The most amazing wedding singers!

The most amazing wedding singers!

The effort and time that they put in from the start of the day severing guests canapés and getting to know them, to the energy and fun they bring during the sets… they were what really got our wedding going. Everyone absolutely loved VIP waiters and I’ve had guests asking for company details. The VERY best thing we could have booked for our day!

Exceptional and Amazing

We booked Nelson from VIP Waiters for our son’s wedding in August 24. He was recommended by our daughter Courtney who works in the wedding industry. He was exceptional from the minute he arrived, a true actor and entertainer.

The guests at the wedding said it was the best wedding they’d been to. All of our friends and family joined in with the singing and dancing, Nelson made sure of that. Everyone was happy and laughing. It was a joy to

Amazing day.

VIP Waiters for the win!

We were absolutely blown away by Nelson from VIP Waiters, who performed as a singing waiter at our wedding. Including him in our day was the best decision we made. From the moment he stepped into the role, he seamlessly blended in with the waiting staff, surprising all of our guests when he suddenly broke into song after some oscar-worthy acting when he fell down in front of the entire wedding breakfast! His voice was incredible, and his performance brought a level of energy and fun to the reception that we could never have imagined. Nelson had everyone on their feet, singing along and dancing, making the evening unforgettable. His professionalism, talent, and ability to engage the crowd were second to none. We can’t recommend him enough – he was a true highlight of our special day! Thank you Nelson!

Want to say a huge thank you to Gareth…

Want to say a huge thank you to Gareth who stood in for Nelson on our big day!!! The guest loved it and even the groom which was a complete surprise! Nelson was brilliant at keeping communication top secret and was able to pull off the surprise without the groom suspecting anything which for me was a big tasks itself keeping it from him. Gareth was fantastic and such a lovely gentlemen our day is a day everyone is still talking about!
Thank you again guys!!!!

I would highly recommend Nelson

I would highly recommend Nelson. From the very first conversation about my son’s wedding surprise he was engaging, full of energy and bursting with enthusiasm. He certainly did not disappoint he entertained us with all the enthusiasm that he had displayed at the beginning. Everybody had fun and he had everyone up out of their seats singing and joining in which really broke the ice and got the party started.

The best singing waiter

From start to finish Nelson played a fantastic part at our wedding. This was a surprise for Groom, my husband. Watching Nelson chatting with the guests and serving us definitely added a comical element to the day. And then when the big reveal happened it definitely added another element to our day which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. I would 100% recommend Nelson for your big day, you will not regret it.

From the moment he stepped into the room, Nelson brought an infectious energy that set the perfect tone for the entire celebration.

He effortlessly engaged our guests, creating an atmosphere of joy and laughter that resonated throughout the evening. His surprise performances were a delightful highlight, catching everyone off guard in the best possible way.

But it wasn't just about the laughs—Nelson's singing was absolutely phenomenal. His powerful voice and captivating stage presence left everyone in awe. Each song was performed with such passion and skill that it felt like a private concert tailored just for us.

Nelson didn't just entertain; he connected with our guests, making each person feel like a part of the show. His charm and wit were a perfect match for our celebration, and he seamlessly integrated into the event, making it all the more special.

We highly recommend Nelson the Singing Waiter to anyone looking to add a unique and memorable touch to their wedding or any special occasion.

Nelson from VIP waiters performed at…

Nelson from VIP waiters performed at mine and Rory’s wedding two weeks ago.
In a nutshell he was absolutely amazing.
My friends and family are still telling me how fantastic he was. He mingled in with the waiting team so well, I’d even go as far as saying he was better as a waiter than the actually waiting team!
When he fell over and dropped his tray; well that was just brilliant! All my friends and family fell for it! Then bam!!! He’s up singing!!
Just incredible!! He got the party started for sure!
Thank you soo much Nelson !!
I’ve recommended you to a few people now and I know they will book you!
I can only you give you 5 stars on here but really you need 100 stars and more!
