In the world of weddings, guestbooks have long been a staple for couples to capture the well-wishes and memories of their loved ones. However, in recent years there has been growing popularity for couples to move away from written guest books and incorporate an audio guestbook on their wedding day.

Today on Cut the Cake, we have the privilege of chatting with Liz, the co-founder of Off The Hook. Off the Hook is one of the OG audio guest book companies in Australia and prides themselves in offering audio guest books with no hidden costs, no cords ruining your wedding day style, and the largest colour range to choose from with 10 colours available.

We discuss with Liz the inspiration behind starting Off the Hook and how it helps couples create unforgettable memories on their special day. How their audio guestbooks work, from the recording process to the final product. And the benefits an audio guest book offers compared to traditional written guestbooks.

Off the Hook has established itself as a leading provider of audio guestbooks in Australia and continues to remain at the forefront of this innovative trend. We are so thrilled to bring this episode to you so without any further ado, here is Liz from Off The Hook.
