An audio guest book is a working telephone handset that records short voice messages. Guests lift the receiver, hear a greeting from you, then speak after the tone. The phone stores every message on an internal card. Nothing is streamed, so it works in venues with no WiFi signal.
We supply two versions. The vintage chest sits on a table and suits rustic, boho and country house settings. The phone box is a standing unit that works as a decorative feature in its own right. In a barn like Curradine Barns, it gives guests somewhere to gather away from the dance floor.
What’s Included
- All-day hire. The unit stays with you from set-up until the end of your reception.
- Delivery and set-up. Free within 20 miles of Droitwich Spa.
- Collection. We return the following day, or as agreed with your venue.

- No WiFi needed. The phone records to an internal card, so venue signal does not matter.

Which Option Should You Choose?
Choose the vintage chest for a table-top guest book, and the phone box if you want a feature. The chest suits smaller rooms and tighter budgets at £195. The phone box works better in large barns and hotel function rooms at £450. It also gives guests a reason to stop and gather during the evening.

- We collect. The unit is picked up the next day, or as agreed with your venue.

Which Venues Suit an Audio Guest Book?
Barn Venues
Barns have hard surfaces and high ceilings, so the evening gets loud quickly. Put the phone somewhere off the main room and guests will actually be heard. At Curradine Barns and Redhouse Barn, a corner away from the band works well. The phone box also fills an awkward empty wall.
Hotels and Function Rooms
Hotel function rooms usually have a bar area that guests drift towards between courses. The vintage chest sits neatly on a side table there. Bank House Hotel and Brockencote Hall both have space near the bar for this.
Marquees and Tipis
Marquees rarely have reliable WiFi, which is why a recording phone suits them. Everything saves to the phone itself. Keep the unit off the grass and under cover. We will bring a table if your marquee has none.
Manor Houses and Country Estates
Manor houses often have a hallway or drawing room away from the main reception. That is where the phone box earns its place. At Gorcott Hall, guests pass it on the way through, which keeps messages coming all evening.
