Singing waiters and waitresses, something unusual for your party events...
Singing Waiters and Waitresses
Opera Singing Waiters & Comedy Waiter
On the day of the event, the singers and comedy waiter will arrive at the venue well in advance of the start time, so that we can conduct our sound check before any guests arrive, thus preventing any “spoilers”. We will liaise with you or your venue ahead of the event in order to ascertain what the other waiters will be wearing. The singers will wear the same uniform as the other staff in order to blend in.
The comedy waiter wears a “head wine waiter” uniform. The singers work with the other waiting staff from the start of the event and throughout the meal, serving drinks, food etc, so that all of the guests will have seen us working in a serving capacity, and most of them will have been served by us directly, which makes the ultimate revelation that we are in fact opera singers even more of a shock!
The comedy waiter also works with the other waiting staff serving wine etc. Whilst doing this he will be cracking jokes, being mischievous and generally appearing to be hilariously badly behaved.
(NB: We do of course liaise with the caterers to let them know what our comedy waiter has planned and to see what level of serving they are happy for us to do, but mostly they are glad of extra help!)

Traditional Singing and Comedy Waiters/Waitresses
(NB: We do of course liaise with the caterers to let them know what our comedy waiter has planned and to see what level of serving they are happy for us to do, but mostly they are glad of extra help!)
At a time agreed with our client, usually once the main course has been cleared, or after dessert, the comedy waiter takes the stage and after a brief stand up routine, performs a comedy musical piece and then creates a build up for the revelation that some of the waiting staff are not what they seem! At which point the first of the singers is revealed. The other singer(s) are then revealed in the course of the following pieces of music.
The musical performance is usually around 15- 20 minutes in length.

At a time agreed with our client, usually once the main course has been cleared, or after dessert, some kind of bogus announcement will be made, for instance, a member of staff is leaving and it’s tradition to make them sing a song for the guests (the content of this varies depending on venue, event, client request etc.) at which point the first of the singers is revealed. The other singer(s) are then revealed in the course of the following pieces of music. The musical performance is usually around 15- 20 minutes in length.
Technical Specs
For medium to large parties or rooms with no acoustic (Marquees, outdoors, very large and upholstered rooms etc.) a radio microphone is required for each waiter, as well as facilities to play the backing tracks. This can be either in the format of CD or MP3 player.
For small parties (less than 50) or rooms with excellent acoustics, no microphones required, simply a sound system on which to play our backing tracks. This can be either in the format of CD or MP3 player. Alternatively, we can be accompanied by a pianist for a small additional cost.

Testimonial
Hi Elinor,
Just a quick note to thank you and Octavio and Tony for the most incredible performance on Saturday.
You all really made the party for us, and Stephen still cannot believe I kept it a secret from him! In fact, at one point, when he spotted Tony “assisting” George, he got quite cross and was about to go out and tell him to please go away! Thank goodness my daughter realised what was happening so I managed to stop him going out.
Tony was hysterical, you were quite right, and I am so sorry if I drove you mad prior to the party, as he was just perfect, particularly the part about the Bentley’s and Micra’s!!!!!
I do hope you got some food and drink and thank you also for being perfect waiters and waitresses, although again Stephen kept saying to me he was sure we had more people in the kitchen than was necessary and far more than we had previously ever had when we had made parties. I lied to him! But then I am quite an expert at that, when necessary and they are only little white lies so they don’t count.
I am also aware that I did not get to speak to you all too much during the evening and I hope you did not mind being left to your own devises, but you seemed to be coping admirably anyway, so thank you for that as well.
The repertoire was superb and your voices were wonderful. Thank you again so much and if you ever need any sort of reference please do not hesitate to contact me. As you can see I have copied in Terry of Stepping Out as I wanted him to know how terrific you all were.
Take care and very best wishes to you all.
Regards
Rhoda
