"We loved the product initially, but two years after our wedding, we couldn't locate the file. After The Tone's customer service was fantastic in helping us get another copy of the recording, getting it back to us less than 24 hours after we reached out! Great product and great customer service - we can't recommend them enough!"
"Wow, our guests LOVED leaving after the tone messages. We ended up with over 12 minutes of sweet messages from over 75 guests. This was one of the best things we added to our wedding. The packaging and timeliness of the phone made for a seamless experience. Would not hesitate to work with After the Tone again!"
" I would like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts.💕💕💕 The customer service was amazing. As the wedding came close, I got a UPS notification that the phone would arrive three days after our wedding. I texted and within 45 minutes I got another notification that a new phone would be overnighted to me. So now to the day of the event, the messages are wonderful, and as the day goes on the messages, get a little sloppier and a little more funny. If you want really funny messages, put your phone by the bartender!"
"After the tone is a must have on your special day! The process from start to finish was seamless. They perfectly captured the voices of all of our special people."
"This was the easiest and best guest book we could’ve asked for! All instructions come with the phone and it’s so simple to use. My 10 year old nephew leaving messages, all our guests leaving us well wishes as we start our new lives together, I just couldn’t have asked for anything better! I 100% recommend using After the Tone to anyone who is getting married!"
"Best decision to use After the Tone at our wedding reception! It's like this phone bottled up our perfect day in one big voicemail -- hearing our people's voices from the day was so special! 10/10 recommend!"
"Setting up the phone and the After The Tone customer support was very easy and friendly. Our attendees really loved the phone idea and were enthusiastic about leaving messages. The sound quality of the messages was great! However, I am giving After The Tone only four stars instead of five because, towards the end of our wedding, the messages seemed to be getting cut off way early, perhaps to save battery power. It was very discouraging to hear a dear friend or family member's heartfelt message end abruptly before they could complete their thoughts. It would have been helpful to have a more accurate, visible indicator of battery life on the phone other than the color (green, orange, red) of a small, hard to see light. Also, more charging options other than a USB to USB cable would make it easier to ensure the battery is adequately charged throughout the event. And perhaps including a backup battery that can be easily swapped out would help. It must be said that our wedding was in a rustic setting without many electrical outlets or laptops available, so a longer lasting battery would have been helpful as well to ensure we received everyone's complete messages."
"So fun reliving our wedding day through the voices of our guests!"
"One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was to have our After the Tone audio guestbook. What a wonderful way to remember the night and all the loved ones who came to celebrate with us!"
"So much fun! Big hat at our wedding"
