Toast was absolutely incredible. They listened to our vision and spent a lot of time making sure they knew what we were looking to get out of our videography. We opted for the social media reel, an 8 minute video, and an hour video and we are so glad we have all the footage from our day. It was a whirlwind so getting to watch the key moments back is the greatest thing. They are incredibly professional, and we could not recommend them more!

Scheduling with Toast was very easy and I appreciated the video preferences they inquired about. They also provided open discussion on package/ cost options. We were able to go on their website and watch previous videos and see what styles and features we’d want for ourselves. Our videographer was very kind and did a great job capturing our day, without having to pull our time and focus away from our guests and activities! The videos were received in the expected time frame (about 2 months) and the initial edit requests were completed quickly and effectively! Very great customer services and it was a breeze to get in touch with Julianna, as needed. Definitely recommend!

From the initial consultation to the final video delivery, the communication with our Toast was exceptional. They addressed any questions, providing a sense of reliability that eased the wedding planning process. On the day of event, Trevor showed up and perfectly captured our day. It even rained during our ceremony, but didn’t cause any issues for video. After, we worked with Gail to help craft our story. She was so easy to work with and responsive to any changes and edits we had. We felt truly cared for. The end result exceeded our expectations. Our video beautifully encapsulated the essence of our wedding day and told the perfect story. We are grateful for the skill and dedication of Toast! If you're seeking a professional who not only delivers outstanding work but also makes the entire process enjoyable, this is the way to go.

Toast was great! We had two videographers for our wedding, and they did an amazing job. We couldn't wait to get our films, and they sent them exactly when they promised. We've watched them a thousand times already. Couldn't be happier.

Toast was by far the easiest vendor we worked with. Everything was extremely streamlined and organized. The videographer did an absolute top notch job! My husband and I truly believe that it was so worth the investment and honestly like our video even more than our photographs!

If you need a wedding videographer, please consider Toast Wedding Films! They did such an AMAZING job capturing our best day ever!! They always answered my questions promptly and were very kind during wedding planning. The day of our wedding, our videographer was punctual, professional, respectful, and flexible. He did such a beautiful job catching each moment! I am still in awe of how remarkable our wedding video is and have received so many compliments! You will not be disappointed for choosing Toast Wedding Films.
