100% highly recommend Nelson!

Only us (the bride and groom) knew about Nelson in advance and we had been so excited in the wedding build up and Nelson certainly did not disappoint. It is worth first mentioning that Nelson was very responsive and helpful from our first contact and was very flexible and accommodating throughout.

Us and our guests absolutely loved Nelson’s part of the day and we are all still laughing at how much everyone was initially in panic mode after Nelson fell, in particular the father of the groom and a family member who was a doctor!

Nelson’s part was both of our highlight of the entire day and probably was that of our guests too! Nelson is extremely talented and really knows how to get a crowd going, even people who wouldn’t normally be confident enough to dance, ended up doing the conga around the room and ultimately dancing! The atmosphere at the wedding was already at a great level but Nelson just took the atmosphere up another notch. He definitely got the party started!

It is a couple of a weeks on from the wedding now but many of our guests are still speaking about Nelson and telling all their family and friends about how amazing he was.

Thank you so much again for everything Nelson and for helping make our wedding day so amazing! Without doubt, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding was to book Nelson and we would 100% highly recommend booking him to anyone contemplating a singing waiter!

I can't praise VIP Waiters enough for their outstanding performance at our wedding! They truly made the event unforgettable by cleverly posing as waiters and then surprising everyone with their incredible singing talent. The way they got every guest dancing and singing along created an electrifying atmosphere - it felt like a fun-filled cardio workout for all! Their surprise element was the talk of the wedding, and we are thrilled to have booked them. If you want to add a unique and memorable touch to your event, don't hesitate to choose VIP Waiters; they'll bring the party and leave everyone with unforgettable memories!

Highly recommended

Highly recommend Nelson to all wedding couples looking for a bit of fun during their wedding breakfast.
All guests & staff were completely in shock when Nelson "fell over" then in 30 seconds snapped into singing. An amazing addition added to the day and was truly enjoyed by everyone.

Highly recommend Nelson!

We booked Nelson last minute for our wedding which for us worked perfectly in order to keep it a secret from our guests. The commitment to the cover up is second to none and our guests were completely surprised when Nelson burst into song. The songs are personalised to you which makes such a difference to the experience! So pleased we booked him and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a singing waiter.

Venue Review

Nelson came to us for a wedding and wasn't one for standing around, he blended into the team incredibly well, interacting with wedding guests, serving tables before it was show time. the package you get is well worth it. will look forward to welcoming him back.

One of the best parts of our wedding day!! (As confirmed by all of our guests)

Nelson was just amazing from start to finish. I had booked him as a surprise for my husband and it couldn’t have gone better! In about 30 seconds he had everyone on their feet, dancing and singing. It will honestly be such a fun and special memories for us all for ever.

He was responsive, friendly and I will be/have been recommending him to anyone I know getting married! Everyone I spoke with said this was the highlight of their day - so thank you x100!

Wow!! Absolutely incredible!!!!

Wow!!! Nelson at VIP Waiters was everything I could have imagined and more!!!
From the very first time we spoke, the service I was given was incredible! On the day, he arrived to serve canapés and welcome drinks to blend in, after dessert came the fall…everyone was so shocked and gathered round to help, it was so believable!
The songs were amazing and so interactive, we did conga lines and I lived my dirty dancing dreams by being picked up to ‘Time of my Life’!
It was absolutely amazing and really got the party started, I cannot recommend him enough! If you are debating booking, PLEASE DO IT!!!! You won’t regret it!
Thankyou again!! 🕺🏽🤍🥳

Wow 5*

Wow! Iv seen a few singing waiters over the years and thought what a great idea bit of entertainment nice surprise for the guests! But Nelson took it to another level!
So after Mum said she just wants everyone to have fun at her wedding, we booked Nelson for my Dad and Mum as a gift, after meeting him at a wedding fair, speaking with Nelson I felt he was compassionate about delivering what I was after for Mum and Dad! Well he did not fail!!! if anything he exceeded I could not recommend him enough 5* every single one of their guests was out of their seats dancing and most importantly having fun! If you want everyone at your wedding to be a wow wedding booking Nelson you won’t be disappointed!

My son and daughter in law booked us Nelson for our wedding day as a surprise and he was just fantastic! Not only can he sing, and get your ALL your guests to join in and have fun, but he can also wait on tables and pretend to fall over ( funny story) and leave you all with the best memories to last a lifetime….. on top of all this he is the warmest, kindest and nicest person you could ever meet….. thank you Nelson, you made our day!

The entertainment for our wedding that we never knew we needed!

VIP Waiters made sure all our guests were ready for an evening of partying after the wedding breakfast. Managed to get all guests (from 6 years old to 70+ years) up dancing and singing along.

All guests were taken aback by the surprise and what an amazing addition to our day was! Nobody's stopped talking about it since!!!!

Thank you for making our wedding so unique and special. As one of our guests said "the wedding that kept on giving" and I think that's largely down to VIP Waiters!
