Audio guestbooks
Voices worth keeping, waiting on the line.
A real vintage telephone becomes your audio guestbook. We turn every message into a cleaned-up, transcribed, shareable keepsake you’ll still be listening to in 40 years.
Packages from $299.
Why couples pick us
Anyone can ship you a cute phone.
We’re built by software people. The phone is just the microphone; the keepsake is the product.
01Live during the party
Most messages appear in your gallery while the party is still going, so you can sneak a listen between the toasts and the last dance.
02Transcripts that know who’s talking
Every message is transcribed, searchable, and titled by the voice on it. “Hi, this is Auntie Karen” files itself under Auntie Karen, not MSG00007.
03Cleaned audio
We isolate voices, cut background noise, and level every recording so Grandpa’s toast is crystal clear instead of buried under the DJ.
04Share links for the grandparents
Send a link that needs no account and no app. Every link expires on your schedule and can be switched off any time.
05Physical keepsakes
Turn the voices into keepsakes: a printable guestbook of transcripts, share-ready waveform videos, and a highlight reel of the night’s best messages. See every keepsake →

Your private gallery, mid-reception. Rename, favorite, share, and download every message. It’s yours to keep, not a folder of files you’ll lose.
How it works
-
01
Lift the handset
The greeting plays automatically: yours, recorded right on the handset, or one of our warm voices.
-
02
Leave a message
Speak after the tone, just like a familiar phone. No app, nothing for guests to learn.
-
03
Listen for years
Recordings arrive in a private, shareable guestbook, most while the party is still going.
-
04
Then, keepsakes
Transcripts, videos, and prints that keep the voices close.
From a real wedding
“We played the messages on the drive home and cried the whole way. My grandfather told a story I’d never heard. It’s the best thing we did for the wedding.”
Emily & Jack · married June 2026
The lineup

The messages that made you cry, kept for good.
A printable guestbook, every word in print. Waveform videos ready to share. A highlight reel of the night's best messages.

The phones are vintage. The software is ours.
The phones are genuine restored vintage telephones. The software behind them is ours, end to end: the uploads, the transcripts, the gallery, the share links.
Your Voices, Guaranteed. If the equipment fails to capture messages at your event, you get a full refund.
Nothing is ever lost. Every message is saved from the first hello to the last toast, and even a deleted one can be brought back.
Your greeting, your way. Record it on the handset when the phone arrives, upload one, or type it and pick a voice.
“I started this after my own wedding, when the toasts ended and I realized I’d never hear them again.”
— Sam, founder
Questions couples ask
How does the phone work at the event?
Plug it into a normal outlet, and it is ready. There is no app to install and nothing for guests to learn: they lift the handset, hear your greeting, and speak after the tone, just like a familiar phone.
How do we get the recordings?
Your private online gallery is ready within 48 hours — and most messages appear while the party is still going. Listen on any phone or laptop, share with family, and download everything anytime.
What if the room is loud?
Wedding rooms are loud. We isolate voices, cut background noise, and level every recording, so Grandpa's toast comes through crystal clear — not buried under the DJ.
Can people who can't attend leave a message?
Yes. Our call-in line add-on gives faraway guests a phone number to call, and their messages land in your gallery beside the ones left at the event.
