After The Tone is on a mission to further human connection with the creation of the audio guest book. In 2020, we started the company after first introducing the idea at our own wedding. The service provides a vintage rotary phone for guests at any event to leave voicemails on. Then, the phone is shipped back to the company’s headquarters where the messages are transferred onto a digital file, USB, or vinyl record as a way to relive those special memories through the voices of loved ones.

After the Tone Guest Book provided an exceptional experience for our wedding day. Their communication was timely, friendly, enthusiastic, and incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was clear, professional, and quick - we were thrilled with the final product. After The Tone allowed us to cherish the voices and memories from our special day in a way that photos or written cards simply could not. We had such an amazing experience all around and are so impressed with the quality of the recordings we captured. We would 1000% recommend After The Tone to any couple on their wedding day. Being able to hear the emotion in our loved ones' voices is something photos or cards simply can't replicate. We've loved listening back to the messages from our friends and family, and know they'll only become more meaningful with time. We're so grateful we chose to include this unique memento of our wedding day!

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • No free parking
We hosted our wedding weekend at Casa Loma Beach Hotel recently, and it exceeded every expectation. With guests flying in from across the country and around the world, we heard nonstop praise about how cozy, elegant, and effortlessly chic the hotel felt (plus the cocktails and cookies were top notch). The staff was incredibly accommodating--helping with porterage, clear communication, and even a few lost-and-found rescues (thank you Amber!). Allene and Elisa were standout stars throughout the weekend helping us host several events at the hotel over three days - and stepping in to address curveballs from vendors and weather. When a once-in-a-blue-moon monsoon forced us to pivot from our planned rooftop events, the Casa Loma team handled the change with grace and creativity, preserving the overall vibe we envisioned. Guests-both locals and out-of-towners-couldn't stop raving about the views and the unbeatable location. Some spent time in the cute nooks and crannies throughout the hotel or relaxed on their balconies with those unmatched ocean views (when the rain finally let up), while others wandered over to Marine Room for late-night drinks thanks to the perfect location. And of course, the food via Sapphire was amazing! We were able to check off all our boxes when it came to cuisine and transport our guests to all ends of the earth with food from the Mediterranean, Malaysia, and South America. The Late Night Bites of sliders, fries and chicken tenders were crowd MVPs at our Afters. Thank you to the entire team for transforming a rained-out wedding weekend into the intimate, romantic wedding of our dreams.

I have 6 sisters so not only do I love what I do, but I believe in it as a hopeless romantic at heart. I enjoy bringing together families and friends to forget about their problems for a day and just enjoy life and celebrate.

From the moment we started working with DJ Dominiq, we knew we were in good hands. He was incredibly patient and attentive, taking the time to understand our vision for the music and vibe of our wedding. On the day of, Dominiq's energy and enthusiasm were infectious - he really got my more reserved family members out on the dance floor, leading them in fun group dances like the Macarena. The music was perfectly timed, and he even helped make our first dance extra special by cueing the song at just the right moment. As a busy veterinarian, I really appreciated how on top of communication Dominiq was when it came to finalizing the song choices. Our wedding was almost 6 years ago, and to this day my family is still raving about how amazing the music and overall vibe was thanks to Dominiq's fantastic work. We couldn't recommend him more highly! He even captured this amazing photo of our first dance! It’s beautifully displayed in our living room. It’s the little things that he went above and beyond for us and he is truly amazing at what he does!

Jenny Markham Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the beginning, Jenny was open to all of our ideas and easily accessible, making the planning process a breeze. Her whimsical style and ability to capture photos with a sense of motion and energy were exactly what we were looking for. I remember Jenny told me that she would never make us do anything just for a photo and would never make us do anything twice - she wanted our photos to be natural, which I loved. On the day of the wedding, Jenny fit seamlessly into the background, working hard to capture all of the special moments, both big and small. She found the perfect spot for our first look and even helped me recreate some shots I had seen on Pinterest. Jenny was also flexible and accommodating when we surprised her with a first look request with my dad and grandfather. We are thrilled with the beautiful, dedicated photos that Jenny delivered, and we would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer to document their wedding day.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Makeup by Coyotzi! As an Asian bride, it was really important for me to find someone who understood how to enhance my features in a soft, elegant, and timeless way — and she exceeded every expectation From the trial to the wedding day, she made me feel so comfortable, listened carefully to everything I wanted, and absolutely brought my vision to life. My makeup looked flawless in person and photographed beautifully all day long without feeling heavy or overdone. She knew exactly how to create the perfect balance of glam while still making me feel like myself. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also so professional, calming, and sweet to be around on such an important day. My bridal party and family were obsessed with their makeup too!
