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 absolutely LOVE After the Tone! I surprised my daughter with a pink phone for her high school graduation party, and our guests loved it. They had the option to read from a book of poems or leave their own personal messages. We’re so grateful to have this magical recording of her special day, packed with beautiful wishes. Having it all pressed onto a lifetime vinyl record is truly priceless!"
"Seriously top notch! The service is such a unique and fun idea, all our guests loved it at my sons graduation/goodbye party for the Navy. From the first moment of interest I had, all the way up until receiving the finished product printed on a vinyl, it was just a great experience. I never was left guessing on what would happen next, and any questions I had were answered quickly. Couldn't recommend this audio guestbook anymore as a great option for your next event, but also the business itself is doing all the things right! Great work After The Tone, thank you for the amazing memories!!"
"Highly recommend the After The Tone phone!! It is such a fun way for guests to leave audio messages for you on your wedding day. The phone was in perfect condition, easy to use, and just an all-around easy experience and so cool! Loved it!"
"After the tone was the best idea for our gathering. It will have you laughing, crying, and smiling. We also loved the idea of preserving the voices of those we care so much about. You will not be disappointed."
"We had this at our wedding on 4/26/26 and it was sooo emotional to be able to hear everyone's mesaages to us after the event. My husband and I left voicemails for eachother once we got back home so that way the recordings end with us talking about our wedding day and our promises to eachother. 1000% recommend!"
"What a great idea this was! Everyone loved being able to leave voicemails and pose with the phone! LOL! I want this at all my parties!!"
"After the tone, it was super easy to use! I had read some previous reviews mentioning that messages weren’t captured, but after using it myself, I can see that may happen if the instructions aren’t followed. Our guests who used it absolutely loved it! I would definitely recommend placing the phone right in the middle of the action so people are encouraged to use it. I loved listening to all of my voicemails—such a fun and unique keepsake from the day! I only wish we had even more messages captured which is my own fault for not having the DJ announce it during the wedding. Overall, I recommend!"
"This was such a fun way to capture the evening! Listening back brought so much joy! This is an absolute must!"
"Such a great experience with After the tone would highly recommend."
"Definitely recommend After the Tone! It was a great way to relive our night a week after the wedding. They give very clear instructions on the use of phone and return! Everyone loved it and was was such a great addition to the wedding"
