‘I honestly do not have enough words, his patience, attention to detail, the laughter from the guests, the disbelief. David was absolutely amazing.’

Hollie and Dane, July 2026, The Carriage Hall, Plumtree, Nottingham

I was delighted when Hollie and Dane asked me to provide close-up magic on their wedding day in July. The venue was the exceptional Carriage Hall, which is located in the picturesque village of Plumtree – just south of Nottingham.

It was a pleasure and a privilege to provide entertainment in such an idyllic location on a beautiful summer’s day. Hollie and Dane had sampled some of my magic at Brittany and Jamie’s wedding at Swancar Farm in September 2024, and I was very flattered when they decided to call upon my services for their special day too.

Close-up mix-and-mingle magic was provided during drinks reception period – just after Hollie and Dane’s ceremony. It was a tremendous privilege to engage such a fantastic group of family and friends on this very special occasion. Indeed, the newlywed’s guests were all in fine form and clearly ready for plenty of fun, interaction and laughter.

It was tremendous to see so many children at Hollie and Dane’s wedding and to have the opportunity to entertain them as well. I am very fortunate that my repertoire allows me to engage with all generations on such a day. Child-friendly magic and balloon modelling was duly delivered, and I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the wonderful reactions of the younger guests.

A very special thanks to Nicole and Clare for providing these tremendous photographs of magic during drinks reception period. The images are a fine testament to their exceptional talents. Find out more about their service at: Nicole Newbold Photography
