After The Tone is an audio guestbook company in San Clemente, California, that ships nationwide. It is owned by husband-and-wife team Jacob and Bailey and offers couples the chance to record voicemails filled with well-wishes from their favorite people on the planet. The idea was inspired by the story of Bailey's grandparents and their unique way of getting married over the phone! Because of that, phones, especially vintage models, will always have a direct line to meaningful connections for Bailey and Jacob.

Services Offered

We rent real, refurbished rotary phones that allow your guests to leave you heartfelt voicemails at your wedding or special event, adding a memorable twist to the traditional guestbook. Our phones come in 11 colors, and we ship them directly to you one week before your event. They are simple to turn on, completely wireless, and chargeable—no WiFi needed!

Once your wedding concludes, you ship the phone back to us using the provided return label. Then, we hand edit your voicemails and once we get your approval on how they sound, we send you your audio file. Or, you can add on the option of a USB or custom vinyl record!

We LOVE After the Tone!!


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 love After the Tone!!!

This is one of the most unique ideas to capture memories on big days like weddings, baby showers, big parties, graduations, etc. We used After the Tone for our wedding, and I'm so glad we did because there's something so unique about being able to listen to your memories on a day where everything was buzzing around you. The phones themselves are so cute, the color selection is awesome, the sound quality is great and everything about the product is just so ingenious!

But what really sets this company apart is it's company service. If you need your phone by a certain date outside of their usual time frame, they will work with you to make sure your phone was delivered on time.

We had a situation where we weren't sure our phone was going to arrive on time because of delays. I texted their customer service number and worked with Sal, and Sal definitely made sure that we were going to have a phone no matter what! Once I saw the delay on the original phone, Sal helped me update the address it was being shipped to, to an address in the city we were getting married in, but it was stuck in Illinois for a couple days. As a backup plan, they made sure to overnight a second phone to ensure that we got one in time for our wedding.

They were mindful of the shipping delay and kept an eye on it each day, to see if there was movement. Sal was incredibly responsive, helpful and patient with me as the stress from the phone not arriving in time started to get worse.

In the end, we got our phone!! The messages came back to us within a week and a half.

10/10 I would recommend After the Tone to everyone. You can get your messages pressed on to a record and also provided on a USB for physical storage. It's such a great idea, and it was definitely special getting to relive our wedding day through people's messages.

Thank you, Sal and team!!

Such a Fun Way to Capture the Weekend - SO Worth It!

We used After the Tone for our wedding on May 17, 2025, and it was such a fun and unique touch! The audio guest book format was such a hit. We set it up at both our rehearsal dinner/welcome party and at the reception, and guests loved stopping by to leave us quick, heartfelt (and often hilarious) messages. A couple weeks after the wedding, we received a recording with all of the messages compiled, and it was such a joy to listen through and relive the weekend through the voices of our family and friends. It’s such a unique and special keepsake that we’ll treasure for years to come. The After the Tone team was also fantastic to work with. They were super responsive and helpful with any questions or minor tech issues that came up. We had a great experience from start to finish and will absolutely be using them again for future events! Highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
