MAGICAL ENTERTAINMENT FOR YOUR WHITBY WEDDING

​

​

​

 

If you’re planning a wedding in Whitby and want to give your guests something unforgettable, close-up magic is the perfect way to add excitement, laughter and genuinely memorable moments. I’m Mark Waddington, a professional wedding magician with over 20 years of experience performing across Yorkshire, including countless weddings in and around the Whitby area.

​

My friendly, relaxed and polished performing style blends seamlessly into your day, giving your guests magical memories to talk about long after the last dance.

Why Hire a Wedding Magician for Your Whitby Celebration?

 

 

Your wedding day naturally includes moments when guests are arriving, mingling, waiting for photos or transitioning between parts of the day. A magician enhances every one of these stages by keeping the atmosphere fun, warm and engaging. During your drinks reception, I mingle with groups creating laughter, shared reactions and amazed expressions. If you’re away having photos taken, I keep the energy high so guests stay entertained.

​

During the wedding breakfast or evening reception, I create magical moments at tables and around the room that bring all ages together. Working throughout Whitby and the Yorkshire coast means I understand local venues, timings and the natural flow of coastal weddings, which helps everything run smoothly and naturally.

Meet Mark Waddington – Your Whitby Wedding Magician

 

 

I’m based in North Yorkshire and frequently perform at weddings across Whitby, Scarborough, Filey and the surrounding areas. I’m recognised as an Associate of The Magic Circle (with Silver Star), and I’ve received multiple awards for Wedding Entertainer of the Year in the North of England. My approach is polished and personable, combining humour with strong sleight-of-hand to deliver magic that feels modern, relaxed and genuinely astonishing.

​

This isn’t a staged performance that interrupts your day; it’s close-up magic woven naturally around your guests in a way that feels effortless and never intrusive. With hundreds of weddings behind me every year, I know how to read a room, adapt to your timings and make sure the entertainment enhances your day rather than competing with it. 

​

Whether your Whitby venue is a historic Castle setting like Sneaton Castle, a seaside hotel like Grand Villa Heights, a countryside barn like Danby Castle, or a charming local wedding venue, I bring that unforgettable “wow” factor your guests will remember.

What You’ll Experience When You Book Me for Your Whitby Wedding

 

 

When you book a Whitby wedding magician, you want someone who understands your day, your guests and your venue. I start with a friendly consultation to get a clear picture of your plans, timings and the feel you want to create. I then fit seamlessly into the part of the day you choose, whether that’s the drinks reception, the wedding breakfast or your evening celebration.

​

My close-up magic travels naturally around the room, engaging your guests face-to-face and creating real moments of surprise and joy. With extensive experience performing at Whitby venues, I understand how to work with different lighting, layouts and timings so everything flows without disruption. From the moment you enquire to the moment I leave your guests buzzing with excitement, you can expect reliable, professional service that takes entertainment off your worry list entirely.

Whitby Wedding Venues Where I Perform

 

Whitby offers an incredible variety of wedding settings — from coastal hotels with stunning sea views to historic abbey locations and charming country estates. I’ve worked across many of them, and that local experience helps your entertainment run effortlessly. I understand how Whitby weddings flow, including managing outdoor spaces, transitions between indoor and outdoor areas and the special character of seaside celebrations.

What Couples Say

 

 

Couples across Yorkshire consistently praise the combination of charm, humour and mind-blowing sleight-of-hand that I bring to their big day. Many describe the magic as one of the most talked-about parts of their wedding, with guests bringing it up years later. Feedback often highlights how effortlessly I fit into the day, how relaxed and fun the atmosphere becomes and how amazed guests are by the magic right under their noses.
