An audio guest book with no handset to rent
Guests scan your QR code and record a voice message right in their browser. Up to 60 seconds each. No app to install, and every recording is yours to download afterwards.
How the audio guest book works
1. Turn on the guestbook
Sign in with Google, set up your event, and switch the guestbook on from your dashboard. Your event uses one QR code for photos and messages together.
2. Guests scan and speak
Guests open the event page on their phone, tap record and leave their message. Recording happens in the browser, so there is nothing to install and no account to create.
3. Keep every message
Play messages back from your dashboard whenever you like. Export the whole guestbook as a ZIP with a printable PDF of the written notes and a folder of the voice recordings.
Why couples choose this over a rented phone
Guests use the phone in their pocket
A rented handset is one device that one guest uses at a time. Every guest at your wedding can record at the same time on the phone they already carry.
Voice and written messages together
Some guests want to talk, others would rather write. The guestbook takes both, so nobody is pushed into a recording booth to leave you something.
One payment, not a daily rental
Handset rentals are priced per day and the device goes back. PixBearer is a one-time payment for your event, starting at $24, and the recordings stay yours.
The same QR code as your photos
The code that collects photos and videos also opens the guestbook. Guests do not need a second sign or a second scan, and you do not need a second product.
Private to you
Only you see the guestbook from your dashboard. Nothing is published, and you can remove any message you would rather not keep.

Audio guest book FAQ
What is an audio guest book?
It is a guest book where people leave a spoken message instead of writing one. Traditionally that means renting a telephone handset for the reception. With PixBearer your guests record on their own phone by scanning your event QR code, so there is no hardware to hire or return.
Do guests need an app to record?
No. Recording happens in the phone browser after they scan the code. There is nothing to install and no signup.
How long can each voice message be?
Up to 60 seconds. That is long enough for a real message and short enough that guests actually finish one.
Can guests write instead of recording?
Yes. The guestbook accepts written notes and voice recordings, and each guest picks whichever they prefer.
Do I get to keep the recordings?
Yes. Play them from your dashboard at any time, or export the whole guestbook as a ZIP containing a printable PDF of the written messages and a folder of the voice notes.
How much does the audio guest book cost?
It is part of the one-time upgrade, which starts at $24. There is no subscription and no per-day rental fee.
How is this different from renting an audio guest book phone?
A rented handset is one device, used by one guest at a time, priced per day, and it goes back after the wedding. PixBearer runs on the phones your guests already have, takes any number of messages at once, and the recordings are yours to keep.
Does it work for events other than weddings?
Yes. Birthdays, retirements, memorials and company parties use the same guestbook and the same QR code.
