I would highly recommend Toast Wedding Films to capture your big day! They were so easy to work with! I loved that they really got to know the details of your wedding and your vision before the big day. Along with what your vision was for the highlight video. It is so awesome that they allow edits to the videos before they are finalized! From talking to others most do not offer this. I absolutely love my highlight video film. They did the perfect job of capturing the funny and fun moments of the day, but also blended it with the sentimental moments and that is exactly what I was looking for. I will cherish my videos for the rest of my life! Thank you so much!!

I hired Toast later on in my wedding planning process because I went back and forth on hiring a videographer, and I am so happy I made this decision! I communicated with Gail leading up to the wedding, and she was great! She is organized and detail oriented, which helped me a ton to make sure I thought of everything I needed to in order to have a smooth day. Our videographer was Sam, and he was great! He thought of so many great shots to get, both candids and posed. He was in the action on the dance floor getting tons of footage of the guests dancing, which I loved. The footage came out beautifully and I am so happy with it all! I highly recommend Toast Wedding Films for your wedding in Milwaukee!

Everyone we interacted with at Toast was great to work with. Very friendly and also professional. The editors followed our suggestions perfectly: capturing the feeling we wanted for our film, but also adding their film knowledge and expertise. I highly recommend booking Toast for your wedding film.

We would recommend Toast Wedding Films for anyone that is looking for a reasonably priced videographer that ensures that the wedding film you receive exceeds your expectations. As far as pricing, I would say that Toast falls in the mid-range, not the most expensive videographer out there, but also not the cheapest you can find. We found that this was the perfect solution for us. In order to be able to offer this price, I would say that Toast is a little bit less personalized. Meaning that you won’t meet your actual videographer until the day of your wedding. You complete a thorough questionnaire that details what you are looking for in your film, specific shots that you want to see in your film, your style, etc. And then you are matched with somebody that they think will execute your vision. We didn’t have any problems with this process and everything went very smoothly from our perspective! Our videographer was professional and nice to work with, and when we received our highlight film, you are able to provide any edits that you may have, so that the end result is exactly what you want. Overall, we had a great experience with Toast and I would recommend Toast to any couples looking for a wedding videographer.

y, and that we created a film that you and Colin will treasure for years to come! We do set up opportunities for you to meet your videographer over a video conference call prior to the wedding, if requested—I'm sorry if we did not communicate that very well early on! But I'm so grateful that we worked together to preserve these memories for you. Best wishes to you both! -Charlie

We are a couple that likes likes control over things, and so we were a little anxious over choosing a videographer. Unlike a photographer, the wedding video stitches together clips, sounds and music to tell your wedding story- how would this come out and would we be able to change things if we don’t like it?
Toast doesn’t have you meet your person shooting footage until the day of wedding, which was a bit nerve-wracking. However the person they sent to shoot and collect footage was excellent. He was funny, personable, and made us feel at ease. He did not conflict with photographer at all, and would ask her if she was getting the shots she needed throughout the process. He went above and beyond to ensure he collected quality sound bites of the readings (our venue A/V did not work the best for him), and as we discovered, he took real excellent shots of the whole event. He also worked with us, as we’d give an idea occasionally for a shot and he’d make it work.
Then the video. We ordered a highlight video (which are what are shown on their site) and a documentary cut, which was described as the raw footage of the event. The documentary cut was well done, highlighting significant events of the wedding day (first look, ceremony, reception entrance, and toasts during the reception). All footage was uncut, but would still transition between multiple shots to, say, collect our reactions to a joke in a toast, or catch me tear up during our vows. It was not simply a collection of clips all out of context, and we appreciated that. The first cut of the highlight video had a few elements we didn’t like in it. Their client-end video viewer used by Toast allowed us to easily put in comments on where and what we would like changed, even so far as to move entire segments around. We went back and forth on this with Toast a few times until we got a video we absolutely loved. Toast was happy to oblige our “hands-on” nature and really gave us something we will enjoy for many years to come.
Including all the editing back and forth, we were able to watch and send the final video to family about 3 months post wedding. I think our personal edit easily consumed about a month or more of that time.
All in all, I highly recommend Toast. Before making this review, I had already recommended them to other couples we are getting married soon in the area, and will continue to do so going forward.

Great experience with Toast! We had help every step of the process and we had every confidence things would be handled the way we wanted. Our videographer, Sam, was exceptional, helping us relax and ease into the day and capturing every shot we wanted. Julianna and the entire staff at Toast were a pleasure to work with. The final videos were fantastic. So many compliments on them and I know we will be watching them for many, many years. Don't hesitate to book with Toast. You will be very satisfied!

I am forever grateful for Toast! Not only were they so easy to work with, inconspicuous day of our wedding and timely with getting our video back to us, the editing process was so professional and streamlined. And the result! Truly everything we could have asked for and more. The attention to detail in our video was incredible as they took the time to pull out the best part of every speech and dance and made sure everything lined up perfectly with the music. We will treasure it forever. I can’t recommend them enough!

We had an awesome experience with Toast. I booked Toast for our wedding in 2019, when the wedding postponements of 2020 began, I was worried we would have a rescheduling nightmare, Toast made it so easy! We had no issues moving the date.
Once our wedding day came, our experience was no different. We had an awesome videographer that took time and care into making our wedding video beautiful.
When it came time to edit, again, our experience remained consistent! It took a few tries to get on the same page for our vision. But, the editors at Toast worked tirelessly to make it all come together beautifully. They really go the extra mile to make sure you are 100% satisfied and love the finished product. I cannot recommend Toast enough!

Definitely recommend Toast Wedding Films! Jesse did an amazing job at our wedding and reception! Everything was so smooth, and he made us feel comfortable throughout the entire day. Even more importantly, the wedding film perfectly captured all the joy and love on our big day! My husband was hesitant at first to have a videographer due to the cost, but after seeing our film, he was genuinely impressed.

Toast Wedding Films is just lovely! They are pretty affordable compared to other options and they make beautiful videos that are tailored to what you want. They were really great to work with throughout the whole wedding process and on our wedding day, our videographer was like a fly on the wall. He filmed details that I will look back on for years to come. Thank you for capturing our day with such intention and love!

We had a fantastic experience using Toast Wedding Films for our wedding video. My wife and I decided last minute (4pm the night before our wedding) that we wanted to hire a videographer. The folks at Toast were extremely responsive and easy to work with which was a relief given the pseudo-hectic state we were in the night before our wedding.
Our experience the day of our wedding was very positive. Our videographer showed up on time, was very polite, was professional and was respectful of our time. After the wedding they were extremely patient with us through the editing process.
We were blown away by the finished product. They so perfectly captured not only the essence of our wedding but also the essence of our relationship. When we share the video with folks who weren't at the wedding, they always remark that they feel as if they were there.
I am so happy that we made the last minute call to hire a videographer and I am thankful we ended up going with Toast!

We just received our wedding day short film video back from Toast Wedding Films and we could not be happier with how it turned out! We found them through a mutual friend who also used them. We decided they would be worth the money because all other wedding video vendors we looked at just didn't compare. We definitely got our money worth!! We are so pleased with their work and to have this lasting memory of our entire wedding day!
