What is a singing waiter?
A singing waiter, or secret singer, is a trained singer who masquerades as a waiter or waitress, serving food and drinks to guests at a dinner before surprising them with a live singing performance.
How does it work on the day?
On the day of your event, our singing waiters will usually arrive 1-1.5 hours before your guests are due to arrive to set up and sound check without giving away their true identity. They'll then change into the uniform of the venue to seamlessly blend in with the staff.
During the meal service, our singing waiters will assist with basic duties such as serving drinks, canapés, water jugs, and clearing. Once the mains have been cleared and the last desserts have been served, our singing waiters will surprise your guests with a live performance tailored to your preferences.
How many singing waiters will be at my event?
The number of singing waiters you hire depends on the size of your event and your specific budget. Please let us know how many wedding guests you'll have in attendance, and we can help you determine the number of surprise singers required to create the desired effect.
What kind of music do your singing waiters perform?
Our singing waiters are trained performers offering a wide range of musical styles, including pop, rock, swing, and opera.
Can I request specific songs or types of music?
Yes, we encourage you to make special requests and let us know what type of music you prefer in advance. Our singing waiters will do their best to accommodate your preferences.
How long do the singing waiters perform for?
The length of the performance will depend on your event and specific needs. Typically, our singing waiters will perform for about 30 minutes during the meal service or wedding breakfast.
How much does it cost to hire singing waiters?
The cost of hiring singing waiters will depend on the number of performers, the location of your event, and the duration of the performance. You can expect to pay anything from £400-£500 per singer.
Can the singing waiters perform during the ceremony or reception as well as during the meal?
Our singing waiters can perform during any part of your event, including the wedding ceremony, drinks reception/canapes, and wedding breakfast.
Do the singing waiters provide their own sound system and equipment?
Yes, our singing waiters come equipped with their own sound equipment with backing tracks to ensure they can be heard throughout the venue.
Please note that some of our singing waiter groups perform fully unplugged with acoustic guitars without the need for a PA system.
