About After the Tone Guest Book

Jacob & Bailey Yackley

Cofounders of After The Tone

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.

Our phones are 100% real and refurbished from the '50s, '60s, and '70s. We make the process super easy so all you have to do is book our phone, we ship the phone to you and you turn it on with the press of a button. We're real people here to answer your questions and help you capture forever memories. Our product and audio quality truly set us apart as a premium vendor.

In three words: Innovative, Supportive, Thoughtful

    5 Stars!!!

    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!

    We absolutely loved having After the Tone at our wedding! Everyone had so much fun leaving messages, and it was such a special way to capture all the love, laughter, and well wishes from our guests. Listening back to the messages after the wedding was so emotional and honestly one of our favorite keepsakes from the day. It was such a fun experience for everyone and something we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t recommend After the Tone enough!

Here's How It Works: We ship you your real vintage phone to arrive at least 7 - 15 days before your event date. Place the phone wherever you want at your event—no plug-in needed. Guests pick up and use the phone and leave heartfelt, hilarious voicemails at your event. Send the phone back in the same box with the prepaid return label that is included. Within 24 hours of receiving your phone back, you will have access to all your voicemails online, or you can upgrade to a USB or Vinyl record for a timeless keepsake.
Audio Guestbook - $299 Our flagship service where our clients can rent one of our 100% real phones for their event to have their guests record voicemails. Post event, return your phone using the return label included in the box. You'll receive an email within a week with your messages. ‍Virtual Guestbook - $79 Go virtual, or combine phone and virtual options. Our Virtual Guestbook provides you with a phone number and website for your loved ones to call from their own cell phones and leave voicemails too. It also includes a web page that has a little blurb of how it works. Your voicemails are uploaded to your portal to share and download!
