Wedding Magician Leeds – Make Your Big Day Truly Magical
If you’re planning a wedding in Leeds and looking for that extra spark to make your guests say “Wow” - you’re in the right place! I’m Mark Waddington, a professional wedding magician with over 20 years’ experience and a passion for creating unforgettable moments. I specialise in close-up magic that fits perfectly into your wedding day in Leeds and the surrounding region.
Why Choose a Wedding Magician in Leeds?
Your wedding day is full of natural transitions, from guests arriving and mingling during the drinks reception to the moments when you slip away for photos, followed by the wedding breakfast and the flow into the evening. A skilled magician enhances each of these phases by keeping the atmosphere lively and engaging. During the drinks reception, I move effortlessly between groups, creating laughter, surprise and genuine moments of awe. If you’re away with your photographer, I keep your guests entertained so the energy never dips. As everyone settles in for the wedding breakfast or later gathers for the evening celebrations, I create shared magical experiences that bring guests of all ages together. And because I work regularly in Leeds and West Yorkshire, I understand the local venues, timings and overall rhythm of the day, which helps everything run smoothly from start to finish.

"We booked Mark for a 2 hour slot to fill the gap while I went to get photos done by the lake. I don’t know what I expected but it wasn’t that. I didn't want to leave to get my photos done, I was to busy enjoying seeing my guests faces as Mark blown their minds. Mark your people skills and knowing how to read a room was impeccable. The magic was another level and it was the best addition we had on our day. Thank you so much”
