Top Wedding Entertainment Tips – Expert Answers from ACMAGIC

Choosing the right entertainment for your wedding is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when planning your big day.

As a professional wedding magician based in Manchester, working across Cheshire and the North West, I’m regularly asked the same questions by couples who want to make sure they’re booking the right entertainer.

So, to help you plan with confidence, here are my most frequently asked questions — answered honestly and clearly.

Why Should I Have a Magician at My Wedding?

A wedding magician creates moments that no other entertainment can.

Close-up magic:

✨ Brings guests together✨ Breaks the ice naturally✨ Creates shared experiences✨ Keeps energy high✨ Fills awkward gaps

It turns waiting time into highlight moments.

Rather than guests checking their phones or standing around, they’re laughing, reacting, and enjoying something truly special.

That’s why so many couples say hiring ACMAGIC was one of the best decisions they made.

How Much Do You Charge and How Long Do You Perform?

Every wedding is different.

Pricing depends on:

✔ Number of guests✔ Venue location✔ Timeline✔ Type of performance✔ Coverage required

That’s why I don’t offer “one-size-fits-all” packages.

Instead, I provide a free, no-obligation consultation, where we discuss your plans and design the perfect bespoke experience for your day.

This ensures you get exactly what you need — nothing more, nothing less.

Do You Only Perform Card Tricks?

No.

While card magic is a powerful and popular part of close-up magic, it’s only one element of what I perform.

My performances include:

✨ Mind reading✨ Coin magic✨ Visual illusions✨ Interactive effects✨ Psychological magic

This variety keeps performances fresh, surprising, and engaging for every guest.

When Is the Best Time for a Magician at a Wedding?

The best time for close-up magic is during natural downtime.

Ideal moments include:

✔ After the ceremony (drinks reception)✔ During photo sessions✔ Before or after the wedding breakfast✔ During room turnaround

These are the times when guests are waiting — and that’s when magic works best.

I don’t perform during the meal or late-night party, as close-up magic relies on interaction and attention.

Timing is everything.

Are You Fully Insured to Perform at My Venue?

Yes.

I am fully insured through Equity, one of the UK’s leading organisations for professional performers.

✔ £10 million Public Liability Insurance✔ Documentation available on request✔ Accepted by major venues

This gives you and your venue complete peace of mind.

Are You a Children’s Entertainer?

I’m happy to entertain guests of all ages — and children love close-up magic.

However, I’m not a specialist children’s entertainer.

If you’d like dedicated kids’ entertainment, I recommend booking a professional children’s entertainer alongside my service, such as:

🎈 Balloon modellers🎩 Kids magicians🎨 Activity hosts

I’m always happy to provide trusted recommendations.

Are Travel Costs Included?

Yes — travel and any necessary accommodation are included in your bespoke quote.

Because every venue is different, this is calculated individually to ensure transparency and no hidden fees.

I’m happy to travel anywhere in the UK for the right event.

What Style of Magic Do You Perform at Weddings?

I specialise in close-up “mix and mingle” magic.

This means:

✨ Moving naturally between guests✨ Performing in small groups✨ Creating personal interactions✨ Blending into your reception

It’s relaxed, friendly, and professional — never forced or intrusive.

This style works perfectly as an icebreaker and creates talking points that last for years.

We’ve Been Quoted a Cheaper Price — Can You Match It?

I understand budgets matter.

But your wedding only happens once.

With entertainment, you truly get what you pay for.

Lower prices often mean:

❌ Less experience❌ Limited interaction❌ Generic performances❌ Reduced reliability

Rather than focusing on price alone, I encourage couples to:

✔ Watch my videos✔ Read real reviews✔ View past weddings✔ Speak with previous clients

That gives you the clearest picture of value.
