No! You will receive every voicemail that is left at your event. The only time we will ever remove a voicemail is if there is hate speech being used.
You will receive your voicemails within 72 hours of us receiving the phone back in the mail! Vinyl records take roughly 2 weeks to be completed and shipped once audio is approved by the client.
We officially confirm your phone color upon shipping which happens 8 - 10 days prior to your event! We always strive to give all our clients their top color choice!
We have bookings as late as December 2023 currently - so we always recommend sooner rather than later to ensure availability!
Super simple! To return the phone, all you have to do is pack it up in the box it originally shipped in. Please include the foam to keep the phone protected during travel. We include a prepaid shipping label for you to add to the outside of the box (pro tip: if you can’t find the label, check under the foam!). Once it’s packed, just drop the package off at your local UPS. We kindly ask that you please return the phone within 72 hours (3 days) of your event.
No! We will send you every voicemail that is left on our phones for you to cherish forever!
No! Our phones are completely wireless and require no outside connection to work, which means they can be placed anywhere! They are powered by a AAA battery which allows the phone to record for 8-10 hours, and we also provide you with a spare.
Our Virtual Dial-in package is a designated phone number for your loved ones to call from their own cell phones/landlines and leave voicemails to. It also includes a web page that has a little blurb of how it works, pictures of you and your partner, and the voicemail phone number! It is active for around 1-2 weeks and once the line closes, our editing team will edit that audio to the end of your event phone audio, providing you with an updated audio file! HERE is an example of the web page.
Here's How It Works:
The bright orange audio guestbook by After The Tone is loud and proud, yet still has a vintage feel. To really highlight the phone’s unique and colorful hue, we recommend placing this phone guest book outdoors in natural light. However, The Bowie truly looks gorgeous in any lighting, and will have guests running to leave meaningful voicemail messages at weddings and other special events.
If you’re planning to have an audio guestbook at a milestone event with a bright, colorful aesthetic, the orange rotary phone is a classic, yet unique, addition. “The Bowie” voicemail guest book is one of our most iconic, as it brings a warm vintage flair to a summer wedding, 70s-themed birthday party, gender-neutral baby shower, outdoor graduation party, and more. It screams retro!
No! While we love the look of the orange phone against other bright, happy colors, this iconic hue is our signature color for a reason. It goes with more than you think!
The orange rotary phone guestbook is very popular in the summertime! We highly recommend reserving the orange audio guest book at least 3 months in advance of your big day. But, we can absolutely accommodate your event date up to 2 weeks before.
The VIP is the perfect choice if you’re after something a bit more neutral, but if you’re going bold and want a monochromatic moment, The Spotlight in orange is spot on—perfectly color-matched to the orange phone for a seamless look.
Add a bold touch of personality to your event with The Bowie, our bright orange audio guestbook inspired by David Bowie.
