Poolside Relaxation and & a Crazy Conga!

MAGICAL MOMENTS WE’VE MADE!
In this new segment, we are looking back at the Singing Waiters our teams have performed at that have stayed long in the memory. Whether that be for the location, the staff, the audience or the entire event itself, we have had the privilege to be a part of some very special events.

Poolside Relaxation and & a Crazy Conga!
Our 1st Magical Moment takes us back to September 2022 when our team of Amanda & Elizabeth visited the fabulous Barnstaple Hotel in Devon for the wedding breakfast of Claire and Adrian. As the amazing staff of The Barnstaple had the proceedings under control, our team were allowed access to the poolside area to relax, soak up some sun and stay hidden from the guests they were there to surprise. Luckily, neither of them felt the urge to go for dip.

When the performance kicked off, the guests were all in the mood to have a good time. We sometimes finish our routines by getting the bride to lead a conga line around the room. Thankfully the bride was happy to oblige and as she danced round the room, more of her guests joined the line. But they weren’t the only ones in the conga line, the wedding coordinator and some of her staff also joined in. To see that they were enjoying the party atmosphere as much as our Bride and Groom was incredible for our Singing Waiters.

1ST CALL RECOMMENDS – PAPRIKA BRISTOL

  By

We at 1st Call perform in a variety of different venues and occasions for Singing Waiters. Whether it be wedding breakfasts, birthday parties or corporate events, our teams can adapt their skills to any occasion. Then we heard (via the amazing team at Whats On Bristol) from Tan, the owner of Paprika Bristol, an Indian restaurant based in South Bristol who were looking to do something a little different for their 10th anniversary weekend of celebration.

Their idea was to have our Singing Waiters perform 4 times (twice on Friday, twice on Saturday) for their customers in the restaurant. A Singing Waiters, open to the public and performed back-to-back between sittings, was a challenge that we were all excited to undertake. With our teams chosen (Peter/Elizabeth for Friday and Elizabeth/Stephen for Saturday) and the specifics for the events in place, Paprika’s weekend of celebration was an incredible success. Their customers for the weekend even included the Deputy Mayor of Bristol. The food was delicious and the customers enjoyed joining in with our singing waiters, singing and dancing along with every song.

But what made the weekend so fantastic was Tan, his brilliant team of waiters and chefs, a venue that is aesthetically beautiful and food of the highest standard and taste. Our three Singing Waiters even returned to Paprika following on from the event to enjoy the glorious food for themselves. It was 5 stars across the board from Peter, Elizabeth and Stephen.

If you’re looking for a restaurant that has a great atmosphere, welcoming staff that make you feel like part of the family and food that will have you planning to return before you’ve left, Paprika Bristol is the place for you. They also do takeaways!

SO, WHAT HAVE WE BEEN UP TO?

SO, WHAT HAVE WE BEEN UP TO?

It was a joyful June for us here at 1st Call with some amazing Singing Waiters that our teams performed at:

– Hartham Park, Corsham (Wedding) – This was our 1st visit to this stunning Georgian 50-acre estate for the wedding of Ashley & Abbie (booked by Teresa). The bride and groom were completely unaware and when it was time to perform, our Mrs. & Mr. team of Elizaeth & Stephen we’re thrilled to see the happy couple and all their guests were in the mood to celebrate in style. A special mention goes to Chloe and all her team at Hartham Park who made our team feel so welcome.

– The White Barn, Somerset (Wedding) – We visited this West Country jewel of a venue to surprise the guests of Casey Marie and Luke’s wedding breakfast. To accompany the big personalities that our team of Peter, Ian and Emma had fun with on the day was a cake that left the team speechless at almost 12 feet tall. This was certainly a culinary masterpiece to remember.

– Paintworks, Bristol (Corporate Party) – Booked as part of the 20th anniversary celebrations of Vulcain Engineering, our team visited The Paintworks in Bristol. This reimagined creative quarter saw almost 200 members of Vulcain’s family come together for delicious food (Relish Catering) combined with an awards ceremony celebrating the achievements of their staff. Our team of Amanda, Elizabeth and Stephen earned an MVP award as they served a fabulous performance, keeping the energy levels as high as the temperature.

– Aylburton Village Hall, Lydney (Wedding) – On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, our team of Carol and Stephen visited this quaint little venue for the wedding breakfast of Phaedra & Niall. Booked for the 3rd time by the Godmother of the bride (Sara) our team had an amazing time with a wedding party who were not going to let the heatwave stop them from celebrating in style. A “fireball’” of a group.

– Froginwell Vineyard, Exeter (Wedding) – Returning to this ideallic venue for the 3rd time in 4 years, our “partners in wine” (Peter and Michelle) visited for the wedding breakfast of Emily & Brandon. The stunning vineyard in the Devonshire countryside is a perfect wedding venue and combined with the amazing team of Titley Green caterers, our Singing Waiters had everything they needed to sing and surprise the house down with a fabulous group of guests.

To see more about the above events, please visit our Facebook page.

Thank you to all our customers who chose 1st Call Singing Waiters for their event and to the amazing venues that we hope to visit again in the future.

Peter and Ian did a smashing job!

  By

I booked 1st Call Singing Waiters as a surprise for my wife and guest at Kingscote Barn, and they absolutely blew everyone away. From the moment they started singing, the atmosphere completely changed within minutes they had everyone on their feet, dancing, laughing, and loving every second.

Peter and Ian did a smashing job. They were incredibly friendly, full of energy, and sang brilliantly. The surprise element was spot on and it became one of the highlights of the entire day.

If you’re looking for something fun, unforgettable, and guaranteed to get all your guests involved, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. An amazing experience from start to finish!

Thank you,

Hannah and Max

The best surprise for our wedding!

Hi Julian,

Peter and Elizabeth were the best surprise for our wedding yesterday!!

They got the party started, and bought everyone together. They were true professionals, singers and all round performers. One of the main highlights of our big day.

Would 100% recommend.

Last Minute Booking, Nothing Was Too Much Trouble

  By

We booked 1st call singing waiters for our wedding last minute due to another company letting us down.

Julian was so friendly and helpful, and made our dreams come true! He was very response and reassuring and nothing was too much trouble.

On our wedding day we had 2 waiters for 95 people and it was incredible! The singing waiters mingled around with the catering waiters to have their faces seen and it was a complete surprise for everyone when they burst into song during dessert!

They got the guests up off their seat and it was a fantastic way to fill that usual “lull” after the wedding breakfast. Everyone commented how much fun it was and was a great atmosphere it brung, we can’t thank them enough for completing our wedding day.

They even ended on an S Club 7 song which was a special request! I can’t recommend them enough.

Thank you 🤩

Sarah
