Congratulations Emily and Joe – Hazel Gap Barn, May 2026

‘Thank you so much again for being a part of our day, you were completely the right fit for us and everyone loved it’

Emily and Joe, Hazel Gap Barn, Nottinghamshire, 16th May 2026

Hazel Gap Barn is an exceptional East Midlands Wedding Venue nestled in the stunning environs of the mythical Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire.

It was a tremendous privilege to entertain everyone on Emily and Joe’s wedding day at the fantastic Hazel Gap Barn in May this year. The lovely couple’s family and friends were a pleasure to perform magic for on this very special occasion.

Hazel Gap Barn is one of the East Midlands most sought after wedding and events venues. Located to the north of Nottinghamshire county, it is nestled within the picturesque environs of Sherwood Forest. Thus, there are plenty of exceptional locations close-by for stunning photo opportunities on a wedding day. Find out more about this exceptional wedding and events venue at: Hazel Gap Barn.

Emily and Joe had requested that I perform magic from the end of the wedding breakfast until the start of the evening reception. This period on a wedding day is perfect for magic. I was delighted to entertain friends and family with close-up magic, sleight-of-hand, classic illusions and mind-reading effects.

Magic was also delivered for the younger guests in attendance, and balloon modelling is always a big hit on wedding days. It truly was a tremendous pleasure to engage with Emily and Joe’s day and evening guests within the bar area and function suites of the stunning Hazel Gap Barn.

The highly talented Michelle White was present all day and ensured all of those magical moments were captured for posterity. Michelle’s exceptional images are on display in this blog article and I really appreciate Emily and Joe sharing these with me.
