When does the show start?
The Sing Along Waiters® performance is designed to captivate and surprise your guests, so the ideal time for us to start is when everyone is seated and ready to be entertained.

Why us?
When it comes to booking entertainment for your event there are always options. But, choosing the right entertainment is crucial to ensuring that your celebration is a memorable one. The internet is full of companies offering singing waiters, but how do you know which one is the perfect fit for your event? With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to decide.
That's why it's important to consider the following factors when making your decision:
- At The Sing Along Waiters®, we are not a trend-chasing company, our focus is on providing exceptional entertainment that is tailored to your event.
- The Sing Along Waiters® are professional and experienced performers, with a proven track record of providing exceptional entertainment for Weddings, Corporate Events and Parties.
- The Sing Along Waiters® are experienced performers who have a deep understanding of how to engage and entertain an audience.We believe in a professional and polished performance, and avoid anything that could be construed as a negative - like having a fake argument, falling over or causing commotion which will alienate the audience and venue staff.
- There are some companies who charge a fortune for their service and send along ‘any available performer’ paying them a pittance and taking the lions share for themselves!
- We have seen that some companies will regularly advertise for literally anyone to cover their ‘singing waiter booking this weekend – no experience necessary!’ because they took the money without having confirmed availability of performers.
- We are aware that there are some companies have a lack of structure in their performances, allowing their performers to wing it and start singing without proper planning or coordination.
- Some companies prioritise client's preferences over performer's capabilities, resulting in last-minute set lists, forcing performers to sing songs they haven't rehearsed or are familiar with.
- We respect the event schedule and work with the client to find the best time for our performance. We know some companies will insist on performing at a specific time (after main course) that way they only do a quick 15 - 20 minutes so they can leave quickly to do another booking.
- We believe that the event is about the client and their guests, and we strive to make the performance an unforgettable experience for them. There are lots of wedding performers who think that the day is about them, having diva tantrums or acting like prima donnas, expecting everything to revolve around them.
- We are transparent in our pricing and do not add hidden charges for PA hire, accommodation, or travel expenses. Not every company thinks or acts this way.
- We understand the importance of marketing, but we also respect our clients' privacy and do not engage in aggressive or stalker-like behaviour.
- There are companies who market their performers as ‘all West End trained’ which is wonderful, but what has that got to do with your wedding or event? Can they entertain and control the audience to create amazing memories or will they just stand there and sing?
With so many options available. It can be difficult to navigate and decide which company to trust for your celebration. We want to be transparent about the industry and provide insight into common issues that our clients have encountered with other companies. Our goal is not to bash our competitors, but to assure you that when you choose The Sing Along Waiters® for your event, you can expect a seamless and professional experience.
