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.

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!

James was at my cousins birthday party and made sure everyone was entertained with his magic tricks and happy good natured quick witted sense of humour. Gets a good recommendation from me 😊👌

Met James as my nieces wedding. Magic tricks kept both adults and kids entertained and enthralled through out the day.

We 1st met James at our Wedding tasting menu day at our chosen venue. Having met him on the day we were certain he needed to be a part of our special day so were quick to get him booked! We had our wedding at the weekend and James was beyond brilliant. Like so many others who have reviewed him, we kept him a secret to all of our family and friends to make sure he had maximum impact and he didn’t disappoint, from working the guests ahead of the ceremony and throughout the celebrations through to the evening festivities he was on hand to wow our guests and they all loved him. His comparing skills made the whole wedding breakfast like a well rehearsed seamless presentation.
Being such a great magician and thoroughly lovely guy he will add sparkle to any occasion and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone considering having him join their wedding! The best investment you will make, guaranteed!

Excellent magic and balloon making. Great entertainment. Would definitely recommend James.

A Truly Magical Experience!

We had James perform at our wedding and WOW! he was absolutely fantastic. He entertained our guests during the drinks reception and again in-between the courses of our wedding breakfast. He visited each table with amazing close-up magic that left everyone stunned. From balloon creations for the kids to magic that captivated the adults, he brought something special for everyone.

We kept James a compete surprise from not only our guests but our wedding party too and knowing this, he was discreet in his setup to the point even we wouldn’t have know he was there. None of our guests had a clue until he appeared, which made it even more exciting! The personalised magic he performed just for us as the bride and groom, was a real highlight and genuinely mind blowing. So many of our guests commented on how brilliant he was. We can’t recommend James highly enough, not only is he a genuinely lovely person to get to know, he is also extremely professional, talented, and a true magician in every sense!

Fantastic experience with James at a christening party. Friendly, fun with adults and kids. Great magic tricks that we could not believe!! Fantastic presence we would highly recommend and can't wait to see again. James was very impressed with my child's trick and interested in showing them where to find information. Thank you!! 😁

I booked James to entertain a group of 10 during my husbands 60th birthday celebration, as a surprise. James was amazing! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed his magic, he was a great magician, very easy going, and very entertaining. I would highly recommend James, and would certainly book him again.

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.
