Kilmarnock wedding magician and host Steven Blair has been highly commended at The Wedding Industry Awards

This will be Blair’s third consecutive year of recognition in the competition.

Blair received the commendation in the Magician category at the Scottish regional final of the 2027 awards, held at Trades Hall in Glasgow on Tuesday 3 November. It follows his regional wins in the same category in 2025 and 2026.

Blair said the recognition was particularly meaningful because couples whose weddings he had worked at had a say in the result.

“One of my favourite moments is seeing guests who’ve only just met still laughing together long after I’ve left their table,” he said.

“Hearing what those moments meant to couples makes this recognition really personal. A huge thank you to everyone who invited me along and took the time to vote.”

The awards take into account client voting scores and feedback from the past 12 months, alongside assessments by an independent judging panel of more than 160 wedding industry experts.

Organisers said 25,344 votes were cast for 1,434 entrants across the UK, with 1,157 wedding businesses reaching the regional finals.

Regional winners are being announced at ceremonies throughout November and will go forward to the national final in Liverpool on Wednesday 20 January 2027.
