"Amazing experience working with After The Tone! They had excellent customer service, very clear directions, and quick follow-up! Grateful for their business and it added so much value to our event! AND IT WAS SO FUN! You guys rock!"
"We're so glad we chose After the Tone for our destination wedding in Mexico! Our guests loved leaving messages for us during our cocktail hour and reception, and we love listening to the messages. The phone was beautiful and easy to setup. We traveled with it in our carry-on bag. What an amazing product and service!"
"This was the most fun thing we could have done! Absolute A+ customer service, instructions and overall fun!"
"The best guestbook option out there! We were blown away by the results and highly recommend for weddings! Great audio quality- we love how it still captures ambience in the background. We will definitely be using After the Tone again, maybe for a birthday coming up. Wonderful! 10/10!"
"What an amazing concept to have the memories of your voices to share and have for your loved one!! What a special way to celebrate a milestone. The company was most amazing and helpful, the phone was easy to set up and aesthetically pleasing.This is a must have for any occasion!!!"
"After The Tone was a huge hit at our wedding, and the resulting wedding day audiobook is priceless! It's an absolute must-have if you want to capture the excitement, happiness, and emotion of your loved ones' voices on the day of the event. The audio truly feels like a snapshot of the wedding itself. The service was fantastic and super easy to use for our guests. A quick tip: make sure to have a sign to let people know what it is! I also have to praise their customer service. I completely messed up the return process (it's meant to be dropped off at UPS, not USPS!), but when I reached out, they were incredibly friendly and understanding. They handled my mistake with grace, saying it happens quite a bit. If you have loved ones whose voices you wish to hear long into the future, you need this service. Highly, highly recommend!"
"This was such a fun idea I stumbled upon, and I'm so glad we ended up having a phone at our event. At first I was hesitant due to the price, but after listening to the voicemail, I realize it's priceless. Sound quality was excellent, and the phone was easy to operate. The reminders to return the phone could use some tweaking for multi-day events like ours, however, that's a minor fix. Thank you, we love our messages!"
"We just listened through and are BEAMING. What an incredible gift and memory from the best day of our lives. We will hold onto this forever!! Logistics wise, everything was on time, user friendly, and high quality!!!"
"This was such an amazing addition to our wedding day!!!! Could not recommend more!"
"The voice messages we received from After the Tone after our wedding was maybe one of my favorite memorabilia. Being able to hear our friends and family wish us well and share their love for us while also hearing all of the party sounds in the background was so special. There is an option to order a vinyl record with all of the messages on it, and whenever I feel down I put it on in the background. It makes my day every time. These phones also come in different colors, so they can easily fit in with whatever color scheme you have! Could not recommend this service enough, worth it."
