Occasions
Weddings mostly. Toasts always.
The line was built for wedding receptions, and that is where it spends most Saturdays. But a toast is a toast: retirements, galas, fiftieth anniversaries, and the hardest goodbyes all sound better spoken than signed.
Weddings
from $349The signature setup, from cocktail hour to last dance. Your greeting in your voices, prompt cards tuned to your crowd, and every message back before the honeymoon photos are.
See wedding packages and pricingCompany parties and galas
from $495Holiday parties, launches, retirements, award nights. The guestbook framing swaps for a message line your team will actually use: notes to the founders, roasts for the retiring, the year in voices.
Memorials and celebrations of life
quoted individuallyA quiet corner and an open line for the stories that do not get told from a podium. Unhurried setup, gentle signage, and recordings delivered privately to the family.
Milestones
from $349Fortieths and fiftieths, anniversaries, bar and bat mitzvahs, graduations. Any night where the room is full of people who have known each other a long time.
Where the van goes
The five boroughs are included in every package; beyond them we quote a flat travel fee up front. See how the line works in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Long Island, and the Hudson Valley. However far the van drives, every booking ships with the prompt deck, and every night can end up on the record.
Questions people ask before booking
What is an audio guestbook?
A telephone that records voice messages instead of a book that collects signatures. Guests pick up the handset, hear a greeting from the hosts, and leave a message after the tone. The hosts receive every recording after the event.
How does the phone work at a wedding?
We deliver and style the phone before guests arrive, usually near the bar or the guestbook table. There is no dialing and nothing to explain: lifting the handset starts the greeting, the tone follows, and hanging up saves the message.
Do guests actually use it?
Yes, and mostly late. The first hour is polite messages; the last two are the ones you will replay. Prompt cards on the table help guests who freeze at the beep, and an attendant (on The Full Night) keeps the line moving.
Does it need Wi-Fi or a phone line?
No. The phone records locally and needs only a standard outlet. It works in basements, ballrooms, backyards, and every venue in between, including the ones with no signal.
How and when do we get the recordings?
Within three days you get a private link with every message, edited and in the order the night happened, plus the raw files. Nothing is posted anywhere, and the recordings belong to you.
Where does the phone go in the room?
Somewhere guests pass but can linger: near the bar, beside the seating chart, at the end of the lounge. We have set up in lofts, ballrooms, rooftops, and restaurant back rooms, and we will suggest a spot when we see your floor plan.
Do you travel outside New York City?
Yes: Long Island, the Hudson Valley, and north Jersey, with a flat travel fee quoted up front. Farther than that, ask; the van has done Connecticut.
Can we hear an example before we book?
Yes. Ask when you inquire and we will send a short sample reel of what a night on the line sounds like, plus a sample greeting so you can hear the flow guests get.
