Make the Most of Your Marbella Wedding Weekend
Destination weddings often become unforgettable weekend celebrations rather than a single day.
Welcome Dinner
If I’m travelling to Marbella or the Costa del Sol the day before your wedding, I can perform an exclusive close-up magic experience during your welcome dinner or family gathering.
It’s a wonderful opportunity for both families to meet, relax and begin celebrating together before the wedding day itself.
Wedding Day Drinks Reception
While you’re enjoying photographs around the villa, taking in views of the Mediterranean or relaxing by the pool, your guests will be entertained with elegant close-up magic they’ll never forget.
Wedding Breakfast
Magic between courses keeps the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable without interrupting your meal or speeches.
Evening Celebration
As the sun sets over the Mediterranean and the evening party begins, close-up magic provides the perfect transition between dinner and dancing.
