Corporate Entertainment with Singing Waiters in San Diego, CA

TAKING CORPORATE ENTERTAINMENT TO THE LIMIT

According to cheesesociety.org, “AFFINAGE”, is a French word that comes from the French verb Affiner, which comes from the Latin “ad finis”, meaning “towards the limit”….

Singing Waiter #3 enters...

Really, there are NO limits to this show…

And, with our most recent corporate party we did that and more this past weekend at the Sheraton, San Diego in San Diego, California.   In the words of Eagle’s band member, Randy Meisner, we managed to “take it to the limit”-it’s what our client wanted and that’s what he got.

“Affinage” in this case, was our most recent international corporate client.  Rooted in professional hair care and salons, we were honored to put on a show for such creative industry people.  This particular evening culminated meetings, sessions and business discussions.  The show was a perfect closing to a productive weekend for our clients, bringing levity and music to a multi-national audience.

Corporate Entertainment

Arguing Waiters?

MULTI-CULTURED AUDIENCES REQUIRE SPECIAL ATTENTION

Not only is language a possible barrier but cultures and traditions vary too.  This is all very important when deciding on any kind of entertainment options available for these kinds of events.  Our client was very happy to find us, knowing that we have extensive experience in global entertainment, having our roots firmly in European-styled entertainment such as the brand we now serve to our corporate clients in the US markets.

CUSTOMIZED CORPORATE ENTERTAINMENT

Many of our clients are corporations and sometimes have very specific criteria under which we must construct a show, that’s not only compliant but effective and entertaining.  We thrive in this environment. We love working with our corporate clients and this was no different.  Understanding that an international brand has its own specific needs, made us a good fit for this event-a win-win.

THE AMAZING WAITERS X3 SINGING WAITERS MARQUIS SHOW

Affinage wanted the full complement for their attendees.  And that’s what they got.  We were able to bring our two most seasoned guys and because our client trusted us, he allowed us to bring our girl fav, Kara to add a second layer of surprise to our show as our third singing waiter, making a stunning appearance as Marilyn Monroe, personified.  We won’t divulge how that was accomplished here but know that all the men in the audience will remember her for some time…

IN PURSUIT OF THE PERFECT ENTRANCE

“Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my closeup.”  Unfortunately our camera didn’t get a little closer…but HEY!  We’re a surprise.  Here is one our waiters stumbling (willingly) through his opening song.  AWKWARD…as it’s designed to be.

PUSHING ENTERTAINMENT LIMITS

Considering that every one of our singing waiters shows are unique and specially-written, we always strive to make every performance better than the one before.  It’s what drives us to make our corporate client’s number one but keeps us on our toes.  It’s what makes this kind of entertainment fun for us…and when we are having fun, we know your guests will too.  It’s quite infectious.  Even if our clients hire us for a “repeat” performance a year later, we always are able to throw a considerable wrinkle and even change the show completely, if needed.  It’s what makes us the most unique corporate entertainment act in the United States.

Corporate Entertainment at its best

Last Minute Entertainment

Last Minute Wedding Entertainment with Singing Waiters

Help!  I need last minute entertainment for my wedding!

As a bride and groom, wedding planner or party planner, this verbalization will force almost anyone affiliated into a cold sweat.

Last week, we received a call from a bride-to-be in Costa Mesa, California, saying those very words.

Choices In Last Minute Entertainment

For whatever reason, these things happen.  And, when it does, it can be a scary situation.  As a person searching for entertainment for one of the most important days in a person’s life, everything becomes amplified 100Xs.  It almost becomes life and death.  Choose incorrectly, and well, it’s documented forever in the wedding photos or worse yet, wedding video.

wedding-entertainment-stress

Having been there hundreds of times (entertaining for other peoples’ wedding receptions), we understand and we were happy to do everything we could to make this particular bride’s special (last minute) day, that much more memorable.

Unique, Fun and Engaging Wedding Entertainment

“Our bride was looking for something unique, fun and engaging…I think we delivered on that”.  In the end, we provided our two amazing singing waiters show, which entertained reception guests and wedding party in a way only The Amazing Waiters can do-through a uniquely-written script, intricately woven with a wide-range of music, which in included Broadway, Jazz (Rat Pack) and Pop (yes, it’s rangy) and it’s what we do best.  “This little gem touched on several musical tastes…including the Rat Pack/Sinatra-styled music which the Father of the Bride loved (he’s Italian!), and Pop music that the newly-weds gravitated to)”.  All-in-all, guests loved the variety and of course, the surprise that we packaged it all up with.

