Audio guestbook

A phone your guests pick up to leave you a voicemail — laughter, toasts, and the things people never write in a card.

Also called: audio guestbook, guestbook phone, voicemail guestbook, after the tone.

When couples book this

Usually booked about 3 months out. It moves with your date.

Your wishlist, before you talk to anyone

Questions you can answer early — they become the yardstick you compare candidates against.

What look fits your day?
How do you want the messages afterward?

What settles once booked

The working details you and your vendor pin down together.

Your greeting message
The outgoing message guests hear before the tone — most couples record their own the week before.
Where does it sit?
Somewhere guests linger with a little quiet — near the guestbook table or the bar, away from the speakers.
What time do they arrive?
The time you agreed together, not an estimate worked back from the ceremony.
What time do they finish?
Who do you call on the day?
The name and cell number of whoever is on site — not the office line.
Where do they come in, and where do they park?
The load-in door or dock, where the vehicles go, and who opens up.
Do they need a meal?
Counts toward your caterer's vendor-meal number.
What balance is due on the day?
Your own figure, from your contract — what is still owed when they arrive.
What gratuity are you planning?
Your own figure. It rides beside the balance on the day-of money sheet.

How it lands on your day

How it’s usually priced

Usually priced as one flat amount.

Lines that sometimes ride along: Keepsake album / vinyl pressing.

What your vendor reads from your plan

Book on or off Beetrothed — either way the plan assembles a brief your vendor can work from: the guestbook, the event, contacts.

Plan your audio guestbook — and everything around it

These questions live as one cell of a connected plan: your budget, guest list, checklist and timeline all read from the same answers. See the whole board work, or join the waitlist and we’ll write when it’s your turn.
