Delivery and set-up
Are delivery, set-up and collection included?
Yes, they are included in the £395 local hire for venues within 25 road miles of Ringwood. Travel outside that area is quoted separately.
What information do you need about delivery?
Share anything you know about the unloading point, steps, lifts, narrow entrances or supplier access times. The venue planning guide has a practical checklist.
Venue access
Why does venue access need to be discussed?
The audio guest book is a full-size telephone box, so the route from the vehicle to the final position needs to be practical. Access is discussed before the wedding.
Where should the telephone box be positioned?
Choose a visible place where guests naturally pass, but avoid the loudest speakers, busy doorways and obstructed routes. Read more about positioning and how it works.
Power and Wi-Fi
Does the audio guest book need Wi-Fi?
No. Guests can leave recordings without using venue Wi-Fi.
Does the telephone box need electricity?
A standard power supply is needed nearby for the illuminated message board and warm internal lighting.
Using the telephone box
How do guests leave a message?
They pick up the receiver, hear your recorded greeting, leave their message after the tone and hang up when they are finished.
Can guests leave more than one message?
Yes. Unlimited guest recordings are included during the hire.
Personalisation
Can we record our own greeting?
Yes. Your recorded welcome greeting is included.
Is signage personalised?
Yes. The package includes a sign prepared with your names and wedding date.
Recordings
How do we receive the recordings?
The successful guest recordings are supplied digitally after the wedding. No unconfirmed file format or delivery timescale is promised on the website.
Indoor and outdoor use
Can the telephone box be used outside?
A level, dry and properly sheltered outdoor position can be discussed, subject to the venue, access and conditions. Indoor placement is the simplest option.
Collection
How is collection arranged?
Collection is part of the hire. The practical arrangement is discussed with you and the venue rather than relying on one fixed collection time for every wedding.
General venue planning
What should we ask our venue?
Ask about the delivery route, unloading, steps or lifts, a visible position away from loud music, nearby power, indoor or sheltered placement and collection access. Use the full telephone box venue checklist.
