Wedding Magician Ripon – Magical Entertainment for Your Big Day

 

 

 

If you’re planning a wedding in Ripon and want to give your guests an experience they’ll genuinely remember, close-up magic is a perfect addition to your day. I’m Mark Waddington, a professional wedding magician performing across Yorkshire, and I regularly entertain at weddings throughout Ripon and the surrounding area.

​

From relaxed mingling during your drinks reception to unforgettable moments of amazement throughout your wedding breakfast and evening celebrations, close-up magic brings laughter, surprise and shared memories that last long after the day itself.

Why Choose a Wedding Magician for Your Ripon Wedding?

 

 

Every wedding day has natural pauses - while guests are arriving, during photographs, or between different parts of the celebration. A wedding magician fills these moments seamlessly, keeping the atmosphere lively and engaging. During your drinks reception, I move among your 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 that bring guests together.

​

Whether your wedding takes place in Ripon itself or in the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside nearby, close-up magic works perfectly in both formal and relaxed settings, enhancing the atmosphere without ever feeling intrusive.

Ripon Wedding Venues Where I Perform

 

 

Ripon offers a fantastic range of wedding venues, from historic buildings to elegant hotels and countryside estates. I’ve performed at weddings across the Ripon area and understand how to work within both intimate spaces and larger venues.

What Couples Say

 

 

Couples regularly tell me that the close-up magic was one of the most talked-about parts of their wedding day. Guests love the relaxed, interactive nature of the entertainment, and many are still discussing the magic years later. It’s those genuine reactions — laughter, surprise and shared amazement — that make close-up magic such a powerful addition to a wedding celebration.

"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!"

 

Evie and Jim

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!”
