And we created this for our own wedding. It's so nice to meet you! We're Jacob and Bailey, the founders of After The Tone. We made After The Tone for our wedding in 2019 because we wanted to keep the voices, laughter, and little moments that meant the most. What began as something personal became a new way to remember celebrations, and we’d be honored to have the opportunity to be part of yours.

In our family, love has always lived in the details, and the details have always been worth keeping. That’s why voices are an heirloom to us.

My grandparents, Juan and Fernanda, got married over the phone in the 1960s, with Juan in California and Fernanda in Buenos Aires. Juan had immigrated first and was building a future from the ground up, and they spent their first year of marriage saving for the one-way plane ticket that would finally bring them together.

Until then, they stayed close the long way. Letters and folded poems reread until the paper softened at the creases. Telegrams for the moments that couldn’t wait. Phone calls you didn’t take for granted. Audio reels recorded and mailed across an ocean, hoping the tape would make it home. He gave her a record console as a wedding gift, and it became part of how their voices and music stayed near.

Fernanda saved everything, and she still does. Photos, handwritten letters, keepsakes, and answering machines filled with family messages. Because she kept them, our family can listen decades later, and it feels like a gift every time we press play.

That’s the feeling behind After the Tone. You rent the vintage rotary phone audio guestbook as the vessel, then you keep what matters: your guests’ messages, delivered digitally and optionally cut onto a custom vinyl record.
