Wedding planning tips - How to Avoid the Dreaded Wedding Lull

Every wedding has that one moment. You know the one—when the ceremony is over, the drinks are flowing, but the reception hasn’t quite kicked off yet. The newlyweds are off with the photographer, capturing those all-important golden-hour shots, and the guests… well, they’re left in a bit of a social limbo.



It’s a tricky time. People are milling around, making small talk, checking their watches, and waiting for dinner to start. It’s not that they’re not happy to be there—of course they are! But there’s only so much polite conversation one can make before the energy starts to dip.



Enter the Close-Up Magician!

Hiring a close-up magician for your wedding is the perfect way to fill this potential lull with excitement, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Instead of guests awkwardly wondering when they can sit down, they’ll be gasping in amazement as impossible tricks happen right before their eyes.



Imagine this: Your uncle, who swears he’s seen it all, is left speechless when his signed playing card appears in his own pocket. Your best friend’s mind is completely blown when I correctly guess the word they’re merely thinking of. And that little cousin who was getting fidgety? Now they’re grinning ear to ear, totally engaged.



Why It Works



A magician blends seamlessly into the wedding, moving from group to group, making sure everyone is entertained while they wait. It’s interactive, personal, and completely unique. Unlike a stage show, close-up magic happens right in guests’ hands—there are no barriers, no distractions, just pure, impossible moments.



By the time the reception properly begins, your guests aren’t just entertained; they’re buzzing with excitement, chatting about what they’ve just witnessed. It’s the ultimate icebreaker, and it ensures that the energy never drops during your big day.

So, if you want to keep your wedding flowing smoothly and make sure your guests have an incredible time, hiring a close-up magician is a no-brainer. After all, a little magic goes a long way!


Oh, and by the way, if you want this awesomeness at your wedding, and you want the ultimate lull-killer, get in touch with me and I'll take that stress away for you!
