Where and when do you perform?
As your wedding reception entertainer, there are several times Gene’s magic makes a difference. Let’s take a look,,,
Right After the Wedding Ceremony: The bride and groom have lots of details to attend to following the ceremony and before the reception. Signing the license, taking family pictures and more. This is the perfect time to have Gene Urban stroll among the guests while they are waiting. The magic serves not only as entertainment, it is the ultimate ice breaker. As he moves among the guests he gets them to interact and share introductions. Gene likes to ask questions about how guests know the bride and groom while he performing. The result is they have fun and get to know more about each other.
Before and During Dinner: As the newlyweds, you will do your best to go to each table and talk with everyone. That takes time. Gene helps by keeping an eye on your progress and entertaining guests you have not gotten too yet. You might say he plays the role of a magical host whose job is to spread some magic and fill in the blanks.
If you are having a buffet style dinner, Gene will entertain people as they stand in line and additionally entertain friends who finish eating early and are waiting for the next event such as the garter throw, toasts and cake cutting.
During the Dancing Part of the Evening: A lot of people have a band or DJ come on after dinner. It’s a fantastic time for people to get up and dance. But what about the ones who don’t like to dance? Gene helps take care of these people.
Gene, you rock! . Our parents thought we were nuts when we said we hired a magician but afterwards they couldn’t say enough nice things about you. Thanks so much for making our day even more magical. Steve and Teri B. [usrlist “Magic:5” “Guest Feedback:5”]
