Frequently Asked Questions about our Singing Waiters

---

Singing Waiters are a unique surprise entertainment act that blends the roles of waitstaff and live performers. At first, they appear as regular waiters—serving food and drinks—before, at a pre-agreed moment, bursting into song with an energetic, interactive performance that truly captivates your guests. 

Our Singing Waiters create an unforgettable atmosphere by engaging guests with their secret act. They mingle discreetly as waiters and then reveal their vocal talents with a set of well-chosen, high-energy songs. The goal is to surprise and delight your audience, ensuring your event is remembered for years to come. 

For each event, our team is booked for a full day—from travel and setup to the final performance. The act itself typically involves:

• An undercover period of 1-2 hours, where our waiters blend in and interact with guests.
• A performance set featuring approximately 8 songs that usually lasts around 45 minutes, though we can adjust the duration to suit your event’s schedule.

 Costs vary based on factors like the event date, location, number of performers, and performance length. Our pricing is competitive because we run the business ourselves—no expensive agency fees. You’ll receive a personalized quote that covers:

• A dedicated event planner.
• A tailored, high-quality interactive act.
• Professional vocal talent and technical support (including sound equipment and insured sound engineers). Simply fill out our online enquiry form or give us a call for a detailed quote.

Booking is easy! Contact us via our website, telephone, or email with your event details, including date, location, guest count, and any special requests. Once you sign the contract and pay a small deposit, our team will guide you through the remaining details to ensure a flawless performance.
