THE MOMENTS BETWEEN THE MOMENTS MATTER MOST.
The ceremony may be over.
The speeches haven't started.
The photographer has stolen you away for those perfect pictures.
Meanwhile, your guests are waiting.
This is where the magic happens.
Not just impossible moments they'll never forget...
...but conversations between strangers.
Laughter shared across generations.
And an atmosphere that feels warm, relaxed and full of life from the very beginning.
WHY WEDDING MAGIC?
Most couples spend months planning every detail of their wedding.
The flowers. The venue. The music. The food.
But one question often gets overlooked... What are your guests doing while you're busy?
During the drinks reception.
Between courses.
While the room is being turned around.
Those natural pauses can either feel quiet...
...or become some of the most enjoyable moments of the entire day.
Close-up magic transforms those moments into something your guests genuinely remember.
THE PERFECT MOMENTS FOR MAGIC
Enchant your guests with moments of wonder during cocktail hour or entertain them at their tables between courses. Steven Greenwood's magical performances are sure to create unforgettable memories on your wedding day.
DRINKS RECEPTION
This is where wedding magic has the biggest impact.
While you're having photographs taken, your guests are meeting each other, enjoying a drink and waiting for the celebrations to continue. Rather than standing in small groups wondering what happens next, they're laughing together, sharing moments of amazement and instantly feeling part of the celebration.
By the time you return... Your wedding already has an incredible atmosphere.
WEDDING BREAKFAST
Meals naturally create small pauses.
People wait for food. Tables finish at different times.
Guests who don't know each other sometimes run out of conversation.
Close-up magic fills those moments perfectly without ever interrupting the meal.
It gives every table something to experience together.
EVENING RECEPTION
As day guests mix with evening guests, close-up magic helps everyone relax and connect.
It's the perfect bridge between the formal part of your wedding and the evening celebrations.
MORE THAN ENTERTAINMENT
Your wedding isn't a performance.
It's one of the biggest days of your life.
That's why my approach has never been about drawing attention to myself.
Instead, I become part of the atmosphere.
Moving naturally between your guests.
Reading the room.
Knowing exactly when to perform—and when to simply let people enjoy the moment.
The result is entertainment that feels effortless, elegant and completely in keeping with your wedding.
TRUSTED TO ENTERTAIN
From intimate countryside weddings to national television on Britain's Got Talent, I've always believed the best entertainment creates genuine reactions.
It's never about making me the centre of attention.
It's about giving your guests moments they'll remember forever.
IMAGINE LOOKING AROUND…
Imagine returning from your photographs.
Instead of guests quietly waiting...
You see people laughing.
Tables full of conversation.
Groups gathered around sharing impossible moments.
Family members who had never met before chatting like old friends.
That's the difference close-up magic makes.
And that's exactly the atmosphere I love creating.
