The wedding MC

What your wedding MC takes off your hands

Your MC runs the room on the day. Jamie makes every announcement, introduces the speeches and coordinates with your venue, so the day moves from one part to the next and the two of you can enjoy it.

Between the formalities he performs close-up magic and mind reading at the tables, and his Magic MC packages include a mini mind-reading show for the whole room.

With a Magic MC package, Jamie makes all the announcements, so your band or DJ does not have to. If you need one, he brings a professional PA system for the introductions and speeches.

Jamie married his wife in 2023. He knows the time, effort and emotion that go into a wedding day. He treats every wedding as if it were his own.
