When I say we hit the jackpot in hiring Black Tie Video as our wedding videographers, I mean that wholeheartedly. They were quite possibly the best decision of our wedding vendor team, and you get so much quality for the extremely reasonable pr...
ice you pay for their services. I can’t help gushing about how wonderful they are!
We found ourselves in an unfortunate situation: our videography company that we’d hired a year before our wedding went bankrupt less than 2 weeks before our wedding, leaving us in an extremely devastating position. I contacted tons of videographers as soon as I found out, and miraculously Black Tie Video was available for our date, and I am forever grateful. Not only was Jim familiar with our venue, but he was also very personable and easy to talk to. We signed a contract the same day, and wow did we hit the jackpot! For a full hour-and-half video and 6-minute highlight film, they charged half the price as other videographers, and the quality wasn’t affected one bit.
The day of, Jim and his wife Barbara were exceptionally professional: they were on time, super friendly, and did their work seamlessly without drawing attention to themselves. Jim was responsive to all my questions before and after the wedding, and he gave sound advice and incorporated my music picks perfectly, When we got the wedding highlight video back, we were floored at how amazing it was: all the best moments were caught on camera and timed excellently to the music, and the video captured the vibe of the wedding so accurately. I don’t usually like looking at myself, but I can’t stop watching the video! The full film included the entire ceremony, dances, speeches, and much of the reception, and it was a delight to see everyone having fun and all the little details I missed the day of.
I rambled a lot, but I’m so pleased with Black Tie Video! They did an incredible job from every angle and are such a strong recommendation. Trust me!
Professional service with great communication. Flexible with our changing schedule and super accommodating. we got our wedding video back in a timely fashion, asking our opinions and ways to improve our experience the whole way and that was muc...
h appreciated. Mike captured the whole day better than we could have imagined! We had some special moments planned that we wanted to be sure were captured perfectly and Mike did that for us. For any event that you want accurate, artistic depictions, we highly recommend Mike and the Black Tie team!
Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with! Many of our friends and family have used Black Tie for their wedding videos. He was recommended to us. We are so glad we had Mike as part of our day! He was so attentive to me and my husband. Mike ca...
ptured many beautiful moments from our wedding. He had the instant replay video ready within hours after our wedding. Our wedding was in October 2020. We still watch it everyday! Mike hand delivered my full video to my home. He is so sweet and kind! I am so grateful and thankful for his amazing videography services! Thank you so much Mike!
Any questions?
Mike from Black Tie Video was a pleasure to work with. Our wedding on 10/16/20 took a turn for the worst when our original Videographer neglected to show up for the wedding. A couple phone calls were made and Mike arrived within 30 mins to help...
make all our wedding dreams come true! My husband and I cannot truly thank Mike enough for his kindness and professionalism! If I had to do this all over again Black Tie Video would be the way to go!
Mike was an absolute gem to have as our Videographer. Kind, Caring, Courteous, and Professional. The Instant Replay video wowed our guests, and we couldn't be happier with our Wedding Video. So thankful. Thank You Mike!
Mike is absolutely amazing. Our Instant Replay video was a highlight of our wedding - guests were so impressed at the ability for Mike to put together such a heartwarming video to be played prior to our entrance at the reception. Everyone was i...
n tears! Mike was so easy to work with throughout the whole process and he captured our day beautifully! We've received our two short edited versions of our video and cannot wait to receive the long version! We watch them over and over.
We couldn't have been happier with Black Tie Video! The instant replay was AMAZING and our guests loved the uniqueness of the replay during the reception! They had never seen anything like it. Mike was great to work with throughout the day and ...
is a true professional. We can't wait to see the rest of our videos and are so grateful to have had Black Tie Video capture our day!
Mike was extremely professional throughout the entire process. He was very helpful in choosing a video package that would best work for us. We also got so many compliments on the Instant Replay, and it was available right away for me to show pe...
ople that couldn't come to the wedding! would highly recommend Mike, and would definitely recommend the Instant Replay. My husband cried like a baby watching it and I've had other couples say they loved it so much that they want to use it at their wedding!
