"One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Chris. Having him there was truly magical! " - Brittany Peleckas (Bride)
Looking for unforgettable cocktail hour entertainment for your wedding? Chris Herrick performs interactive close-up magic that keeps guests entertained, sparks conversation, and creates memorable moments while couples are taking photos. He performs at weddings throughout Boston, Cape Cod, New Hampshire, and across New England. He is also available for destination weddings across the United States and worldwide.
Chris performs at over 50 weddings a year and helps break the ice at cocktail hours, welcome parties, and rehearsal dinners.
"We had a small wedding of 53 people, mix of all ages, and Chris delighted everyone. Kids were on a first name basis with Chris - I have no idea how he remembered them all - and were blown away by his magic. Our aunts and uncles and parents (ballpark age 60's) loved him and couldn't figure out how he did his acts. Our friends (ballpark age 30's) did their very best to figure out how Chris performed and could not figure it out, kept going back to him for more. My point being, all ages loved him. Chris was so kind, and friendly, and funny - meeting him in person for the first time at our wedding it felt like we were old friends right from the very start." - Mike T. (Groom)
Wedding cocktail hour is one of the most important opportunities to create a memorable guest experience. While the couple is taking photos and the reception is being prepared, Chris Herrick keeps guests entertained with interactive close-up magic performed right in their hands.
Unlike a traditional performance where everyone has to sit and watch, Chris brings the entertainment directly to your guests. He moves throughout the cocktail hour, engaging small groups, breaking the ice between guests who may not know each other, and creating moments that people will be talking about long after the wedding day.
Morgan from Two Hot Takes explained it best. A great cocktail hour should be more than just a transition between the ceremony and reception. It should be an experience your guests remember. Chris Herrick brings a unique style of interactive close-up magic that gets people laughing, connecting, and sharing unforgettable moments together.
The best way to understand what makes Chris's wedding entertainment different is to see it in action. Watch his IG reels, TikToks, or the videos below to experience how Chris engages guests, creates genuine reactions, and brings a one-of-a-kind energy to cocktail hours throughout Boston, Cape Cod, New Hampshire, and beyond.
Chris is a Rhode Island magician and Boston magician performing at over 50 weddings each year. He travels across the country and worldwide for weddings and events. He performs interactive intimate close-up magic during cocktail hour before the wedding reception. This is a chance for your guests to have fun, laugh, and have an unforgettable time with our wedding magician, while you're off taking photos. And if you miss the magic during photos, Chris will provide an intimate show for just the Bride and Groom to ensure they get to see and enjoy the magic!
Chris does not do shows during the reception. He has the most unique cocktail hour magic experience and can perform table-side magic tricks at dinner when it fits the occasion. He has done hundreds of weddings, and a show at any point on the wedding day would be discouraged.
We know you only planned this wedding once, but as a magician in Rhode Island and magician in Boston who has performed at hundreds of weddings, you don't just get a magician — you get expertise and advice from being in this situation hundreds of times!
However if you're looking to add WOW FACTOR to your wedding - Chris has you covered.
