Unforgettable wedding entertainment!

We recently had the pleasure of having Chris Tennant as our wedding entertainment, and they truly made our big day even more memorable! From the moment we first contacted them, their professionalism and enthusiasm were evident. Chris took the time to understand the vibe we were going for and tailored the performance to fit our needs perfectly, and the energy they brought to the reception was contagious.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding entertainer. If you’re looking for someone who will keep the energy high, entertain your guests, and create lasting memories, we highly recommend Chris Tennant. They exceeded our expectations in every way!

The perfect addition to our celebration

We were lucky enough to win a performance from Chris at our wedding in 2019, after meeting him at a wedding show. He stayed for hours on the day and discreetly mingled with guests to entertain with his various card magic and illusion skills. I just wish we'd been able to spend more time with him and our surprised guests on the day! It added the perfect touch to our gathering and we'd certainly recommend Chris as an ideal events performer.

Really great entertainment

We hired Chris for our wedding reception party this summer and couldn't have been happier. His magic tricks were really clever and he was very generous with his time. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing, mesmerising, fantastic, brilliant

Chris was so personable, charming, and made sure everyone got to see his amazing magic. Everyone still talks about Chris at our wedding till this day, me and my husband got married 8 years ago, so this really shows that Chris is incredibly memorable! A true professional and an absolutely lovely guy.

Brilliant magic that amazed both old and young!

Chris arrived on time and entertained ourselves and our guests with his amazing tricks! He was very happy to repeat a few of his magic tricks for the little ones on our special day. Would definitely recommend! Brilliant entertainment and something for everyone!
He was very happy to come at a time we chose but also gave us ideas on what he’d done in the past that had worked well.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