Mike from Black Tie Video is amazing. He did a wonderful job with videotaping our wedding. The Instant Replay at the Reception was a huge hit! He also provided 2 shorter versions and a long video of the big day. He is a very easy person to ...
work with and captured our day beautifully. Thank you so very much!
This videographer is amazing!! The same day edit is phenomenal. I saw this at a wedding years ago and remembered it for my wedding. So many of my guests commented on it. The video was the highlight of the wedding! Mike and Elizabeth are so...
great to work with from the planning to the actual day. Very professional, highly skilled, personable and easy to work with. Very affordable as well! Great value!
Black tie video was mentioned to us through a co-worker. Initially, we didn’t think we needed a video to capture our day. Upon meeting with Mike, he showed us his past videos and they blew us away. What separates Mike from the rest: 1) The Inst...
ant Replay- The day of the wedding, he captures all footage leading from the beginning through the ceremony. The addition of the couples past pictures creates an “instant replay” of their life and day of video. Ask to see an example and you’ll understand why we went this route. Simply, the “instant replay” is an additional cost but WORTH IT. It was and still is something about our entire wedding day that people still comment on. You won’t be disappointed. 2) professionalism- mike knows his stuff and takes pride in his work. If you have a vision, he can make it happen. 3) quality- mike uses the most state of the art technology. my video in its entirety was back within 1-2 months. It was unbelievable.

Ok ok... I'm still waiting on my actual DVD... but Black Toe Video did a great job working our wedding. In less than 2 weeks we received our highlight video, and I absolutely love it! I think I've watched it about 10 plus times already. I am...
SO glad we ended up going with Black Toe Video as our videographer!

I (we) cannot say enough about Black Tie Video. Mike was extremely professional and accommodating. Unlike in the "old days, the videographer was unobtrusive and not in anyone's way. Originally, we were not thinking of a video until we saw ...
the highlights of another wedding and we were sold! The video makes you relive the event! Mike and his team are exceptionally efficient: we received the "highlights" within 2 weeks of the wedding and the final product within 2 months!

Susan, thank you again and again. that is a wonderful review! I will put it on all our Social Media.
It makes Mike feel good about all his hard work to hear our clients loved it!
My Husband and I's decision to hire a videographer was a last minute one - as in, we decided about a week or 2 before our wedding. I can honestly say this was one of the best decisions we made through our planning process. We received our full...
hour and a half video a week or so ago and we can't stop watching it and sharing it with family and friends. We went for the full, "lightly edited" film and it exceeds any expectation that I had. It seems fully edited in my option - It's amazing!! What's even better is Mike can still make us a highlight film if we decide we want one. If you're questioning whether or not to hire a videographer I suggest just doing it. Call Mike and you won't regret it! Thanks, Mike!!
Black Tie Video was amazing to work with. They were very responsive to all questions I had and made the planning process easy. The instant replay that Mike made to be played before our entrance into the reception was absolutely FABULOUS!!! T...
he guest were so impressed with how he was able to put the whole thing together in such a short amount of time and included same day video clips. People are still talking about it!! Mike is so easy to get along with and is very creative. My husband and I just watched our wedding video again and it was like we were reliving the day. Mike included all the special details and moments that happened and we can't thank him enough for all his hard work. I would highly recommend Black Tie Video!

Thank you so very much for this wonderful review on The Knot. We truly appreciate it! Happy Everafter to you both!
Darren and I got married 10/1/16, when we were first planning we decided we were not going to have a video. How quickly this decision changed when I saw a friends wedding video and highlight from Black Tie Video. Mike was so easy to work with a...
nd accommodated every thought and and idea of ours. Our videographer was Brian who captured every emotion of our perfect day.
Our final Highlight ended up being 12 minutes long and was so beautiful. They replayed the whole day in such a breathtaking way, I watch the highlight almost everyday. Such a big thank you to Mike and Brian and the whole Black Tie Video crew for doing such an amazing job and giving the gift to relive the best day of our lives over and over again.
Response from the Vendor on 01/09/2017
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. And we enjoyed working with you both.
