What is a video guest book?
A video guest book is the same vintage-style phone we use for our audio guestbooks, fitted with a built-in screen that records video instead of voice alone. Guests pick up the handset, see themselves on screen with a friendly prompt, and leave a message. Table groups record joint messages, children perform impromptu dances, and old friends deliver tributes they'd never say in a speech, all captured on video rather than just described.
Because it's the same familiar phone as our audio guestbook, guests need no instructions beyond the card beside it: pick up, record, hang up to save. Ghost Booth Events pairs it with our photo booth and audio guestbook so couples can offer guests a choice of how they'd like to leave a message.
How does it work?
Guests pick up the handset and the screen lights up with their own reflection and a prompt.
They record their message, watching themselves on screen as they talk.
They hang up to save it. After the event you receive every clip as an online gallery.

Video guest book FAQs
What is a video guest book?
A video guest book is a vintage-style phone, the same style we use for our audio guestbooks, fitted with a built-in screen that records video instead of audio alone. Guests pick up the handset, see themselves on screen with a prompt, and leave a message. After the event you receive every clip as an online gallery, so you see facial expressions and reactions, not just voices.
How much does video guest book hire cost in Melbourne?
Ghost Booth Events video guest book hire starts from $350, including the phone, signage and delivery of your online video gallery. It is discounted when bundled with a photo booth or audio guestbook booking.
Does the video guest book need power or Wi-Fi?
No. It's fully self-contained and doesn't need a power point or Wi-Fi, so it can be set up anywhere at your venue. Setup is one step: guests pick up the handset, record, and hang up to save.
How and when do we receive the videos?
As an online gallery you can download and share, containing every message guests recorded. Delivery timing is confirmed at booking, typically within a week of your event.
How is a video guest book different to an audio guestbook?
It's the same vintage-style phone hardware, so the experience for guests feels identical, pick up, speak, hang up. The difference is the built-in screen: a video guest book records the guest's face and reactions along with their voice, while an audio guestbook records voice only. Many couples book one or the other; some book both so guests can choose.
Where should the video guest book be set up at our venue?
A quiet corner works best, such as a foyer, lounge or breakout room away from speakers and the dance floor. Since it doesn't need a power point, you're not limited to spots near an outlet. This gives guests a moment of privacy to relax on camera, which produces longer, more genuine messages.
Can we combine a video guest book with a photo booth or audio guestbook?
Yes, and it's a popular combination. Bundled bookings are discounted and delivered in one trip by the same team.
