Nelson got our wedding party roaring

We booked a number of entertainments for our wedding in August 2024. Nelson was easily the best act ... He got all of our guests (aged 10 to 80+) dancing, jumping, twirling, singing and joining the conga lines. His energy was contagious. He let us choose our songs and listened to our needs.
Everything was going well and people were happy enough ... but once Nelson crashed the party, it realy really got started. We have loads of photos of happy guests, twirling napkins. Hiring Nelson was one of our best decisions for the day. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Singing Waiter Company!

Nelson and his team are a fantastic addition to any special day. Not only are they talented singers, but amazing actors too! They completely change the atmosphere within the Wedding Breakfast and get the party started. They are interactive, fun and a real crowd pleaser. As a venue, Nelson and his team are easy to work with and we enjoy having VIP Waiters performing with us. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

Well what can other than 5 stars 🌟

Well what can other than 5 stars 🌟

Nelson when I first met him I knew he was going to be fun, professional, and obviously charming.

When it got to the wedding day, the first time I saw him was when he greeted my husband and myself at the end of the aisle with a glass of champagne each. (My husband didn’t have a clue who Nelson was, as I booked it in secret)

He carried out the down serving canapés and being his fun professional self. Then when it was his time to shine at the end of the wedding breakfast he did just that. My guests thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment Nelson put on and I would 100% recommend him to anyone.

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.

Nelson was AMAZING!

Nelson was bloody amazing! From the moment I booked him I knew we were going to have a great time. He arrived super early to ‘look the part’ and no one ever suspected a thing! So many people fell for it but EVERYONE was up dancing and having a great time. Thank you Nelson for such an amazing surprise🫶🏼

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 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.

Nelson the Singing Waiter

Nelson the Singing Waiter

We had the absolute pleasure of having Nelson the Singing Waiter perform at our wedding on the 11th of July at the Olde Bell, and we couldn't be more thrilled with his performance! From the moment he stepped into the room, Nelson brought an infectious energy that set the perfect tone for the entire celebration.

Nelson's comedic timing was impeccable, and his ability to blend humor with heartfelt moments truly made our wedding unforgettable. 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. His talent, humor, and charisma truly made our wedding day extraordinary. Thank you, Nelson, for being such a fantastic part of our celebration—you totally made the wedding!
