Choosing singing waiters for live wedding entertainment

If you’re planning a wedding, you might be looking for unique ways to make your special day unforgettable. One popular option is hiring live entertainment for your wedding, from a band to vocalists or musicians. Singing waiters are another option, but what are these? And what are the benefits of choosing singing waiters for live wedding entertainment?

What are singing waiters?

So first of all, what exactly are singing waiters? Well, these are professional performers who disguise themselves as regular waiting staff during your wedding. They blend seamlessly with the catering team, serving food and drinks, interacting with guests, and going unnoticed until it’s time for their big reveal. At the perfect moment, typically during the meal or after speeches, they break into song, surprising everyone with the performance.

Here at The Opera Boys, our performers are trained tenors with Broadway and West End credentials. We have appeared on TV and performed on stage alongside leading names like Tom Jones, Elton John and Russell Watson, and have even appeared on The Eurovision Song Contest. For weddings, we perform from a wide range of genres, from classic ballads and opera to modern chart-toppers, ensuring there’s something for everyone. We will even personalise our performances to suit your tastes and the mood of the wedding, making the experience even more special.

What are the benefits of choosing singing waiters for live wedding entertainment?

There are a wide range of benefits to choosing singing waiters for live wedding entertainment. These benefits include:

  • Creating an unforgettable moment- One of the main appeals of singing waiters is the element of surprise. Guests typically have no idea that the staff serving them are secretly performers. When the singing begins, it’s unexpected and creates a moment of delight and amazement. This surprise moment is unforgettable, and will help your wedding stand out. 
  • Interactive entertainment- Singing waiters don’t just perform; they actively engage with your guests. They may encourage singalongs, get people clapping, or even invite a few guests to join in on the fun. This level of interaction creates a lively atmosphere and helps break the ice, especially if guests from different social circles are meeting for the first time.
  • Versatility in performance- Whether you want a romantic serenade or an upbeat medley of party hits, singing waiters can adapt to your preferences. They often work with couples to tailor their setlist, ensuring it aligns with the wedding’s theme and tone. This flexibility means you can create a bespoke experience that reflects your personality as a couple.
  • Catering to all ages- Weddings are multi-generational events, and pleasing everyone can be challenging. Singing waiters, with their diverse repertoire, can appeal to all age groups. From grandparents who love classic tunes to younger guests who enjoy pop hits, the performance can be designed to entertain everyone.
