Wedding Magician North Yorkshire – Magical Entertainment for Your Big Day
​
​
​
​
Planning a wedding in North Yorkshire and looking for unforgettable entertainment for your guests? Close-up magic is a brilliant way to add fun, atmosphere and genuinely memorable moments to your wedding day. I’m Mark Waddington, a professional wedding magician based in Yorkshire, and I regularly perform at weddings throughout North Yorkshire.
​
From elegant country house venues and rustic barn weddings to coastal celebrations and historic locations, close-up magic fits seamlessly into weddings of every style across the county. It creates shared moments of laughter, surprise and amazement that guests remember long after the day itself.
​
​
Why Choose a Wedding Magician for Your North Yorkshire Wedding?
North Yorkshire weddings often take place in beautiful, spacious venues with relaxed schedules and stunning surroundings — and close-up magic works perfectly in that setting. There are always natural pauses during the day: while guests arrive, during photographs, or between different parts of the celebration. A wedding magician fills those moments effortlessly.
​
During the drinks reception, I mingle with guests performing close-up magic that sparks conversation and laughter. Throughout the wedding breakfast and into the evening reception, I create magical moments at tables and around the room, helping to keep the atmosphere lively and engaging without ever interrupting your plans.
​
Whether your wedding is in a rural barn, a luxury hotel, a stately home or a countryside estate, close-up magic enhances the experience and brings people together naturally.

"Mark was our evening entertainment for our wedding in August and he was absolutely incredible. He was such a genuine person, with a hilarious personality and a born entertainer. He had are guests laughing and wondering how he was able to do what he did! Two months on and people are still talking about “the magician”! We could not recommend Mark enough for making our day that extra bit special!"

“We had Mark Waddington perform for our guests during our drinks reception while my wife and I were off having photos taken, he was absolutely brilliant. From start to finish, he kept everyone entertained with incredible close-up magic that left people genuinely amazed. Our guests are still talking about how good he was!
Not only was the magic mind-blowing, but Mark’s personality really shone through – he’s friendly, professional and has a great way of engaging with people of all ages. It gave us peace of mind knowing our guests were being so well looked after while we were away and it created such a fun atmosphere.
We can’t recommend Mark highly enough – he was the perfect addition to our wedding day!”
