What is a Singing Telegram?
A very important message delivered in person while singing, dancing or doing something mind-blowing and hilarious!
(This was our first ever service, when we started The Great Surprisal back in 2014. We still do this because it’s our favorite thing to do — sing and surprise people! Learn more below.)

“Amelia was a complete and total centerpiece for my 50th birthday party--a murder mystery! Her skills absolutely shone in her depiction of the Mad Hatter. She was innovative, creative, devastatingly handsome and also hilarious. Her creativity is unparalleled and my family is still reeling from it a year later. She will make your event the event of your dreams.”
-Karen K.
“Amelia is a total Pro all the way! Booked her for my mother's birthday in Sequim, WA. She arrived and put a smile on my mom's face immediately. Sang personalized songs and was the highlight of my mother's day! Booking Amelia is a slam dunk and I will absolutely be using her again. Can't go wrong, a true professional performer!”
-Kurt C, Son of the Best Mum
