Ireland’s Original, Multi‑Award‑Winning Surprise Wedding Entertainer
Marco the Singing Chef isn’t just a performer — he’s a phenomenon. The first choice for discerning brides and grooms, Marco’s iconic Singing Chef show has become one of Ireland’s most beloved, family‑friendly wedding entertainment experiences. For over 15 years, he has been the go‑to entertainer for couples who want something unforgettable, unexpected, and utterly joyful.
Marco has performed over 5,000 shows across every continent — from sun‑drenched beach weddings in Dubai to snow‑covered celebrations in the Rocky Mountains. He’s lit up glamorous events on Sydney Harbour, serenaded guests along the French and Italian Rivieras, and even pulled off a legendary weekend where he performed in:
• Dingle, Co. Kerry on Friday
• The Olympic Club, San Francisco on Saturday
• London’s Guildhall the following Tuesday
This is not your average entertainer.
This is world‑class talent disguised as your chef.
Our Singing Chef doesn’t just entertain — he detonates the room’s energy in the best possible way. One moment your guests are enjoying dinner, and the next they’re swept into a whirlwind of music, laughter, and pure surprise as he bursts into song with world‑class vocals and irresistible charm. It’s that perfect blend of theatrical mischief and genuine talent that flips a good party into an unforgettable one, pulling everyone together in a shared moment they’ll talk about for years.
Marco is famously proud of one thing:
He has never cancelled a show. Ever.
Blizzards, floods, hurricanes — he’s powered through them all. He once walked five miles in the rain when his car broke down. In 2016, he made it to a party during a snowstorm that even the guests couldn’t reach.
When you book Marco the Singing Chef, you’re not just booking entertainment.
You’re booking certainty.
Since his debut on New Year’s Eve 2001, Marco’s Singing Chef show has become one of the most sought‑after wedding entertainment acts in Ireland. Even he’s been surprised by the demand — but when you love what you do, it shows.
Marco never repeats the same show twice. He’s constantly refining, reinventing, and elevating his routines to keep every performance fresh, exciting, and unforgettable.
Marco is the original creator of many of Ireland’s most iconic surprise wedding characters:
• The Singing Pizza Delivery Guy
• The Singing Chimney Sweep
• Multiple versions of his Singing Waiter and Singing Wine Expert routines
If you’ve seen similar acts elsewhere, you’ve likely seen Marco’s influence.
He didn’t follow the trend — he started it.
Marco’s first undercover chef performance took place in Germany’s Maritim Hotel on New Year’s Eve 2001. After returning home to Limerick in 2006 — fresh from performing at the World Cup celebrations in Schalke — he founded Singers for Hire.
Since then, Marco and his team have entertained clients across:
• Ireland & the UK
• Australia
• New York & San Francisco
• Dubai
• Canada
• India
• China
