Today we were at Hazlewood Castle with Wedding Fayres Yorkshire — and honestly, this one felt special.
Luxury venue, brilliant atmosphere, strong supplier lineup and couples who genuinely wanted to engage, chat and experience something different.
The first five minutes started slowly, with people naturally taking a quick walk around the marquee before properly settling into the event. But once the conversations started, the entire atmosphere changed.
From that point onwards the stand barely stopped. People were engaged, chatty, interested and properly reacting to what we do differently.
Quick takeaways:
- Fantastic atmosphere throughout the fayre.
- We were the only dedicated Magic Mirror supplier there.
- Couples genuinely connected with the hosted experience and personality behind the setup.
The Venue – Hazlewood Castle
Hazlewood Castle is one of those venues that immediately feels like a wedding venue the moment you arrive.
The grounds are stunning, the gardens are beautifully kept and the overall atmosphere feels premium without becoming overly formal.
Even without taking loads of venue photography on the day, it was obvious why couples are drawn towards weddings here. The outdoor areas, pergola seating and landscaped surroundings create exactly the sort of environment where wedding guests naturally relax and enjoy the day.
It is the sort of Yorkshire venue where photography, entertainment and atmosphere all naturally work together.
The Setup – Inside the Marquee
For this fayre we showcased both our Magic Mirror and Magic Mini setups inside the marquee area.
The marquee worked brilliantly because it gave couples space to properly stop, interact and experience the mirror rather than just quickly walking past.
One thing that really stood out throughout the day was how much people reacted to the personality around the setup. Not just the equipment itself — but the hosted experience, the interaction and the overall atmosphere around the stand.
What couples reacted to most
- The hosted experience
- The custom-built mirror setup
- The instant prints
- The atmosphere and personality around the stand
There were a couple of photo pod suppliers at the fayre too, which actually helped couples see the difference between a generic setup and a fully hosted interactive experience.

Bringing the Vibe
Some wedding fayres can feel transactional. This did not.
The atmosphere throughout the marquee became genuinely fun once people settled in. Couples were chatting properly, suppliers were interacting with each other and the entire event felt relaxed and full of energy.
That is something Wedding Fayres Yorkshire consistently seem to get right. They put together events in venues that already have character and then create an environment where couples actually want to engage rather than just grab flyers and leave.
This felt like a proper wedding fayre done properly.
Suppliers We Loved Working Alongside
The supplier lineup throughout the day was brilliant.
We had some great conversations with Ben Cummings Photography, Joshua Adams Menswear, Nadia Violin and the team from Wedding Fayres Yorkshire.
Even the venue team loved the drone portrait shot we captured during the fayre.
Why a Magic Mirror Works at Hazlewood Castle
Venues like Hazlewood Castle work brilliantly for Magic Mirror entertainment because guests already arrive expecting an experience.
The venue has atmosphere before the evening even begins, which means interactive entertainment naturally becomes part of the overall wedding experience rather than something sitting off to one side.
Why the mirror fits venues like this
- Luxury wedding atmosphere
