Add a voice guestbook to your packages (no hardware)
Voice is the deliverable clients remember longest and the one most photo tools do not offer -- which makes it an ideal upsell for a professional. The old way to provide it meant renting a converted vintage phone for every event, a recurring cost and a logistics headache. The modern way adds zero hardware: guests record a message in their browser from the same QR code they use for photos, and it lands in the same branded album. That difference -- a resellable feature with no per-event cost -- is what makes it such an easy addition to your packages.
On Gathmo, voice capture is part of the platform you already subscribe to, so adding it to a package costs you nothing extra per event. Notes are 30 seconds on the free tier and unlimited in length on paid plans, with automatic transcription available on higher plans. On the Agency plan (€149/month) the whole experience is fully white-labelled on your own domain, so you are selling your product, not visibly re-renting a device. For the economics versus a rented phone, see audio guestbook for event pros.
The steps below show how to turn it on, brand it, and price it as an upsell. It pairs especially well with a photo-booth or photography package, where you are already the photo expert on site -- see photo-booth operators: turn every booking into a digital upsell. To pick the tier, check the pricing page.
What you will need
- A Gathmo plan (Studio or Agency)
- An existing package to attach the voice upsell to
- A price for the voice add-on (or a premium tier that includes it)
Turn on voice in the event settings
Voice, photos and video are independent toggles on each event. Enable voice and it appears in the same QR upload flow guests already use -- they tap the microphone, record, and the note lands in the album. There is no separate device, app or setup; it is a single switch. Because it rides the same QR code as photos, guests need no extra instruction beyond the sign that is already on the table.
Brand the voice experience
On the Agency plan the voice guestbook is fully white-labelled on your own custom domain, so the recording screen and album carry your brand with no vendor trace. On Studio you get one custom domain with light branding. Either way, set your logo, accent colour and fonts so the voice capture feels like a deliberate part of your offering rather than a generic add-on. This is what lets you charge a premium for it.
Position it as a premium layer
Voice is a natural good-better-best upsell. Offer a base package with photos and video, then a premium tier that adds the voice guestbook (and optionally the live photo wall and original-quality ZIP export). Because clients perceive voice as uniquely meaningful -- a grandparent's message, a best friend's toast -- it justifies a higher tier without much resistance. Frame it as the keepsake they will replay for years.
Price it against value, not cost
Your marginal cost to deliver voice is zero (it is included in your subscription, and you keep 100% of resale), so price it on the value of the keepsake, not your cost. Set a clear premium for the voice layer or fold it into a higher package tier. Most clients will pay meaningfully more for a package that includes voice, so even a modest uplift improves your margin substantially across a season of events.
Deliver the recordings (and transcripts)
After the event, the voice notes are in the album alongside photos and video, downloadable in the original-quality ZIP. On higher plans, automatic transcription gives clients a written record too -- a thoughtful extra that costs you nothing. Hand it over with the rest of the album via a branded link. Delivering voice as a polished part of the package reinforces the premium you charged for it.
Quick recap
- Toggle voice on in the event settings (same QR flow)
- Brand the recording screen (full de-brand on Agency)
- Offer voice as a premium package tier or add-on
- Price on the value of the keepsake, not your near-zero cost
- Deliver recordings + transcripts in the branded album
Frequently asked
Enable voice in the event settings -- it rides the same QR code as photos, so guests tap the microphone and record in their browser with no app or hardware. Brand the experience (fully white-labelled on Agency), then offer it as a premium package tier or add-on. Because it is included in your Gathmo subscription with no per-event cost and you keep 100% of resale, you price it on the value of the keepsake, making it a high-margin upsell.
No. Unlike a rented vintage-phone guestbook, a digital voice guestbook needs no hardware at all -- guests record in their phone's browser from the same QR code used for photos. There is nothing to rent, ship, set up or return, and no single-device queue. This is what removes the recurring per-event cost and makes voice a feature you can resell at full margin rather than an expense you absorb.
Voice notes are up to 30 seconds on the free tier and unlimited in length on all paid plans. In practice most guests speak for 10 to 40 seconds. Recordings arrive in the album in real time alongside photos and video, and on higher plans automatic transcription provides a written record too. For a reseller, unlimited length on paid plans means you can offer a genuinely premium voice keepsake.
Yes. On the Agency plan (€149/month) the voice guestbook is fully white-labelled on your own custom domain -- the recording screen and album carry only your brand. On the Studio plan (€59/month) you get one custom domain with light branding. Branding the voice experience is what lets you present it as a deliberate part of your premium offering and charge accordingly, rather than it looking like a third-party add-on.
Price it on the value of the keepsake, not your cost -- which is effectively zero, since voice is included in your subscription and you keep 100% of resale. Most clients pay meaningfully more for a package that includes voice, because it is uniquely emotional and memorable. Offer it as a premium tier (photos and video at the base, voice and live wall above) so the upsell is a package choice rather than a discountable line item.
Automatic transcription is available on higher plans, producing a written record alongside each recording. This is a thoughtful extra to include in a premium package -- clients get both the audio keepsake and a searchable, readable transcript, at no additional cost to you. It also makes the deliverable feel more polished and professional, reinforcing the premium you charged for the voice layer.
Yes -- photos, video and voice are independent toggles on the same event and share the same QR upload flow. Guests scan once and choose what to contribute, and everything lands in one branded album. For a reseller, this means you can offer a single, cohesive 'capture everything' product rather than stitching together separate tools, which is both easier to sell and easier to deliver.
StoryWhat a white-label event photo app actually means (and what's fake)
White-label event photo apps range from a cosmetic logo swap to a fully de-branded guest gallery on your own domain. Here is how to tell the real thing from the fake -- and which tier actually unlocks it.
ComparisonGuestpix alternative with custom domains and voice
