Hire a wedding magician

The best seat in the house for every guest

Your guests come from different parts of your life: school friends, colleagues, two families meeting properly for the first time. A wedding magician gives them something to share. Matt moves between groups during the drinks reception, while you’re having your photos taken, performing magic that happens in your guests’ own hands, with their rings, their phones and their thoughts.

Matt has performed at hundreds of weddings, from country houses and barns in Surrey and Sussex to London venues including The Shard and Hux Hotel in Kensington, and destination weddings at Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, on a boat in Dubai Marina, in Malta and in India. At Emirates Palace, Matt created a bespoke iPad routine in which two ring boxes appeared on screen and were then produced, for real, from the iPad and handed to the bride and groom to exchange their rings.

It’s modern, sophisticated magic that works for every age, from grandparents to the youngest bridesmaid. One client booked him for years of work events, then booked him again for her own wedding.

Magic at every part of your wedding day

Matt plans the magic around your running order, so it fits naturally into the day.

Drinks Reception

The most popular time. Magic keeps everyone entertained while you’re off having your photos taken.

Wedding Breakfast

Table-to-table magic between courses, so every guest sees the magic up close.

Evening Reception

Magic for evening guests as they arrive, before the first dance and the band.

“We have booked Matt for many work events and he has always been so good, so good in fact that I booked him for our wedding and he did NOT disappoint! An incredible performance that my guests are still talking about.”
Hayley BayWedding at Hux Hotel, Kensington

Wedding magician FAQs

Hiring a magician for your wedding

How much does a wedding magician cost?

Every wedding is quoted individually, because the fee depends on the date, location, how long you’d like Matt to perform and your guest numbers. Send your details for a clear quote.

When is the best time for a magician at a wedding?

The drinks reception is the most popular, because guests are mingling while you have your photos taken. Between courses at the wedding breakfast and early in the evening reception also work brilliantly.

How long does a wedding magician perform for?

Usually between one and three hours, depending on guest numbers and how many parts of the day you’d like covered.

Is the magic suitable for children and older guests?

Yes. The magic is modern and sophisticated for adults, and works for every age in the room, from grandparents to young bridesmaids and pageboys.

Do you have public liability insurance?

Yes, £10 million public liability insurance, which most wedding venues ask for.

Can you include something personal for us?

Yes. Matt can build a moment around your story, from your names and wedding date to a surprise during the speeches.

Do you perform at destination weddings?

Yes. Matt has performed at weddings at Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, on a boat in Dubai Marina, in Malta and in India. At Emirates Palace he produced the couple’s ring boxes from an iPad so they could exchange their rings. See international magician.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Summer Saturdays go first, often a year or more ahead. If your date is close, it’s still worth asking.
