If you’re planning a wedding to be one of the most special occasions of your life, there are a number of factors to bear in mind. From the colour scheme, order or events, and the food, to the music and live entertainment, you can personalise your wedding and tailor this to meet your requirements as a couple. One of the most popular live entertainment options is to hire singing waiters. But what do these do? And what are the benefits of surprising your wedding guests with singing waiters?
What do singing waiters do?
Singing waiters like us here at The Opera Boys, are professional vocalists who will seamlessly blend into your wedding as part of the serving staff before surprising your guests with a spectacular performance. We will typically arrive at your venue dressed as waiters, serving drinks, just like the rest of the catering team. Our presence will be so natural that your wedding guests will have no idea that there are actually talented singers hidden within the waitstaff.
At a carefully chosen moment, often after the main course or as the reception begins, our act will start. Some singing waiters begin with a dramatic twist. This might involve a comedic mishap, such as a waiter dropping cutlery or arguing over a tray, before bursting into song. Here at The Opera Boys, our performance can range from operatic arias to pop ballads, musical theatre classics, or even rock anthems, depending on the your preference as a couple. We will even take requests and tailor our setlist to fit the wedding theme and atmosphere.
What are the benefits of surprising your wedding guests with singing waiters?
Opting for singing waiters, and the element of surprise that you can expect from them, can bring a number of benefits and advantages to your wedding, including:
- A memorable surprise- A wedding is all about making lifelong memories, and a surprise performance from singing waiters ensures your day is talked about for years to come. Guests will be genuinely shocked and delighted by the unexpected twist, making it one of the most cherished moments of your celebration.
- Bringing people together- Weddings bring together people of all ages and backgrounds, and sometimes getting everyone involved can be a challenge. Singing waiters have the ability to energise the room, encouraging even the most reserved guests to sing along, clap, or even get up and dance. Their charm and interactive performances ensure everyone feels included and entertained.
- A personal touch- Here at The Opera Boys, we offer bespoke performances, allowing you to choose songs that are meaningful to you as a couple. Whether it’s your favourite romantic ballad, a song that reminds you of when you first met, or a fun classic that will get everyone on their feet, this tailored touch makes the performance even more special.
Choose singing waiters for a romantic and memorable wedding
A surprise performance from our singing waiters can add an extra layer of romance to your wedding day. Music has the power to evoke deep emotions, and a beautifully sung ballad or a love song that has meaning to you as a couple, can bring guests to tears of joy. Ultimately, it enhances the sentimental atmosphere, making your wedding even more meaningful and touching.