We wish you all the best!

50th Birthday Surprise with Singing Waiters

Posted on by

50th Birthday Surprise Party with 2 Singing Waiters

Parties are always fun, no matter the time of year. They’re even better when it’s your 50th birthday, surrounded by 50 of your closest friends.  Such was the case this past weekend in Calabasas, California for a 50th Birthday Surprise Party with The Amazing Waiters (just north of Los Angeles for those of you who don’t know where this is…it’s where Justin Bieber used to live before he sold to Khloe Kardashian in 2014, but we digress).  Needless-to-say, Calabasas is lovely.

We were contacted by the birthday girl’s mother who wanted to do something different and special for her daughter and thought The Amazing Waiters would be a nice addition to the festivities.  She wanted to keep it a surprise for her.

SOMETIME SECRETS HAVE TO BE TOLD

…as was the case here…

Do you know that person that you can NEVER keep a surprise from?

secrets sometimes need to be told

Well, the birthday girl was one of those people.  And it’s good she knew before the “surprise”.  We immediately received a call from here and we walked through our proposed surprise show for her.  After some discussion, we adjusted the show to her expectations regarding time line and music preference and immediately began refining her show.

SURPRISES ALL AROUND

Our 2 awesome singing waiters managed to surprise the fifty ladies (yes, all women at this birthday party) and we previously decided that our waiter, Allie would be a planted guest and at the “right” time, would be pulled into the show.  Actually, our waiter, Ben pulled her into the show through a brilliant rouse while he was posing the head waiter.  It never ceases to amaze guests when the waiter starts singing…and singing well.

As it became more evident that these waiters had skills, the show’s apex was some unique A Capella singing that went immediately into a song from the show Glee!, closing with Pharrell’s “Happy” (who doesn’t want to toe-tap to THAT?).

Mom and Daughter loved the show and what it brought to the party.  Guests had a great time and we did too!

Singing Waiters Entertain in Orange County

SINGING WAITERS ENTERTAIN IN ORANGE COUNTY

Singing Waiters Trio Show in Orange County

We love surprising guests in one of our backyards.   This time, our singing waiters performed in Orange County, California at the amazing 5 Star Pelican Hills Resort.  Every time we’re here, it’s a treat.  The staff is great to work with (we are usually dressed just like them and “work” along side them…carrying the stealthy element of our show to the limit.) and we get to see “old friends” every time we’re there.

A Great Ice-Breaker Idea

This event was a pre-wedding reception that took place the day before the wedding and was a sort of “get to know each other” before we all really party after the wedding kind of thing.  It was very casual.  Elegant but very inviting.   The reception was held on one of their patios right next to the Golf Course, alfresco.

Versatile Singing Waiters Entertainment

This Amazing Waiters show was a three singing waiters surprise show that featured two male and one female performer, posing as Pelican Hills Bistro Staff.   We were a gift by the Father of the Bride who wanted to have something unique and different at this gathering…something that would entertain and engage his guests.  Luckily for us, the surprise feature of our show was just what he had envisioned.  We conferenced with him and his daughter (the Bride-to-be) a couple of times and worked out the details for a surprise show (we were to surprise the Groom-to-be, as well) that included music from our Rat Pack, Italian and Operatic repertoire.  They also thought it best for us to use our own sound system since we were very familiar with it (a nice option if our clients are in Southern California).

The event space was very accommodating and the event/wedding planning staff that provided the décor and ambiance was spot on.

Our show was very well received and, even with some unexpected “live” elements (a guest getting up and dancing with our girl, Kara!) it just made the show that much more memorable for the guests.  See the video!

“You were a huge success…it was exactly what we wanted….”.  It’s always great to hear these words from the people that hire us.  Our Singing Waiters Entertain!

You’re most welcome!

Congratulations you newly-weds.  See you at your 5th anniversary!

Surprise Birthday Party

Surprise Birthday Party with The Amazing Waiters

Trabuco Canyon, California

Having started in Southern California, The Amazing Waiters have constructed a surprise birthday party…or two over the last decade but it never gets boring!

