Planning Your Garden Party Magic

Timeline and weather contingency guidance

Organizing outdoor entertainment for London garden parties requires thoughtful planning around seasons, weather, and logistics. Here's a comprehensive timeline for booking magic entertainment for your outdoor celebration, including practical weather contingency advice.

1

Early Planning (12-24+ Weeks Before)

For summer garden parties (June-August) and peak season dates, book well ahead—popular summer weekends fill quickly. Share your target date, guest numbers, garden location, and whether you have weather backup plans (marquee, indoor space).

Key details: Preferred date, approximate guest count, garden location in London, outdoor setup plans (open air, marquee, covered terrace), and backup indoor space availability. Mention if weather-dependent decisions needed.

2

Quote & Weather Discussion (Within 48 Hours)

I'll provide a detailed quote and discuss weather contingency options. Close-up magic works perfectly in any conditions—we'll agree on flexible timing and backup arrangements to ensure your entertainment works whatever the London weather brings.

Weather planning: Discuss marquee availability, indoor backup spaces, flexible start times, and whether to build weather flexibility into booking agreement. Most bookings include standard weather provisions.

3

Booking Confirmation (When Ready)

Secure your date with a booking agreement and deposit (typically 30%). For garden parties, we'll include flexible performance location clauses—allowing smooth transition between outdoor, marquee, or indoor spaces based on weather conditions.

Agreement includes: Date security, weather flexibility provisions, performance timing windows, location options (garden/marquee/indoor), and clear cancellation policies for extreme weather situations.

4

Pre-Party Coordination (1-2 Weeks Before)

Final check-in to confirm guest numbers, review weather forecasts, discuss garden setup details (marquees, seating areas, catering flow), and agree final performance plans. This is when we finalize where magic will happen based on latest party plans.

Final details: Updated guest count, garden layout overview, marquee/gazebo positions, catering timing, parking near your property, and preferred performance start time accounting for weather and daylight.

5

Weather Check (2-3 Days Before)

We'll connect briefly to review forecast and confirm final plans—whether staying outdoors, under marquee, or moving indoors if weather looks challenging. Magic adapts seamlessly, so this is just about coordinating with your overall party setup.

Weather coordination: Review forecast together, confirm performance location preferences, adjust timing if needed for weather windows, and ensure everyone's comfortable with the plan whatever develops.

6

Party Day Performance (Flexible & Adaptable)

I arrive early to assess the garden setup and weather, introduce myself, and start performing when you're ready. Magic flows naturally through your outdoor spaces, adapting in real-time to weather changes, guest movement, and your garden party rhythm.

Performance flexibility: Moving between garden areas, marquees, and indoor spaces as needed. Adapting to weather changes instantly. Working around catering, speeches, and garden party flow—completely responsive entertainment.

🌤 Weather Backup Best Practices

Marquee Magic

Hiring a marquee or gazebo gives you weather confidence. Magic works beautifully in covered outdoor spaces—maintaining garden party atmosphere with weather protection.

Indoor Backup Space

Most London homes have conservatories, large kitchens, or indoor spaces that work perfectly as backup. Close-up magic transitions seamlessly between outdoor and indoor.

Flexible Timing

Unlike stage shows, roaming magic can adapt timing to weather windows—starting earlier or later, taking breaks during showers, or moving with guests.
