Singing waiters are performers who pose as regular waitstaff during an event, such as a wedding, and then unexpectedly break into song, surprising and delighting the guests. It typically involves a few performers who blend in with the real waitstaff, serving food and drinks as if they were part of the catering team. At a predetermined moment, they start singing, often performing well-known songs or operatic pieces, sometimes involving a bit of humour or theatrical flair.
The surprise element is key to the appeal of singing waiters. Guests are often unaware that the waitstaff are actually professional singers until they start performing. The performance usually escalates, with more waiters joining in or even involving the guests, creating an interactive and memorable experience.
Singing waiters are a popular choice for weddings and other special events because they add an element of surprise, entertainment, and fun, making the occasion more engaging and enjoyable for everyone.

The performance normally takes place just after the main course – our favourite scenario is a waiter falling over whilst carrying a champagne bucket or tray, making a huge clatter and diverting everyone’s attention in shock – once on their feet, they pull out their microphone and burst into song!
