A great deal of my work is done at wedding receptions. Typically it will be performed in some of the larger hotels or function suites. There are several very good reasons why you should consider hiring a magician at such an event.
It is the absolute perfect environment to experience close up magic.
No other form of entertainment creates such a direct level of interest as magic. You can be absolutely sure this will be a major talking point amongst your guests both on the day and for months, sometimes years afterwards. Not many people get the chance to see close up magic right in front of their eyes.
There are obviously always two distinct family groups at such events, the family of the bride and the family of the groom. This makes for a strategic way of getting them to socially interact with each other.
Such events need to sustain the interest of both the bride and groom and the guests throughout the day, seamlessly over several hours. Due to the nature of the such events this is quite a difficult objective to achieve due to the constant interruptions in the flow of things.
During the photographs for instance the guests will often tend to disperse rather than stay in the group, meaning you will have to go and round them up on your return.
Quite often wedding reception venue staff will heard you and your guests out of the room you have hired immediately after the speeches and ask you to wait in the bar area whilst the room is reset for the evening do. This nearly always creates a flat spot, not unlike being thrown out of a pub at closing time. This time period can often be 2-3 hours and includes furniture rearrangement vacume cleaning and to give the DJ or band time to set up. Once again this results in your guests being dispersed in a large central bar area frequented by other members of the general public not necessasarily associated with your immediate group.
Having a Magician to go around the tables during the meal, between courses, can take the pressure off the venues waiting staff if their timing is a little off delivering the food. This takes peoples mind off where their next course is, avoiding complaints and grumbles, thus ensuring people remain in a posative frame of mind for your big day.
All in all, the recipe for success at a wedding reception is about keeping the event flowing smoothly, maintaining a consistent level of interest over several hours and keeping the group together whilst encouraging the social interaction of the guests.
