If you’re planning a wedding in 2025, you may be looking for different entertainment options that will stand out and leave a lasting impression on your guests. Singing waiters are a fantastic option for this, bringing a surprising performance that will delight your wedding party. But what can you expect from singing waiters and why should you choose singing waiters for unique wedding entertainment?
What do singing waiters do?
So, first of all, what exactly are singing waiters and what do they do? Well, singing waiters, like us here at The Opera Boys, are professional performers who disguise themselves as regular waitstaff during your wedding reception. We may serve champagne through the wedding reception, interact with guests, and blend seamlessly into the venue’s catering team, giving no hint of our true talents. At a prearranged moment, most often during the meal, before dessert, we will begin to perform.
Their performance often begins with a humorous or dramatic reveal, such as an amusing “accident” or a bold announcement, grabbing everyone’s attention. Once the music starts,we will deliver an unforgettable live show featuring a variety of genres, from opera and musical theatre to pop classics and modern hits. The repertoire is typically chosen in advance with the couple, ensuring it resonates with their personal tastes and the vibe of the wedding.
What can you expect when hiring singing waiters?
When you book singing waiters for your wedding, the process begins with a consultation. You’ll discuss your preferences, the schedule of the day, and any specific moments you want the performance to align with. Then we can work with you, and the venue staff to pull off the perfect surprise performance.
On the wedding day, our team of singing waiters will arrive early to familiarise themselves with the venue and blend in with the catering team. From the moment guests arrive, we will play our roles convincingly, mingling with attendees and creating a sense of normalcy.
However, once the performance begins, you can expect a dynamic and engaging show. Our team of talented singing waiters are skilled at creating a sense of surprise and excitement, energising the room and encouraging audience participation. Our performance is usually interactive, involving your guests in singalongs, hand clapping, and even impromptu dancing.
The duration of the performance can vary, but it typically lasts around 30 minutes, just enough to make an impact without interrupting the flow of the day.
So why should you choose singing waiters for unique wedding entertainment?
There are a number of reasons why you should choose singing waiters for unique wedding entertainment? These include:
- Offering memorable entertainment- Our singing waiters offer a unique and unexpected form of entertainment that guests are unlikely to forget. The surprise reveal and powerful performance creates a wow factor, making your wedding stand out in everyone’s memory.
- Surprise element- One of the biggest advantages of hiring singing waiters is the element of surprise.

This unexpected twist adds an exciting and joyous atmosphere to the event.
- Versatility- Here at The Opera Boys, we will adapt our performance to suit the style and tone of your wedding. Whether you’re hosting a traditional celebration or a more modern affair,our performance can be customised to match your vision.
