Remember back in the day when the videographer would go around to wedding guests, hand them a mic in a loud room and tell you to say something nice to the bride and groom?  A video guestbook is just like that but in a quieter area (sometimes lol), more professionally done and honestly…so much more fun!

This wedding, which took place at White Rock Canyon, was amazing and the guests were SO excited to leave well wishes for the bride and groom.  Check our just a few of the videos we were able to capture with our Video Guestbook option for weddings and events.

Video Guestbook

There’s something powerful about hearing someone’s voice on a milestone day — their laugh, their inside joke, the way they light up when recalling a memory. While a written message can be sweet, it rarely captures the tone, warmth, or personality that makes relationships memorable. That’s where the video guestbook comes in.

Forget the pen-and-paper notebook sitting quietly by the gift table. The modern video guestbook is bold, emotional, and effortlessly interactive. It invites guests to speak from the heart, share advice, relive stories, and deliver toasts in real time — all in a beautifully styled video format that’s yours to keep.

At Strata Booth, we’ve seen how a video guestbook can transform weddings, corporate events, galas, and even baby showers into something that resonates on a deeper level. It’s not just a guestbook; it’s a living time capsule.

What Is a Video Guestbook?

A video guestbook is a dedicated setup — typically a sleek touch-free booth or roaming camera station — that lets guests record short, heartfelt video messages for the hosts. Some are intimate and emotional, others are wildly funny or creatively offbeat. And that’s what makes them unforgettable.

Instead of a few lines scribbled in cursive, you get full personality: tone, expression, inflection, and unscripted love. The final product is a professionally edited reel or collection of video clips that you can watch, share, or even include in your event recap films.

Unlike a typical photo booth, a video guestbook is all about voice and presence — and the effect is often surprisingly touching. We’ve watched newlyweds tear up seeing their grandparent’s message played back in crystal-clear sound and picture. We’ve seen corporate teams deliver mini speeches and shout-outs to celebrate a retiring colleague. The range of use is wide, but the impact is consistent.

Why It Works

The magic of a video guestbook lies in its spontaneity. There’s no script. No pressure. No long line. Guests can step in on their own, speak their minds, and walk away knowing they’ve contributed something real.

It also creates a meaningful takeaway for you — something far more lasting than a guestbook with a dozen “Congrats!” scrawled across the page. And when paired with thoughtful editing and professional audio, your final video feels cinematic yet entirely authentic.

Even better? With a branded setup and a custom call-to-action, your video guestbook can double as a high-converting content machine at corporate events, activations, or conferences. Imagine a 15-second client testimonial filmed on the spot — polished, real, and delivered straight from the source.

Video Guestbooks for Weddings

One of the most popular uses for a video guestbook is, of course, weddings. And it makes perfect sense — you’ve got your favorite people in one place, your emotions are running high, and you’ll want to remember every second of it.

We style each wedding guestbook setup to match your aesthetic: soft and romantic, vintage and moody, or modern and minimal. Guests step up when the timing feels right — no emcee announcements or awkward moments needed.

In 72 hours or less, you’ll receive a curated video library of everyone who stepped into the frame and spoke from the heart. Whether you’re hearing your maid of honor relive college stories or your mom choke up on camera, you’ll be glad you gave them a space to say it.

Corporate Events & Gala Use

Corporate events are full of potential for capturing brand energy and client impact. A video guestbook allows you to gather testimonials, team reflections, sponsor shout-outs, and even executive thank-you messages — all captured while energy is high and the experience is fresh.

At galas and fundraisers, the video guestbook becomes even more meaningful. Guests can speak to the mission, share stories of how the organization has touched their lives, or encourage future donations. And you walk away with compelling video content that’s not only useful now, but repurposable later for marketing or social media.
