Wedding Host & Wedding Magician
Your wedding day should feel exciting and effortless — not like you're constantly wondering what happens next. As your professional Wedding Host & Wedding Magician, Matthew helps keep everything flowing naturally while making sure you and your guests have an unforgettable time.
From coordinating key moments and making announcements to bringing guests together and performing award-winning close-up magic, Matthew becomes a reassuring presence throughout your celebration — leaving you free to enjoy your day.
Full-Day Wedding Hosting
For couples who want someone looking after the flow of the day from beginning to end.
Matthew helps coordinate the important moments, welcomes and guides your guests, makes announcements and introductions, assists with photographs, hosts your wedding breakfast and speeches, and helps move everything naturally towards the cake cutting and first dance.
Award-winning magic is woven into the day at carefully chosen moments, creating entertainment without your wedding ever feeling over-programmed.
Half-Day Wedding Hosting
Perfect if you want the benefits of a professional Wedding Host for the busiest part of your celebration without full-day coverage.
Matthew can join you for a carefully planned section of the day, combining hosting, coordination and entertainment around your individual timings and priorities.
Every wedding is different, so your hosting can be tailored around the moments where having an experienced pair of hands will make the biggest difference.
Keeping Everything Flowing
Great wedding hosting isn't about constantly being on a microphone. Often, it's the things happening quietly behind the scenes that make the biggest difference.
Matthew helps guests know where they need to be, coordinates key moments, works alongside your venue and suppliers, helps organise photographs and keeps an eye on timings throughout the celebration.
And when little hitches arise, having someone experienced there to help solve them means they don't need to become your problem.
Award-Winning Wedding Magic Included
This is where Matthew's approach to wedding hosting becomes something genuinely different.
Alongside hosting your day, Matthew performs award-winning close-up magic during the moments where it works best — breaking the ice, bringing different groups together and keeping guests entertained during the natural gaps in the day.
The result is a wedding that feels organised and relaxed, but also filled with laughter, interaction and moments your guests will remember long afterwards.
