Congratulations Annie and Dean!

‘It was a massive privilege for us to have you share the day! Dean wouldn’t have had anyone else.’

Annie and Dean, The Sitwell Arms Hotel, Renishaw. 21st May 2022

It was truly fantastic to entertain Annie, Dean and all their friends and family at the Sitwell Arms in May this year. I was very fortunate to meet the lovely couple at Nick and Beth’s wedding at Stubton Hall in 2019, and I was very flattered that they decided to call upon my services for their own special day.

Annie and Dean requested that I entertain everyone during their early evening reception. The period from the end of the wedding breakfast until the first dance is perfect for a close-up magician to circulate freely with the guests.

It was a pleasure to perform card magic, sleight-of-hand, classic illusions and mind-reading routines for all age groups. Annie and Dean’s friends and family were a joy to mix with, and it was fantastic to receive such a tremendous reaction.

We were blessed with excellent weather on the wedding day, so I was able to mingle freely with the guests in the garden area and terrace to the rear of this superb wedding venue. 

The outstanding Bailey Lonsdale Photography were Annie and Dean’s chosen lensmen for the day, and it was a pleasure to work alongside these consummate professionals. The wonderful photographs in this blog article highlight how they can expertly capture all those very special moments on a wedding day perfectly. Many thanks to Annie and Dean for kindly sharing these images, and you can find out more about Bailey Lonsdale Photography at: www.baileylonsdale.com

It was a wonderful day at the Sitwell Arms, and thank you again to Annie and Dean for inviting me to be part of such a special occasion. Congratulations again to the lovely couple!

Close-up ‘ice-breaker’ magic and table magic was provided by yours truly, and hopefully livened up the proceedings a little. As you would expect from South Yorkshire’s finest, the guests were a wonderful group to entertain and I thoroughly enjoyed this magical evening at a majestic venue!
