The cocktail hour
The most common and the most useful. Strolling from group to group while you are away, so the room is warm by the time you walk into it.
Wedding Magician
Somebody has to look after your guests while you are off having photographs taken. That is the job.
The Gap Nobody Plans For
The cocktail hour is the one part of the day you are not at
Your ceremony is planned to the minute. Your reception is planned to the minute. In between there is an hour where your guests stand in a room holding a drink, half of them strangers to the other half, while you are outside with the photographer. That hour sets the mood for the whole evening and most couples never think about it until it is happening.
- Your guests are looked after. Nobody is standing on their own checking their phone.
- Both sides of the family mix. A small group watching something impossible together stops being strangers surprisingly fast.
- Children are covered too. The show works for a nine-year-old and their grandmother at the same time, which very little else at a wedding does.
- Nothing to organize. No stage, no sound, no slot in the running order. I simply start.
- Your photographs get better. People genuinely laughing in the background beats people queuing at a bar.
When I Work
Three points in the day where this fits
During the reception
Table to table between courses, or in the lull after the meal before the dancing starts, which is the other moment a wedding can sag.
The whole evening
Cocktails and reception together, with a short featured set if you want a moment where everybody watches the same thing at once.
From Couples Who Booked Me
What they said afterward
“We asked Carroll to perform at our wedding after we had seen him perform a couple of times over the years. He mingled with our guests during our cocktail hour while we finished up photos. We still can't figure out how he did his final trick! He was prompt, entertaining, and we heard nothing but great things from our guests about his performance. Big hit with the adults and the children!”
Kaydee W.Wedding
“Absolutely amazing! He was awesome at our cocktail hour. Heard nothing but great things after our wedding.”
Mickey R.Wedding
“Carroll's show was the cherry on top of our bachelorette Weekend! Definitely something we will all be talking about for years to come. Thank you so much Carroll for such a fun experience.”

If I perform and your guests genuinely do not enjoy it, you pay nothing.

Your date, your venue and roughly how many guests. I will tell you whether I am free and what it would cost. Dates go early, so it is worth asking sooner rather than later.
