An audio guestbook is one of the most meaningful additions you can bring to a wedding or event. Instead of a rushed paper book, guests pick up a vintage-style telephone, hear your custom greeting, and leave heartfelt messages you can replay for years. It’s a simple, elevated way to capture emotion, personality, and memories that photos alone can’t hold.

What Is an Audio Guestbook and How Does It Work?

An audio guestbook is a beautifully styled telephone that records voice messages from your guests throughout the night. They lift the receiver, hear your welcome message, speak from the heart, and hang up when finished. After the event, every recording is delivered digitally so you can listen back to all the laughter, advice, and spontaneous moments.

You can learn more about the style of events we support throughout Reno, Lake Tahoe, Sparks, and Northern Nevada by viewing our Enhancements Page or pairing the guestbook with our Wedding DJ & MC Services or Photo Booth Experiences.

Why Couples Love Audio Guestbooks

An audio guestbook captures the one thing photography can’t — the voices of the people who matter most. You’ll hear parents sharing blessings, best friends leaving late-night jokes, and loved ones offering words they might never speak on paper. Couples often replay these messages on anniversaries or share them with family members who couldn’t attend.

It’s emotional, timeless, and unforgettable.

Vintage-Inspired Phones in Multiple Styles

JAM Entertainment offers a curated collection of phones, including vintage gold rotary styles, classic black or ivory handsets, and playful retro-inspired colorways. Guests recognize them instantly and are drawn to pick them up. Behind the scenes the technology is clean, modern, and reliable — but visually the phones feel nostalgic and elegant.

Indoor & Outdoor Placement (Weather Permitting)

Your audio guestbook can be placed indoors near the guestbook table, lounge, or bar, or outdoors when weather and conditions allow. We help you choose a location that keeps messages clear and ensures guests naturally engage with the experience. Outdoor placement requires simple weather protection, which we coordinate with your venue.

Included Signage & Custom Greetings

Every rental includes clear signage with instructions so guests know exactly what to do. You can also record a custom greeting — a warm welcome message that plays before each guest leaves their recording. Many couples love adding a personal touch here, and we guide you through it during planning.

Corporate Events & Private Parties

The audio guestbook is not just for weddings. Corporate clients use it to collect testimonials, stories, and guest reactions during galas, conferences, and brand activations. It also works beautifully for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and private celebrations.

When Should You Use an Audio Guestbook?

Most couples place the guestbook near the bar or lounge during their reception, but it can also be used during cocktail hour, welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, or after-parties. It pairs naturally with our Photo Booths to give your guests two interactive experiences in one area.

How You Receive Your Audio Files

After your event, we process your recordings and deliver everything digitally to your email. You’ll receive a clean set of audio files that you can save, share, or weave into your wedding film or anniversary videos.

Service Area for Audio Guestbook Rentals

We serve the entire Reno–Sparks region, the Greater Lake Tahoe area (including Incline Village and Truckee), and much of Northern Nevada and Northern California upon request. Travel within 75 miles of Reno is included; beyond that, we’ll provide clear travel options.

Add an Audio Guestbook to Your Event

During your consultation, we help you choose your phone style, confirm placement, and walk you through recording your greeting. Setup, signage, testing, and teardown are all included. If you’re already booking DJ services, photo booths, or enhancements, we simply add the guestbook to your agreement so everything is seamless.
