I cannot even begin to thank Gail or Flynn at Toast. We had originally planned a destination wedding in Florida. All the sudden I fell ill. We kept thinking that I would get better, but I just didn’t and no doctor could diagnose me. We were devastated but we had to cancel our wedding. Then we decided screw it! Let’s get married in our backyard. I contacted Gail and in short notice she made magic happen! In a time were nothing was simple we were so incredibly thankful for her patience, her empathy, and her quick responses. Thanks to Gail and Flynn we have the most beautiful videos to look back on our magical day. If I could hug them both I would!!!

I had an amazing time with toastweddings for my wedding on november 8th! they were extremely diligent, understanding, and quick to respond. the videos and pictures they captured were emailed to me the day after the wedding and it was a god send to not have to wait months for footage and have immediate footage to use. i would highly recommend anyone looking for content creators to hire toastweddings!

I HIGHLY recommend Toast and having a content creator - if you are on the fence, it is so worth it. We are SO happy we chose to have a Toast content creator to help capture our wedding! It took the stress off of the bridal party to capture all of the moments, so everyone could enjoy the day! We already had hired a photographer and videographer, but we knew we didn't want to wait weeks to see our photos. For context, neither my wife or I are big "social media people" - we are elder millennials who post occasionally on Instagram (her more than me) and we watch TikToks but never create them. Michael, our “content creator,” showed up at our scheduled time and after a quick introduction, he got right to work capturing our venue. Throughout the entire night, Michael was taking videos and pictures, but you never would have known he was there (in the best way possible!). Toast says that you will have all the raw footage within 24 hours and they were right. Holy crap. When we got the updated link, we were taken to the Drive with all of the footage Michael had got, and a 1 minute highlight reel as well. My wife and I were able to relive our wedding day by going through the pictures and seeing all of the special moments we weren’t able to witness. It was so special to us and when we watched the reel he had made, it brought more tears to (my wife's) eyes. We loved being able to post the reel to social media, so our friends and family who were not able to attend could see the day. A quick one minute video was just enough to share the beauty of the day, without scrolling through picture after picture. It was so beautiful and amazing getting to watch our highlights. Thank you Michael and thank you Toast.

We chose Toast Weddings as our videographer and they did not disappoint! I saw them voted as "Best of Weddings" the past few years, now I can see why. The quality of their videos, the crisp transitions along with sound is phenomenal, and their pricing is competitive. I searched through so many videographers and nothing caught my eye. It was either really cheesy or the quality wasn't that great. Sierra and Julianna at Toast Weddings were great at communicating and answering any questions I had. They have you fill out a detailed questionnaire about you & your partner, the event, and regarding what you want in your video. I opted for the emotional feel and they delivered. Marcin was our videographer and he was with us for 10 hours (what a trooper). He was very professional and did such an amazing job capturing sentimental moments. We cannot thank you guys enough for being a part of our special day and giving us content that we can keep forever.

Gail and our videographer (Jennifer) were wonderful to work with. They were very professional and communicative. We are also very happy with our highlight video. The team listened to our feedback and made edits exactly based on what we wanted. Thank you!

We had a great time working with Toast for our highlight wedding video! Communication was always prompt with Gail and she worked hard to deliver a great final product. Our videographer on the day of our wedding Jennifer was fantastic. Happy with the overall product.

Toast did an incredible job at our wedding and we couldn’t be more happy with the documentary and reel that we received. They were very communicative and worked with us to get the perfect footage of our day!

Our entire experience with Toast Wedding Films was incredible. They were extremely thorough and made every effort to make our wedding film absolutely perfect. The entire team was professional, reasonably priced, and hard working. One of the best wedding vendors I used on our wedding day! Thank you again for creating a beautiful video that we can cherish forever.

We had a great experience with Toast Wedding Films at our early 2022 wedding. We almost didn't hire a videographer, and are so glad we did. The initial consultation/planning process was very informative, professional, and straightforward. Appreciated that we were able to pay online - great tech interface with this company vs. other antiquated wedding vendors. Customer service was much better than other vendors we worked with as well - the team was generally quickly responsive via email to our questions and requests. Our videographer was wonderful - he brought great energy to the day, and the shots he captured are a testament to that! He was able to blend into the event seamlessly. We really like the final product - purchased both long and short films. The editing process of making small changes was a bit slow/choppy - some miscommunications, but we mostly got there - we were somewhat limited with the music/footage we wanted to use - not sure if that was just a reflection of the package we selected. We felt Toast, while not inexpensive, was reasonably priced relative to other videographers we considered. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Saul was our videographer for the event. Very easy-going. Very professional. Fun! And personable. I'm looking forward to seeing the final product but confident it's going to be great. Thanks for setting everything up Toast Wedding Films.

I knew that I wanted our special day filmed from the very beginning, but being the picky bride that I am I knew the vision I had, and I wanted it to be perfect! Toast did just that. I did my research on a lot of different Videographers in the KC area, and for the quality and price, Toast was by far the best. They listened to exactly what we wanted, and made it even better than we had imagined! Tim was great, he made the process so painless-he really was like a fly on the wall for the entire day, and we all had so much fun. Thank you Tim for giving us these memories to watch and cherish forever!

Zach was easy to work with throughout the whole process from initial meeting to reviewing the footage after the wedding. Daniel was our videograher for our wedding day. He also super easy to work with. The wedding video was excellent and he was willing to do minor modifications. The footage from the entire day was given to us hassle free and split up into manageable chunks for ease of use.
