Bride and groom inside the Milestone Messages vintage phone booth

“Capture the moments that matter.”

A vintage phone booth & audio guest book rental for weddings and events. Your guests pick up the handset, hear your greeting, and leave messages you'll keep forever.

Serving NYC · Long Island · Westchester · Rockland · Hudson Valley · Northern New Jersey

How it works

A guestbook people actually use.

No pens, no awkward blank pages. Just voices.

01

Pick your phone

A 1950s payphone, a classic rotary, or a full walk-in booth. Black or white, matched to your event.

02

Guests dial in

They lift the handset, hear your personalized voicemail greeting, and speak after the tone. It runs itself all night.

03

Keep every word

Every recording delivered digitally after the event. Add a 4K video montage if you want the faces too.

Our phones

Three ways to answer the call.

Every phone uses a vintage handset and plays your personalized greeting.

FAQ

Good questions, quick answers.

What is an audio guest book?

An audio guest book is a modern twist on the traditional wedding guest book: instead of signing a page, guests pick up a vintage phone, hear a personalized greeting, and record a voice message. After the event you receive every message as an audio file — real voices and real emotions you can replay forever, instead of a book that sits in a drawer.

How does it work for guests?

They pick up the handset, hear your greeting, and speak after the tone. Hang up, done. The neon "Leave a Message" sign and your greeting explain everything — no apps, no QR codes, no instructions needed.

How much does an audio guest book rental cost?

Our packages run $450 to $1,500. The Basic ($450) is a tabletop vintage phone setup, The Headliner ($1,000) adds a full-size walk-in British phone booth or an authentic NYC street payphone, and The VIP ($1,500) adds the red-carpet treatment with the 4K video package included. Every package includes delivery, setup, breakdown, and digital delivery of all recordings.

Which phones come with which package?

The Basic is the tabletop setup with a 1950s payphone or rotary. The Headliner and VIP add your choice of the walk-in British booth or the NYC street payphone.

How far in advance should we book?

Most couples book 3 to 6 months ahead. Popular dates — especially spring and fall Saturdays — go first, so once your venue is locked in, check your date with us. Last-minute openings do happen; it never hurts to ask.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes — a 50% deposit reserves your date, with the balance due before the event. We confirm everything in writing when you book.

How long is the rental?

Five hours of recording time is standard with every package. Need longer? Ask when you book.

Can the booth be used outdoors?

Yes, weather permitting. We need a covered area — a tent, pavilion, or awning — with a standard power outlet nearby. We confirm placement details with you and your venue ahead of time.

Are you insured?

Yes. We're fully insured and can provide a certificate of insurance (COI) directly to your venue on request — just tell us where to send it.

Can the booth be decorated with flowers?

Absolutely — florals on the booth are stunning. We coordinate directly with your florist so the phone booth or payphone matches your event's look, from garlands to signage.

What does the venue need to provide?

A standard power outlet and a spot near the action. The footprint is small, and we confirm placement details with your venue before the event.

When do we get our recordings?

Every message is delivered digitally after your event as individual files — easy to save, share, and replay.

Can we record our own greeting?

Yes. Use your own voice, or tell us what to say and we'll record it for you. Either way, it's set up and tested before guests arrive.

What's the 4K video add-on?

A 4K video montage of guests leaving their messages, delivered in 16:9 for easy sharing. $200 with any package, included with The VIP.

Where do you travel?

We serve wedding venues within about a 50-mile radius: all five NYC boroughs, Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk counties), Westchester and Rockland, the Hudson Valley (Orange and Sullivan counties), and Northern New Jersey (Bergen and Passaic counties). Tell us where your event is when you check your date and we'll confirm.
