Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Jacob and Bailey, a husband-and-wife team, own After The Tone, a wedding rental company in San Clemente, CA. They offer you and your partner a vintage phone and audio guestbook, the perfect way to replay the beautiful sentiments from your favorite people. The idea behind the After The Tone business model is particularly emotional for Bailey. Believe it or not, her grandparents got married over the phone! For that reason, phones will always have a direct line to meaningful connections. When Bailey and Jacob started planning their wedding, they decided on an audio guestbook operated by a vintage phone, and the rest is history. During your private consultation with After The Tone, you can choose the type of phone that matches your wedding vibe. The phone will be shipped to you, and all you have to do is set up the voicemail guest book, and it's ready to go. After the wedding day ends, ship the phone back, and you will receive your memories through digital download, USB, or hand-cut vinyl keepsake.

Owners
Jacob and Bailey established this business after wanting something more from their guest book at their own wedding. They wanted something that would transport them back in time so they could relive the memories. Bailey's grandparents were married over the phone, and this gave them the idea for an audio guestbook through a vintage phone. They would be delighted to share their product with you and help elevate your own guestbook to make meaningful memories.

If you’re thinking about unique ways to capture special wedding moments and memories - After The Tone has you covered! We received our voicemails back about a week out post wedding day and it brought us to tears hearing all the well wishes, stories and compliments from our friends & family members. We will truly cherish this for years to come!

We loved having the After The Tone phone at our wedding! Not only is it a fun activity for your guests (especially as the drinks start flowing lol) and an amazing way to keep memories from the wedding. We had such a fun mix of funny and thoughtful messages, it truly is a gift. 10/10 would recommend booking them. They also have great customer service, easy to book, and got the voicemails back to us quickly- also easily accessible.

I used After The Tone for my baby shower this year and WOW! We got the sweetest messages for my baby boy that he'll be able to cherish when he gets older. The customer support was so helpful, the phone was amazing quality, and the audio that came back was really crystal clear. Not to mention, it was such a hit for our guests!

After The Tone is the absolute way to go if you’re looking to add something fun, unique and memorable to your event! We had two After The Tone vintage rotary phones and personalized signs at our wedding which looked amazing and added to the look and feel of our venue and decor perfectly! The After The Tone ordering process was seamless and getting our voicemails via email and through our personal account was a streamlined and very easy process too! The staff at After The Tone were so helpful with my needs and I highly recommend this product and this company!!!

My husband and I recently used After the Tone's audio guestbook for our wedding, and it was truly a standout feature of our day for both us and our guests! From start to finish, the experience with the phone was seamless. They offer a range of color options to match any wedding theme. The setup was incredibly easy, and the quality of the recordings turned out excellent. Our guests had a blast leaving some heartfelt and some funny messages, and it was so special to hear their voices a few weeks after the day had ended. Listening back helped us to relive our day and we will cherish the ability to listen to those messages over and over forever! Aside from the actual phone, the customer service was outstanding, and the team at After the Tone made sure everything was carried out smoothly. If you're looking for something memorable and meaningful for your wedding, we HIGHLY recommend!

We had such an incredible experience with After The Tone at our wedding! The vintage rotary phone allowed our guests to leave heartfelt messages, and we now have those voices to relive our special day forever. The process was seamless and fun, and the messages—from emotional well-wishes to some hilarious, music-filled moments—were priceless. We loved how it allowed us to hear everyone’s true feelings, captured in the moment with background music adding to the vibe. Plus, the team was amazing to work with, ensuring everything went smoothly. We couldn’t recommend this unique guestbook enough for anyone looking to make lasting memories from their big day! After The Tone truly provided us with a meaningful keepsake we’ll cherish forever
