I'm a wedding expert, here's why you should hire your local Wedding Witch
Wedding witches are currently exploding in popularity not just because they’re unusual, but because they offer something really thoughtful in the chaos of wedding planning.
Whether they’re casting weather spells or leading grounding rituals, it’s all about setting positive intentions and helping couples feel emotionally and spiritually prepared for the day.
As Google searches for ‘Etsy Witch’ soar by 129% in the last month (to 25,000 searches globally) according to Google Trends, leading wedding expert and editor of Hitched.co.uk, Zoe Burke, reveals why hiring quirky wedding vendors for your big day will make your wedding memorable in all the right ways.
“Hiring a wedding witch to make sure you have good weather on your wedding day isn’t just a quirky trend, it’s actually a meaningful ritual that taps into something deeper,” says Zoe.
“Having a spiritual leader set positive intentions for their day can help couples to feel more connected to nature, and bring an element of mindfulness into the often stressful lead-up to a wedding.
“Even if you don’t believe in magic, the symbolism behind these rituals can offer a real sense of calm and clarity. It’s a beautiful way to make your celebration feel unique, personal, and energetically aligned with the kind of love you’re trying to honour.”
Below, Zoe shares five unique wedding vendors that will ensure couples have a memorable wedding day.
In a world of cookie-cutter weddings, incorporating a modern-day witch or spiritual guide adds an unconventional, memorable element. It's symbolic, meaningful, and a conversation-starter for guests.
The Wedding Witch offers a variety of Tarot readings, including individual readings for guests and group readings during the reception, or can provide magic performances, such as a stage show or table-side magic during dinner, all with the signature Wedding Witch twist. As a proud member of The Magic Circle, Careena is one of the few women magicians performing in the United Kingdom.
The Roaming Gypsy puts her Romany Gypsy roots to work by providing tarot, astrology, and palm readings, as well as other services at weddings and special events, when not working as the lead astrologer and tarot reader on AdAdstra.

The Ink Alchemist is a tattoo artist creating high-end personalised experiences for hen and stag parties and wedding receptions. Alice is the face behind The Ink Alchemist, and believes that receiving a tattoo is a ceremony celebrating the human experience.

The Enchanted Wagon brings a bohemian flair to wedding celebrations. For those drawn to the spiritual side of life, the wagon has a unique connection to the nomadic cultural traditions and practices of the Romani people. It incorporates a free-spirited aesthetic with elements of storytelling, tea leaf readings, and intuitive magic.
Zoe adds: “Is hiring a wedding witch going to guarantee sunshine? Maybe not. But it might help you feel more grounded, more present, and a lot less stressed.
“Couples are embracing these kinds of rituals not because they’re spooky - or even because they’re trendy, but because they’re meaningful, fun, and honestly, who doesn’t want a little magic on their big day?”
