"SO glad we did this. It’s priceless to have our loved ones voices speaking to us on such a happy day saved forever. The process of renting the phone was extremely smooth, the phone was intuitive to use, the guests engaged with it well, the final voicemail edit came back quickly, the team was responsive. It was heartwarming through and through and I cannot recommend this service enough!"
"THE BEST THING AT OUR WEDDING!!!!! This was one of the best things I did for our wedding. I have always loved saving voicemails from family and friends, so this was a worthwhile investment for our wedding day. Everyone thought it was very unique, and loved getting to leave us a message (or two or three) throughout the night. Highly highly highly recommend"
"I thought this was only suitable for a wedding but boy oh boy was I wrong! After The Tone was the highlight of my 40th Birthday celebration. It’s a wonderful idea for Weddings, baby showers, graduations! Honestly any occasion. The colors are vibrant, very user friendly, quick set up, and very convenient shipping process. 10/10. Get one!"
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We used After The Tone for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made. The process was incredibly easy from start to finish, and the setup fit seamlessly into our celebration. The real magic happened after the wedding when we received the recordings. Hearing the voices of our family and friends sharing stories, well wishes, and funny moments brought us right back to the day in a way photos and videos simply can't. Some of the messages were heartfelt, some were hilarious, and all of them are memories we'll cherish forever. If you're looking for a unique guest experience and a keepsake that you'll actually revisit for years to come, we highly recommend After The Tone. It added something truly special to our wedding day. ❤️"
"Easy shipping! Showed up early and simple instructions to prep for the day. We did the custom sign and love it as a keepsake after mailing the phone back. Just did the first listen 1 week after wedding day... Incredible. Our planner moved the phone from the welcome area inside to the bar after dancing started, and the progression is epic, would recommend! I can see how awesome this audio will be to listen to over the years. Well worth the money."
"What a perfect idea! I absolutely recommend getting one of these audio phone books for your event! I used a white phone for my wedding and it was better than I could ever imagine, easy steps on getting it, setting up, returning and receiving. What a great experience. Love love loved it!!! Brings so much more meaning to your guestbook experience hearing everyone talk about how much they love you and hope for the best in life. Definitely get the phone!!!!"
"My daughter absolutely loved this! She will absolutely listen to her messages time and time again when she’s away in college and and she misses home or when life gets tough."
