Don’t be rushed into booking any wedding supplier.What others recommend might not be the perfect fit for you. I’d highly recommend meeting the supplier and seeing what they do in person.” 6 MAGICIAN Renowned for being one of the UK’s top magicians, Matty Evans has added a new string to his bow with an additional wedding-day service as Your Magical Host. A contemporary twist on the traditional toastmaster, he’ll also bring his blend of comedy, magic and mind-reading to the proceedings.
