Ah, September – that golden stretch between the chaos of summer holidays and the madness of Christmas shopping. It’s also, in my humble (but highly magical) opinion, one of the best months of the year to tie the knot. And I should know – I had my own September wedding 14 years ago this year (still happily married, despite my wife still not finding the “pick a card” trick as funny as I do after the hundredth time).
But why exactly is September such a perfect month for weddings – and even more perfect for booking a wedding magician like me, Simon Croft from Redsuitmagic.co.uk? Let me reveal the secrets (no sleight of hand involved – promise).
1. Venues and suppliers are more available
July and August are peak months, and everyone from florists to photographers is booked solid. By September, venues breathe a little easier, and there’s more choice available. That means you’re far more likely to secure your dream venue and your dream magician (that’s me) without resorting to bribery or blackmail.
2. The weather is “just right”
September in the UK is like Goldilocks’ porridge – not too hot, not too cold, and far less chance of you sweating through your wedding dress or top hat. The light is softer too, which photographers adore. Your photos will have that golden, romantic glow – and with a magician mingling through the guests, you’ll also capture plenty of candid shots of jaws dropping and eyebrows levitating.
3. Guests aren’t on their summer holidays
Plan a July wedding and you’re in danger of losing half the guest list to Spain, Greece, or Skegness (budget depending). In September, everyone’s back, the kids are in school, and your nearest and dearest are much more likely to RSVP with a resounding “yes.” More guests = more laughter, more fun, and more people for me to astonish with some close-up wedding magic.
4. Magic is the perfect icebreaker
Every wedding has those “in-between” moments – while you’re off having photos taken, or while the room is being turned around before the evening party. This is where close-up magic shines. I stroll from group to group, dazzling your guests with sleight of hand and a touch of comedy. Auntie Jean gets a miracle with her engagement ring, the best man loses track of his watch (don’t worry, I give it back), and suddenly everyone’s chatting and laughing together.
Why Simon’s magic is ideal for September weddings
With 32 years experience, I know how to make your day unforgettable. September weddings already have that special balance of beauty and calm, and magic just adds the sparkle – literally. Your guests will be entertained, amazed, and left talking about your wedding for years to come.
And here’s the important bit: my September wedding dates for next year are already starting to fill up. Booking early is absolutely essential to avoid disappointment. Don’t leave it to chance – I can promise miracles at your wedding, but I can’t conjure up extra dates in the diary!
