Magicians in Northumberland

Hire a magician in Northumberland

Magic gives guests something to talk about for the rest of the day. Across Northumberland, close-up magicians work the drinks reception and the tables at the wedding breakfast, breaking the ice between guests who haven't met before.

Whether your wedding is near Alnwick, Morpeth and Berwick-upon-Tweed or further afield, the magicians here cover the whole of Northumberland. Local venues include Langley Castle, Newton Hall and Ellingham Hall, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Slaley Hall Hotel, Hallington Mill and Charlton Hall are among the other Northumberland venues listed further down, each with its own page.

Close-up magicians perform card tricks, sleight of hand and mind-reading effects a few inches from your guests, moving from group to group so everyone gets a turn. Some also perform a short stand-up set for the whole room.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for weddings since 1999. Every magician listed here travels to Northumberland as standard, and the instant quote button on this page shows pricing and availability for your date.

The essentials:

• Prices usually from £350 up to £800
• Many acts can cover more than one part of the day in a single booking
• Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to enquire early
• The quote you receive sets out exactly what's included
• 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking

The drinks reception is the most popular slot, as guests are standing in groups and there's often a wait while photos are taken. A magician can also work the tables between courses at the wedding breakfast, or entertain guests during the evening while the band sets up.

Prices usually start from around £350 and go up to £800 or so. A single drinks reception slot sits at the lower end, while a magician covering the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast sits towards the upper end. Your quote shows the full price for your date, so you can compare acts on the same basis.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the performer you would be booking, with videos, audio, a repertoire list and reviews. Between them you can get a clear sense of the act well before the day.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the day. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.
