About Rhinefield House
Set deep within the New Forest National Park near Brockenhurst, Rhinefield House is one of Hampshire’s most striking wedding venues: a Grade II listed Victorian country house surrounded by ornamental gardens and ancient woodland. Its grand panelled rooms and famous Alhambra-inspired interior give the house a real sense of occasion, while the formal Italian gardens and surrounding forest make it a photographer’s dream.
It is exactly the kind of setting where close-up magic works beautifully: relaxed, sociable and full of natural pauses in the day where guests are mingling and waiting to be amazed.
Close-up magic at Rhinefield House
Close-up magic performed inches from your guests’ eyes is the perfect ice-breaker. It gets people talking, creates genuine moments of astonishment, and gives everyone something to remember long after the day itself. At a venue as beautiful as Rhinefield House, it is the ideal way to fill the natural gaps in the day with wonder rather than waiting around.
Wedding magician at Rhinefield House
Getting married at Rhinefield House? I perform during the three natural windows of a wedding day, and the venue lends itself perfectly to each:
- The drinks reception and photographs – while you are having photos taken in the Italian gardens, I mingle with your guests group by group, keeping everyone entertained and relaxed.
- The wedding breakfast – a short routine table-by-table between courses in the Grand Hall, giving every table its own moment of magic.
- The evening reception – as your evening guests arrive and the room turns around, close-up magic keeps the energy up before the music takes over.

Table magic in the Grand Hall
The Grand Hall at Rhinefield House is a wonderful room for table magic during the wedding breakfast. I move table to table between courses with a short mini show for each group, so every one of your guests gets their own front-row seat. As UK Table Magician of the Year 2024 and 2025, table magic is something of a speciality.
Corporate and private events at Rhinefield House
Rhinefield House is not only a wedding venue. It is a popular setting for corporate away-days, private dinners, milestone birthdays and Christmas parties. I am equally at home breaking the ice at a drinks reception, entertaining between courses at a corporate dinner, or adding something memorable to a private celebration. More about corporate magic →
Rhinefield House and the New Forest
Rhinefield House sits at the heart of the New Forest, moments from Brockenhurst and Lymington and surrounded by some of Hampshire’s most beautiful countryside. As a genuinely local magician I am well placed to be there quickly, with no travel charge. You can see more of the New Forest wedding venues I have performed at, or explore my nearby New Forest and Southampton pages.
How much does a wedding magician at Rhinefield House cost?
Because Rhinefield House is local to me there is no travel fee. A typical booking of around two hours is between £350 and £650, depending on the day of the week and your guest numbers. Saturdays are the most popular and book up first. Larger weddings of 150+ guests may benefit from a longer performance or a second magician, which I am happy to arrange on your behalf. For a personalised quote, just send me your date and rough guest count.
