Audly Audio Guestbook

04/01/2024

Our bookings opened April 1 last year. Since then, we've been able to add 6 additional phones and a virtual line, with lots more on the way. A huge thank you to the 18 couples who have already had an Audly phone be a part of their day, and to the 27 couples who will have one on their big day this year and next. Your enthusiasm and support for our unique lineup of phones has been fantastic and will allow us to build on it even more going forward.

After a having a year to settle in and get grounded in our product and service, it's become pretty clear what we want Audly to become. Now that the business is established, it's time for us to focus on the lineup. We want Audly to have the most unique lineup of phones available anywhere - phones you can only find with us. We have some pretty cool ones in the queue right now, and we're hopeful about some super fun partnerships going forward.

Looking forward to another year of voicemails!

It's been a busy start to the new year for phone bookings, so we're adding 2 more styles! Both of these new additions are part of our Capital Line, meaning crystal clear modern sounding audio.

The all-white Elgin is great for couples feeling extra bridal on their wedding day, and the red Preston is perfect for a crowd who's never seen a rotary dial before.

Both are available to book on our website today!

01/08/2024

We're looking forward to having all of our phones and speakers at the Capital Wedding Show on January 20 and 21! Come try out our phones for yourself, and get yourself some wedding show exclusive deals. We'll also have a first look at our 2 newest phones that we'll be announcing next month.

Hear what real people have had to say after booking an Audly phone. Just a few reviews from our Google profile from our wonderful couples.

09/22/2023

Have friends or family who can't make it to the wedding? With a physical guestbook, audio or not, their well wishes aren't included in your keepsakes. With Audly's new virtual phone line, that will never be the case again. From anywhere in North America, family and friends who can't make it physically can call your personal number and leave a message just like they would on one of our audio guestbooks. Their messages are delivered to you just as the rest of them are.

This service is available by request for free with a physical phone booking, and for a very small fee without a phone booking. Feel free to ask about a virtual line for your wedding.

☎ New phone alert ☎

Meet The Britannia! This pale blue phone is part of our Capital Line, meaning it's a newly manufactured phone with a great sound. If you care about audio quality over nostalgia, then this is the phone for you. The pale blue will fit in great with a wide variety of different colour schemes.

08/18/2023

It's important to hear what a phone sounds like before you book, so here's a fun sample from one of our new phones, The Highlander. Availability for this phone is already going fast.

This phone is part of our Bytown Line, meaning it's an authentic rotary phone that sounds exactly as it would have back when rotary phones were the norm.

08/16/2023

Introducing our last new phone style for this set - The Midway.

Named after Ottawa's favourite family fun park, this bright red phone is sure to pop on your guestbook table. Originally a beige colour like The Highlander, this phone was spraypainted by the vintage shop it lived at. The result of the paint is a flatter matte finish, rather than the shiny plastic you'll find on the rest of our phones. It sounds and works great, and features a metal underside.

Introducing our next new phone style - The Flapjack.

Named after the recently closed Preston staple, this unique pancake phone is sure to draw some attention. Its butterscotch body and gold underbelly is true to the time. The phone is in fantastic condition and sounds great. You'd be hard pressed to find an audio guestbook like this anywhere else!

Introducing our first new phone style - The Highlander.

Named after the beloved Highlander Pub that called the Byward Market home for almost two decades, this classic beige rotary phone is sure to fit in with almost any colour scheme. It definitely saw some use in its day, and even came with a photo of someone's kid with a sweet bowl cut. Being an authentic phone, its underside is made of metal, making this phone a lot heavier than it looks. A sample audio clip is available on our website, and it has plenty of availability right now.

Introducing our second line of phones - The Bytown Line! Each phone will be individually introduced in the coming week, but we wanted to let everyone know that these phones are different than what you're used to before booking.

Phones from the Bytown Line are real used vintage phones. These are picked up from a variety of sources like flea markets, garage sales, vintage shops, and more. Not only do they look and feel authentic, but they sound the part too. While we do crack them open to put our signature Audly features in them, nothing is done to the original wiring of the handset, meaning they sound exactly as they would have in their prime.

The cost is the exact same as our newer phones (The Capital Line, as we now call it), so if you're looking for a more retro sound to your audio guestbook, feel free to ask for one of these. All 3 phones have fresh availability right now and they will be added to the website shortly.

06/28/2023

Add-ons? Never heard of her. Audly guestbooks come with everything included, from free delivery to a custom greeting on the phone. You keep your phone for up to 2 days after your event, and your files are delivered within 24 hours after the phone is returned. No extra cost, that's just the benefit of going local!

Our summer 2023 dates are well over half booked, so contact us to secure your date. We have a few more styles coming shortly, so stay tuned if your date is showing as booked.

06/05/2023

What do messages from our phones actually sound like? No better way to find out than to just listen yourself!

Introducing “The Rideau”. Being local to Ottawa, our lineup of phones will all be named after streets familiar to all of us. That being said, our very first phone is a classic, the original (minus the construction). This sleek black rotary phone is perfect for any event. It won’t steal the show, but it’ll fit in nicely to any aesthetic without clashing with your other items.

03/30/2023

Audly isn't just another audio guestbook company - we've spent time researching the market and have been pushing the boundaries of what audio guestbooks can be. Our guestbooks have all the features you'd expect, but here are some of the more unique features that make Audly such a great choice for your wedding or event.

𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀
I won't lie - this is the feature I was the most excited we were able to implement. With a lot of other audio guestbooks, there’s a constant question about whether the phone is actually working. Is it on? Did the last person hang it up properly? With 2 visible LED lights, you’ll never have to worry about that with Audly. A white light on the bottom of the phone tells you the phone is on and working, and a red light on the top lets you know that your message is being actively recorded!

𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆
99% of the time, you won’t even need to think about how an Audly audio guestbook is powered. You flip the switch, and the internal battery lasts for over 12 hours. This means Audly is completely cordless! In the event of a dead battery, you have plenty of options to make sure your messages are still getting recorded. All you need is a power source and a micro-USB cable.

𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼
Just because you’re talking into an old rotary phone, doesn’t mean it has to sound bad. With Audly, there’s no hissing, buzzing, or clicking like you’d get with some other phones. Not to get too technical, but the brain that powers Audly is made just for this type of thing. Not only that, but it can hold well over 100 hours of recordings, so your aunt can speak her mind.

𝗣𝗿𝗲-𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀
With Audly, you don’t need to stress about solving some sort of puzzle to figure out how to record your greeting. Your event is in a matter of hours, you don’t have time to figure out a series of buttons on a rotary phone just to record your greeting. Before you even receive the phone, you use your voice memo app on your smartphone and send us your greeting to have it pre-loaded on the device. The only thing left for you to do is hit the power button!

We've been hard at work preparing everything to get Audly phones out at events this spring. We've received a few questions asking when people will be able to reserve their dates. With our first phone almost ready, we're happy to be able to say Audly will be ready to start taking bookings on April 1! We'll be taking any reservations with event dates past April 15.

We'll be highlighting some of the features that make Audly great in the coming week, so stay tuned. You'll get a peek at what our first phone looks like too.
