A Magical Atmosphere

A Magical Atmosphere

Q We will be having guests of all ages attend our wedding and we are thinking of hiring a magician to keep them entertained. What should we keep in mind before booking a supplier?
A Luke Gravett says: As weddings are often family affairs, there are usually guests of all ages attending, from the young to the old! It's always a good idea to find a magician who is family-friendly, but keep in mind that not all styles of magic are suited to all ages.

Try to meet your magician in person. This way, you will be able to gauge the way they react to you and you can listen to their suggestions as to how they would entertain guests of different ages at your wedding. By meeting them, you will also be able to get an idea of whether their style of magic and personality would be suitable for your special day.

Some magicians will offer a package that includes entertainment for children, so make sure you ask if they offer this service. This might include a separate show for the children or a strolling act like balloon modelling. Close-up magic is often very suitable for guests of all ages, including quite young children, but balloon modelling is a great way of including everyone in the day's activities.

It's always a good idea to look at online reviews. Reviews are not only a reliable indicator of the standard of the magician, but they will also offer an insight into their style and suitability for different ages. Above all, trust your instincts!
