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.

I’m a Yorkshire-based wedding magician with many years of experience entertaining at weddings of all sizes and styles. My performance style is friendly, professional and relaxed, allowing the magic to blend naturally into your day rather than feeling like a staged performance.

​

I specialise in modern close-up magic performed right in front of your guests - often in their own hands - creating genuine reactions of astonishment and delight. With extensive experience performing at Ripon wedding venues, I understand how to adapt to different layouts, timings and atmospheres so everything flows effortlessly.

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. Whether you’re celebrating in a grand setting or a relaxed rural venue just outside the city, I ensure the magic fits naturally with your surroundings and style.

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.