We wish you happily ever after!

My husband and I were beyond pleased that we had black tie video record our wedding day. Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very beginning. He was quick to reply to any emails and phone calls and was very reassuring that everyt...
hing would go smoothly on the big day. I can honestly say that the day of, I did not even notice Mike and his assistant filimg yet they caught every moment that I could have asked for. Pictures only go so far. Watching this video takes us and our family and friends back to the day. The instant replay was beyond a hit with the guest and not a dry eye was found in the room before our big entrance into the reception as husband and wife. I highly recommend Mike and black tie video to any engaged couple. You will not be disappointed with your video. I absolutely love mine!!
Amazing work! I am in love with my trailer. Brian truly captured the day! Working with the Black Tie team was effortless. Highly recommend!

Thank you very much for the review, we truly appreciate it.
Happy New Year!
AMAZING! I would highly recommend the instant preview!
Black Tie Video was the best decision made! As mother of the bride it was very important to me to capture every moment of the wedding. We choose Black Tie Video because of the unique instant replay video that only Black Tie Video does. I saw...
it the first time 20 years ago at my cousin's wedding and I knew I had to hire them for my daughter's wedding. It was a huge hit with everyone!
Awesome company to work with! Mike did an unreal job with our highlight video and we cannot wait to see the final product! My husband and I would highly recommend - he was a pleasure to work with and it is clear that he not only loves his job...
, but takes great pride in the final product that he delivers to his clients.

Thank you so very much for taking the time out and doing this fabulous review. We appreciate it very much.
Happily Ever After to you!
Elizabeth and Mike
Mike was absolutely amazing on our wedding day. We did the "day of video recap" option where he does a review of the things that happened already that day and plays it at the opening of the reception. So many people have told me how much they ...
loved that. It is worth the extra money. Our final video cam out beautiful. Mike was really able to capture the emotions of the day and I couldn't be happier. I didn't cry during my wedding but I cry every time I watch the video. :) Thank you Mike!!!

There isn't even words to describe how incredibly happy my husband and I are with our wedding video. From day one Mike was one of our favorite vendors to deal with ..I knew that no matter what we had to have black tie do our wedding videography...
- I was even wiling to change my date to make sure we secured him. Our wedding was in June and our guest as still telling us how amazing our instant replay was and asking for Mikes contact information. To everyone at blacktie -thank you so much for all your help and for making our wedding day something we can enjoy forever!
Black Tie was awesome to work with. You hardly knew he was there and their work is worth every penny.
Response from the Vendor on 11/05/2019
Awesome! Thanks for trusting our team!
Mike was amazing to work with; his work speaks for itself. Even being there with a camera - we never actually felt that the camera was in our faces. He is so discrete but catches every important moment. Everyone who attended our wedding can'...
t stop talking about the instant replay video that played before we were introduced. I plan on recommending Black Tie Video to any and all friends/co-workers in the future.
Response from the Vendor on 04/25/2016
Dear Erica and Dan, thank you for reviewing Black Tie Video and Mike on the Knot. We truly appreciate it and we are so happy you loved the instant replay!
Sincerely,
Elizabeth and Mike
Video was standard, nothing special. Hard to get in contact with. Could have used another videographer and gotten the same quality but with a much lower pricetag.
Response from the Vendor on 04/02/2016
The effort of your day was put into the Instant Replay/New Years countdown played at 11:57pm. That was quite a task to pull off with 1 person playing 3 rolls camera man/editor/av guy. I also included additional coverage time at no charge. 9hr d...
ay. I'm sorry that you weren't totally happy with your final product, please let me know if there is anything we can adjust in your edit that will make it better! Best Regards, Mike
I can't even begin to say how pleased I am with Mike Callahan from Black tie. He went above and beyond for me. He did an instant replay before our if entrance as mr and mrs and it had a slide show of all our baby pictures and then went into the...
earlier part of the day getting ready to walking down the aisle. Totally amazing. I'm so happy with it. I haven't seen our 5/6 min trailer yet or the actual video of ceremony and day footage but I can't imagine if he did this in only an hour how amazing the rest I can't wait to see it. It made me so happy I choose him THANK YOU SO MUCJ MIKE
Response from the Vendor on 12/04/2015
Thank you so much for this wonderful review here on the Knot. We really appreciate it! and are so happy you enjoyed it all. He will post the create trailer as soon as it is finished!
