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 you are amazing!
Nelson you are amazing!! Our guests were blown away and everyone’s still talking about it! The best entertainment for any occasion - would highly recommend Nelson if you want something special for your wedding! Thankyou again! X
Nelson from VIP Waiters a legend
We booked Nelson from VIP Waiters as a surprise for our guests. He did not disappoint! He had everyone up singing and dancing and loving every moment. With guests wanting more! He was fantastic and highly recommend to anyone looking for something a little different for their special day! Thanks Nelson
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

Thank you again Nelson x
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!

Wedding Day Surprise
Nelson was amazing, he promised to get the party started and boy did he deliver, everyone up on their feet singing and dancing. My daughter and son-in-law absolutely loved it, thank you so much ❤️
Nelson was the best singing waiter we have ever seen
Nelson was so good at mixing in with the staff at Salomons Estate, he worked throughout the whole day and everyone was so shocked and excited when they realised he was a singing waiter! he created such an amazing experience for the bride, groom and also the guests.
definitely book if you want everyone to remember your wedding forever with laughter, love and dancing.
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!
Nelson the legend!
We couldn’t recommend Nelson from VIP waiters highly enough, he was brilliant! Added great entertainment to the day. This may not be something you feel your wedding needs but trust us it adds another level to an already amazing day. He really does “ Get the party started!” Thank you Nelson you smashed it 🫶
Don’t even think twice - just do it!
VIP Waiters is a fantastic supplier to make your wedding day magic!
Nelson did a fantastic job from start to finish. Within minutes of our first call we knew it was the a brilliant addition to our day and we trusted Nelson would deliver - AND DELIVER HE DID!
Our guests were WOWd by the performance and the fall really got some people convinced - even a 999 call was ready to be made!
This was a secret both the bride, groom and father of the bride kept and it was so worth it! Nelson tailored the songs so that each was a memory in our life’s or relationship - it was magic!
Planning a wedding a thinking of ways to make it unique and memorable these days is such a challenge but trust this random bride when I say DO IT!
Our email just before the big day to Nelson was “Our family and friends are more clap along and enjoy the show then get involved and dance” and let’s just say even my 87 year old grandad did a little dance before it was all too loud as the whole room was up singing at the top of their lungs!
Thank you Nelson, it is a memory we will share with friends, family and future children ❤️
Don’t hesitate- book Nelson for your wedding
We were in two minds about booking a singing waiter for our wedding but I am so glad we booked Nelson
From the initial contact Nelson was amazing . We discussed what songs we wanted and he recommended a couple that he thought would go down well .
He was there when they were serving the canapés though to serving the meal so everyone was taken by surprise as they truly thought he was a member of staff at the hotel.
He got everyone up singing and dancing . He certainly knows how to entertain.
He was the highlight of our wedding and everyone really enjoyed it. He is genuinely a really nice guy and a fabulous entertainer.
He really set the tone for a great evening .
Go ahead and book him for your special day , you will not regret it !!!
Essex Wedding Awards Entertainment
Nelson was part of our awards event and we cant rave about him enough. His friendly and professional communication leading up to the event was brilliant. but on the night! WELL! he brought the house down and then some!!
It was a tough ask for him to entertain over 300 wedding professionals who had seen a singing waiter act once or twice before. But he managed amazingly and still got everyone guessing. We couldnt have asked for a more entertaining act to open our awards ceremony so huge than you to you Nelson xxx people are still talking about you and the event xx We would highly recommend Nelson to anyone looking for entertainment for their function or event x
I booked Nelson for our wedding last…
I booked Nelson for our wedding last minute as a surprise for my husband and it absolutely made our wedding the day it was. It brought the atmosphere up to 100% where it stayed for the rest of the day. Nelson was friendly and approachable and felt like one of our guests by the end of the day! I would 1000% recommend if you are considering! Our day would not have been the same without.
Booking Nelson is a decision you will not regret!
When we first met Nelson at a wedding event, we were instantly drawn to him by his funny and polite personality. We knew we had to have him at our wedding and went straight home and booked him. It was the best decision we made. He was spectacular! He really did get the party started. All our guests were up dancing, even our 90 year old Grandad! He spent most of the evening at our wedding, chatting with our guests and having photos with us in the selfie pod! We would 100% recommend Nelson, he is so friendly and felt like part of the family. He really did make our wedding the best it could be. Our guests absolutely loved him. Nelson, we can’t thank you enough!
Not sure who I was more excited to see Nelson or the Groom 🤣
Nelson at VIP waiters was the most EPIC surprise EVER!! I contacted Nelson with something different to the service he normally provides, I asked him to gatecrash our woodland wedding ceremony. Right from the initial conversation he was so helpful, despite it not being his normal set up he immediately started thinking about how he could make it work and my goodness did he succeed! He disguised himself as venue staff and everyone gathered around sympathetically when he tripped and appeared to badly injure himself. Not only is his voice brilliant his acting is second to none as well no one suspected a thing….not even the groom! We planned a very relaxed, fun boho type of wedding and I particularly didn’t want the awkward standing around between ceremony and photos….Nelson filled that void and totally exceeded expectations! He absolutely made the woods come alive!! Every guest from 5 - 87 years old were up dancing and singing, the rapport he built and atmosphere he created was incredible! The amazing comments we had from guests was totally overwhelming and lots said it was the best wedding they had been too! It was truly the highlight of our day and gave us memories to last a lifetime! We can’t Thank you enough Nelson and hope our paths cross again in the future!
Everyone loved it!…
Everyone was totally surprised but absolutely loved the experience and got involved i would highly recommend it truly got the party started!
