What are Singing Waiters and why should I choose them for my wedding?

Singing Waiters in the UK is a growing phenomenon, we are the most exciting concept in the wedding industry at the moment, think of a flash mob type scenario with less people. The concept of our show is create excitement and wonderment for you and all of your guests to enjoy. The key is in our name, Singers in Disguise, we pose as waiters or venue staff blending in with the staff, serving food and drinks until mains are cleared then... *BAM* the music starts and we burst into song with some of the UK's finest singers singing your favourite popular songs, surprising your guests, getting them up dancing, doing the Conga and having an amazing time all in the afternoon before your evening entertainment. Our Surprise Secret Singers performance lasts for approximately 7-8 songs and really does pick up the guests ready for the evening entertainment, our act is renowned for filling the gap when the usual Wedding Lull Kicks in, in other words when the guests start to get tired after an early start and a few drinks, in between the meal and the evening party, Singing Waiters bridge that gap ready for the party in the evening. We are totally bespoke, listen to our customers, we know how important your wedding is to you and equally how important it is to perform certain songs at your wedding therefore we will try and get our Singers to fulfil all requests in our shows. We have numerous Packages available ranging from Solo or Duo Singing Waiters, evening shows and even Disco's we can do the lot. We would love you to contact us for a no obligation Quote and make another happy couple.

How much does it cost?

How Long do you perform for?

All of our performances no matter how many of them you choose will last around 7 to 8 songs which is around 30 to 40 minutes with Banter and guest participation within the show. Any longer, we find that the groom, best man and father of the bride tend to get a little bit edgy as their speeches are usually after our performance :), we wouldn't recommend any shorter either as we want all of our customers to get value for their money.

What is the Difference between Singing Waiters and Wedding Breakfast Entertainment

We get asked this question a lot and in all honesty there isn't much of a difference other than with wedding breakfast entertainment we don't pose as the waiters as simply there are some people that don't like the idea. Its still a surprise though don't you worry, we will usually burst through the doors suited and booted and get the party started after mains are cleared. Our surprise entertainment whatever you decide to choose doesn't have to be done at a wedding breakfast, it can easily be adapted to a drinks reception, wedding party, events, birthdays parties and corporate functions and events.

Why are Singing Waiters so expensive

Wedding Entertainment has a common misconception that suppliers hike their prices up, some may do however its not what we are about, our prices are matched with the industry standard and set like that due to the planning, equipment and hours that our talented surprise singing waiters will be working at your event for example; Our Singing Waiters will often be required to travel long distances to perform at your event, arrive before you to set up and do our sound checks and your guests meaning that they are usually working for upwards of 12 to 14 hours All of our entertainers are fully insured and travel with the latest Performance equipment and importantly are some of the finest voices in the UK with plenty of experience to make your day perfect and surprise your guests perfectly and making the whole day extra special.

Can I pick my own songs?

We have a standard set of popular songs that we and all of our former clients know and love, mainly because our Singing Waiters have performed at that many weddings we know what works and has something that will please all wedding guests. We know however that some songs will be special to our customers so as long as there is some notice, we are happy to learn your songs and slot them into our set.

What ABOUT WEDDINGS

Singers in Disguise 2020

What about Weddings?

Yeah that’s right what about weddings! Why have we been forgotten? Why is there no support? The questions are endless and unanswered so far by the decision makers.

2020 has been a tough year for us all especially the seemingly forgotten wedding sector. The impact of COVID-19 causing cancellation upon cancellation, it’s hard not to be downbeat and give up.

Here at Singers in Disguise, we have had mostly cancellations this year and have made the decision to refund all of our customers deposits, it only seems fair as the customer is not to blame, we are sure once we can finally perform at weddings again the customers will come back and we will have a bumper year but until then what about weddings?

The what about weddings #whataboutweddings movement by https://whataboutweddings.co.uk/ is fantastic. The aim is to try and get the attention of Mr Sunak and all of government as our forgotten industry has received little to no support at all with the exception of the bounce back loans that were offered back in April.

There are some fantastic links for support which we have certainly used in this period, we would urge all of you to check them out and get involved with the campaign.

Even with the bounce back loans, we are in November now with Christmas on the horizon, we had no clarity to when we could perform again it’s hard to see how long they are going to last when you have to put food on the table and support yourself during such a hard period where our industries hands are tied.

What the government are seemingly hanging on to is the fact that weddings haven’t been shut down, and they have been going ahead on a reduced scale of 30 and 15 people. Do they really expect people to book as normal in this circumstance, we certainly wouldn’t expect to perform our Singing Waiters show to this many people as it wouldn’t have the same effect or value for money for the bride and groom.

The likely outcome is that newly married couples are likely to have a big party/wedding breakfast when this is all over which is great however this doesn’t help the suppliers who are bending over backwards to keep afloat.

All we are asking for is a bit of clarity of how the situation will be remedied, what are they going to do what are their plans for us? do they have a roadmap that they are following or are they just going to wing it as it seems they have been doing since march?

We understand that we are in a pandemic and very unprecedented times and the government are under pressure to act for all industries and sectors however we fail to see why an industry that brings a lot to the economy and pays their taxes like everyone else should suffer and be ignored.

To all our colleagues and competition within the industry make sure you keep your collective chins up and we will get through this as an industry together

Mental Health is seemingly at an all-time low, so we ask please all be kind, try to help each other out and help the campaign for support.

Anything we can do for anyone else in the industry drop us a line.

All the best guys and see you on the other side.