Happy Holidays!
Elizabeth and Mike
Black Tie Video gave us memories that will last a lifetime. We are so glad we hired a videographer for our wedding. Mike did a great job. We are thrilled with the way our video came out.
Black Tie Video was the best choice we made for our wedding reception! We originally didn't think we wanted to spend the money on a videographer with our budget and having other places we wanted to put our money.. we are SO happy that we did. M...
ike was amazing to work with and the video trailer has been the most amazing thing to show our family and friends. The video of our whole ceremony is so special and really has every part of our wedding caught on camera. Mike was non-intrusive throughout the day and I am so thankful we ended up going with Black Tie Video!
Black Tie Video did a fabulous job recording and making a highlight video of our wedding. We absolutely love the highlight video they made for us; it's the perfect mix of sentimental, fun, and lively. They worked with us to understand the pla...
n for the day, catch important scenes, and then create a video that truly captures the most memorable day of our lives.
I would recommend Mike from Black Tie Video to anyone looking for a wedding videographer! Not only was the footage absolutely breathtaking, but guests barely even noticed he was there. Not once did he ever distract from the day, and the editi...
ng of the video was flawless.
Friends of guests who do not know me reached out to talk about how much they cried while watching the trailer to our video! Black Tie Video captured the emotion of our special day, and words cannot express how much I love to watch it again and again!
They are also so easy to get in touch with and went above and beyond to meet our needs. What a wonderful vendor!!!
Mike Callahan at Black Tie Video was able to capture the spirit of our entire day with one 4 minute highlight reel. His attentiveness and experience really show in the quality of his work. I am incredibly thankful to Mike for getting all the ri...
ght moments! Highly recommend!
Where to start!!! When I was looking for a videographer, I knew what I was looking for. Someone who can give me a good quality video that would capture all the little moments that I am sure I wouldn't remember. I wanted someone who could see my...
vision and turn it into a story. I also very importantly wanted someone who was willing to give me the raw footage of my day. You will be surprised to how many companies no longer do this or think people don't want it. I did, I wanted to see everything that I as a bride didn't get to.
So I found black tie who was recommended to me, I met Mike (the owner) and I can't say enough good things about him, he is the sweetest man, he was as excited about my wedding as I was and I loved that, made me feel like I could just trust him with what I thought would be the most important memory of that day. I chose to go with their "Instant Replay" in addition to my package. Mike took what I wanted and turned into this amazing 5 minute video at my reception that had everyone crying and a month later still talking about! All I did was supply him with pictures, music choices and he did the rest. Everyone, I mean EVERYONE at my reception LOVED it! So within a few days, he sent me the link to that video for me share. Then just a short 4 weeks later I got my highlight video which included the instant replay and a highlight of the entire night (about 13 minutes long) it was even more incredible, the video is absolutely amazing! We have watched it over and over again, it takes me from crying to laughing, back to crying...between the music and matching the details, capturing facial expressions, dancing moves to the words of the songs...this was the best investment from my wedding day! I still did not receive my edited 60-90 minute video, but I have no doubt at all that the video will be even more amazing! My husband and I are beyond happy with Mike's service! Did I mention that Mike shot my wedding all by himself?He did and yes... he is that amazing! He brought a helper for the instant replay only but all the shooting credits goes to Mike!
I am a very happy bride :)
Mike, the owner of Black Tie Video, was amazing to work with! When my fiance and I met with him, he was so comfortable and so accommodating. I had an idea to include clips of my 2nd grade students giving me advice into my replay video and he ...
did it! The replay video was played at my own reception with those clips, pictures of my fiance and I as babies and then older, and then even clips of us getting ready and having the ceremony!! My guests were so fascinated by the video and how he was able to include clips from that day! Black Tie Video even sent us a link to it 3 days after!! Mike worked so hard to put the video together and it was amazing! He was there to shoot every part of our special day. It truly was a fairytale. I can't wait to see our final video so I can relive it again!!!
