Why renting is the easy option

For a wedding or party, renting gives you everything you need without any of the hassle:

• You only need it for one day. The phone arrives before your event and goes back in the post afterwards with the prepaid label.
• The editing is done for you. Raw recordings from a wedding can be noisy. We clean them up so every message is clear.
• No tech worries. Real people are on hand to support you every day, including the day itself.
• A beautiful keepsake page. Your messages are stored online for life, ready to share with family.

Are your messages safe?

Your messages are irreplaceable, so it's natural to want to know they're protected. When the phone is used in line with the instructions that come with it, your guests' messages are recorded on the phone and kept safe until it comes back to us.

• The Telephone Guestbook Recording Promise. If the phone fails to record because of an issue on our side, we refund you.
• Lifetime storage. Once edited, every message lives on your keepsake page for life. No lost messages!
• Your own copy too. We encourage you to download your messages so you always have a copy of your own.

Optional extras

Some couples like to turn their messages into something they can hold. These are completely optional:

• A 12-inch vinyl record of your messages
• A rose-gold glass USB keepsake
• A photo audio magnet or memory plaque with a QR code
• Prompt cards with message ideas for shy guests
• A Voicemail QR page, so guests who can't make it can leave a message from their own phone

Is an audio guestbook worth it?

Couples often tell us their messages are the thing they treasure most from their wedding. Hearing grandparents, best friends and little ones in their own voices is something photos can't capture. For the price of a few flower arrangements, you get something you'll listen to for the rest of your life.
