Wedding Magician Kent
Close-up wedding magic for barns, orchards, country houses and coastal venues across the Garden of England.
About Wedding Magician Kent
Kent – the Garden of England – is home to some of the country’s most beautiful wedding venues: converted oast houses, orchard and vineyard estates, timber-framed barns like Hayne Barn House near Hythe and Redhouse Barn in Cranbrook, the Orangery at Port Lympne, and country houses like Chilston Park near Maidstone, set among rolling countryside. It’s exactly the kind of setting where close-up magic shines, giving guests something properly memorable between the ceremony, the speeches and the dancing.
Pete performs at weddings right across the county – from Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells to Maidstone, Canterbury and the coast – working the room during the drinks reception, table-to-table through the wedding breakfast, or mingling with guests during the evening party. Every performance is tailored to the size and feel of your day, not a fixed script.

Barn and Oast House Weddings
Kent does barn weddings better than almost anywhere, and they suit close-up magic particularly well. There’s no stage in a barn and there doesn’t need to be: the magic happens in guests’ hands, table to table or moving through the drinks reception, which fits the relaxed, mingling feel far better than anything performed at a distance. It also needs nothing from the venue – no staging, no power, no sound system – which matters when a barn’s own layout and timings are already doing a lot of work.
There is more on this on the barn wedding magician page.
What Affects the Cost
- How long you need, and which parts of the day: drinks reception, wedding breakfast, evening, or a combination.
- Guest numbers. Above roughly 150 it is worth discussing timings or a second performer.
- The date. Saturdays from May to September go first.
Travel is not a factor anywhere in Kent. There is a fuller breakdown in the guide to what a wedding magician costs in the UK.
