Thank you Jeeven and Party Central for organising the dholis
I have been in touch with Jeeven, who organises events for Party Central, and he has been a great help. His customer service is excellent. He was very patient and helpful in finding the package best suited to my requirements, even though there were a few changes to timings and dates. Jeeven is a very friendly guy, easy to communicate with and very quick to respond. So thank you, Jeeven, for organising the dholis for me.

Party Central event planning experience
Sanj from Party Central has been absolutely brilliant in helping us find the right DJ package for our event and venue. From the very beginning, he has been so friendly, approachable and genuinely helpful. He has given us lots of great advice, not only about the DJ package but also about the venue, which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Sanj and Party Central.

What does an event magician do?
Event magicians perform close-up magic, sleight of hand and mind reading for small groups, moving between tables or around a drinks reception. The magic happens in guests' hands, which is why people talk about it for the rest of the night.
Many magicians can also perform a stage or after-dinner set for the whole room. Close-up works brilliantly as an icebreaker at corporate events and weddings, and a stage set gives a dinner a clear focal point.

Tips from our team
- 1
Choose close-up or stage
Close-up suits receptions and dinners. A stage set needs a seated audience and good sightlines.
- 2
Time it with the catering
Table magic works best between courses, not while plates are going down.
- 3
Brief them on your guests
Names, in-jokes or a product can be built into the magic with a little notice.
Frequently asked questions
How much do magicians cost in Ponteland?
Every booking is quoted individually, because the price of magicians depends on availability, your date, location and travel, how long you need them and your exact requirements. Send us your date and venue and we will come back with clear options. Quotes are free with no obligation.
What is the difference between close-up and stage magic?
Close-up is performed for small groups at arm's length. Stage magic is a set for the whole room, usually with a microphone.
Can the magician include our brand or product?
Often, yes. Branded cards or a product reveal can be built into the routine with enough notice.
How many guests can one magician cover?
It depends on the time and how the room is laid out. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest how many you need.
Which venues near Ponteland can hold a large Asian wedding?
On our list, Newcastle Marriott Hotel Gosforth Park (up to 600 guests) and Newcastle Marriott Hotel MetroCentre (up to 400 guests) can take 400 or more guests. Tell us your venue and numbers and we will plan magicians around the space.
Do venues around Ponteland have sound limits for dhol or music?
Many hotels and country houses set a sound limit or an end time, and some ask for unplugged dhol indoors. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check its rules before we confirm anything.
Which postcodes around Ponteland do you cover?
All of NE18 and NE20, including Northumberland, Medburn and Stamfordham, plus the rest of Northumberland and nearby Prudhoe, Cramlington, Newcastle upon Tyne and Morpeth.
What time will the magicians arrive, and how will they look?
They arrive smartly dressed and on time, usually 30 to 45 minutes before the performance, so they are ready the moment you need them. We share arrival times and a contact number with you before the day.
Are your magicians vetted and insured?
Yes. Every partner is vetted by our team before they are listed. They hold public liability insurance and certificates, carry out risk assessments, and any electrical equipment they bring is PAT tested. Venues often ask for these documents and we can supply them.
How far in advance should I book magicians?
For weddings and summer weekends, book as early as you can, ideally several months ahead, as the best dates go first. We can often help at short notice too, so it is always worth asking.
Do you cover Ponteland and the rest of Northumberland?
Yes. We book magicians in Ponteland, across Northumberland and the whole of North East, for venues, homes and outdoor events.
