A Wedding Keepsake You'll Never Forget
Not every love story is told in soft focus and script fonts.
Some couples want something that feels like them ā bold, considered, a little bit unexpected. A keepsake that looks as good as it sounds and sits on a shelf like a piece of art, not a memento.
That's exactly what the Modern Wedding vinyl record is.
Your Wedding Soundtrack. Your Names. Cut Into Vinyl ā In Real Time.
At PhonoLab, we make custom vinyl records from scratch, right here in Newcastle, NSW. Every record is cut in real time ā the needle hits the blank, the groove forms, and your music lives in the vinyl forever.
Press the songs from your wedding day ā your first dance, the tracks that had everyone on the floor, the ones that perfectly captured who you are as a couple ā onto a beautifully designed record that looks nothing like anything else on your shelf. Because it isn't.
What the Modern Wedding Record Looks Like
Our Modern Wedding template is editorial, bold, and completely contemporary. Think strong sans-serif typography, high-contrast black and white photography, a striking half-circle graphic spine, and your names running vertically down the cover like a proper album release. It looks like something you'd find in a design-forward record shop ā except every detail is yours.
Full-colour pocketed cover (350gsm) Your wedding photo takes centre stage, framed by bold black and white typography with your names, a "With Love." detail, and your wedding year. Printed on heavyweight 350gsm card stock with a 3mm spine. Our free Canva templates have the correct dimensions built in so everything prints perfectly.
Custom full-colour centre labels Both sides get their own label featuring your wedding photography ā ceremony details on one side, reception moments on the other ā with the full tracklist running around the outside edge. It's a design that rewards the people who actually pick the record up and look at it closely.
Bold monogram back cover Your initials, large. Your full tracklist, listed clean. Your wedding year. Simple, strong, and instantly recognisable as yours.
QR code on the cover This is the feature that makes the Modern template genuinely unique. The QR code can link to anything ā your wedding video, your full photo gallery, your Spotify playlist, your wedding website. Scan it years later and it takes you straight back there. It's a detail that turns a beautiful object into an interactive one.
Blank poly-lined inner sleeve + shrink wrap Shrink-wrapped to give it that fresh-from-the-record-shop feel. The unwrapping is part of the moment.
Free Australian standard delivery Shipped safely anywhere in Australia (and New Zealand).
Three Ways to Use a Modern Wedding Vinyl Record
As a keepsake for yourselves A record of your wedding music, designed to match your aesthetic ā and look incredible doing it. Something you'll put on your first anniversary, your tenth, your twenty-fifth. A record that sounds and looks exactly like your wedding.
As a gift for the couple If you're buying for a couple who don't do traditional ā this is the one. Bold, personal, and genuinely different. A wedding gift that'll sit on display long after the registry items have been forgotten.
As a wedding favour or table piece The QR code makes this template especially interesting as a favour concept. Imagine a record at the centre of each table ā guests can scan the code to access your wedding playlist, photo gallery, or a message from you both. It's a talking point and a keepsake in one.
Pick Your Size
We cut custom vinyl records in three sizes:
| Size | Playlist Length (per side) | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 7" | 5 mins @ 33RPM | $100 |
| 10" | 12 mins @ 33RPM | $175 |
| 12" Single LP | 17 mins @ 33RPM | $250 |
| 12" Double LP | Two records, two sides each | $350 |
For a wedding record, the 12" Single LP is the natural choice ā up to 17 minutes per side gives you plenty of room for ceremony songs on one side and reception highlights on the other. The 12" Double LP gives you two full records if you want to capture the whole night.
Want to go further? Upgrade to a gatefold cover (+$50) ā it opens like a book, giving you a generous inner spread for more photos, a note to each other, or your wedding vows printed exactly as you said them.
No Audio Files? No Problem.
You don't need to own the music ā just the playlist.
Share your Spotify or Apple Music playlist and we'll purchase the tracks on your behalf and cut them straight to vinyl. You pick the songs, we do the rest.
Want to include something more personal? A live performance from the night, a recorded message, your vows ā if it's audio, we can cut it.
Audio formats accepted: Spotify & Apple Music playlists, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, MP3 ā whatever you've got.
