Top 5 Things to Think About When Deciding Your Wedding Date

planning wedding date

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and choosing the right date is crucial to making sure everything goes smoothly. There are a few key factors to consider when selecting your wedding date, so here are the top 5 things to think about:

  1. Season and Weather
    The time of year will significantly affect the atmosphere and overall experience of your wedding day. If you’re hoping for an outdoor ceremony, you may want to avoid the unpredictable weather of certain months. Some seasons, like spring and fall, offer mild temperatures, while summer can be hotter and winter can be more unpredictable. Don’t forget to take into account your guests’ comfort too!
  2. Availability of Key People
    Your wedding date should take into consideration the availability of the most important people in your life. This includes immediate family members, bridal party, and even the officiant. If a specific person is important to your wedding day, make sure to ask them if they have any potential scheduling conflicts ahead of time.
  3. Holidays and Long Weekends
    While long weekends and holidays might seem like a perfect choice for a wedding, you should also weigh the pros and cons. Many people travel or make plans during these times, so securing your ideal venue or a good deal on vendors could be more challenging. However, these dates can also give you more flexibility for your guest list and travel arrangements.
  4. Wedding Vendor Availability
    If there’s a particular wedding vendor or entertainment option you have your heart set on, make sure to check their availability first. Popular vendors may already be booked months or even a year in advance, especially for busy wedding seasons. Book early to avoid disappointment.

  5. Anniversary or Personal Significance
    Some couples like to choose a wedding date that holds special meaning. This could be an anniversary, the day you first met, or a meaningful holiday. However, make sure that this doesn’t conflict with other important events or make travel difficult for your guests. A date with personal significance can add a layer of sentimentality to your celebration.

Choosing the right wedding date is about balance and planning ahead. Consider your priorities, your family, your guests, and what will make you happiest!

5 Reasons Why Magic is Perfect for Corporate Events

Corporate events are all about making a lasting impression, boosting morale, and creating an unforgettable experience for your team, clients, or business partners. Whether you’re hosting a conference, team-building session, or holiday party, choosing the right entertainment can be key to setting the right tone. While there are plenty of options out there, one form of entertainment stands out for its ability to captivate, engage, and leave your guests talking long after the event is over: Magic. Here are five reasons why magic is perfect for corporate events.

1. It Breaks the Ice and Sparks Conversations

At corporate events, whether it’s a networking dinner, a product launch, or a team-building activity, people can sometimes feel a bit reserved or hesitant. Magic is a great icebreaker. A magician’s close-up magic or sleight-of-hand tricks immediately capture attention, spark curiosity, and create a sense of wonder among guests. This shared experience encourages attendees to relax and interact with each other. Suddenly, people who might not have otherwise mingled are engaging in conversation about the magic they’ve just witnessed. Magic helps foster a more relaxed and open environment where connections are made and conversations flow easily.

2. It Appeals to a Wide Range of Audiences

One of the best things about magic is its universal appeal. Whether your corporate event is for employees, clients, or business partners, magic transcends age, background, and interests. It’s not about the latest trends or specific hobbies—magic is something everyone can appreciate. Kids and adults alike are captivated by illusions, sleight-of-hand tricks, and mentalism. In a business setting, magic is ideal because it provides entertainment that is engaging without being too distracting or divisive. It’s perfect for a variety of corporate settings, from an informal team lunch to a formal evening gala.

3. It’s Unique and Memorable

In the world of corporate events, it’s easy to fall into the trap of predictable entertainment: live bands, DJ sets, or generic team-building activities. Magic, on the other hand, is unexpected and memorable. Guests at your event will remember the mind-blowing illusions, the mystery of how things appeared and disappeared, and the way they felt when they were part of something magical. A skilled magician can tailor their performance to your event’s theme or goals, creating a bespoke experience that stands out from the usual entertainment options. The next time your team or clients attend a corporate event, they’ll remember your magic performance long after they’ve left.

4. It Can Be Tailored to Your Event’s Needs

A magician can adapt their performance to suit any aspect of your corporate event, whether it’s a small team-building exercise or a large-scale product launch. From close-up magic at dinner tables to stage performances for a larger audience, magic can be seamlessly integrated into any part of your event. Here are just a few examples:

  • Close-up magic for cocktail receptions or networking sessions, where the magician moves from group to group performing intimate tricks right in front of guests.
  • Cabaret or stage magic for large gatherings, where the magician can entertain the entire audience with jaw-dropping illusions.
  • Custom corporate magic where the magician can incorporate your brand, product, or service into the performance, creating a truly personalized experience.

