That extra bit of sparkle! ✨

Chris has been one of the talking points since our wedding! Everyone loved him and he kept up the excitement between the ceremony and the meal with an unexpected treat that we'd managed to keep a secret. Chris blended into the crowd and the stories I've heard from our guests have all been about how amazed they were - and tricks that I saw were jaw-dropping! I'd highly recommend Chris for your wedding or event. Thank you Chris, we had the best day and you gave it that extra bit of sparkle ✨

Our guests still remember him!

Having Chris perform at our wedding was fantastic and one of the highlights of the day. It's a great way to keep the guests entertained while we were off having our wedding photos done. Chris has a charm and friendly manner allowing him to mingle with the guests and capture people's excitement. His magic is absolutely amazing, truly an expert and to this day, years after the event, our friends and family can still tell stories of the tricks and performances they saw.

Wow, what a performer!

Chris performed at our daughter's wedding this summer, and he had the room in the palm of his hand. The card magic was phenomenal, and Chris's character, well he is charm personified.

Jaw Dropping Magic

We had Chris perform at our wedding a few years ago and we are SO pleased we made the booking, he was a brilliant addition to our big day. Chris left everyone’s jaws dropping and our guests speak about his tricks even now! Highly, highly recommend booking Chris.. sooner rather than later!

A Real Party Starter

Our wedding took place within the constraints of Covid-19 restrictions, limiting our guests to 30 people. Within that was the photographer and the registrar. We chose to include Chris's entertainment within that number too, and we are glad we did. His excellent magic and great sense of humour lifted the atmosphere of the socially distanced wedding beginning. He performed a show for us at the top table too! What a compère!

Master of Ceremonies

Amazing Talent! Chris performed at our wedding blowing our friends and family away along with carrying out the introductions as the master of ceremonies and opening act before the speeches. Professional and skilled, will definitely be looking to book him again.

Small wedding, big impression

Dear Chris, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for attending our wedding and being the highlight of the day. It was the 2nd wedding for Bob and me, in our silver-haired years, so we chose a smaller room in the venue with only our closest friends and family there. You entertained all of our guests, from Charlie (aged 8) to Jean (aged 98)! We wished we had booked you for longer, but we can always have you to our anniversary party!

It was in the confetti!

Chris was a superb addition to our wedding! I had reservations about hiring a magician as I didn't know what to expect. Chris put my nerves at rest with a Zoom call in the planning stages, then again with his incredible performances and emcee-ing throughout the day. He performed a show for us before the speeches. My husband's new ring disappeared and then it was in the pack of confetti, he didn't even touch it! We highly recommend Chris for EVERY wedding!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

When I was on holiday in Mexico and by chance I was booked to perform that week an hour away from where I was staying. It was a phenomenal wedding, all guests wearing white, in a hotel on the beach.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Friendly, elegant, organised, fun, magical

What about your business are you most proud of?

My emcee packages are wonderful. They give magic throughout the day, adding a touch of showbiz to a couple's special day.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Write down all of the details. Not just the timings, but even who is responsible for the cake knife.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I loved how a bride dedicated her speech to her mother, giving her bouquet and then raising a toast to mothers everywhere.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Upon confirming that they want me as their emcee, we arrange a video call to discuss the plans and order of the day. I send over a 15-page document for the to fill in, this helps them plan their day which, in turn, takes the stress out of the process. I am available for regular calls up to the big day.

What is your No.1 top tip for keeping a crowd entertained?

Be in control and excitable at the same time. Speak to the back of the room so you engage everyone in the room. Speak slowly and clearly.

Where is the most memorable place you have performed?

In a castle atop a mountain in an Italian wine district. The views were breathtaking, and made for a great backdrop for my show!

Have you had any interesting surprises at a wedding?

A couple secretly brought in pyrotechnics, without telling me or the venue. I'll let your imagination fill in the action that followed.

What is your party trick?

My whole career is full of tricks. I have a show that I perform on superyachts and my finalé there is a ocean-based version of what I perform at a wedding.
