A new audio guestbook service is available to book on-island for the first time.

Party Line BDA offers a retro telephone — in Bermudian pink — that allows guests to record messages at special events.

Given the potential sentimental value, owner Sian Blackmore said, the Party Line phone is ideal for weddings, birthday festivities, anniversary parties, retirement celebrations and more.

Ms Blackmore added: “When looking for a guestbook solution for our own wedding, my husband and I fell in love with the idea of an audio guestbook. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a local option available so we decided to come up with one ourselves for other people.

“The pink phone is a cute, retro addition to event decor but small enough that it doesn’t need to pull focus. Most importantly, it’s a fun experience for guests and a wonderful way to capture the sounds of your loved ones’ voices on a special occasion, which can be enjoyed for years to come.”

She said the device is user-friendly, with the hosts sharing a welcome greeting, which plays as soon as the phone is lifted off the cradle, inviting guests to “leave a message after the beep”.

With no further steps needed to capture these important memories, it’s extremely simple to use — even after the drinks start flowing, Ms Blackmore said.

Powered by a portable power bank, it doesn’t need to be plugged in — useful for outdoor celebrations — and audio files are shared digitally after the event.

The phone is available on a daily or weekend hire rate, with various delivery options.

It can also be booked alongside a neon “Leave us a Message” sign.

In future, additional colour options and a vinyl record pressing option may be made available, depending on demand.
