Your Yorkshire Wedding - November/December 2021 (Issue 51)

FLOWERS 77 MUSIC & ENTERTAINM NT https://toastofleeds.co.uk A TOUCH OF MAGIC Your wedding is set to be a magical day, so what better way would there be to entertain your guests than with a magician. Matt of Matthew J Magic performs in a contemporary style with a classic northern wit to build the atmosphere of your day and set the tone for a fun and memorable experience. The best time for Matt to do his thing is between the service and wedding breakfast when guests are coming and going for group photos etc. He circulates between small groups, drawing people together who may not know each other too well and leaves them with a common experience they can bond over. You’ll hear pockets of people laughing, clapping and gasping in amazement creating that all important buzz in the air. Matt says, “I love performing at the drinks reception as I feel like a kind of warm up act for the speeches, getting people clapping, laughing and joining in ready for the groom, best man and father-of-the-bride’s big moments.” An hour or so at the start of the evening reception also works well to get the party started with new guests arriving. Matthew J Magic | www.matthewjmagic.co.uk TOP TIP! Think of the flow of your wedding day, there will be times when guests are left to mingle and interact with each other whilst you are having your photos taken during drinks receptions and the cocktail hour. Consider hiring a form of entertainment during those time periods such as a musician, magicians, giant lawn games or a glitter station. These will be a good ice-breaker and talking point and will make your guests feel relaxed.
