After the wedding you get every message and photo, ready to enjoy again whenever you like.
The box
A full-size Irish phone box, built by hand in Galway.
Telefón boxes once stood in villages and towns all over Ireland, and many a love story began at one, with a late-night call or a promise to meet there. Ours is a full-size tribute, handmade in Galway, bringing a little of that romance back for a new generation of love stories.

Inside the box
Inspired by the traditional payphone.
It looks and feels like the payphones of old, but every part, from the electronics to the software that runs it, was designed and built in Galway by Éirlúm.
- Seven round screensYour names, wedding date and photos, plus friendly prompts that walk each guest through their call, in English or Irish.
- Built-in cameraAn on-screen countdown says “Smile!” and takes a photo of each guest, so every message comes with a face.
- Four simple buttonsUp, down, enter and back. Guests replay, re-record or save their message in a couple of presses, and use the same buttons to play the games and cast their vote.
- Clear soundA real Receiver with an Irish dial tone, and automatic levelling so quiet voices and loud ones both come through clearly.
- Hidden backup recorderTucked behind the 10c coin, a second recorder keeps a copy of every message, just in case.
Your names, your style
Choose the lettering that suits your day.
Round screens inside the box greet guests with your names, your date and two of your photos. Choose from six lettering styles for your names, including Celtic lettering in the style of the old Irish manuscripts.
A little fun as well
Games that get everyone talking.
Two games run on the phone's screens, using your names, so even the shyest guest has something to say.
- The Quickfire RoundGuests get five rapid-fire questions, eight seconds each, from “Three words for the bride” to “Who will cry first at the speeches?” Twenty questions are in the mix, and every answer is recorded as one message.
- Who's more likely to…?After leaving their message, each guest gets one question, like “Who’s more likely to burn the dinner?”, and votes for one of you with the buttons. They see the running score straight away, and you get the full results after the wedding.

How and when do we get our messages?
Every audio message, every guest photo and the voting game results are sent to you within 5 days of the wedding.
What if something goes wrong on the night?
A hidden backup recorder, concealed behind the 10c coin, keeps a second copy of every message, so none are lost.
How much space does the box need?
The box is 8 ft 4 in tall and 3 ft 3 in wide and deep (254 × 99 × 99 cm). It needs a ceiling of at least 9 ft, a doorway at least 4 ft 6 in wide to bring it in, two power sockets nearby, and a little room in front for the door to open.
Do you set it up and take it away?
Yes. We deliver and set it up before your event, then collect it the following morning. Exact times are agreed with you in advance, depending on venue access. Day-before delivery or a longer hire can be arranged for an extra charge.
Where do you travel, and what does it cost?
Anywhere on the island of Ireland. We're based in Galway, and the delivery and collection charge depends on how far your venue is. It's confirmed in your quote before you book. For long journeys, any overnight costs are agreed with you first.
How do we book?
Send an enquiry with your date. We'll check it's free and send you a quote. A deposit of 10% of the hire price secures your date, and the balance, including delivery and collection, is due 14 days before the wedding. Booking within 14 days of the day? Full payment is needed before delivery.
Does our venue need to agree to it?
Yes. Please check your venue allows delivery, set-up and collection, and tell us about any access restrictions or changes to your schedule.
What if we need to cancel or change our booking?
Let us know as soon as you can. The deposit and any cancellation charges are handled under the booking terms, taking account of timing and costs already committed. Read the full hire terms.
The small print
Hire, delivery & collection policy.
The terms that apply to every DIAL-I-DO booking. Prices, delivery arrangements and payment dates are always confirmed in writing before you book.
1. Hire Period
DIAL-I-DO is hired for the wedding day, allowing guests to leave audio messages throughout the agreed event period.
The standard hire includes delivery and setup before the event, followed by collection the following morning. Exact delivery and collection times will be agreed with the customer in advance and are subject to venue access.
Day-before delivery or extended hire periods may be available by prior arrangement and may incur additional charges.
2. Delivery & Collection Charges
Delivery and collection charges are calculated according to the venue's distance from Éirlúm's dispatch location and the logistics required for the booking.
The applicable transport charge will be confirmed in the quotation before the booking is accepted. Unless otherwise stated, this charge covers both delivery and collection.
Additional charges may apply for:
- Venues outside the standard delivery area.
- Additional journeys or changes to agreed delivery arrangements.
- Restricted access, extended waiting times or special handling requirements.
- Additional delivery or collection visits requested by the customer.
3. Long-Distance Bookings & Accommodation
For venues requiring substantial travel, an individual transport quotation will be provided.
Where the distance, delivery schedule or collection time makes an overnight stay reasonably necessary, accommodation and associated travel costs may be included in the quoted logistics fee. Any such charges will be agreed with the customer before the booking is confirmed.
Éirlúm will not commit to additional transport or accommodation expenses without first agreeing the relevant charges with the customer.
4. Booking & Payment
A booking deposit of 10% of the hire price is payable to reserve the requested date, subject to the terms agreed at booking and applicable consumer law.
The remaining hire balance and all agreed delivery, collection and additional charges must be paid no later than 14 days before the event.
DIAL-I-DO will not be dispatched or delivered until all amounts due before the event have been received.
For bookings made within 14 days of the event, full payment is required before delivery.
5. Cancellations & Changes
Customers should notify Éirlúm as soon as possible if their event is cancelled or the booking needs to change.
The booking deposit and any cancellation charges will be handled in accordance with the agreed booking terms and applicable consumer law. Any cancellation charge will take account of the timing of the cancellation, costs already incurred, commitments made and any reasonable losses arising from the cancellation.
Where delivery or accommodation arrangements have already been booked, any applicable cancellation costs will be addressed under the agreed terms.
If Éirlúm is unable to fulfil a confirmed booking, the customer will be entitled to the refund or other remedy required under the applicable terms and law.
6. Venue Access & Collection
The customer is responsible for confirming that the venue permits the agreed delivery, setup and collection arrangements.
DIAL-I-DO must be positioned in an agreed, suitable location with appropriate access for delivery and collection. The customer should notify Éirlúm in advance of any venue restrictions, access limitations or changes to the event schedule.
If access is unavailable at the agreed time, Éirlúm will work with the customer to agree an alternative arrangement. Any additional costs will be communicated and agreed where practicable before they are incurred.
7. Additional Hire & Special Arrangements
Additional hire days, alternative collection times and special delivery arrangements may be available subject to availability and an agreed additional fee.
All prices, delivery arrangements, payment deadlines and any special conditions will be confirmed in writing before the booking is finalised.
