"It added so much value to our engagement party. Hearing our friend’s voices and the messages for the first time was incredible. Cannot wait to listen to them again in the future. The company was great and communicative as well! The phone was beautiful and super easy to use. Would 100% recommend."
"The part that worked was absolutely priceless. Unfortunately the phone doesn’t hold a charge very long and was dead at the start of the party. Many guests left messages not realizing it wasn’t working. We’re lucky the wedding planner recognized the issue and got it charging for the remainder of The event."
