Wedding Entertainment Packages: 5 Tips for a Magical Day

The right wedding entertainment package makes a real difference to your day. Close-up magic for your guests during the day, followed by the Magic Mirror photo booth in the evening, keeps everyone entertained, wherever in the UK you are getting married.

Planning a wedding involves a lot of moving parts, but choosing the right entertainment is one of the most important decisions you will make, because it decides whether your guests are entertained from the moment they arrive until the final dance. Many couples book a DJ or a band, but the weddings guests remember most offer entertainment that is interactive, personal and surprising.

I have seen first hand how the right entertainment changes the atmosphere of a wedding. That is why my wedding entertainment packages bring together close-up magic and the fun of the Magic Mirror photo booth. Booking them together as one package does more than save you effort. It gives your guests the same high energy right through the day. Here is why this combination works so well.

1. Entertainment that covers every part of the day

One of the biggest challenges in wedding planning is managing the lulls: the times when guests are waiting for photos or for the room to be turned around. A wedding entertainment package covers every moment.

The daytime magic

I specialise in close-up magic and mind reading. I mingle with your guests during the drinks reception and in the natural gaps around the wedding breakfast, into the early evening. It is the perfect icebreaker, and it gets strangers talking and laughing straight away.

The evening spark

As the evening reception begins, the Magic Mirror photo booth takes centre stage for an evening session. It brings a completely different kind of energy: interactive, silly and social. With magic in the day and the Mirror at night, there is never a quiet moment when the energy dips.

2. More than just a photo: the Magic Mirror

The Magic Mirror is not the same as your photographer. Your photographer captures the beauty of the day, and the Magic Mirror captures the fun. It is not just a camera behind a screen. It is a full-length, interactive touch screen.

• Interactive animations: the mirror talks to your guests with fun prompts and personalised messages.
• Instant keepsakes: guests get high-quality printed photos in seconds.
• Digital sharing: every photo has a QR code, so guests can download their photos and share them on social media straight away.
• The personal touch: guests can sign their names or add emojis on the screen before the photo prints.

3. A keepsake to treasure: the photo album and guest book

With the Magic Mirror you are not just getting tricks and photos. You are building a collection of memories. I print two copies of every Magic Mirror session: one for your guest to keep and one for your photo album and guest book, where your guests can leave a handwritten message next to their photo.

To take it a step further, I also offer an Audio Guestbook. It is a retro-style telephone that lets your guests record heartfelt, funny or sentimental voice messages as the day goes on. By the end of the night, you have a record in pictures and in voices of exactly how much fun your guests had.

4. Why a package is good value

Booking separate suppliers for magic, a photo booth and a guest book means several deposits, several contracts and several people to coordinate on the day. A package gives you:

• One booking: the magic and the Magic Mirror together, rather than separate specialists. The Magic Mirror is part of Twilight Entertainment and The Full Wedding Package, or £325 when booked on its own, and you can see how the packages compare on my packages page.
• One person coordinating: I handle the arrangements for both the magic and the Mirror, so the day is stress-free for you.
• Peace of mind: I am fully insured and a member of Equity, the performers’ union, which gives you and your venue confidence.

5. Entertainment for every generation

The beauty of a wedding entertainment package is that it works for everyone. Children are mesmerised by the visual magic, while adults are baffled by the mind reading. Later in the evening, the Magic Mirror draws in everyone from the bridesmaids to the grandparents, all trying on props and striking a pose.
