Count us in for your destination wedding bash (our phones love to travel ✈️)! Here’s the deal: we only ship to the USA, Canada, and Puerto Rico, so please make sure to order the phone with plenty of time before your event so you can travel with it to your destination. Then, bring the phone back with you, ship it back to us, and we’ll handle the rest! Easy as 🥧.
No! We can add on your vinyl order at any time past your event date, 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 24 hours of us receiving the phone back from you to our warehouse. Vinyl records take roughly 1-2 weeks to be completed and shipped after the audio is approved by the client.
We are a rental company so we are a first-come, first-serve basis. We recommend booking 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 insert 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) after your event.
There is no limit to the number of voicemails that can be left on your phone! We will send you every voicemail that is left on our phones for you to cherish forever!

"We are so happy we used After the Tone for our guest book. Hearing the stories, advise, and funny progression from serious to not so serious conversations throughout the night. It was also a great touch to put our own voicemail for guests to hear us when they pick up the phone. It will be something we cherish forever."
"We are so so happy we used After The Tone for our wedding! It meant so much to us to hear the voices of people we loved leaving us both thoughtful and silly messages throughout the entire night. We laughed, cried, and even left a message for ourselves. We can't wait to have these forever for when we may not be able to talk to those that mean the most to us. They were so easy to use when we had a destination wedding, I would 100% recommend doing this for your wedding! Thank you all so much!"
"Absolutely great experience overall! We rented a phone from After The Tone for our baby shower and it was such a hit with family and friends! We love the fact that our little one will be able to hear everyone's voices! The overall process of ordering the phone was easy and set up was even easier! I can't wait to do this again for our little one's future events!"
"So much fun to listen to and have unique memories from our wedding day! We highly recommend After the Tone"
"After we got our voicemails back, it was truly the best part of the wedding. I could not imagine our wedding without afterthetone. It was probably the best piece of media that we get to keep forever after the event that was the most intimate and sweetest part of the event. It made everything special since we had no idea what everyone was saying, and it was the best surprise afterwards to receive all of our voicemails back. The process was extremely easy, the phones looked beautiful, everyone loved the idea and had so much fun, and it really tied everything together. It seriously is on another level as a guestbook"
"After the tone added a special touch to my son’s graduation party."
"Amazingly easy and great quality"
"The process of ordering and getting the phone is simple. It worked well and it was such a joy to get to hear messages from family and friends after the ceremony and relive a little part of that day."
"So fun to have recordings of all our guests from our wedding! 10/10 would get again!"
"Amazing service"
