8 Reasons to Book a Magician for Your Wedding Day

In Blog by Roberto Forzoni

When planning a wedding, most couples prioritise the venue, photographer, and, of course, the dress. Entertainment often gets left until last — yet surveys show 80% of brides said the entertainment was the most memorable part of their day.

Booking a magician isn’t just about filling time — it’s about creating an unforgettable atmosphere that your guests will talk about for years. At Forzoni Magic, I’ve performed at weddings across London, Kent, and internationally, and the reactions are always the same: laughter, astonishment, and unforgettable memories. Don’t just take my word for it — my Google Reviews are filled with couples and guests describing their wedding magic experience as the highlight of the day.

Here are eight powerful reasons why you should consider hiring a wedding magician:

1. Magic Turns Quiet Moments into Highlights

There are natural lulls at weddings — during photos, between courses, or while waiting for evening guests. A close-up magician transforms these moments into highlights, entertaining groups with impossible feats of mind-reading and sleight of hand. Instead of waiting, your guests will be amazed, laughing, and fully engaged.


2. Creates a Magical Atmosphere

The wedding reception often brings together people from different social circles. Magic breaks the ice instantly, sparking conversations and shared laughter. The sense of wonder spreads, creating a warm, fun, and magical atmosphere that flows from the drinks reception right through to the evening party.


3. An Incredible Icebreaker

Sitting next to strangers at a wedding breakfast can feel awkward — until the magician arrives at the table. Close-up magic offers a shared experience that instantly unites guests. Whether it’s reading someone’s mind or making their signed card appear in an impossible place, magic gives everyone a talking point.


4. Stress-Free Entertainment

Unlike DJs, bands, or significant acts, magicians don’t need stages or complex setups. I can move easily between groups indoors or outdoors, bringing magic directly to your guests wherever they are. Couples love the peace of mind this brings — knowing their guests are entertained without any logistical headaches.


5. A Unique & Memorable Experience

Most guests have never seen a professional magician perform live and up close. Weddings are the perfect opportunity to give them that once-in-a-lifetime experience. The interactive nature of magic means guests aren’t just watching, they’re part of the entertainment — and they’ll remember it forever.

6. Flexibility for Any Part of the Day

Whether you’d like magic during the reception, between courses at the wedding breakfast, or even a short after-dinner performance, a professional magician adapts seamlessly to your schedule. Many couples book me to cover multiple parts of the day, ensuring the magic continues from start to finish.


7. Perfect Photography Moments

Those moments of wide eyes, jaws dropping, and guests gasping in disbelief are a gift to wedding photographers and videographers. Having a magician at your wedding guarantees candid, emotional, and unforgettable photos. Your wedding album won’t just show posed smiles, but absolute astonishment and joy.


8. Entertainment That Appeals to All Ages

From grandparents to children, magic has universal appeal. It’s one of the few forms of entertainment that truly works for every generation, keeping everyone included and entertained.
