Photo of Matt Barber - Close-Up Magician Matt Barber - Close-Up Magician "We booked Matt to perform at our wedding at Hedingham Castle, and he was truly amazing. From our very first meeting, he completely blew us away with his warmth, professionalism, and talent. On the day, he engaged with our guests so beautifully, even where there were language barriers, and everyone loved him. He brought such joy, energy, and magic to our wedding, and we honestly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect evening." Based in Maidstone, England 11th February 2026 Alexandra Margarit - Wedding Photo of Loretta Loren Belly Dancing Performer Loretta Loren Belly Dancing Performer "I booked some sacred movement classes with Loretta to learn how to move my body in a sacred way and release lots of anxiety and stress. Loretta will guide you through the basics step by step to beautiful egyptian music which is very therapeutic. I learnt how to use veils and do goddess wraps while doing sacred hip and tummy movement. Loretta is definitely the one and only for bellydance in medway! Highly recommended. If you want to feel like a goddess please give it a go. Thankyou so much x" Based in Gillingham, England 11th September 2026 Sarah - Belly dance sacred movement Photo of Caricatures Paul Caricatures Paul "Paul was amazing, I know that all of our guests would have had a portrait if they could.
