What is an audio guestbook?

An audio guestbook is a retro telephone that records voice messages instead of collecting written notes. Guests pick up the handset, hear a greeting in your voice, and leave a message after the beep. Older relatives who would never step into a photo booth will happily talk into a phone, and the recordings are often the most emotional keepsake couples take away from the day.

Ghost Booth Events launched audio guestbooks in Melbourne in 2022 and has recorded more than 5,000+ messages since. The phone runs from a single power point with no Wi-Fi or attendant, so it works in heritage venues, marquees and restaurants where a booth won't fit.

How does it work?

1

Guests pick up the handset and press the button.

2

After the beep, they record a message and hang up.

3

You receive an online gallery of every recording to keep forever.

Audio guestbook FAQs

What is an audio guestbook?

An audio guestbook is a vintage-style telephone that records voice messages from your guests instead of written notes. Guests pick up the handset, hear a personalised greeting, leave a message after the beep and hang up. After the event you receive an online gallery of every recording.

How much does audio guestbook hire cost in Melbourne?

Ghost Booth Events audio guestbook hire starts from $350, including the phone in your chosen colour, a personalised greeting, signage and the online gallery of recordings. It is discounted when bundled with a photo booth booking.

Does the audio guestbook need an attendant or Wi-Fi?

No. The phone runs from a single power point with no Wi-Fi or mobile signal required. Setup is one button, so it suits venues where a photo booth won't fit and works for guests of every age.

How long can guests' messages be?

There is no limit on message length or the number of messages. Across our events the average message runs 45 to 90 seconds, and multigenerational guest lists tend to leave the longest, most personal recordings.

How and when do I receive the recordings?

Recordings are delivered as an online gallery you can download and share, typically within a few days of the event. Files are standard audio formats that play on any phone or computer.

Which colours are available?

White, black, beige, baby blue, red and pink as standard, with other colours available on request. Most couples match the phone to their signage or table styling.

Can I hire an audio guestbook and a photo booth together?

Yes, and it is the most common combination we deliver. The phone sits on a side table near the entrance while the booth runs during the reception. Bundled bookings are discounted and delivered in one trip.
