Glowing tribute from Gaynes Park Events Manager

Jane James, Events Manager, Gaynes Park, EssexWe would like to say thank you so so much for being part of our big day. We wanted a fun wedding for our guests and by having you there to entertain them we definitely achieved this!

We have had some fantastic comments about how great you were and many people that are still baffled by your tricks. Not only were the adults amazed by what you can do but the children loved it too. Thank you for keeping them entertained throughout the speeches, the parents were very grateful to be able to relax and the children are still talking about it now!

You made such an effort to get around to all of the tables and to ensure that they all enjoyed themselves, I know this can’t have been easy with our large and noisy crowd!

Thank you for being flexible on the day and staying for longer than planned, especially as our speeches went on for longer than planned!

Tony is a great addition to any wedding or party and I would highly recommend him any day! – Jane James, Events Manager, Gaynes Park

Hotel exec gives Tony a 5-star rating

Most of the testimonials Tony receives are from the bride and groom but occasionally, a letter or email arrives from a relative or guest wanting to pay a personal tribute.

One such message was sent by Caroline Lawson after her daughter Siobhan was married to Sam Quick in Kent. The message is particularly treasured as Caroline is not only Mother of the Bride but also Conference and Events Sales Executive at the Hilton Hotel in Maidstone.

She wrote: ‘I just wanted to say a huge thank-you, I am so pleased that we booked you to entertain our guests. We were all absolutely amazed and all of the guests had a fantastic evening. They are still talking about you as they were so impressed.

‘Siobhan and Sam had a truly magical day from the very beginning and you certainly made the evening magical too. It has been a pleasure to meet with you and I will certainly recommend you for many years to come’ – Caroline Lawson

Thanks Tony – your magic put us all in the pink!

From our first meeting all the way through to our special day you were professional, attentive and listened to what we wanted – performing for all the different age ranges and even going the extra mile and wearing a bow tie that matched our colour scheme – PINK!!

We have managed to catch up with most of our guests since the wedding and they have all mentioned how well you performed personal tricks and magic that made them gasp and smile … our photo says it all! :-) Great memories – Dean and Rebecca

‘You made our Wedding Day truly magical’

Tammi and David GreenstreetJust to say a huge Thank You for doing your magic at our wedding at Crondon Park, Stock.  Everyone commented on you, and how amazing you were and are still baffled from the many tricks you did for them.

From our adult guests to our youngest guests, they all loved you and thought what a great idea it was to have a magician to keep everyone entertained, and you certainly did that.

We loved the special tricks you did for us – we still can’t fathom out how you did the card trick with the camera … truly amazing!

You made our wedding day truly magical. We will definitely recommend you to our family and friends and hope to see you again in the near future – Tammi and David Greenstreet

‘Magic of our day was multiplied tenfold’

It’s the Monday after our big weekend and we are still buzzing. The day was magical anyway and you multiplied that magic tenfold, you were simply amazing. Thank you so much for everything you did to make our day even better.

Everybody was raving about you. When you performed the two tricks for me and Lucy we simply were stunned, I can’t wait to see the video as I am sure our faces are a picture!!

You were a delight to work with from initial phone call right up to our day. We will 100 percent be recommending you to anyone who mentions they are having a function in the future. Thanks again – Toby and Lucy Hague

‘You really got people talking …’

Mark and Jo HathawayWe just wanted to write to thank you ever so much for the fantastic job you did in entertaining us and our guests on our wedding day.  We have received so many comments from friends and family saying how much they enjoyed the magic and how they felt it was a superb addition to the day.  We’ve viewed many of the photos of the day since and these certainly highlight how much people were enjoying your magic too!

Personally we felt that the magic would be a perfect way to get guests who may not know each other on the table talking and this certainly proved to be the case!  We could tell people were really enjoying themselves and were therefore more than happy to extend your stay by the additional hour too! We really appreciate the flexibility you provided in enabling us to be able to request you to stay on longer on the day itself. We must also say, we thought you did a great job in working the tables well so that everyone got to see you.

Also, without spoiling the surprise for other brides and grooms, we loved the special tricks you reserved for us and are still baffled trying to work out how it was done!  We’ll definitely be recommending you to friends and family in the future – Mark and Jo Hathaway

‘Spectacular performance … everyone was gobsmacked’

Holly and Dan PeacockYou performed so spectacularly at our wedding … everyone is still baffled, gobsmacked and talking about you now! You managed to grab everyone’s attention from the moment you performed your first trick for us. You entertained adults and children alike and even the most sceptical guests were dumbfounded by your tricks.

We would advise any other couples thinking about booking you to go for it, you certainly didn’t disappoint.

