Here's How It Works: 

1. We ship you your real vintage phone to arrive at least 7 - 15 days before your event date.
2. Place the phone wherever you want at your event—no plug-in needed.
3. Guests pick up and use the phone and leave heartfelt, hilarious voicemails at your event.
4. Send the phone back in the same box with the prepaid return label that is included.
5. Within 24 hours of receiving your phone back, you will have access to all your voicemails online, or you can upgrade to a USB or Vinyl record for a timeless keepsake.

Can’t have everyone at your event? Let them call in!

Our Virtual Guestbook Service gives your guests a designated phone number for your loved ones to call in from their own cell phones/landlines, and leave heartfelt messages. It also includes a shareable web page that has a little blurb of how the virtual service works, pictures of you and your partner, and your special event phone number!

The webpage and dial-in number are 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.

Audio Guestbook Service - $299 USD‍‍

Our Audio Guestbook Service is our flagship service where our clients can rent and display one of our 100% real authentic vintage phones for their event to have their guests record voicemails.

As our phones are not available for purchase. After your event, your phone must be returned to the mail within 72 hours using the return label included in the box. Once it is returned to our facility, you will receive an email from our team with our current voicemail delivery timeline (24 hours to get your voicemails). From this point, our team works their magic! Your voicemails are offloaded, edited, and a digital version of your voicemails will be uploaded to your online portal and emailed to you!

‍Virtual Guestbook Service - $79 USD

No need for the full phone setup? Go virtual and keep it simple, or combine phone and virtual options so everyone can join. Our Virtual Guestbook is our virtual dial-in service where you are provided with a designated phone number and landing page website for your loved ones to call from their own cell phones/landlines and leave voicemails too. 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 from the date that it is delivered, until about 1-2 weeks after your event date. Once the line closes, our editing team will edit your audio into a mastered voicemail file. Your voicemails are then uploaded to your client portal to listen to, share, and download! Or preserve them on a Custom Vinyl for a keepsake you can relive for a lifetime.

If you decide to use both of these services simultaneously for your event, your guests that are present at your event can take advantage of our rotary audio guestbook phone included with our Phone Guestbook service, in person. Meanwhile, those who were unable to attend can leave you a message via your Virtual Guestbook service! And after your event, our editing team will edit all of your voicemails, from both services for you to cherish forever!

Your phone will be shipped to arrive 7 - 15 days before your event date.

No! Our phones are completely wireless and require no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection to work, which means they can be placed or carried anywhere! They also don't need to be plugged into a power source, making them very versatile for placing it wherever you'd like at your event!

They are powered by rechargeable lithium batteries which allows the phone to record for up to 12 hours, and we also provide you with a charging cord if you want to use the phone for multiple days during your rental period!

Not to brag, but all our phones are equipped with pro-grade 48kHz audio tech and noise-cancelling magic to make sure voices come through loud and clear.

That said, placing the phone in a quieter nook helps cut out background noise even more. It doesn’t need to be silent—just not directly next to the DJ speaker!

Not at all! Our phones are built to record as many messages as you could leave on it, there is not limit! We’ll send you every single voicemail to download, save, and turn into a lifetime keepsake.

Leaving a voicemail is special all on its own—don’t overthink it! Just speak from the heart, and it’ll be perfect.
