Perfect Timing for Your Wedding Magician in London
Understanding when to schedule magic entertainment ensures maximum impact and guest enjoyment. Here's how close-up magic fits seamlessly into different parts of your London wedding day.
Drinks Reception Magic (90-120 minutes)
The most popular choice for wedding entertainment in London. While you're having photographs taken and guests are arriving, I mix and mingle performing close-up magic that breaks the ice between different groups. This is the perfect time because guests are relaxed, drinks in hand, and genuinely happy to be entertained while waiting for the wedding breakfast.
Best For:
- • Bridging the photo session gap
- • Mixing bride's and groom's families
- • Creating photo-worthy moments
- • Outdoor/garden receptions
Typical Timeline:
- • 14:00-15:30: After ceremony
- • 16:30-18:00: Pre-dinner drinks
- • Flexible based on your schedule
Wedding Breakfast Magic (60-90 minutes)
Table-hopping entertainment between courses creates energy and excitement across the room. I perform for each table while guests are seated but not eating, ensuring everyone experiences magic without disrupting the meal flow. This works brilliantly at London hotel venues and restaurants where guests remain seated for extended periods.
Best For:
- • Filling gaps between courses
- • Keeping energy high during meals
- • Ensuring all guests see magic
- • Formal sit-down receptions
How It Works:
- • Perform between starter and main
- • Between main and dessert
- • 5-7 minutes per table
- • Coordinated with catering staff
Evening Reception Magic (60-90 minutes)
Perfect for re-energizing the celebration as evening guests arrive. I bridge the gap between day and night celebrations, welcoming new arrivals with close-up magic and mind-reading. This gives evening-only guests something special and refreshes the atmosphere before dancing begins.
Best For:
- • Welcoming evening guests
- • Bridging day/night transition
- • Pre-first dance entertainment
- • Keeping energy before DJ starts
Typical Timeline:
- • 19:30-21:00: As guests arrive
- • Before cake cutting/first dance
- • Flexible around your schedule
Full Day Wedding Magic Coverage
Many couples book magic for multiple parts of the day to ensure all guests experience the entertainment. Popular combinations include drinks reception + wedding breakfast, or drinks reception + evening reception. This provides maximum value and ensures everyone—from day guests to evening arrivals—experiences the magic.

Wedding Magician FAQs
Common questions about booking a wedding magician in London
How much does a wedding magician cost in London?
Most wedding bookings in London start from around £400. The exact price depends on how long you need me (drinks reception only vs full day coverage), the day of the week, and your venue location. Once you share your wedding details, I'll send a clear, fixed quote with no hidden extras.
When is the best time for a wedding magician to perform?
The drinks reception is the most popular slot – guests are mingling, photos are being taken, and magic creates natural conversation starters. The wedding breakfast (between courses) and evening reception are also excellent. Many couples book multiple slots for maximum impact across the day.
How far in advance should we book a wedding magician?
For peak wedding dates (Saturdays in summer, December), I'm often booked 6-12 months ahead. If you have your venue and date confirmed, it's worth checking availability early. That said, I can sometimes accommodate shorter-notice bookings if my diary allows.
What venues in London do you perform at?
I regularly perform at wedding venues across London including Chelsea, Richmond, Kensington, Greenwich, Hampstead, and beyond. Popular venues include hotel ballrooms, private members' clubs, riverside restaurants, historic houses, and garden marquees. I'm familiar with most London wedding venues and can adapt to any setting.
Will the magic work for guests of all ages?
Yes – my close-up magic and mind-reading is designed to amaze adults while being completely suitable for children and families. I naturally adjust my approach depending on who I'm performing for, ensuring everyone feels included and entertained.
How many guests can you cover at a wedding?
As a guide, 1.5-2 hours of close-up magic covers around 50-80 guests comfortably. For larger weddings (100+ guests), I recommend 2-3 hours or covering multiple parts of the day. I'll advise on the best approach once I know your guest numbers and schedule.
