Planning Your Engagement Party Entertainment
Timeline from booking to your pre-wedding celebration
Engagement parties often happen within months of getting engaged—faster planning than weddings themselves. Here's a practical timeline for booking magic entertainment for your London engagement celebration, ensuring everything comes together beautifully for this special pre-wedding milestone.
Right After Getting Engaged (6-12 Weeks Before Party)
Most couples plan engagement parties within 2-3 months of getting engaged. Book magic early once you've chosen your date and venue—popular dates (especially weekends and spring/summer) fill quickly, particularly in popular London neighborhoods like Chelsea and Richmond.
What to share: Your engagement date (congratulations!), target party date, approximate guest count, venue location, and celebration style (intimate family gathering vs. large celebration). Mention if coordinating with other pre-wedding events.
Quote & Availability (Within 24 Hours)
I'll confirm availability for your engagement party date and provide a detailed quote. Pricing depends on guest numbers, celebration duration, and venue location. Most London engagement parties start from around £450 for quality close-up entertainment.
Pricing factors: Guest count, performance duration (typically 1-2 hours for drinks receptions, longer for full celebrations), day of week (Saturdays premium), and travel across London. Package options available for couples planning multiple pre-wedding events.
Booking Confirmation (Once Venue Secured)
Once your engagement party venue is confirmed and you're ready to book entertainment, I'll send a booking agreement and invoice. Deposit (30%) secures your date exclusively, with balance due 2 weeks before your celebration.
Agreement includes: Date security, performance timing, venue details, guest count estimates, special requests (like involving family members in tricks), and coordination with any other entertainment or wedding planning.
Pre-Party Coordination (1-2 Weeks Before)
Final check-in to confirm updated guest numbers, discuss venue layout, review celebration schedule (speeches, toasts, cake cutting), and coordinate performance timing. This ensures magic fits perfectly with your engagement party flow.
Final details: Exact guest count, venue address and parking, special guests to include (parents, grandparents), best performance timing (usually during drinks reception), and any surprises or special moments planned.
Celebration Day Arrival (20-30 Minutes Early)
I arrive discreetly before guests (or as early arrivals begin), introduce myself to you as the couple, meet venue staff, and get ready. Low-key professional arrival that doesn't distract from your celebration preparations.
On arrival: Quick hello to you both, venue walkthrough, confirm start time, stay out of the way until you're ready for magic to begin. Completely flexible to your celebration schedule.
Performance & Celebration Magic
Magic happens! I roam naturally through your engagement party, performing for guests from both families and friend groups, creating connections and memorable moments. Perfect for drinks receptions, mingling time, or throughout your celebration.
How it works: Moving between groups naturally, introducing guests who haven't met, creating ice-breaking moments, and ensuring everyone experiences magic. Taking breaks for speeches, toasts, or special moments—completely adaptable to your celebration.
💍 Multi-Event Packages
Engagement + Wedding
Book magic for both your engagement party and wedding reception—package discounts available for couples planning multiple events with the same entertainer.
Pre-Wedding Events
Planning multiple celebrations? Coordinate magic across engagement parties, hen/stag parties, and wedding events for consistency and value.
Early Booking Benefits
Booking engagement party entertainment early (8-12 weeks ahead) typically means better availability, priority scheduling, and time to coordinate perfectly with your planning.