No matter what your event needs, magic can be adapted to fit the atmosphere and goals of your corporate gathering.

5. It Boosts Team Engagement and Morale

Magic doesn’t just entertain—it inspires. When you bring a magician into a corporate event, it can have a powerful impact on your team’s morale and engagement. The excitement and curiosity that magic generates are contagious. When employees or clients see something impossible happening right before their eyes, it sparks a sense of wonder and amazement. This shared experience encourages people to feel more positive and connected to each other. It’s a reminder that, just like magic, there are often unexpected surprises and opportunities in business. This can lead to a greater sense of enthusiasm, creativity, and camaraderie among your team members.

Conclusion: Magic Adds the WOW Factor to Your Corporate Event

Magic is more than just entertainment; it’s an experience that can captivate, engage, and inspire. It creates connections, sparks conversations, and leaves your guests with a sense of wonder and excitement. Whether you’re looking to break the ice, create a memorable experience, or simply add an unexpected twist to your corporate event, hiring a magician is the perfect choice. By incorporating magic into your corporate event, you can ensure your guests leave with lasting memories and an appreciation for the magic of possibility—both in business and beyond.

The Importance of Transport for Your Wedding Party: Why Every Detail Counts

Planning a wedding involves countless details, from the flowers to the venue, and one often-overlooked aspect is transportation. I recently met Kate at Lucky Penny Weddings, she is just as passionate about transport as I am about entertainment. I thought I would share with you why arranging transport for your bridal party and groomsmen is essential to ensure your big day goes off without a hitch.

 

1. Setting the Tone for the Day

The right vehicle can enhance the overall aesthetic of your wedding. Whether you opt for a vintage classic car or a sleek modern ride, your choice of transport contributes to the visual narrative of your special day. These vehicles not only serve a practical purpose but also add an element of style and sophistication, creating stunning photo opportunities that will be cherished for years to come.

2. Comfort and Convenience

Wedding days can be hectic, and having reliable transportation helps keep stress at bay. By providing comfortable, spacious vehicles for your bridal party and groomsmen, you ensure they can relax and enjoy the day. No one wants to worry about finding parking or navigating traffic; pre-arranged transport allows everyone to focus on celebrating with you.

3. Timeliness is Key

Your wedding schedule is a finely tuned machine, and every moment counts. Having dedicated transport ensures that your bridal party arrives at the ceremony and reception on time, eliminating the risk of delays that could disrupt your carefully planned timeline. With professional drivers familiar with the area, you can rest easy knowing that everyone will arrive when they’re supposed to.

4. A Unique Experience

Choosing unique vehicles from Lucky Penny Weddings not only makes for great photos but also provides an unforgettable experience for your bridal party. Whether it’s cruising in a vintage VW bus or a stylish convertible, these rides become part of the celebration. It’s a chance for your friends and family to bond, share laughs, and create memories before the ceremony even begins.

5. Safety First

Weddings often involve celebrations that can lead to heightened emotions, and having dedicated transport ensures the safety of your bridal party. Professional drivers are trained to handle the roads and any unexpected challenges, allowing your loved ones to enjoy the festivities without the worry of getting home safely after the reception.

6. Personal Touches

Transport can be personalized to reflect your wedding theme or style. From ribbons and flowers to custom signage, you can add a personal touch to your vehicles. This not only makes your transport unique but also enhances the overall decor of your wedding, creating a cohesive look that ties everything together.

7. A Fun Element

Let’s face it: weddings are fun! Incorporating unique vehicles adds an element of excitement to your day. Imagine the joy of hopping into a vintage convertible with your closest friends or taking a leisurely ride in a retro bus. It’s not just about getting from point A to point B; it’s about making memories along the way.

Enjoy the Carnival Experience at Thorpe Park this summer.

I spent last weekend at Thorpe Park but not as a visitor to the fabulous rides, as an entertainer for part of the Carnival Experience.

