Singing Waiters in France are a surprise entertainment act, used for a wide range of different events, from weddings, birthday parties and corporate events.  We cater for any event and cover whole of France (and beyond – Let us know if you have an event in a different country – we can do it!)

At first, we appear to be just your normal everyday waiters, moving around your guests, being friendly and chatting. We can be found pouring drinks and serving food, we have even been known to run gin bars and cocktail bars!! In reality, we are a team of incredibly talented professional singers. When the moment is right, the Waiters attract the attention of the room (we won’t say how as that would spoil the surprise!) and burst into song – taking all your guests by surprise with an interactive set of songs that will have everyone on their feet.

One of the best things about Singing Waiters is that the act can be tailored to meet your needs and the atmosphere you want.

A Singing Waiter in France performance typically involves one or more professionally trained Singers, who go undercover, pretending to be waiting staff at your event. After liaising with you, the performance will begin at a scheduled time and will usually begin with some kind of prepared accident. We love working out different ways of doing this. This will naturally draw the attention of your guests, at which point our Singing Waiters will take the opportunity to begin their performance.

Our professional Singers at Singing Waiters in France are experienced in the musical industry, some come from performing on the London West End in London, some on French TV (The Voice and Nouvelle Star), all of them have breathtaking vocals that will get your party started. Whatever music genre or songs you have in mind, Singing Waiters in France have the vocal talent to execute it well and hugely impress the guests at your event. The songs that make up the performance are arranged beforehand, so that the audience can get the maximum enjoyment from the surprise.

We bring all the equipment so just leave it all to us to arrange. Should it be required some of our Singers play guitar and can bring that along too – we like to mix it up a bit! We have lots of ideas to share with you to make it that little bit different. We will even lend you our microphones and PA systems to deliver your speeches – great if you haven’t told your future other half we are coming – we love being sneaky and plotting the surprise with you!

Our performance starts along time before your guests arrive and you arrive. We arrive before everyone else, carry out some sound checks, then we immediately get into character. We go undercover, pretending to be waiters and secretly get to know everyone in the room. We blend in with the real venue staff for the first couple of hours – when the moment is right, we spring our surprise on your unsuspecting guests. We then perform an interactive set of between 8 songs on average, it’s your event so we tailor it to your preferences and usually lasts around 30-40 minutes depending on the audience and how much participation there it. We are happy to be there and entertain – so we are usually there for a good 3 hours plus and really become part of your event.
