Phil Smith 26th February 2024
ok, you are planning your menu with the on-location chef or caterer. It takes a lot of planning to choose meal choices you think will please the majority of your friends and family. Are there any allergies to worry about? Do you give enough choices to accommodate all the different taste buds? Now that that's done it's time to think about the music selections from the DJ or choosing a band that matches your music likes; do you try and have something from different genres and variety from country to pop to maybe rock and roll.

Wedding Magic

Phil Smith 21st June 2021
Planning your wedding is challenging, because it's your big day and you want it perfect. A wedding magician working the cocktail hour is the perfect start to your reception. I often work the cocktail hour(s) at wedding receptions to help couples relax as they take all the time they need to get the bridal photos correct at the ceremony spot/venue. Most couples worry about getting back to their reception where their family and guests are waiting for you (I know I did when I got married.) Imagine, instead you have some time to sip some champagne in the limo with…
