Brides are a competitive group of people. Many Brides have been planning their wedding day since they were a little girl, long before they find their “Mr Right”. Each bride hopes their day will be better than any other wedding they have been to. They hope it is unique and memorable, and will dream for years in advance about it.
And yet, despite all of this, most wedding days follow the same pattern and structure:

Ceremony > Photographs > Arrivals > Meal > Cutting of Cake > Speeches > Evening Entertainment

For your wedding guests the time gaps between the Ceremony and Meal, and the Meal and Evening Entertainment involves a lot of waiting around. Most Brides who plan wedding entertainment, will not go far beyond the traditional Wedding Band or DJ. This generic wedding structure rarely changes much from wedding to wedding, and guests who have attended many previous weddings can now do it in their sleep!

Jugglers aren’t boring

Posted on by

Chris Marley
A brand new act, Chris is a highly trained expert juggler and loves sharing and discovering new ideas. Many of which are connected by his interest in Yo-Yo, juggling, circus, skeptical thinking and performance.

He has set a few records juggling (yet to be beaten). Arron performs in lots of different shows all over the place, suitable for different party venues and occasions. Arron is sure to be a crowd pleaser for any occasion.

Jason Maverick
When you think of booking a juggler for your event, you’re probably thinking of something very similar to Jason Maverick. Able to juggle with a whole host of props from juggling balls to cubes you’re sure to be impressed by his ability! Having trained at the National Centre of Circus Arts, you can be safe in the knowledge that you have booked a true master for your event. A gentleman juggler with a contemporary twist, you can’t go wrong with Jason

Crystal Wizard
What do you get if you combine an acrobat with a juggler? As you might expect, the result is the wonderfully named Crystal Wizard, using LED lights and crystals to wow and entertain your guests with a juggling light display. A clever act which will amaze.

Contact jugglers
A little bit different to juggling in the traditional sense of the word, contact jugglers have an incredible ability to make balls apparently levitate in the air. Well, not ‘levitate’ exactly, but making it appears as though a silver ball or two has a weightless quality. Very difficult to describe but just as hard to ever forget, hiring a contact juggler is one of the finest decision an event planner can make if they want an unforgettable experience for their guests!
