Audio guest book

An audio guest book — no vintage phone, no rental.

Guests scan the QR code on their table and record a voice message right from their seat — on their own phone, no hardware to hire, no queue at a booth. Every message lands in your wedding album.

How it works

Three steps to voices you keep.

No equipment to collect, set up or return — the audio guest book is the same QR code your guests already use for photos.

01

They scan

The table card with your names and QR code opens your page in their phone's browser — nothing to install.

02

They speak

A toast they'd never have written down, a memory from the back row, a message from someone who couldn't come.

03

You keep every word

Messages arrive in your private album alongside the photos — replay them during retention and download the originals to keep.

Why Gathmo

Better than renting a telephone.

Vintage-phone guest books are charming — and a single device with a courier deadline. Yours works on every phone in the room.

No rental, no returns

Nothing to book months ahead, carry to the venue or ship back. Print your QR cards and you're done.

Every guest at once

A phone booth takes one guest at a time. With a QR code on every table, grandma and the best man can record in the same minute.

Transcripts, if you want them

With the Grand album, every message is also transcribed automatically — so you can search, read and quote the words, not just replay them.

One album for everything

Voices live next to the photos and videos of the same moment — one private album, not a USB stick that arrives weeks later.

Side by side

A rented handset, or every phone in the room.

Both collect voice messages. What differs is what you have to book, carry, and hope still works at eleven at night.

Vintage phone rentalGathmo audio guest book
What you bookOne device, reserved months ahead, for a single weekend.Nothing. You print table cards with your QR code.
What it costsA rental fee for one handset — often several hundred for the weekend.One price for the whole album: photos, videos and voices together.
Who can recordOne guest at a time. The rest queue, or quietly give up.Every table at once, on the phone already in their pocket.
If it stops workingThere is one device. When it fails, the guest book fails with it.There is no device. A hundred guest phones are the backup.
Photos and videoNot included — that is a booth or a photographer, booked separately.Same album, same QR code, same evening.
TranscriptsAudio only, as a rule. To remember a line, you replay the message.Written out automatically on the Grand album, so you can search and quote them.
When you hear themAfter the weekend, by download link or on a stick in the post.While the party is still going. The first ones are there on the drive home.

The charm is real: a restored handset on a side table looks wonderful, and no QR code will ever match it. What it cannot do is be in six places at once — which is why some couples do both, and let the QR code be the version that scales.

The album

Every voice message lands in the same album as the photos.

The guest book is not a separate service you have to collect afterwards. It is one album, and everyone at the wedding can open it.

  • Photos, videos and voice messages, all on one page.
  • Guests open the link and download whatever they want.
  • Public, or behind a password — you decide.
  • No app for anyone, and no sign-up to listen.

FAQ

Audio guest book questions, answered.

It's a guest book made of voices: instead of writing in a book, wedding guests record short voice messages. With Gathmo they scan your QR code and record on their own phone — no vintage telephone to rent.

No. The QR code opens your album page in the phone's browser, and guests record straight from there — no download, no account.

It's part of your Gathmo wedding album — one one-off price for photos, videos and voice messages together, instead of a separate rental fee for a single device.

The Grand album stays available for one year. Download every original before the retention window ends.

Some couples do exactly that. The handset sits on a side table for the look; the QR code goes on every table, for the guests who never walk over to it. Upload the phone's recordings to your album afterwards and both sets of voices end up in the same place.

Yes. Messages land in your album as they are recorded, not after the weekend — so the first ones are there on the drive home, instead of waiting for a download link.

Download the originals before the retention window closes and they are yours as ordinary audio files — nothing stays locked inside Gathmo. The album itself stays open for a year on the Grand plan.

The speeches end. The voices don't have to.

Set it up in two minutes — the same QR code your guests already use for photos.
