We Booked the Modern Con Man for Our Wedding – And He Was Pure Magic

We first saw the Modern Con Man at the NEC and were instantly impressed. He felt like the perfect fit for our wedding—and he absolutely was.

On the day, he was a true professional. Elegant, charming, and never intrusive, he mingled effortlessly with our guests, keeping everyone entertained and laughing without ever drawing too much attention to himself. He brought energy, warmth, and a touch of magic that really elevated the whole day.

He filled those quiet moments with ease and helped everything flow beautifully. If you’re unsure whether to book him—do it. He’s worth every penny, and we’re so glad we had him as part of our day.

9 months on and everyone still talks about Gavin!! 🤩🤩

Gavin is absolutely amazing and so so talented. His personality and sense of humour are exactly the kind you want on your wedding day, he was extremely helpful and got involved with all the guests!
He recommended doing ‘walk ins’ of our bridal party which originally we weren’t keen on the idea of but we did it and those moments are some of our best memories of the day, we are so so glad we did it!!
We’ve also had loooooaaaads of messages about his magic, he is so talented, no one had a clue how he did anything he did and everyone was so impressed. I want to have another event just so we can hire Gavin again 😂
Thankyou so much Gavin you were so so brilliant 🤩

Magical Touch

Gavin was simply magical !! At my daughter’s recent wedding, he added an element of pure fun and drama with his interaction with the guests ! There were so many comments of how everyone enjoyed his involvement in the day ! In addition to his close up magic - he also provided MC services in the day , and this skill set too was just exceptional - he assisted in making sure things ran smoothly, but he made sure the energy levels and atmosphere were pitched at a fun, happy, celebratory vibe.

In short - can’t recommend him highly enough !

Wedding hosting and magic

My partner first met Gavin at a Wedding Faye and was hooked in by one of his tricks. We knew we had to book him. There were various packages on offer and whilst the venue were able to do the hosting, it was Gavin’s all round professionalism and sense of fun that we felt fitted well with the vibe we wanted for our special day. The full day package certainly entertained all of our guests, having him there throughout the day meant everyone got to see his magic, which leaves you wondering how he did it! The full hosting package added a touch of flare to the day and made for a unique experience…something everyone keeps talking about still! I highly recommend Gavin if you want something different for your event!

Absolutely fantastic!

Gavin was brilliant when he attended a surprise birthday party for my husband. He was really responsive through the booking process and flexible on our timings. He’s very impressive and our guests were left speechless and wowed by him - he had a lot of compliments!
