Amazing, wouldn't change a thing!

Wow! Charlie was incredible, we had so many compliments from our guests afterwards about how well he orchestrated everything, how he kept everyone engaged but most importantly, what an exceptional performer he was! Nobody was expecting him to sing, and the fact he took on board all our ideas and suggestions while making them his own, I'm overjoyed with what he produced on our big day. 10/10 would recommend surprise shows, from the initial meetings and organisation with Maurice and Darren right to the day with Charlie, I wouldn't fault a thing and I will forever recommend this service. Thank you to the wonderful surprise shows team for making our day so good! And a special thank you to Charlie himself, one of the most talented, genuine and helpful people we've had the pleasure of meeting.

They made our 'Special Day' a little bit more Special!

Wow, Wow, Wow......At our wedding, 2 days ago, Carl & Jason of Surprise Shows performed as singing waiters. After a wonderful wedding breakfast they took over and provided us and our guests with a surprise performance that everyone will be talking about for years to come. They blended the humour and audience participation perfectly and OMG can they sing!!! They exceeded our expectations and got everyone involved so quickly. We can't praise them highly enough. As for the team 'back at HQ' Darren and Maurice, they run a very professional operation that puts your mind at ease and delivers what's promised - a night to remember. Thanks to you all you made our special day that little bit more special!

Surprise Show made our very special day even better than I could have imagined.

Unforgettable! Our experience with Surprise Shows was nothing short of phenomenal. Our wedding guests were blown away — we’re still getting messages about how much they loved it, how funny it was and how it took the whole day to the next level. The performance was the perfect post-dinner pick-me-up, turning that sleepy lull into a full-blown party atmosphere! The energy in the room completely transformed — everyone was buzzing and ready to celebrate. Surprise Shows are not only incredibly talented, but an absolute joy to work with. From the moment we booked to the final bow, their communication was flawless, professional, and genuinely enthusiastic. If you're on the fence about booking them — don’t be. Just do it. It was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. Truly unforgettable and 100% worth it!

An unforgettable wedding day!

Wow... Where do I start! We had Russell and Steven to surprise all our guests on Saturday at Astley Bank Hotel. Their act was just as a surprise for us as it were the guests. They literally moulded in as waiters, serving food, replacing wobbly chairs etc. They started their show as they placed the last dessert, and they were absolutely hilarious, engaged with all the guests and wowed us all. Everyone has commented how amazing they were and have said its the best wedding they've been to! They were worth every penny and will 100% recommend these guys. Do not hesitate, get them booked!!!
