Fantastic!

I booked a singing telegram as a last minute surprise for my sister's birthday. Adrijana could not have been nicer or more professional to work with. She was quick to respond to my request with a phone call to book the performance, ensured I provided all the information she needed over text, and was courteous throughout the entire time.

Best of all, my sister loved her performance, and the booking included balloons, a cupcake and tiara. This is on top of Adrijana singing a selected song and dressing up in a costume I picked out.

If you need this type of service for any special event, I highly recommend The Telegram Girl!

Pennywise Opera. What a show!!

Both Joseph and Adrijana were remarkable to work with and walked me through the process of booking Joseph for my best friend’s telegram. She loved it. We got a good laugh at her reaction too. Great folks to work with, pricing is perfect and well worth every Penny(wise). Lol. I highly recommend this group for your event or home visit. They’re vaccinated too and that was important for my friend and her family. So glad I booked them!!! Thanks so much guys you knocked ot out of the park!!!

Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!!

The Telegram Girl is a true professional!
She has the most AMAZING voice!
We had her come as Marilyn Monroe for my dad’s 95th Birthday she sang happy birthday and did an Andrews Sisters rendition of boogie woogie bugle boy plus a holiday Christmas song. The Telegram Girl is absolutely THE BEST!!!! My dad is still talking about how much fun he had & how amazing her voice is and what a wonderful time he had!
Wonderful experience and memory for dad!

Amazing Performance!

This was the most creative performance I’ve ever experienced!! The Telegram Girls wrote a custom song for my friend and brought her a gift!

The Best Sound of Music is Her

She sings with the sound of a birds rhythm. Every note, word, and sound she makes feels like a never ending moment. Her smile, kindness, and presents makes you feel like your watching a movie or on stage. She is whom you would want to deliver a song for you. Trust me she's that singer with beauty. My husband and I love her singing. Oh yeah, the most important part she dress the way the occasion is if you like. Thank you from us to you.

Additional booking notes

FAQ's: Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance or last minute can I order a singing telegram: We can book up to a year in advance and have delivered singing telegrams within one hour of a call!

Where do you live and how far do you drive: Several of us live around the Burlington area of New Jersey, two in Center City, one in West Philly and another in Passyunk (Philadelphia). We drive quite far (entire state of New Jersey, Philadelphia + suburbs including Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, Delaware counties, NYC/Manhattan, Wilmington DE) and are all lucky to have safe vehicles!

Do you ever do singing telegrams virtually through FaceTime or Zoom: Yes! All the time...very fun.

Do you take song requests: Definitely, just try to give us a little more than a day to learn.

Can I ask for additional singers: Of course! We can do a solo performance, duet, trio or quartet in four part harmony!

Do I get the singer I requested: Always; if there was to be a change it would only be because of an emergency pending your approval. So far, this has never happened.

Does Bennie the Dancing Gorilla sing: Bennie is a GORILLA, so the fact that he can dance is pretty amazing, we have not figured out a way to teach him to speak or sing.

Can I write lyrics to a melody that already exists: Yes, this works well.

Can I write lyrics while you create a melody: Yes.

Can I ask for a costume you do not have: Yes, there is an added charge and we just need a few days to order.

Can you deliver extra gifts: Definitely! We can pick things up for you, or your gift can be sent by mail to your artist or we can meet you before the gig in order to make the special delivery.

How long does a singing telegram last: Just long enough for the gift recipient to say "whoa...what just happened to me!" We come in and make the big surprise in costume, break into the dedication song, thoroughly bestow the gift recipient with loving fun and often hilarious attention, then read a message you created stating who the gift is from and what sentiment is behind it (everything from happy anniversary to your daughter is having a boy to guess what, we are getting a dog!) then we end with either another quick song or "Happy Birthday"

When did singing telegrams begin: When the Postal Telegraph-Cable Company delivered what it claimed was the world's first singing telegram on Feb. 10, 1933, it may have been 50 years or so ahead of its time. The idea was good, but not good enough to save its telegraph business, and the company soon merged with Western Union.

Do you do anything special for the holidays: We have the most fantastic Elf, Ugly Sweater and Mrs. Santa costumes and also have a sister-company that consists of Elves, Santa Claus and amazing Dickens Victorian Christmas Carolers that sing in lush a cappella harmonies!

Can I hire you to sing for someone who isn't really on speaking terms with me: Sadly, if you are estranged from a person, they do not wish to hear from you, or you have been legally ordered to steer clear of them, we cannot intervene through song. Yes this question comes up (frequently) which is why it is listed here.

Can I hire you to break up with someone or serve them with a lawsuit: The Telegram Girl only delivers happy loving thoughtful news. We are a joyful company that specializes in warming hearts and spreading kindness!
