Mr and Mrs Masters

Myself and my husband booked Nelson as a surprise for our guests. Nelson blended in with the Hotels service staff so well. When it came to the time Nelson fell over all our guests panicked and went rushing over to help him, Nelson played it so well a bridemaids was about to call a ambulance and guest where getting jacket to put over him and under his head. The moment Nelson started to get up and began singing all our guest where shocked and totally surprised. He had people singing along straight away and everyone on their feet. It truly made the wedding and people couldn't stop talking about it. Nelson you are amazing!! Thank you again the new Mr and Mrs Masters x

Nelson was amazing at my wedding. He got the crowd up on their feet and lifted the mood of the whole building. I would recommend him to anyone having a wedding coming up. The best decision we made.

Nelson is absolutely incredible

Nelson is absolutely incredible.

I have been a wedding manager for years now and work with lots of amazing suppliers but Nelson really stood out to me. He was helping out with the staff all day to really build up the rapport with the guests and when it was time for his performance, he really got the guests engaged and enjoying themselves, it was a huge hit! To add to his performance he was an absolute pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a singing waiter or some form of entertainment for your wedding day, I would definitely recommend Nelson from VIP Waiters.

WOW WOW WOW!!

WOW WOW WOW!!! Hired Nelson as a surprise for my brother’s wedding. After seeing the reaction when I turn up to a wedding reception and everyone was buzzing about it. So grabbed the chance and had to wait to see it for my own eyes. The way everyone gets up and dancing 💃 🕺 is great! Would highly recommend Nelson for your big day.

AMAZING

Nelson was an absolute dream to work with! From the moment we met, he exuded professionalism and a genuine passion for his craft. His ability to blend seamlessly into our team was remarkable, making it impossible for anyone to suspect he wasn't a genuine member of staff. The "fall" was spectacular!! Nobody suspected Nelson- He really got the party going.. It was truly a testament to his talent and dedication. We can't recommend Nelson highly enough – he's a fantastic addition to any wedding day.

Our guests loved it!

Thank you Nelson! Our guests absolutely loved the Singing Waiter act. Nelson had everyone up dancing during the wedding breakfast and the guests genuinely had no idea as Nelson was serving drinks throughout the day.

Thank you again!

What a start to the party!!

Originally I was going to book Nelson as a surprise for my husband on our wedding day, but instead I told him and we booked him together, but I wish I had kept it as a surprise!
Nelson was absolutely incredible!!

Firstly, his personality is infectious! From our first meet at a wedding fair, to our zoom and emails, you can tell from the messages he sends that he's going to provide good fun.
Nelson was easy to get in contact with, professional and helpful.

On the day he blended in seamlessly with the staff so no one suspected he was anything other than a waiter, which made the shock of the start of his act even more of a surprise.

He got EVERYONE up and dancing before the party had even got started- even the people who 'don't dance' 😂😂
We had an absolutely incredible time kicking off with waving of napkins, to a conga around the room and even some karaoke from a guest, groom and bride to Mr Brightside.
So many of our guests came and told us how much they loved it (even if how he started the set gave them an initial shock- Nelson can act!!! 🙌🏻)
and how much fun they had.
Thank you, Nelson for all the fun you brought to our wedding!! We would 100% recommend you and hope to see you at future weddings, but don't worry we will keep your secret!

Nelson the best singing waiter

Nelson really did help make our day. Professional to the last, he fitted in when pretending to be part of the team at Chapel House and when he fell over as the beginning of his act he was so convincing a number of my friends were thinking of calling 999. There were a few people in the room that I didn’t think would get involved with some of the singing and dancing but boy was I wrong. Would I recommend yes yes and more yes. Thankyou for being part of our wedding day giving us and our guests memories for a lifetime

From the moment I took his first call

From the moment I took his first call, I knew I had to have Nelson for our wedding. He explained the process clearly & was incredibly professional & charming from the outset. He said he would create carnage on the day & he really delivered! I can honestly say it was the highlight of the day, everyone was up on their feet, waving napkins, copying his actions, conga lines all around the venue, we laughed so much! Nelson is a legend!

Highly recommend

We booked Nelson at VIP Waiters for our wedding in March. He set the tone for what was an amazing day. We really can’t put into words just how good he was at getting the party started. When he tells you he will get everyone off their seats he really does mean it. 120 guests singing and dancing alongside him. He was the highlight of our wedding. His choice of songs is amazing and there was something for everyone. Thank you once again, Nelson. Can’t recommend you enough!
