/10
We had Jamie come and perform a magic walkabout at our wedding. He was extremely professional, polite and great with his admin. Everyone was blown away with his magic and it really added to our day, we would highly recommend!
All I can say is I wish I had met James sooner and booked him for Jodie and myself's wedding. Absolute 10/10 performance, amazing gentleman and brilliant host.