We used mike as our wedding videographer. He was professional and very nice. He is so amazing and his work is spectacular. We can jot wait to see out video but during the ceremony and reception he was so diligent and made sure to get all the de...
tails if our wedding. Thanks mike and we will recommend you to any family and friends getting married.
We regret that we have to write this poor review having had high expectations for Black Tie Video. We contracted with BTV to provide services for a complete video of our ceremony. We gave the owner very specific instructions about what we wan...
ted including where to stand in the chapel, when to turn the groom's mike on/off, to be as non-instrusive of our guests as possible, and not to go on the altar (it is prohibited by the church and we wanted to respect the sacredness of this religious space). However, the videographer did not abide by these agreements (which we had made with the owner well in advance of the wedding).
The footage we received was high quality, yet it missed key parts of the ceremony, including the blessing of the rings, several hymns, and prayers. The videographer also walked onto the altar during our vows, disrespecting not only a sacred space but our wishes. Finally, we had asked that the videographer stand in one place, yet he moved throughout the service, including asking ONE OF OUR PARENTS to move from the aisle so he could shoot the procession.
When we received the video, it included voice feed from the groom's mike throughout the second half of the service. We explained our situation to the owner who responded with a new video without the voice feed. Because there was no complete footage of the ceremony, he was never able to provide us with a complete video, as we had contracted.
Michael from Black Tie Video was fantastic. We chose the Instant Replay which was worth the investment.
I had Brian as my videographer and he did my "instant replay" and let me tell you this was my most favorite thing from my wedding! He was so creative and just so awesome that so many people raved about the video! This is a must have!!
My sister and sister-in-law used this videographer for their weddings, and I knew I had to do the same. We had two videographers tape us getting ready, the ceremony and reception. You don't even realize that they are there. I can't wait to see ...
the final product!
This is the second time we used this videographer! Once for my sisters wedding and now for mine and they keep on impressing us! Some really creative ideas for your entrance to the wedding that will WOW your guests. Incredibly professional and e...
fficient. You can't put a price on the amazing memories they will capture for you!!!
I had Black Tie Video as my Videographer at my wedding, and the only time I even knew they were there was when my husband had a mic on him during our ceremony, don't get me wrong it was very discreet and nobody knew he was even wearing it!! I h...
ave not yet received my video because it takes up to three weeks, and my wedding was just two weeks ago. I have however reviewed their website and have seen what they have done, and the video's they make are so touching and special and almost brought me to tears watching others!! Nevermind when I get to see my own and re-live my day over and over! They do a 1st edit, and send you a work sheet to fill out with it so you can add your own special music and special touches to it for them to add or remove, and once they're done with that edit, you get a total of 4, yes 4 final edits........so you can make your family happy by giving mom and dad each a copy, which I know my father will love as I am his only daughter! The best part was they were so discreet, they were not in the way, or in your face......yet they capture all these amazing moments. I would definitely check them out if you're looking for a videographer for your special day!
Mike at Black Tie did an AMAZING job at our wedding. We selected their "Instant Replay" which was a photo slideshow followed by video clips from earlier that day - and it was a hit with our guests. HIGHLY recommended!
I LOVE our video. I thought that Mike, the videographer, did a great job capturing the event. I would definitely recommend Black Tie to any of my friends.
I was referred to mike by a friend, and i am so glad i chose him to capture my wedding day. He arrived on time and prepared! At the wedding, we had a videoshow. I can honestly say that it was such an amazing and special video--grown men were cr...
ying! I still get emails and comments from people wondering how he showed footage from my wedding cermony an hour later at my recpetion..it was unbelievable! I cannot wait to see my video! I know it will be everything I had imagined!
Black tie was very professional and organized. They were on time, and you didn't feel like they were bothering you the whole time. They got a lot of moments I missed and I am so happy I had a videographer. They are on the pricey side- but I do ...
think you get what you pay for....
