Audio guestbook, video guestbook or photo booth: which suits your event?
30 October 2026 · The Joymakers Collective
The short answer: An audio guestbook records your guests' voices. A video guestbook phone records their voice and face. A photo booth takes pictures, not messages. If you want to see and hear every message, choose a video guestbook.
What does each one record?
| Audio guestbook | Video guestbook phone | Photo booth | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Records | Voice | Voice and face | Pictures |
| Guests leave | A spoken message | A video message | A pose |
| You keep | Sound clips | Video files | Photos or prints |
How does a video guestbook phone work?
It works like a phone call. Guests lift the receiver, hear your greeting, speak, and hang up.
How is it different from a photo booth?
A photo booth shows how guests looked. A guestbook phone keeps what they wanted to say to you, in their own voice.