The Carnival Experience is running throughout the summer and is in it’s second year, back by popular demand. You can go to the designated areas and experience fun circus style entertainment featuring high-energy Free Runners, mind-bending Contortionists, nail-biting Hoop Divers, magnificent Aerial Artists and of course some amazing magic on stage or in one of the tents if it decides to rain on the day – these acts are sure to blow your mind.

I will be performing again in August for a few dates but the full line up is there every day all through the Sumer period. It is a really fun addition to the park and I just know you will have the most amazing time. If you come on a date I’m performing, please come and say hello.

Karen was celebrating a very special birthday…

Making every booking special, like it’s my only one for the year. I realise how special every event is and always make sure I not only perform some amazing magic which people will remember for a very long time, but I also make sure, you the booker, or the birthday/celebratory is made to feel extra special too.

Because I am an inventor of magic (really i’m a real wizard) I can bespoke my magic to not only your event, but also to that special someone.

[Entertaining Children at your Wedding] Having fun with magic

I know exactly what children and their parents enjoy.

I will admit right now I am not a ‘Childrens Entertainer’….I can entertain children for sure and I love it…read on for more…, but I do not put on shows solely for children at childrens parties, that takes a very specific style and repertoire.

I can ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE though, that if children are at a wedding I have been booked to entertain all for, they will not only have an amazing time with me, but will learn a magic trick to show the adults.

I love children, I have two of my own who may be a little older now, but haven’t forgotten the wonder of magic.

A wedding is a long day for anyone, especially the young. Breaking up the day with activities really helps and my fun magic style is always a great hit. If you book me for any package, I offer a little extra for the children. Let me know how many children are likely to attend and I make sure each gets to keep a special magic wand.

I tailor my magic for the age of my audience

It’s important as an entertainer to understand my audience, children react very well to visual magic, simple to follow that is colourful and fun. I will not perform card tricks for them, that’s boring ‘to children’.

When given the magic wand, I encourage them to use it during my performance, involving them in my magic they feel part of the action. I will of course include parents and build the trusting relationship needed so the children feel comfortable and relaxed, able to let go and enjoy it fully. I am very aware and if a child is slightly shy will pay attention to them in an understanding way, often a shy child after a few minutes with me will become and enjoy being the centre of attention. I then teach each child a little trick using their magic wand, which I then encourage them to go and show the adults. This is a really fun way to not only involve them but also makes them feel even more special.

The important thing to remember is everyone at your wedding is important…you know that I know, but it’s vital anyone supplying a service to you for your wedding understands that too…and I do.

I am at your wedding to help make the day MEMORABLE FOR ALL…you can be assured I will do exactly that.

[Entertain the Whole Wedding Party] A great idea which gets everyone laughing

I can’t believe I get to have this much fun at Weddings!!!

If you have been to a few weddings yourself, you have probably ‘sat through’ the standard Wedding Breakfast – the meal after the Drinks Reception. I say ‘sat through’ because if it is not thought about properly, this period can be quite mundane. The Drinks Reception was ok, group photos, canapé, drinks, chatting among family and friends. Now comes the Wedding Breakfast where a three course meal is served and the speeches come at the end of this period before evening guests arrive and the party starts.

If nothing else is going on, certainly if nothing much happened during the drinks also, this can be quite a long time for small talk and you will notice the energy levels flagging slightly……and this is where I come in.

groom attention

 

 

My Wedding Breakfast Package can include CABARET PERFORMANCE to the WHOLE ROOM.

Over the years I have gained vast experience in stage and cabaret magic, performing for intimate events with smaller numbers up to large corporate events with 1,000+ guests. Running my own monthly show along with my good friend Sylar, performing at guests spots in London and offering cabaret for smaller parties I have realised this style of magic is perfect for the Wedding Breakfast.

My style and the type of magic I perform really gets the crowd going, everyone is energised….think about that, EVERYONE IS ENERGISED!
Why is that important, simple, THE SPEECHES. The last thing you want when you are either listening or giving a speech, is a room full of lethargy, it will reflect throughout and not make a memorable time for anyone.

When I perform, you can feel the level rise, the laughter, the gasps of amazement, the head scratching, it’s all there and of course the applause. By the time the speeches happen, once I have performed, everyone has been applauding and ready to repeat this throughout, I can create an amazing atmosphere.

Whether you want to include yourselves, father of the bride, ‘stitch-up the best man’ for maximum laughter and effect, I have something to offer every scenario. Message me below to find out more.
