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”….

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

Surprise Waiters for Six Hundred

Posted on by

Surprise Waiters for Six Hundred

Thank you, Alex!  I’ll take Surprise Waiters for 600…

It this even possible?  Can three performers surprise and entertain six hundred unsuspecting guests effectively?  Why yes.  Of course, we can!  And that’s what our surprise waiters did recently in the awesome city of Indianapolis, Indiana for a great group of independent cable visionaries that were convening on the city for brainstorming and networking sessions.

As we do, when a client decides to have The Amazing Waiters for their event, large or small, we begin gathering information about their party.  Everything from time lines to possible themes and even special VIPs or guests that may be attendance.  Once we have all necessary information, we begin tossing ideas back and forth with the client regarding how and where the special show will happen during the event.  During this phase, we discovered something interesting-something that took us back to our roots…when we entertained guests in Europe many moons ago…

SOUP COURSE PRESENTATION

Our clients are awesome.  We love it when they have crazy or unorthodox ideas about their event.  We love it when they like to integrate our surprise shows within these fun ideas.  And voila!  This was one of those moments.  Our client wanted to introduce the first course (the soup course) with a parade of waiters marching out, single file and serving the guests.  Our client wanted to know if we, as waiters could perform our surprise show during this time.  And of course, this course was PERFECT because, as mentioned earlier, we used to do this very thing as the original singing waiters act in Europe and it was high time we dusted off one of our signature songs that would be singularly appropriate for this presentation.  Be Our Guest from “Beauty and the Beast”.  We would sing the song while the parade of service staff entered the room with the soup.  PERFECT!

Surprise Waiters can get your attention

It’s hard to get 600 people to stop talking…especially when it’s a lowly waiter at a microphone on a large stage…

But that’s why our client hired us-we specialize in how to get people’s attention.  James, our general manager (and former singer with The Los Angeles Opera), who himself has performed over a thousand singing waiters shows, took 600 boisterous entrepreneurs on a musical journey, while the hotel wait staff seamlessly served the enthusiastic guests.  The presentation ending with a thunderous standing ovation (OK, the end of the song DID include two guys doing the song’s signature kick line).

Just when you think you’ve seen it all…

Our third waiter, a fabulous Soprano, surprises both men with the Broadway hit, “Don’t Rain On My Parade” from the musical Funny Girl, made famous by Barbara Streisand.  Things got crazy from there.  But, we won’t divulge that information as what happens in Indianapolis STAYS in Indianapolis!  Needless to say, our three amazing surprise waiters tirelessly worked the room and hopefully left no one feeling lonely (even in a room of 600 people)!

Here’s a snippet of the sound check.

Thanks for a fabulous time!

Wedding Reception Surprise

WEDDING RECEPTION SURPRISE

Wedding reception surprises is the latest trend in Wedding Entertainment.  It’s interesting, unexpected, unique and very cool.

The Season of Love is upon us once again

We are now back in “Wedding Season” and what better time to post another fun wedding reception surprise we implemented at the request of the Groom to his Bride on their wedding day.  Now, that’s what we call something special!

This video highlights the singing element of The Amazing Waiters’ Wedding Show and how it can get a little crazy at times.  Watch the video and see how one particular guest reacts when one of our waiters sings to her!

[embedplusvideo height=”315″ width=”560″ editlink=”http://bit.ly/1CmFu0Z” standard=”http://www.youtube.com/v/Q33qJkMu-hw?fs=1&vq=hd720″ vars=”ytid=Q33qJkMu-hw&width=560&height=315&start=&stop=&rs=w&hd=1&autoplay=0&react=0&chapters=&notes=” id=”ep2199″ /]

Give The Guests A Wedding Gift

Weddings Receptions are mostly about everyone else.  It’s your celebration but the Wedding Reception is the gift you give to your guests.  Being a part of this elegant wedding in Orange County was a great surprise and gift, not only to the Bride but to all of the guests that attended.  Comments ranged from “Amazing” to “You completely surprised me!”

From Waiter to Entertainer during the Dinner Course

Our carefully-scripted wedding reception shows are designed to give the best impact by starting as waiters (servers) and then seamlessly morphing into entertainers without the guests even realizing they are watching an actual show.  The Dinner Course is the best time for this hoax.  Your guests are expecting entertainment after dinner with a DJ, Band, etc.  Dinner time is traditionally the most “quiet” time of the wedding reception.  We like to change that up a bit.  Being nontraditional in a traditional setting is what makes our shows so fun and entertaining.

Amazing Singing Waiter Holiday Show in Rolling Hills, California

SURPRISE HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENT FOR A LUNCHEON IN LOS ANGELES

Singing to an unsuspecting luncheon guest 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.
