Booked for Wedding

The band were great and really added to the atmosphere of our wedding reception. They played contemporary music and it sounded great; everyone loved them. Initially our music requests were denied but we were happily surprised to hear it played which meant a lot. The lads that came were not the band shown in the photo but it wasn’t a problem for us. They were very professional. I would recommend, thank you 🙏🏻

Beci was absolutely brilliant! Beci was responsive throughout and catered to our needs perfectly. She gave a lovely performance of a song which is special to us during our ceremony and our guests loved the looping she did with her violin during the reception. Thank you!

Booked for Wedding

David made our wedding! There was barely a dry eye in sight (including my 3YO who wasn’t sure of the bagpipes haha) it’s something that meant a lot to us and without David it wouldn’t have been as special! Communication in the lead up was fab; David is very polite and accommodating, on the day David definitely ‘looked the part’ and we even got some photos after which I can’t wait to see! Thank you David for being such a big part of our day, being from Scottish families we will definitely be keeping your details to hand for future celebrations! Thank you again! If you’re on the fence about booking -do it! You will not be disappointed!!

Booked for Birthday party

The Astonishing Waiters are absolutely astonishing, they recently performed at my 50th Birthday Party, at our local pub and they did not disappoint. They were reliable, professional and so lovely with my guests. Prior to the event, they liaised with the venue to do all the organising and I did not have to worry about a thing. They set up all their equipment before the guests arrived, were dressed in the same uniform as the bar staff and blended in by collecting glasses and helping with the buffet. None of my guests had a clue, and when they started singing, heads turned, phones came out and everyone were laughing and smiling even more. The Astonishing Waiters, are very talented, with such wonderful singing voices, they engaged with the audience in a fun and friendly manner, balance the right amount of performance and entertainment with comedic interactions. I now want another party, so I can have these two perform again. I have attended other functions with singing waiters, but they were not a patch on Robin and Dominic. My guests absolutely loved them and their performance, they appealed to the youngsters, the middle aged and the older folks, and sang a wide variety of songs. I highly recommend the Astonishing Waiters for any event and they are also very good value too.

Booked for Private party

After arriving a little late (hence the lack of a fifth star) once settled in I have to say that the guys nailed it! Great interaction with the crowd, got people literally standing on the tables and chairs. Set the atmosphere for a great night. Would certainly recommend.
