Factors that affect wedding magician pricing include:

Experience and reputation: Established wedding specialists with extensive experience and positive reviews typically charge £900-1500, while newer performers may start around £500-800
Performance duration: Many wedding packages include up to 3-4 hours of performance time across different parts of the day
Day of the week: Saturday weddings during peak season (May-September) often command premium rates
Location: Venues far from the magician’s base usually incur additional travel fees
Wedding date: Peak wedding months (June-September) and special dates (Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve) typically cost more
Package options: Some magicians offer additional services like personalized tricks featuring the couple’s story or special magical mementos for guests

Many wedding magicians offer tailored packages that can be customized to your wedding timeline and budget. Most require a non-refundable deposit (typically 25-50%) to secure your date, with the balance due closer to the wedding day.

For couples on a budget, some magicians offer shorter performance times (perhaps just during the reception or evening) at reduced rates of £350-500.
