Thinking about wedding entertainment?
Add a magic touch with a wedding magician! Imagine your guests, drinks in hand, laughing, meeting new relatives all because they all witnessed a magic trick together. Before you Google “wedding magician near me,” check out my top 5 tips to hire the perfect magician. While you're busy with photos, your magician will keep guests entertained, breaking the ice and keeping the energy high.
Tip 1: Look for a Magician Who Specializes in Weddings
Not all magicians are created equal. You need someone who understands the vibe of a wedding—formal, yet fun. An experienced wedding magician knows how to break the ice and leave your guests amazed. Trust me, this is key!
Tip 2: Check Out Their Reviews
Before booking, do a little research. Read reviews and watch testimonial videos if possible. Those are the kinds of reactions you want.
Tip 3: Hire a Magician Who Can Adapt to Your Wedding
Weddings are all about timing. You want a magician who can seamlessly adapt—whether it’s during cocktail hour, between courses or sudden changes - it will happen.
Tip 4: Chat with Them Beforehand
Just like you wouldn’t book a photographer without meeting them first, have a quick call or video chat. This ensures their personality fits with your vibe and gives you confidence you've booked the right person.
Tip 5: Budget Wisely, But Don’t Go Too Cheap
Weddings are costly, but don’t cut corners on entertainment. The cheapest magician won’t always deliver the experience you want. All rates vary per performer and are based on many factors. Some estimates can be around $850-$3000+. Reach out to your performer to get their rates and choose from there.
