In this article I will discuss why hiring a wedding entertainment for your wedding will give your big day that extra special X factor
In this article I will take a step back and discuss WHY you should be booking a magician in the first place, or at least the pros and cons in doing so. Naturally I am moderately biased given that this is my profession, but I still think I can put forward a good case for the conjuring community.
Now, it makes sense that since you are the centre of attention for pretty much the entire day you will not always be looking out for your guests and seeing if they are okay. This is where a magician can step in to add that extra dimension to your guests wedding experience and give you peace of mind knowing that they are in good hands.
A good magician can pretty much work during any part of your BIG day (except of course the actual ceremony!) This makes a magician extremely versatile, slotting in with ease and not disrupting the flow of the event.
A magician can wow your guests during any of the following times
Wedding entertainment during the photos
The formal photographs can take up to a couple of hours with most of your guests left to idly chat amongst themselves. There is no better time than a magician to step in and provide an unforgettable experience,; a great ice breaker.
During the wedding breakfast
The is another popular choice whereby the magician will entertain between courses at tables. If the magician is good this will no doubt raise the atmosphere in the room and make your wedding day feel that little bit more special.
During the evening reception
A magician can also entertain during the evening reception when all your evening guests have arrived and the party is in full swing. With formalities out the way this is usually a very relaxed part for all and having a magician entertain can provide a very memorable experience for all. A magician can mingle with guests and even perform a small show which will always include the wedding couple.
So, that’s the pros in hiring a magician, what about the cons.
Firstly, the cost. Hiring a decent professional close up is not cheap and would usually set you back in the region of five hundred pounds for a couple of hours. If you have the budget, then do it.
You also have to consider that booking a good, no great, magician, with a lot of experience and great testimonials AND the right personality will likely take you time to find. I cannot stress how important it is to find the right magician for your big day. Yes, it will take some research on the internet, a few phonecals and maybe even seeing a few in action at some wedding fayres, but it will be worth it to take away the stress on the day knowing your guests are being entertained as you wish them to be.
So, in conclusion, if you have the money and time to find a magician that you know will meet the expectations you have then book one. For years to come your guests will likely talk about “that magician” which will bring a smile to your face.
