Booking Singing Telegrams

Originally devised in 1933 and performed over the telephone, the singing telegram was a clever concoction of Western Union. Since telegrams had long been associated with deaths or other bad news, the telegraph company used their singing telegram service to sway the image to something more positive. The first was delivered to singer Rudy Vallee on behalf of one of his fans. Usually comical in nature, singing telegram services are normally offered with your choice of performers in formalwear or a humorous costume such as a belly dancer, superhero or Sherlock Holmes. Given as a gift, or as a complement to a gift, singing telegrams are excellent for birthdays, anniversaries, bachelor or bachelorette parties, bat and bar mitzvahs and more. However, singing telegram services have also been used for marriage proposals and even job interviews! Easy to order, singing telegrams include a custom-written song that relays any message you choose. Just tell the telegram company what you want to say, choose the person to deliver the message and they'll handle everything else in order to make yours a very special occasion.

Tips For Booking A Singing Telegram

Finding and hiring a singing telegram can be challenging, but GigMasters makes it fun and easy! Here are five helpful tips for hiring a singing telegram :

1. View online demos of as many singing telegram performers as you can. Many singing telegram singers on GigMasters have one or more photos, audio, and video samples available on their online press kits.

2. Thoroughly read client feedback. Many GigMasters clients who have hired singing telegrams have left useful feedback about their experiences.

3. Book early. A professional singing telegram performer may need to be booked several weeks in advance.

4. Get a contract and read it carefully. And if happen to be hiring strip-o-grams, you should make sure the contract clearly states the details and the overall appropriateness of the strip-o-gram for your party guests.

5. Follow up with the singing telegram singer you've hired as often as you need to. Be sure the singer knows the exact length of the performance.
