FAQ about hiring a Singing Telegram

A singing telegram is a fun way to send a message through song! A singer will show up at a specific time and location to sing a special song to a friend, co-worker, or loved one. This is followed immediately by a healthy dose of embarrassment and applause!

Performers can show up as a costumed character, like a princess, superhero, or funny animal — think pink gorilla or funky chicken. Another popular option is hiring an impersonator, like Marilyn Monroe or Elvis, to perform a singing gram. Who wouldn't love a quick serenade from the King of Rock 'n Roll? Or, if you want something less silly, consider a romantic interlude from a crooner in a tuxedo.

On average, a singing telegram costs $100-$200. As with all party rentals or services, prices can vary depending on the package you choose, your location, and any special requests you may have. A quick singing birthday gram will likely cost less than a full-song serenade.

Singing telegrams are great for events like Valentine's Day, birthdays, anniversaries, and proposals. They’re also a fun way to deliver congratulations, farewell, or even an apology message!

Your song options will depend on the party entertainer you book. Most singing gram performers will have a list of songs they typically sing. However, if you have a request for a song that means something special to the guest of honor, your entertainer should be able to learn it if given enough notice.

Singing telegrams generally last between 3-15 minutes depending on the number of songs or any other services that are provided.

Professional singers and party entertainers are the experts when it comes to performing. If you’re unsure about the message you want to send, ask if they can help give you direction. They will likely have a whole list of songs for you to choose from and can draw from past telegram gigs for inspiration to share with you.

FAQ about becoming a Singing Telegram

Singers who offer telegram services generally make between $100-$200 for a gig. Doing telegrams, performing private events, and other non-traditional gigs are a great way to earn money as you grow your music career and book other shows.

When pricing your services, consider costume requirements, song choices, and travel time. Many performers charge smaller fees for local gigs within their immediate travel radius. They also might charge less for a simple Happy Birthday gram than a full performance of Don’t Stop Believin’ — especially if the song requires an instrument or background tracks.

You don’t need to have a specific amount of experience to deliver singing telegrams. However, having a background in performing and music will certainly help prove your worth. The most important skill you need is just being comfortable singing in front of others and even acting a bit silly if you want to offer funny birthday singing telegrams. Remember, the more entertaining you are, the more gigs you’ll book!

What you choose to wear is up to you! Some artists offer additional packages that provide a performance with various costumes or formal attire. Others offer small gifts like flowers or balloons. Keep in mind that the more work and thought you put into your outfits and services, the more you can charge for your singing telegram services.
