Wedding Magician for that after dinner Lull

After Dinner Magic!

After dinner. I go table to table, entertaining your guests while they sit, in that natural lull while the band sets up for the first dance.

No stage needed. No sound system. Very little space.

Wedding magician FAQs

When is the best time to have a magician at a wedding?

Many couples choose the drinks reception. Guests are mingling and photos are being taken. A second spot after dinner keeps energy up.

Will the magic interrupt the flow of the wedding day?

No. I perform among guests in small groups, around speeches, photos and meal service. Share your running order and it slots in smoothly.

How much does a wedding magician cost in Ireland?

Wedding magic is from €550 (off peak). Price depends on length, guest numbers, venue and travel. Send your date and venue for a quote.

How far in advance should we book wedding entertainment?

As soon as your date and venue are confirmed. Popular weekends go early. Use the form to check your date.

Do you perform at weddings outside Cork?

Yes. I’m based in Cork and perform across Cork, Kerry and beyond. Tell me your venue when you enquire.