This past weekend, our 2 Amazing Waiters, Ryan and John were asked to surprise our host’s mother on her 80th Birthday.  “She loves Frank Sinatra and the music of the Rat Pack Era”…it’s what she grew up on and I know she would love it so much…it’s going to be my gift to her”.

It was a lovely indoor-outdoor setting for 15 guests on a lovely Fall afternoon in the Hills.  Our fabulous duo set up the intimate sound system and prepared the final details for the surprise.

Our dashing guys filtered into the staff, charming the unsuspecting guests and when the reveal time was near, the guys eased seamlessly into an unforgettable scripted show (that was tailored for the guest of honor, of course) that featured many of the staple signature songs of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and the famed Rat Pack of the 1960’s.

Trained Operatic Singers make smaller events more intimate.

“Being able to sing acoustically was key for this particular event”, stated Ryan.  We couldn’t have brought a bulky sound system with microphones…it would have ruined the intimate feeling for those 16 guests”.  Ryan was correct and that’s why all of our performers have operatic training to not have to rely on microphones, if necessary.

The guest of honor’s friends and relatives loved the show and we did too.  Happy 80th Birthday Barbara!  We hope to sing at your 90th!

SURPRISE HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENT FOR A LUNCHEON IN LOS ANGELES

The guys love singing to the ladies.

The Amazing Waiters brought in the Holiday Season with some personally served surprise entertainment for a lovely group of ladies at their Country Club Holiday Luncheon in Rolling Hills, California this past weekend.

Posing as Waiters, the guys infiltrated the on-site staff and proceeded to transform from waiters to entertainers singing a mix of Christmas Classics, Rat Pack and Broadway Favorites intertwined with a specially-written script.  The ladies were completely surprised!

“It was great to get back to one of our favorite clients on the Peninsula here in LA”, stated Singing Waiter, James. “I really don’t think they were seeing a show until our third waiter made his grand entrance.  By then, we were singing our 4th or 5th song…It was a fun time!”.

No Hassle Sound Equipment

The club wanted the Amazing Waiter special sound option which made it very easy for them.  We had the peace of mind of having our own sound system and they were relieved they didn’t have to coordinate a third party for our needs.

See The Amazing Waiters Video to see some ideas on how they perform a customized show for you.

Laguna Beach Party Gets Singing Waiters

Posted on by

Ahhhhh…We just love it when we get to an event and a staff member says that their particular group has difficulty giving attention.  Really…..We love it.  It’s a challenge we have been faced with about every single show we’ve ever done.  Why?  Because The Amazing Waiters, Singing Waiter Show is a surprise!  By that definition, party guests don’t have a clue as to what is going on. Especially when a waiter starts talking from the stage. Why would they pay attention to a waiter?  Well, normally, that would be true.  But our shows are designed to take party guests from 0 to 100 in about 20 Seconds!
This is what happened to a very talkative group of professionals in Laguna Beach this very evening.

The Amazing Waiters in Laguna Beach, California

Admittedly, the group was VERY chatty.  Lots of networking and that’s a very good thing for you event planners out there.  You want your guests to be engaged, stimulated to network and of course, never, ever bored.  The challenge is how to get those very guests wrangled, directed and moved in a timely manner.  It’s kind of like herding cats.  Never done that, but you get the imagery.

Having done this for well over a decade, there is a formula to getting unsuspecting guests attention quickly and efficiently.  It is not for the faint of heart.  You have to get their attention and then hold it.  Blow it early and you’re dead!  Curtain please!

All Amazing Waiter Shows are specially-written.  This was no different.  Our guests had specific characteristics we were able to draw upon in writing a quick and effective script allowing great music to be woven around.  Our three leading men (The Amazing Waiters X3) took control of the room, and made an already elegant evening, one that will be talked about and we’re sure uploaded, with numerous cell phone cameras and even an Amazing Waiter FIRST,   a selfie with one of the attendees.  Although we didn’t get it, if you see this post, you HAVE to send it to us!!  (You know who you are!).

One of our Singing Waiters actually was more of an MC later in the evening, as after our actual show and the “cat was our of the bag”, singing waiter, John went back to the stage to reintroduce the electronic violinists (our new friends) to play a Rock Cover as a closer!

It was an elegant evening with lots of great food, service and entertainment.
