The style and format of the Totally Spontaneous Singing Waiters does not derive from the close harmony tradition of the barbershop quartet. They are an a cappella quartet who sing beautiful harmonies but that is where the similarities end...
The are instead highly trained classical performers each successful soloists in their own right with an added talent of being able to sing harmoniously as a team and blend weaving in and out of lush operatic and musical theatre melodies supporting each voice with vocal harmonies. They have teamed up with a very clever musical arranger who has taken the best bits of the operatic favorites and musical theatre hits that we all love and melded into a striking and unique performance which is totally fresh extremely clever and totally spontaneous! It is unrestrained virtuoso singing combined with pure fun and entertainment.
Our 'waiters' typically begin by quietly blending with your regular waitstaff charming guests and becoming increasingly obvious at being completely useless waiters. They then proceed to create an entertaining scene in the middle of the room typically just after the main course has been served which culminates with the performers breaking out into song. The singers give a 20 minute performance give a bow and depart. If you would like to have a bit more our performers are then happy to do a costume change reappearing usually during desserts in formal dress to sing a second set. Totally Spontaneous usually perform for one or two 20 minute sets as part of the act but are happy to sing for a shorter performance if that is your preference although the rate does not go down for a shorter performance.
A wonderful surprise for your guests; waiters who work the tables performers who infiltrate the waitstaff at your event with charm and humour then suddenly burst into song with no warning making your guests gush with astonished awe!
The Totally Spontaneous Singing Waiters have a fantastic unique repertoire of popular opera and musical theatre hits as well as some modern arrangements and are happy to design the programme with or for you based on your requests and preferences.
The Totally Spontaneous Singing Waiters a cappella act requires four voices (soprano mezzo tenor and bass). Unlike other acts this one is not tied to recorded or piano accompaniment and is therefore extremely flexible about where to perform and can easily conform to any event regardless of the physical and technical limitations of the venue.
This dynamic act will adapt easily to a small intimate gathering of anywhere from 2 to 90 guests without any technical requirements at all or a larger event with full audio tech.
Our singers subtly infiltrate your event blending with your real waiting staff and provide sophisticated, high quality entertainment, but also adding a great element of fun which can be gauged and catered specifically to your event. The structure and content of our performance suits a wide spectrum of audience taste by taking away the seriousness often associated with opera and adding an element of fun, spontaneity and surprise. The act has proven equally successful to audiences from all walks of life, be they opera lovers or not, be it a dinner party of ten guests or a ballroom of a thousand, the structure of our singing waiters show along with the vast repertoire and experience of each of the performers allows our act to be easily customized to suit your unique request.

Nick N booked Totally Spontaneous for their Wedding in Bedfordshire
“Well, what can we say. Totally Spontaneous helped make our wedding the most perfect of days. They were brilliant, entertaining and truly wonderful. We thoroughly recommend this quartet. They’re all stars in our eyes.”
Even better than we were expecting!
Michael booked Totally Spontaneous for their Wedding in Shropshire
“We'd looked at a few videos of Totally Spontaneous performing at other weddings, and we were very impressed. Not only were they great singers, but they added showmanship and humour. None of our guests were prepared for the staff serving our prosecco and canapes to suddenly burst into song, and even our wedding photographer was moved to tears. We had asked them if they could perform Ave Maria by Gounod, a song which was not normally part of their repertoire. It is a favourite of ours, and they agreed to write an arrangement at no extra charge. They performed Ave Maria as an encore and it was truly moving, as all of our guests would testify. We highly recommend these very professional and talented singers.”
Unbelievable, incredible, entertaining
Kate W booked Totally Spontaneous for their event in Oxfordshire
“It is always hard to organise a big event. Stress, food, getting everyone in one place. And It was so refreshing to hear: ’ Don’t worry, we will do everything ourselves ??’. And indeed they did. Guests were surprised, laughing singing and even crying. I will definitely highly recommend Totally Spontaneous to anyone. Great communication through out before the party as well.”
The feedback from the guests was that they were 'blown away' by them.
Michael S booked Totally Spontaneous for their Wedding at Coombe Lodge in Somerset
“We really loved Totally Spontaneous. The feedback from the guests was that they were 'blown away' by them. Fabulous singing. Our only gripe would be with some of our guests who decided to talk through the performance. I suspect the shape of the room didn't help and so the guests furthest away from the group felt that they could talk. I hope that the singers were not put off by this. Cannot praise the group highly enough and would recommend them to anybody. ”
Their performance was stunning.
Debbie R booked Totally Spontaneous for their Wedding in Oxfordshire
“I want to thank you for the incredibly efficient way the booking of Totally Spontaneous was handled, thank you, I had to deal with many companies whilst organising my Son’s Wedding and it was a joy not to have to chase and keep re-confirming . Sarah and her singers were amazing, apart from being the nicest person she was incredibly well organised and professional . Their performance was stunning and all the guests were on their feet. My son and his Bride knew nothing about it and I wish you could have seen the look on their faces, it was priceless. Once again, very many thanks!”
