Planning a wedding in San Mateo 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.
Here's what nobody tells you about weddings: cocktail hour is make-or-break. It's the moment when your college friends meet your partner's family, when coworkers meet cousins, when everyone is standing around wondering what to do. Close-up magic solves this instantly. Within seconds, people who've never met are gasping, laughing, and bonding over something extraordinary.
Scott is a proud member of the world-famous Magic Castle® in Hollywood, performing at the highest level of the craft. Every performance is elegant, sophisticated, and perfectly calibrated for the tone of your celebration. No cheesy props. No interrupting toasts. No pulling rabbits out of hats. Just beautiful, intimate moments of wonder that feel right at home at a five-star venue, because that's where White Rabbit belongs.

San Mateo's most sought-after wedding venues, from The Dylan Hotel to Bay Landing Hotel, deserve entertainment that matches their elegance. White Rabbit is the cocktail hour experience that lives up to the setting.
Scott has performed at weddings across San Mateo. From clifftop ceremonies to grand ballroom receptions. Each performance is tailored to your guest count, timeline, and vision. Cocktail hour roaming magic, a pre-dinner parlor show, or both: whatever your celebration needs to feel complete.
Couples consistently say that hiring White Rabbit was the single best entertainment decision they made. Peak wedding season dates (May through October) book months in advance. Reach out now to secure your date.
Northern California's culture of innovation means your guests are analytical, curious, and hard to impress with surface-level entertainment. White Rabbit thrives in exactly this environment — Scott's mentalism and psychological magic challenge the sharpest minds in the room, and the reactions from tech executives who 'know there must be an explanation' are the most rewarding moments of any performance.
Bay Area audiences bring an intellectual curiosity that makes the mentalism and mind-reading portions of the performance especially electric.
Scott travels regularly from Los Angeles to the Bay Area and Northern California wine country. Travel coordination is handled seamlessly.
