No! We can invoice you separately for that whenever you are ready.
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 beige phone guest book is the unique event addition you didn’t know you needed. The versatility of the beige allows you to capture messages in harsh fluorescent lights, natural daylight, or warmer sepia tones while maintaining a beautiful, natural aesthetic. Your guest list will be raving about your color scheme for years to come.
With its soft, deep tan hue, the beige voicemail guestbook will give your desert wedding a vibey, interactive element, or your baby shower a meaningful, gender-neutral addition. For country-themed birthdays or even a celebration of life, the beige rotary phone is a reliable, sleek choice that will have your guests rushing to the guestbook table.
No! The beauty of the beige phone is that it matches a lot of styles and aesthetics. From a whimsical garden event to a backyard, farm wedding — to a kid’s birthday to a corporate event — “The Rod” is as versatile as they come.
Luckily, we have plenty of beige phone guestbooks available for booking. However, we always recommend reserving your phone at least 3 months in advance of your big day. But, we will always do our best to accommodate your phone guestbook needs at any point leading up to your event.
The Toast in red is such a fun way to add a pop of color without it taking over the event. But if you’re ready to go bold, we absolutely love pairing it with The Keepsake in yellow for a bright, cheerful combo that really stands out!
Bold and brimming with energy, The Rod is our striking beige audio guestbook inspired by Rod Stewart. Just like his iconic voice, this vintage phone stands out in any crowd. Perfect for weddings, birthdays, and high-energy events, The Rod captures messages with style and flair.
At After The Tone, we’re dedicated to making your event unforgettable. The Rod combines top-tier audio quality with effortless setup, ensuring your voicemail guestbook is a hit. Whether it’s a lavish wedding or a lively party, The Rod will have your guests talking—and leaving messages that you’ll treasure forever.
Like Rod Stewart’s unforgettable tunes, The Rod preserves the voices of your loved ones in high-fidelity. Its beige tone blends seamlessly with any decor, while our eco-friendly rental model ensures you celebrate sustainably. Make sure your guests’ messages live on long after the party ends with The Rod.
When Jacob and Bailey founded After The Tone, they wanted a way to capture the spirit of their wedding. The Rod embodies that passion, delivering a premium audio guestbook experience that turns your event into a cherished memory. Let The Rod add energy, style, and unforgettable voices to your special day.
