We were really excited to book Mark for our wedding day and he did not disappoint. He kept us and all our guests entertained and never failed to blow my mind with his tricks. He was funny, friendly, professional and just an all round nice guy. A lot of our guests have been raving about him ever since. Thank you Mark! More...

Just wow! From stunning magic tricks to a great sense of humour. Even seeing the tricks twice or three times still mind blown, personality it’s so brilliant with some cracking jokes. He was brilliant with everyone again jokes were hilarious. Was able to have a really down to earth conversation with Mark which was really nice to be able to interact outside of the really reason he was here. Would recommend to anyone anywhere, might get you for my 21st. And go for a pint afterwards More...

Book this guy! He is truly amazing. We didn't want the same old wedding, with fireworks and sparklers, instead we thought, lets be different, lets get a magician. People's faces when we told them were an absolute picture. We had the pleasure of Mark entertaining our guests at our wedding during the drinks reception in the afternoon. He was just amazing. I literally cannot start to describe him, other than amazing, brilliant, fantastic and hilarious! Our guests could not stop talking about how good he was, and some guests are still mentioning him now, ten weeks on. I need another excuse to book him! Do not hesitate to book him! More...

Mark came to our wedding reception to finish off the evening yesterday and he was absolutely outstanding. The magic was simply incredible and mind blowing. The guests couldn't take their eyes off him and I watched them following him around the venue just to see what he was going to do next. Mark is a true performer and entertainer and not just a magician. He had the guests laughing within seconds of introducing himself. Thank you for making our wedding a memorable day.

Amazing! Mark entertained guests at our wedding after the ceremony and before food. Not only was his magic mind-blowing, but his witty chat also ensured all guest were laughing while being amazed. Mark also provided a private show for me and my husband while our guests were being seated (made for some of the best photos ever!). A highlight of our day and without a doubt we'd recommend him for any event. Nicola & Julian, Standedge Tunnel Visitor Centre, 1st June 2019. More...

We recently had Mark Waddington at our wedding, which we were thoroughly looking forward to! We booked him last minute only two weeks before our wedding day as we had seen his mind blowing tricks through work! He was more than accommodating and went out of his way to be able to come and work his magic for our guests. On the night everyone was entertained and amazed not only at the tricks but also his ability to draw in the crowd with his cheeky personality. This makes him the perfect magician for any occasion. A true gentleman Mark Waddington is. More...

Wow! If you are debating whether or not to book Mark for your wedding - do it now!! He is exceptionally talented and was a fantastic addition to our evening reception, everyone loved him and we have received so many fabulous comments since the event, a couple of people even saying he was the highlight of our wedding!
We booked Mark after simply doing Google searches for local magicians, however we soon knew we had made a good decision as several of our suppliers sang his praises as soon as they found out we had booked him. He is obviously well-known in the industry and it is clear why.
In our opinion a magician is a fantastic addition to a wedding, it fills the gap betwen eating and dancing and brings that special touch to a day. I would highly recommend you book Mark!

Mark....thank you so much for being a part of our wedding! Having booked you almost 2 years in advance, it was a very hard secret to keep.
..but well worth the wait! All our wedding guests absolutely loved you & you even brought a few of them to tears! Almost a month later people are still going on about how fabulous you are!
You were the perfect entertainment fix for the lull between the meal & the evening! I would recommend you to everyone (in fact I already have)! I really do hope our paths cross again at some point in the future!

THE BEST MAGICIAN EVER!!! We booked Mark for our wedding between Christmas and New Year and he was absolutely fantastic.
Do not hesitate to book him. It may seem expensive but seriously it is DEFINATELY worth it!!! He performs his own tricks that you will have never seen before and he is also extremely amusing. If you would like a Fantastic Comedian Magician at your wedding look no further than Mark Waddington. JUST BOOK HIM!!!
Thanks Mark, you left all of our guests questioning their own existence!!! ������ MINDBLOWING!!! Xx

Well, where to start...Mark was amazing. From the moment he introduced himself to our guests, to eating our breakfast this morning with all our remaining guests he was the talk of everyone's conversation. I have never seen so many tricks where everyone was literally stunned into how he does it?! Definitely the added extra we needed to help keep our guests entertained during a lul period. Mark is so professional and charismatic he was just what we needed to add a little something special to our day. Thank you again x More...

We were so excited to book Mark for our wedding day, he did an absolutely amazing performance, really got people laughing and everybody loved him!
All of our guests couldn't stop talking about how brilliant he was, and we were all blown away by the close up magic.
Not only did Mark keep everyone entertained, but he is genuinely one of the loveliest people I have ever met. When we had a streak of bad luck having to cancel our venue and reorganise at very short notice, Mark messaged me straight away asking what he could do to help, he sent out a plea to all his wedding networks, found alternative venues for me to look at, and even found me a hair and make-up artist that was available for our date, as my previous lady had to cancel. He met up with me for coffee during a nightmare of a week and managed to reassure me that everything would still be perfect, and that most vendors will bend over backwards to make our day as special as possible, unlike the old venue.
Well, Mark was right and we had the best day ever, it was an absolute pleasure to have him there on the day, his magic really did start the day off with smiles, laughter and amazement. he even managed to catch the ceremony being extremely punctual!
Thanks for everything you've done for us Mark, our little glass playing card will have pride of place with the wedding pics and I can't wait for the next event we can find an excuse to book you for!
