Congratulations Corinne and Edward – Holme Pierrepont Hall, Nottingham, August 2025

‘You were absolutely brilliant, and brought such a special touch to the celebrations – our guests haven’t stopped talking about your magic!’

Edward and Corinne, Holme Pierrepont Hall, Nottingham, 28th August 2025

Holme Pierrepont Hall dates back to Tudor times.

It was a magical day at the enchanting Holme Pierrepont Hall last August when Edward and Corinne tied the knot. I had been very fortunate to have met the lovely couple at Harlaxton Manor earlier in the year, and I was delighted when they decided that my magic should be part of their big day.

Close-up ‘mix-and-mingle’ magic was provided during drinks reception period, and it was a tremendous pleasure to entertain such a wonderful group of guests. I delivered an extensive repertoire of card routines, classic illusions, mind-reading demonstrations and parlour effects both within the hall and around the beautiful walled garden outside.

As well as entertaining the adults on a wedding day, I will always include the younger guests too. Child-friendly magic and balloon modelling was provided during photograph time.

Whatever the weather – indoors or outdoors – it’s always a massive pleasure to engage the guests at weddings! Photograph courtesy of Charlotte Jopling.

At larger weddings I may perform during both day reception and evening reception (a split performance of wedding magic) and this is what Corinne and Edward requested I do. This ensures that both day and evening guests can enjoy the performance and helps to keep the day flowing; and friends and family entertained.

Thank you Edward and Corinne for the lovely card and feedback!

It was a pleasure to entertain such a fantastic group of evening guests who had travelled from far and wide to share in Edward and Corinne’s celebrations. Indeed, it was also tremendous to work alongside the exceptional Jackstar Weddings who I have known for many years and who always deliver a first class service.

Congratulations again Edward and Corinne! Thank you so much for inviting me to perform magic on your wedding day.
