Magic entertainment for guests at civil wedding reception

On 8 October I performed at Graham and Paul’s civil wedding reception in the marquee which had been pitched in the garden of the family home. I was performing for 90 minutes during the drinks reception whilst the official wedding photos were being taken.

Graham had booked me in secret so it was a wonderful surprise for Paul when I turned up!

I’m still shocked when some clients tell me that, even in 2016, they’ve sometimes find it difficult to find suppliers because there is a bias against civil partnership.

If you’d like to hire a magician to entertain your guests at your civil partnership wedding, check out the videos of my wedding magic act on my website, then contact me to check my availability on your big day.
