Everything people usually want to know before commissioning a performance — how it is planned, what it costs, and how we make certain the moment lands exactly as you imagined. If your question is not here, Sean will answer it personally.
Should I ask the venue for permission myself?
+
Absolutely not. It's best to leave this to us. It's surprisingly easy to receive a 'no' simply because you've spoken to the wrong person or someone who isn't authorised to make the decision. In many cases, people make assumptions before fully understanding what's involved. We know who to speak to, how to approach the conversation, and how to present everything clearly and professionally. Leaving it to us gives you the best chance of securing approval without any unnecessary obstacles.
What is a singing telegram?
+
A singing telegram is a message delivered through live song. A professional singer arrives in person — often as a complete surprise — and performs chosen songs for a birthday, wedding, proposal, anniversary or corporate event. A Singergram takes that idea further: it's a bespoke, founder-led performance built around the person receiving it.
Do singing telegrams still exist in the UK?

Yes — very much so. Singergram has been delivering singing telegrams across the UK for 20 years, with professional performers in London and nationwide, and bookings delivered worldwide.
