Wedding Packages
Make Your Big Day Unforgettable with Magical Moments
Add wonder, laughter, and amazement to your wedding with Jack Shields – the North West’s wedding magician.
My Wedding Magic Packages
I keep it simple. One part, two parts, or the Full Day Experience – pick what fits your day best.
No cheesy tricks. No awkward jokes. Just sharp, modern magic that gets big reactions and brings your guests to life.
Package ONE
Drinks Reception OR Room Turnover
Option 1: Drinks Reception
From after the ceremony to the wedding breakfast.
This is where the magic begins. Everyone’s arriving, settling in, and getting to know one another – you want the atmosphere to feel effortless and exciting from the start. While you’re off having photos, I’ll take care of your guests. I move between groups with relaxed, modern close-up magic that gets people talking.
It’s the perfect icebreaker. No awkward silences, just full of laughter and excitement to get your guests in the mood for the celebration ahead.
Option 2: Room Turnover
From after the food until the first dance.
After some great food and a few drinks, the pace of the day can dip, and the room needs resetting for the evening after the meal. This is a crucial time to keep things moving and make sure the energy doesn’t fizzle out. While your venue transforms behind the scenes, I’ll step in to entertain your day guests and help to incorporate the people arriving for the evening.
Engaging, high-impact magic that keeps everyone energised, involved and ready for the evening to kick off in style.
Package TWO
Drinks Reception AND Room Turnover
These are the two parts of the day where there are potential lulls, and where magic can have the biggest impact.
My couple’s most popular package choice, from that first glass of fizz to the cake cut and first dance. I’ll be there for BOTH of the options from package one. From warming everyone up during the drinks reception to keeping the energy high while the room’s being turned around, I’ll be there to make sure your day flows seamlessly on either side of your wedding breakfast.
No awkward lulls, no guests left standing around, just constant atmosphere, great reactions, and a proper buzz.
Package THREE
The Full Day Experience
For couples who want to ensure every moment of their wedding is filled with wonder, the Full Day Experience covers it all. I’ll be with you from the first drink to the first dance, providing seamless entertainment that enhances every part of your day.
From the lively drinks reception, between courses during the wedding breakfast, and all the way to the room turnover – I’ll keep the atmosphere buzzing and your guests engaged through the lot.
This package also includes a feature performance, whether it’s during the wedding breakfast, before speeches, or even as a surprise after dinner, this performance will stand out as an unforgettable part of your day. I can involve a special guest from your wedding – the best man, maid of honour, uncle kn*b head, or even the happy couple if you’re up for it!
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all show. You’ll never see the same performance twice, and it’s guaranteed to be nothing like anyone else’s wedding entertainment. It’s your moment to add a bit of personality and magic that truly reflects you and your day.
I’ll also take care of any light hosting and announcements to ensure your day flows seamlessly, leaving you free to enjoy every moment.
It’s the perfect choice if you want to ensure your day feels connected, elevated and full of energy all the way through.
FAQs
Why should I book a magician for my wedding?
Wedding planners always highlight the importance of keeping guests engaged during the in-between bits, and a magician does just that.
Weddings can be long days, and if you don’t have anything going on, people start checking their watches, wondering when the food’s arriving or how long until the evening celebrations begin. Book me and I’ll guarantee there won’t be any noticeable lulls while I’m around.
What sets you apart from other magicians?
For several years now, I’ve exclusively performed at weddings, tailoring what I do to seamlessly fit the unique flow of a wedding day. I’m not just a magician, I’m a professional wedding magician.
It’s crucial to choose suppliers who are not only exceptionally good at what they do, but also fit in with your closest friends and family. A great entertainer knows how to make everyone feel at ease, never awkward or uncomfortable.
It’s my job to get to know your guests’ personalities, bring them all closer together, and keep your celebrations flowing smoothly, making sure everyone is having the time of their lives! And I’m very good at it.
What does a wedding magician cost?
When it comes to your wedding, you want to book entertainment that will truly elevate your day without any added stress.
Booking me does require an investment in quality, but trust me, I’ve seen it all, and it’s worth it to get it right. My packages start at £695, and you can save your date with a 25% deposit.
Don’t settle for anything less than extraordinary – your wedding deserves the best.
How far in advance should we book you for our wedding?
I only accept a limited number of bookings each year. Once you’ve nailed down your date and venue, I recommend booking as far ahead as you can to guarantee availability, particularly for sought-after dates during peak wedding seasons.
Some people book a year or two in advance, others chance it at 6 months or so, but I hate having to break the news to couples that I’m already booked, especially if they enquired months before but never saved their date. So don’t leave it too late!
Does it matter how many guests we have at our wedding?
I’ve got plenty of experience performing at weddings of all sizes, from intimate gatherings of 30 or less to large celebrations with hundreds of guests. No matter the crowd, together we will make sure everyone has the best experience.
Can you entertain guests of all ages, including children and elderly relatives?
My magic routines are mostly geared towards adults, but I’ve got more than enough tricks up my sleeve to make sure the entertainment I provide appeals to guests of all ages, from the little ones to your more experienced guests and everyone in between.
How long will you be with us?
Your plans and choice of my wedding magic packages will shape how I will enhance your day. Whichever option you choose, I’ll be there as long as I’m needed to ensure everything flows perfectly.
For the ultimate experience and seamless coverage, I recommend the full package. It guarantees your day unfolds effortlessly from start to finish, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy your celebration without any added stress.
What happens if our wedding runs behind schedule?
Weddings can be unpredictable, and sometimes things don’t go according to plan. We do just the right amount of planning beforehand, so if things do run a bit late, I can adjust my performances to fit seamlessly into your day.
Your happiness is my top priority, I’ll be there to make sure everything goes smoothly so you can relax and enjoy your day.
What if we've already booked other hosts or entertainers for our wedding?
I’m all about teamwork, and I’ve worked with every kind of wedding supplier you can imagine.
Whether I’m adding something more interactive for your guests alongside background singers or musicians, or I’m teaming up with someone you’ve chosen to host your day, you can count on me to work seamlessly with your other suppliers to enhance the overall impact of your wedding entertainment and make it a day to remember for everyone.
Do you only work at specific venues?
I’ve had the pleasure of performing at a wide range of venues, each with its own special vibe and charm. Whether it’s a classic banquet hall, a rustic barn, a picturesque outdoor setting, or even a unique destination wedding, I’m ready to bring the magic to wherever your celebration takes place.
I’ll work closely with you and the venue coordinators to make sure everything is set for an amazing experience that perfectly suits your chosen location. Here are some venues I’ve worked at recently:

Whether it’s walk-around magic, close-up magic at tables or a stand-up performance in front of everyone, you don’t have to worry about a thing!
I’ll work with your venue coordinators beforehand, and on the day, to ensure everything is set up, leaving you free to enjoy every second.
