Planning a wedding in Chicago and want entertainment that actually brings your guests together? White Rabbit's cocktail hour magic is the secret weapon couples wish they'd known about sooner. While your guests mingle and the champagne flows, Scott Syme creates moments of pure, joyful astonishment that turn strangers into friends before they even find their seats.
Chicago weddings are beautiful — lakefront venues, historic ballrooms, rooftop ceremonies with the skyline behind them, and cocktail hours where the architecture does half the work. Scott's cocktail hour magic fits the beauty of these settings. He performs for small groups while guests mingle, and by dinner, strangers from different sides of the aisle feel connected over something they can't explain.
Scott flies in from LA for Chicago wedding bookings and coordinates travel seamlessly. The Chicago wedding crowd is fun, social, and ready to have a good time — which means the reactions to close-up magic are loud and genuine. He's also available for rehearsal dinners, where the smaller group makes the magic even more personal. Chicago rehearsal dinners at neighborhood Italian restaurants are a combination that always works.

Midwest events balance warmth with high standards. Guests are generous, welcoming, and genuinely engaged — they don't need to be convinced to have a good time, but they absolutely know the difference between good entertainment and great entertainment. White Rabbit delivers the latter.
Midwest audiences are the most rewarding to perform for — genuinely warm, fully present, and unafraid to show amazement.
Scott travels from Los Angeles to serve clients throughout the Midwest, with direct flights to all major markets.
