Premium Singing Telegrams in York
A live, personalised surprise performed against York's medieval streets, its riverside and the market towns of the Vale of York.
Singergram in York
What a surprise looks like here.
York's walled centre, with the Shambles, the Minster and the narrow snickelways, already feels like a stage set, so an unexpected performance here may well draw an audience of passers-by as well as the intended guests. Bookings inside the walls are planned with that in mind — a quieter, more contained approach where the venue calls for it.
The city draws a steady stream of weekend visitors marking anniversaries and proposals, staying in hotels along the river or near the Minster, and that visiting, celebratory mood suits a Singergram performance well.
Beyond the walls, York sits within easy reach of the Vale of York's market towns and villages, and family celebrations in these smaller communities are just as well suited to a booking as anything in the city centre, with the same attention paid to getting the timing right.
Where it happens
Rooms across York
Riverside hotels and restaurants
The stretch along the Ouse has a concentration of hotels and restaurants suited to anniversaries and proposals. If the surprise is planned for one of these venues, we liaise with them beforehand so the performer's arrival is timed to the moment.
Historic pubs and tearooms within the walls
York's older pubs and tearooms near the Shambles suit an intimate, close-up performance rather than one built for a stage, given how compact many of these rooms are.
Market towns and village halls
The Vale of York's smaller towns suit birthday and retirement gatherings in halls and pubs, each planned around rural travel as carefully as any city booking.

Occasions
Reasons people arrange one
Anniversaries and proposals suit York particularly well, reflecting the number of couples visiting for a weekend away.
The difference
Not someone turning up, singing once, and leaving.
A Singergram is arranged, not booked off a shelf. Everything below is decided before the performer sets off for York.
- 01Professional live vocals, from performers who sing for a living
- 02A personalised message written from what you tell us
- 03Songs chosen for the person, not pulled from a fixed list
- 04Real interaction with the recipient, not a recital at them
- 05Surprise logistics coordinated with you, and with the venue
- 06The performance shaped around the occasion and the room

Lovely man, very flexible on times as I had to move it suddenly. A great entertainer and my wife thoroughly enjoyed the surprise on her birthday. Would definitely book Sean again.
Amazing customer service delivering an extraordinary experience by a very talented singer. Highly recommended!
I organised everything from Romania as a surprise for my husband in London, and the entire experience was seamless. Simon was our singer, and he was absolutely fantastic. My husband's reaction was priceless.
Questions
Singing telegrams in York
How much does a singing telegram in York cost?
+
It depends on the venue, the length of performance and how much personalisation is involved, so we avoid quoting a generic figure. Tell us about the occasion and you will be given a single, clear price before booking.
Is access difficult inside York's city walls?
+
Some streets within the walls have restricted vehicle access, so once we know the exact venue we plan the performer's route and arrival time around it to keep everything on schedule.
Can you perform in a hotel or restaurant by the river?
+
Yes, this suits York well. If the surprise is planned for one of these venues, we contact it in advance to confirm timing and where the performer should wait so the surprise is not given away.
Do you cover villages in the Vale of York?
+
Yes. Haxby, Strensall, Malton, Selby and the surrounding market towns are all covered alongside the city centre.
Can you arrange a proposal near the Minster or riverside?
+
Yes, these are well suited to a proposal in York, and we work with you beforehand on timing and positioning so the moment lands as planned.
