Is There a UK Version of Cameo? (Honest Answer, 2026)
No. There is no official "Cameo UK" — no separate British site, no UK app, no UK-registered arm. Cameo is a single American platform. You can use it from Britain, but you are buying from a US marketplace: prices are set in dollars, most of the talent is American, and nothing about the experience is localised for you.
So when people search for "the UK version of Cameo", they are usually asking one of two different questions. It is worth separating them, because the answers are completely different.
Question 1: "Can I buy from a British company instead?"
Yes. There are UK-registered businesses selling personalised video messages, and the practical differences matter more than you'd think:
- Pricing in pounds. No currency conversion, no surprise foreign-transaction fee from your bank.
- UK consumer law applies. You get the protections you'd expect from any British retailer, rather than trying to resolve a dispute across an ocean.
- Support in your timezone. A reply the same working day rather than overnight.
We're one of them — Wishes Made Easy is UK-registered and trading as Emporify Global Ltd. That page exists precisely because "is this real?" is a reasonable thing to ask before you hand over card details.
Question 2: "Can I get a celebrity to say happy birthday?"
This is where expectations usually break. On Cameo you are paying for recognisability — the gift works because the recipient knows who the person is. That has two consequences:
- Price scales with fame. A minor reality-TV name might be affordable. Anyone your recipient has genuinely heard of typically isn't.
- British celebrities are thin on the ground. Cameo's roster skews heavily American. A video from someone your nan has never heard of lands with a thud.
If what you actually want is "a memorable video with their name in it", fame is an expensive way to buy that.
The third option most people don't know exists
There's a category between "generic e-card" and "£400 for a footballer": a video filmed to order by a real crew, where the performance itself is the gift rather than the person's fame.
That's what we do. You choose a crew, send a name, a message and optionally a photo, and they film it fresh — your words, performed, not a template with a name dropped in. The recipient doesn't need to recognise anyone for it to work. It works because five strangers went to visible effort for them specifically.
Our crews:
- The Red Rebels — the viral African dance crew, our most-booked.
- The White Tigers — the other African crew, a different energy entirely.
- The Mumbai Hype Crew — Indian dancers, and they'll perform in Hindi if you write in Hindi.
- The Pakistan Village Crew — filmed on a working farm, goats and all. See the village crew page.
- The Russia Collection — completely deadpan, which is the joke.
Prices start at £29.99. There's a full comparison of the UK options if you want the side-by-side.
"Is it AI?"
Fair question in 2026, and an important one — a lot of what's sold as "personalised video" now is a template with a name spliced in. Ours aren't. We've written up how to tell the difference, including what to look for before you buy from anyone.
So which should you pick?
- Your recipient is a genuine superfan of a specific person → Cameo, and budget properly for it.
- You want something funny, personal and shareable → a filmed-to-order crew video costs a fraction and gets screen-recorded into the group chat.
- It's for work → neither, really. See corporate video greetings, which includes a commercial licence.
Common questions
Does Cameo have a UK website?
No. Cameo operates one global platform from the United States. There is no cameo.co.uk.
Are there British celebrities on Cameo?
Some, but the roster is overwhelmingly American. If you need a specific British name, check availability before you build a gift plan around it.
What's the cheapest way to send a personalised video message in the UK?
A filmed-to-order crew video, starting at £29.99. Celebrity shoutouts are priced on fame and vary enormously.
