Recently we were booked through the website to make an unusual contribution to a wedding reception at the Park Royal Hotel in Warrington. We arrived early to "act" like the catering staff - you know; handing out bucks fizz and canapés, etc..  We were successful in convincing guests that we were just "staff"

 

THEN... with no warning we suddenly burst into song, on a cue from Chris - a splendid concert pianist in his own right - singing Panis Angelicus, The Flower Duet, O Sole Mio, and so on (according to the nature of the courses being served).
 
Just look at the reaction from the top table as the guests were  encouraged to join in with "O Sole Mio" (chorus = "Just One Cornetto")
 
It made it all worthwhile!

Please note that we are based in North Cheshire!

What can I say other than a huge thank you for all your help, enthusiasm and hard work over the past couple of months, and especially last night.
 
Everyone of our guests loved what you did and I think having you at the reception will be what marks our daughter's wedding out from all the others.
 
You were all superb!  I knew you could do it and I knew how hard you were working to make it a success, it really was wonderful and I hope that you had almost as much pleasure out of the evening as we did, you certainly all seemed to be enjoying yourselves!
 
It has been a real pleasure meeting you all and I wish you lots more gigs in the future, I also hope, sincerely that our paths may cross again, who knows.
 
Now get something on your website and start putting yourselves about a bit more for wedding receptions.  I see long summer evenings in your posh frocks entertaining guests in marquees, church hall, hotels....wherever!  Every success.  You deserve it.
 
So, thanks a million for really putting the icing on my cake! I knew you could do it and your enthusiasm has been such a help all the way along. I do sincerely hope that our paths will cross again in the future

It was a superb day and the singing waiters were splendissimo

What an amazing find - the singing waiters.  The Cornetto chorus has got to be the most fun ever had at a wedding breakfast

Everything about the day was so beautifully organised - and the singing waiters were a real treat.  Well done!

Thank you for such a wonderful day.  The memory of the 'singing waiters' will be with us for quite a while and we'll think about them every time we hear Panis Angelicus.

Thanks again, we know you worked very hard to make sure it was a great day and I hope you know how important that is to us.
 
Take care and if you have such a thing as a mailing list for events, add us to it
