What kind of singers can we book?

Event singers cover almost every style: pop and soul for a party, acoustic sets for a relaxed reception, classical and opera for a formal dinner, French chanson for a Parisian night and carols or festive standards at Christmas.

Most singers perform with backing tracks or alongside a pianist or guitarist, and many can switch style through the night, gentle during dinner and upbeat once the dancing starts. Singing waiters and surprise opera performers are popular twists.

Where it works best

Drinks receptions
Easy-listening sets as guests mingle.
Surprise performances
Singing waiters and hidden opera singers.
Dinners
Background vocals through the meal.
Weddings
Ceremony songs through to the evening.
Christmas parties
Festive standards and carols.
Parisian nights
French chanson and cabaret classics.

Tips from our team

1
Match the style to the moment
Gentle for dinner, upbeat for the party. Many singers can do both in one booking.
2
Agree volume and position
A singer near the bar is different from one on stage. We plan placement with you.
3
Send your requests early
Special songs need time to prepare, so share them well before the day.
