Richard Jones · Wedding entertainment
Close-up magic, a room-wide show, professional emcee hosting — or a combination built around your timings, venue and guests.
Why it works
The best wedding magic does not interrupt the day. It fits into the parts that already exist.
Guests arrive from different parts of your life. Some know one another, many do not. During photographs, drinks, room turnarounds and those little gaps before the next big moment, Richard creates reactions, laughter and an instant shared conversation.
There is no need to stop the wedding and make everybody “watch the magician”. The magic becomes part of the celebration, not a pause in it.
Choose the right format
Book Richard for one focused part of the day, or combine close-up magic, a shared show and hosting into one joined-up experience.
Close-up magic
Richard performs for small groups during the drinks reception, photographs, room turnaround or between courses. It breaks the ice quickly and gives guests from different sides of the wedding something genuinely surprising to share.
Ideal for: arrivals · drinks reception · photographs · wedding breakfast
A show for the room
A focused performance for everybody at once can lift the energy before the speeches, bridge a room turnaround or create a memorable centrepiece after dinner. The length and feel can be built around your schedule.
Ideal for: before speeches · after dinner · room-wide entertainment
Professional emcee
Richard can handle introductions, announcements and important transitions while keeping the tone warm and natural. Magic can be woven into the hosting so it all feels like one experience rather than separate pieces of entertainment.
Ideal for: announcements · introductions · speeches · all-day flow
Where Richard fits
There is no fixed “magic slot”. These are simply the places Richard is most often useful.
Get conversations moving while everybody settles in and waits for the couple or photographs to finish.
Fill one of the natural waiting points of the day without making it feel like anybody is waiting.
Close-up magic around tables or a room-wide performance can lift the energy before the speeches.
Hosting, introductions and evening guest arrivals can all be handled as part of the same booking.
Magic + emcee
For couples who want more than a short performance, Richard can become part of the running of the day itself.
He can welcome guests, make the important announcements, introduce the wedding party and speeches, manage transitions and keep everybody aware of what is happening next — while still creating moments of magic along the way.
The result is structure without stiffness: somebody experienced has hold of the room, but it never feels like a corporate conference has wandered into your wedding.
Ask about wedding hostingThe useful bit
You do not need to know whether you want “two hours of close-up”, a show, an emcee package or a mixture of everything before you enquire.
Send Richard’s team your date, venue and rough timings. They can recommend where Richard would add the most value without making the entertainment take over the wedding.
