Evening Reception Magician
Amazing entertainment for your evening celebration • Packages from £295
Magic for Your Evening Reception
The evening reception is when your wedding really comes alive. Evening guests arrive, the dancing begins, and the party atmosphere kicks in. It's also the perfect time for magic entertainment.
Whether you want to welcome your evening guests with something special, fill the gap before the first dance, or keep the entertainment going during band breaks, an evening magician creates those "wow" moments that make your celebration unforgettable.
We offer both close-up walk-around magic and cabaret stage shows for evening receptions - or a combination of both for the ultimate experience.

When Evening Magic Works Best
Strategic timing for maximum impact
As Evening Guests Arrive
Most Popular Choice
Evening guests haven't experienced the day. Give them an immediate "wow" moment as they arrive. Magic welcomes them into the celebration and gives them something exciting to talk about.
Before the First Dance
Build Anticipation
Create energy and excitement before you take the floor. A short burst of magic gets everyone's attention and builds anticipation for your first dance.
During the Evening Buffet
Entertainment While Eating
If you're having an evening buffet, magic keeps guests entertained while they eat. The magician works the room, visiting groups as they enjoy their food.
During Band/DJ Breaks
Keep the Energy Going
When your band or DJ takes a break, magic keeps the entertainment going. No awkward silences or energy dips - just continuous fun.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we book just for the evening?
Absolutely! Many couples book us specifically for the evening reception. It's a great option if you have entertainment during the day or want to focus your budget on the evening party.
What time should the magician arrive?
We typically arrive 30 minutes before your evening guests to set up and coordinate with your venue. We'll discuss the perfect timing based on your schedule.
Will the magic compete with the DJ/band?
Never! We coordinate with your DJ or band. Walk-around magic happens during quieter moments, and stage shows are scheduled for specific times (like band breaks or before the first dance).
Can we combine evening magic with earlier entertainment?
Yes! Many couples book us for drinks reception, wedding breakfast, AND evening. We offer full-day packages that cover everything at a better rate than booking separately.

Create amazing moments that your guests will remember forever.
