Wedding Magic
There's something extra special about having a wedding magician who knows Limerick as well as your guests do. Steve Spade — born and raised in Limerick and now one of Ireland's most celebrated performers — brings that local warmth and pride to every wedding he performs at in his home county. Whether your celebration is set against the fairy-tale backdrop of Adare Manor, the elegance of Castle Oaks House Hotel, or the charm of a Limerick city venue, Steve creates magical moments your guests will never forget.
What to Expect
While you're taking photographs, Steve circulates among your guests — performing astonishing close-up magic that breaks the ice, warms the room, and gets everyone smiling.
As guests are seated for dinner, Steve visits each table with intimate, personalised magic — creating moments so special your guests will still be talking about them at the anniversary.
For after-dinner entertainment, Steve can perform a full stage show including his legendary escape acts — a breathtaking, romantic finale to your perfect day.
Limerick
Limerick is home to some of Ireland's most breathtaking wedding venues, from the rolling countryside of Adare to the banks of the River Shannon. Steve Spade has performed at weddings across the county and knows many of these venues personally — including the teams and coordinators who work there. That local knowledge means seamless planning, stress-free logistics, and a performance that feels like it was made for your venue and your guests.

Close-up magic involves Steve performing at each table or circulating during the drinks reception — very personal and interactive. A stage show is a seated performance after dinner, typically 30–45 minutes, which can include larger illusions and escape acts.
