Audio guestbooks, New York
Voices from the best night of your life.
The Toast Line sets a vintage telephone at your reception. Guests pick up, hear your greeting, and speak after the tone. We deliver the phone, style the table, and hand you every recording within three days.
Why the phone works when the book does not
A guestbook people line up for
Nobody knows what to write in a guestbook, so most come home with eleven signatures and a smudge. Everyone knows how to leave a voicemail. Late in the night, after the toasts, the line gets busy: that is when the good messages happen.
Treated like an heirloom, not a file transfer
Every message is edited by hand: levels fixed, silences trimmed, nothing cut for length. You get the full set within three days, in the order the night happened, plus the raw recordings. The best of the night can be pressed to vinyl.
A New York service, not a shipping box
We deliver in the five boroughs, style the table, record your greeting, test the line, and collect everything when the night ends. No boxes to return, no chargers to lose, and nobody in your wedding party doing setup at four in the afternoon.
How the line works
Four steps. You do one of them.
Book your date
Tell us the date and the venue. We hold the phone for your night, record your greeting (your voices or ours), and coordinate delivery with your planner or venue directly.
We set the table
The phone arrives styled: stand, directory sign, prompt cards, tested line. On The Booth package we build the full lamp-lit vignette before the first guest finds their seat.
Guests pick up
They hear your greeting and speak after the tone. Thirty seconds or five minutes, one message or four: the line stays open from cocktail hour to the last dance.
You press replay
Within three days, every message lands in your inbox, edited and in order. Keep them, share them, or have the best of the night pressed to a record.
Pick up the demo line
Three messages from our demo line, played the way you will hear yours: a beat of dial tone, the beep, then the message. Press play.
It is your college roommate. I promised a toast and got cut for time, so here is the long version. Pull up a chair.
Your dad handed me the phone and walked away because he was crying. He says everything he needs to say every time he looks at you.
We met tonight at table nine and we would like the record to show that this wedding is going very well for us too.
The Toast Line is a small New York outfit in the voice-keeping business. Read why we do this, see where the line goes beyond weddings, browse the prompt cards that get guests past the beep, or meet the record your best messages get pressed to.
Saturdays go one phone at a time
We book one event per phone per night, and New York Saturdays go early. Tell us your date and we will tell you what is possible.
