FAQ
Wedding Magic in Limerick
Can Steve perform at our wedding at Adare Manor?+
Yes — Adare Manor is one of Ireland's premier wedding venues and a setting Steve knows well. He's fully familiar with the requirements for performing at 5-star venues and works closely with the events team to ensure a seamless experience.
How early should I book a wedding magician for a Limerick wedding?+
Popular Limerick wedding dates — especially summer Saturdays — book up quickly. We recommend securing your entertainment 6–12 months in advance, particularly if you're marrying at a sought-after venue like Adare Manor or Dunraven Arms.
Can the magic work outdoors at Limerick venues?+
Yes. Steve performs outdoors for drinks receptions in garden settings across Limerick's country house hotels during summer months. He adapts his performance and materials for outdoor conditions.
Does Steve perform at smaller, intimate Limerick weddings?+
Absolutely. Steve is equally at home at an intimate gathering of 40 guests as he is at a large wedding of 300+. For smaller weddings, close-up and parlour magic is particularly intimate and creates a very special atmosphere.
What's the difference between close-up magic and a stage show for a Limerick wedding?+
Close-up magic involves Steve performing at each table or circulating during the drinks reception — very personal and interactive. A stage show is a seated performance after dinner, typically 30–45 minutes, which can include larger illusions and escape acts.