We felt you went the extra mile especially time-wise and didn’t disappear out of the door the minute you were originally booked to finish – Holly and Dan Peacock

‘An amazing experience … You made our day so memorable’

Nicola and Andy SkinnerWe cannot thank you enough for the amazing experience you provided for our wedding guests and us.  We are still baffled by the final ‘special’ trick and we have had so many people thank us for having a magician… Andy got a text the day after the wedding from one of his friends whose three-year-old has decided he wants to be a magician when he grows up!

We have lovely photos of you entertaining and are so pleased you were there to make our day so memorable!

We would thoroughly recommend you to anyone considering hiring a magician. Your relaxed and unimposing style of entertainment adds to the day (rather than detract which is what we have seen elsewhere). Still baffled! – Nicola and Andy Skinner

‘Fantastic … our guests were amazed by your magic’

Thank you so much for doing your magic at my wedding, everyone was so amazed and I must admit you have been the talk of my guests ever since.

I would recommend you to all other people having a party or a wedding, you were fantastic and managed to get around nearly all my guests, and there were loads. I was told as well about how good you were with the children. Once again thank you. - Debra and Trevor Hunt

‘Tony was highlight of our Special Day’

Samantha and Justin CrookTony joined us on our wedding day to entertain our guests during the evening reception. We were throughly impressed with his performance, as he left many of our guests mesmerised by his unexplainable illusions – the groom in particular who was not aware that Tony had been booked!

He made such an effort to make sure our guests enjoyed themselves and has left us with so many halarious memories from our special day, for this we can’t thank him enough. A definite highlight of our day – thanks Tony! – Samantha and Justin Crook

‘We will highly recommend you’

Maria and Lee MillerLee and I would like to say a big thank you for the entertainment you provided us and our guests on our wedding day.

It was better than we could have hoped for, our guests still talk about you today, and the children loved the show you did for them. We hope we get to see you again in the near future, so we will highly recommended you to our friends and and family for any of their future events. Thank you again Tony, you made our day extra special!! – Maria and Lee Miller

‘Wonderful  wedding magic … we’re so glad we found you’

Emmie and Garry HinchliffeWe are so sorry not to have written a reference for your work yet – it seemed like too big a task as there were so many things we wanted to say about your wonderful magic at our wedding.

We have just got back from Christmas with family and friends, many of whom we haven’t seen since our wedding, and all they can talk about is how wonderful you were on the day. Even the children are still talking about you. Our wedding album has a double-page spread of your photos.

We really are so glad to have found you and would happily recommend you to anyone (and have done!) – Emmie and Garry Hinchliffe

‘You’re amazing … simply the best’

Just wanted to send you a message to say a big thanks for what you did at our wedding.

Everyone keeps telling us that you were their favourite part of  the day and that they have been trying to work out how you did the tricks ever since! They just can’t get over how you can do tricks right in front of their eyes without them seeing how they are done!

You definitely give Paul Daniels a run for his money! You are amazing and not only your skill with the magic but your personality and ability to interact with so many people.

Of all the suppliers we hired for our big day you were by far the most professional, best value for money and the one that delivered! We will definitely recommend you to anyone, you are fantastic!! Many thanks. - Richard and Caroline Andrews

‘You’re an incredible magician’

We just wanted to say thank you so much for enteraining everyone at our wedding – we had so many great comments about you especially from the boys who seem to want to book you for an afternoon for themselves! You’re an incredible magician – thanks for helping make our day so special! - Jessica and David Hutchinson

‘Remarkable show … our guests were left open-mouthed’

James and Faye Honey-GreenWe just want to say a huge thank you again for your performance at our wedding last Sunday.  One week on you are still the talk of the guests!

The way you went about your business was truly remarkable – no fanfare or fuss but every guest was left baffled and amazed by your skills.  Certainly you left all of them with open mouths!

There is no doubt we would recommend you to anyone and I am sure we will use you again the future. May we again thank you for adding magic to our amazing day – James and Faye Honey-Green

‘Wonderful entertainment … Guests were mesmerised’

We would just like to thank you very much for your performance at our wedding. You did a wonderful job entertaining our guests and left them completely mesmerised and with plenty to talk about.

We thoroughly enjoyed your special moments with us as we thought that having booked you, that we may not catch a glimpse of your magic.

I was impressed that my bride appeared on time for the wedding but was equally impressed with a bottle of champagne appearing from thin air. You were just brilliant and were the talking point of the day, in fact, for the entire week and beyond.

We would not hesitate in recommending you and we would be delighted to book you again should an appropriate occasion arise. Every success to you for the future. - Eddie and Maralyn Morse

‘Your magic skills impressed young and old …’

Just to say that we were extremely happy with your professional magic skills you performed at Sammy and Gavin’s wedding.

Guests young and old were very impressed with your skills. People are still trying to work out how it’s all done, Sammy and Gavin included.

Thank you very much for helping to make the day so enjoyable and successful – Jane Freshwater, Bride’s Mother
