Chris was more than a magician; he was a pillar of support throughout our wedding journey. From planning and timing to his seamless coordination, Chris went above and beyond.
Phil & Madison, Happy couple
Planning your wedding in Berkshire?
Whether you’re getting married in a beautiful country estate, luxury hotel, historic venue or intimate private setting, I can help create a celebration that’s relaxed, sophisticated and unforgettable.
I’m Chris Dodd, a professional wedding magician and emcee.
My approach combines exceptional close-up magic with calm, confident hosting — giving you one experienced person who can help both entertain your guests and keep your celebration moving.
Your Guests. Your Celebration. No Stress.
A wedding involves an enormous amount of organisation.
But once the day arrives, you shouldn’t have to think about any of it.
My role is to help make sure your guests know where they need to be, your key moments happen at the right time and the atmosphere remains enjoyable throughout.
I’ll work with your venue, planner and suppliers to understand the schedule before your wedding.
Then, on the day, I’ll help guide the celebration while you concentrate on the people who matter most.
Wedding Magic That Gets Everyone Talking
Close-up magic is ideal for weddings because it’s personal and interactive.
Rather than putting on a traditional stage performance, I bring the magic directly to your guests.
During the drinks reception, I’ll mingle between groups and perform memorable pieces of magic and mind-reading.
During photographs, I’ll keep your guests entertained.
During the wedding breakfast, I can perform table magic between courses.
And as your evening celebration begins, I can continue entertaining your guests with interactive close-up magic.
Professional Wedding Emcee Services
I’ll make announcements, introduce speeches and help manage the transitions throughout your wedding.
But I’ll also read the room.
Sometimes your wedding needs energy and excitement. Sometimes it needs calm and reassurance.
My job is to understand the atmosphere and help the day feel natural rather than overly staged.
Your emcee service can include:
✦ Welcoming your guests
✦ Making announcements
✦ Introducing speeches and special moments
✦ Helping keep the day’s timings on track
✦ Coordinating with your venue and wedding planner
✦ Guiding guests between different parts of the celebration
✦ Helping create energy before important moments
✦ Providing PA equipment for speeches where required
Most importantly, I’ll understand your plans before the wedding so that on the day everything feels natural.
A Wedding Experience Built Around You
There isn’t a standard wedding day, so there shouldn’t be a standard entertainment package.
You can choose from a dedicated wedding magic experience, half-day hosting and entertainment, or full-day wedding magician and emcee services.
We’ll discuss your plans and create something that fits naturally around your celebration.

Tony, Father of the Bride, Surrey
Berkshire Wedding Magician
I regularly work with couples throughout Berkshire, including weddings around Reading, Windsor, Newbury, Ascot and the surrounding areas.
Whether you’re planning a luxurious celebration or something much more intimate, I’ll adapt the performance and hosting style to your wedding.
Make Your Berkshire Wedding One To Remember
Your guests won’t remember every announcement or every detail of the schedule.
They will remember how your wedding felt.
The laughter. The surprises. The conversations. The people they met. The moments they shared.
That’s what I aim to create.
