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 Oxfordshire? From beautiful Cotswold villages and historic Oxford venues to country estates, luxury hotels and elegant celebrations around Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire offers some truly spectacular settings for a wedding.
I’m Chris Dodd, a professional wedding magician and emcee, combining sophisticated close-up magic with calm, confident wedding hosting to help make your celebration relaxed, entertaining and unforgettable.
More Than Just A Wedding Magician
Your wedding day involves a huge amount of organisation.
Guests are arriving, photographs need to happen, food needs to be served, speeches need to start and suppliers need to work together behind the scenes.
You shouldn’t have to worry about any of that.
As your wedding magician and emcee, I can help take care of the flow of the day while creating memorable moments of magic for your guests.
I’ll work with your venue, wedding planner and suppliers before the wedding to understand your plans and timings.
Then, on the day itself, I’ll help welcome your guests, make announcements, introduce speeches and keep everyone informed about what’s happening next.
And in between those moments, I’ll entertain your guests with interactive close-up magic and mind-reading.
Wedding Magic In The Cotswolds
Oxfordshire is home to some beautiful Cotswold wedding locations, making it a fantastic choice for couples looking for a countryside celebration.
From charming villages and country houses to elegant barns and exclusive estates, Cotswold weddings have a wonderful atmosphere — and close-up magic fits naturally into it.
During your drinks reception, I’ll mingle with your guests and perform interactive magic that gets people talking and laughing.
While you’re having photographs taken, I’ll keep your friends and family entertained.
And later, I can perform table magic during the wedding breakfast or continue entertaining your guests as the evening celebrations begin.
The magic doesn’t require a stage or dedicated performance space. It happens naturally among your guests.
Wedding Magician In Henley-on-Thames
Henley-on-Thames and the surrounding Oxfordshire countryside provide a beautiful setting for weddings, particularly for couples looking for an elegant celebration with a relaxed country feel.
Whether you’re celebrating at a riverside venue, country estate, luxury hotel or private property, I’ll tailor the magic and hosting around your plans.
Henley is also ideally situated for couples bringing guests together from London, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, making it a popular location for weddings across the region.
Professional Wedding Emcee Services
My role as your wedding emcee is to make the day feel organised without making it feel overly formal.
I’ll help guide your guests through the celebration, working alongside your venue and other suppliers.
Depending on your plans, this 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
And of course, plenty of magic!
The aim is simple: for everything to feel effortless.
Magic That Brings Your Guests Together
One of the reasons close-up magic works so well at weddings is that it encourages people to interact.
Perhaps your guests are meeting for the first time.
Perhaps two families are getting to know each other.
Perhaps there’s a natural pause while photographs are taking place.
Magic gives everyone something to share.
I’ll move naturally between groups, performing impossible-looking magic and mind-reading that creates genuine reactions and memorable conversations.
It’s personal, interactive and suitable for a wide range of ages.

That’s what I aim to bring to every Oxfordshire wedding.
