SURPRISE ENTERTAINMENT THAT REALLY WORKS

There’s something magical about the unexpected especially when it comes to live events. Just when guests think they’ve seen it all, surprise entertainment swoops in to steal the show. Whether it’s a flash mob erupting on the dance floor, singing waiters blending in with the staff before bursting into song, or a hidden performer emerging from the crowd, these unexpected moments ignite excitement and leave guests buzzing long after the party’s over.

"It’s not just entertainment, it's a memory etched in time. A true experiential moment!"

Our Singing Waiters acts have successfully left guests with memories they’ll never forget for over a decade in South Africa and they still pack a punch with clients and guests being blown away by these high impact shows every time, whether a corporate event, wedding or private party! From our Proudly SA themed song and dance version, African Anonymous to the velvety swing sounds in Counterfeit Crooners and our most popular Arias Anonymous, with its Singing Chef and and Maitre’d belting out Opera classics from Thats Amore, O Solo Mio and Nessun Dorma!

But a surprise doesn't have to be built up or hidden quite as much as the Singing Waiters Acts, it could be simply keeping your MC a surprise from guests. Guests love the appeal of a high profile star MCing their event. Imagine the audience delight as Mpho Popps or Anele Mdoda in a beautiful sequined dress walking onto stage for their own event!

This is also certainly true for Speakers as well.  If Tajana Smith entered stage holding all her Olympic Medals or Siya Kolisi holding the William Webb Ellis Cup to speak at your event the crowd will go wild!

After being in South Africa since 2011 Elegant Experience has crafted some awesome custom created shows for our clients that have built in the surprise elements that get the audience every time. Guests love seeing their favourite MC, singer or comedian pop into a show - it creates a wonderful sense of belonging and inclusion with there are tailored performances.

Whether it’s for a product launch, special event, gala dinner or conference chat to us, as the leaders in surprise entertainment in South Africa we would love to make your next event an unforgettable experience.
