The Essential Secret Singers

Overview

The Essential Secret Singers are a high-end secret waiters show and one of the most memorable surprises you can give your guests. Two glamorous, highly experienced female vocalists join your venue's team as waiting staff, quietly serving, chatting and blending in, until the moment they drop the trays and stun the room with a live performance nobody saw coming.

How the surprise works. The singers spend 30 to 45 minutes serving your guests so that no one suspects a thing. Then comes the "scare": a waitress who has just topped up your glass suddenly bursts into song, her colleague joins in across the room, and the jaws start dropping. From there they deliver 20 to 25 minutes of showstopping vocals, working their way through the tables and getting everyone involved. Timings can be adjusted on request, so the reveal lands exactly when you want it.

Polished, professional and great fun. This is a slick, glamorous show from experienced performers who know how to work a crowd. They bring real wow factor, read the room brilliantly and have guests of every generation laughing, singing along and on their feet. It's a fantastic way to break the ice at a wedding breakfast, lift the mood between courses, or get a party started.

Perfect for weddings, corporate events and parties. The Essential Secret Singers are a popular choice for wedding receptions, corporate dinners, awards nights, conferences and milestone celebrations, anywhere you want a talking point your guests will remember for years. Couples have booked them at venues including the Eglinton Arms Hotel.

What's included. Two secret singers, their own PA system, public liability insurance and PAT-tested equipment.

What clients say. One couple described them as an "absolutely unbelievable act", saying their guests couldn't stop talking about it all night and that the singers really got the party started.

FAQs

How does the secret waiters surprise work?

The Essential Secret Singers join your venue's team as waiting staff and spend the first part of the evening serving and chatting with your guests, just like everyone else on shift. Then, at the moment you choose, they reveal themselves with a live vocal performance that takes the whole room by surprise.

Will our guests really not suspect anything?

That's the whole point. The singers spend 30 to 45 minutes serving and mingling first, so by the time the reveal comes they're simply part of the furniture. As one of our couples put it, from the first "scare" their guests couldn't stop talking about it all night.

How long do they perform for?

As standard, the singers spend 30 to 45 minutes serving to blend in, followed by 20 to 25 minutes of performing. Alternative timings may be available on request, so just let us know what you have in mind when you enquire.

When is the best time for the reveal?

Many clients choose the wedding breakfast or dinner, between courses, when everyone is seated and the surprise has the biggest impact. It also works brilliantly to get a party started. Talk it through with us and we'll help you pick the moment that suits your day.

How many singers are there?

The show is performed by two secret singers, both glamorous and highly experienced female vocalists who know how to work a room.

Does our venue need to know?

Yes. To pull off the surprise, the singers need to work alongside your venue's own staff, so the venue has to be in on the secret. We'd also suggest keeping it to a very small circle beyond that, so your guests get the full effect.

Are The Essential Secret Singers suitable for corporate events?

Absolutely. As well as weddings, they're a superb choice for corporate dinners, awards nights, conferences and parties, anywhere you want a talking point that breaks the ice and gets everyone involved.

Do they bring their own equipment?

Yes. The Essential Secret Singers provide their own PA system, so there's nothing for you or your venue to arrange on that front.

Are they insured and PAT tested?

Yes. The Essential Secret Singers hold public liability insurance and all of their equipment is PAT tested, which most venues will ask to see.

Can we see them in action before booking?

Yes. You'll find a video on their profile page, along with photos and reviews from past clients. If you'd like to know more, call the Hireaband team and we'll happily answer any questions.
