Toast shot our daughter Nicole’s wedding and did an unbelievable job! We truly enjoyed having Samuel there on the wedding day. He was so kind, professional, and clearly cared about...
capturing every important moment. He went above and beyond to make sure nothing was missed and put so much thought into creating the perfect video. The final wedding film turned out absolutely beautiful and is something we will treasure forever. Toast was also incredibly easy to work with, making the entire planning process smooth and stress free. Highly recommend!

The entire Toast Weddings team was professional from the very first call to the final delivery of our video. They made sure to capture everything that we wanted in such a nice, creative and clean way.
The final products turned out amazing. We love our highlight reel and longer form video. The quality is great from footage and audio.
Thanks Toast Weddings Team!

The videographer who came to the wedding was so kind and funny and down to earth, the whole wedding party remembered him, made everything flow perfectly and caught so many moments ...
that I would have never even thought of! The video was beyond perfect and this company is outstanding! HIGHLY RECOMMED
The staff and team at Toast are lovely and wonderful to work with. We came across them through a wedding they had shot at our venue with a previous couple. They were more budget fr...
iendly as compared to other videographers in the industry and those who had shot at our venue.
We want with one videographer, which seemed to work okay for previous couples and allowed us to remain more within our budget. On wedding day, the videographer Toast sent (Chris) was kind and very low maintenance. He handled all of his equipment, worked with our photographer to capture his shots alongside her, and blended in with the wedding in a seamless way. We really appreciated this as the day can quickly split your attention in different ways and we also just wanted to take in all the joys of our wedding without having to worry or feel pulled in many different directions.
Constructive Feedback and Reservations:
- What meant a lot to us and what we communicated to Toast was the importance of our first dance. For context, our DJ made a song mash up and one of our students helped choreograph our first dance. The dance was a total hit at the wedding and got everyone super jazzed! We wanted this well captured but what we received in video form weeks later was a true disappointment. The video was captured distantly from our backside and it looked as though someone captured it with their home security camera. And this was the only angle and only shot it was taken from. The one thing we reiterated and it just felt like the entire ball was dropped on this. Our photographer captured great photos of the dance, but again, what we really wanted the videographer for, they really dropped the ball on.
- Poor angle and little movement was a recurring theme. Once our videographer picked a spot, they wouldn’t move from it. In our ceremony, when our wedding party and we, the bridge and groom, processed out, the entire video was just again captured from one spot covering mainly our backside. There was little to no movement. We hate to write this but it just felt a bit lazy and ill planned. Knowing what we know now, we certainly would have selected more than 1 videographer for our wedding day, as that may have addressed some of these concerns.
- The first cropped video of our wedding day that we received from Toast felt pretty low effort and not great. The editing, scene switching, and anecdotes selected from the speeches felt as though little thought was put into it. For example, at one point, the speech they included cut off at a point where a groomsmen was saying of the bride, “you bring out the best in him… and the worst”. The speech had a lot of content and that just felt like a poor snippet to pick. HOWEVER, Toast was more than willing to incorporate edits. Granted, it took all of the rounds they offered to get it fully to what we found as acceptable (I promise we are not super high maintenance or have insane standards, the starting product we received was just a bit disappointing especially given the prices we are paying). We really appreciated their kindness and support here as well. They literally allowed us to look at their entire music collection so we could pick the songs we liked for the video.
Overall, we understood that going with a more budget friendly videography company wouldn’t necessarily equate to getting the highest quality product per se. But again, missing out on the pieces of the wedding that meant the most to us was unfortunate. However, the Toast is very nice, really accommodating, and easy to work with. They will go above and beyond to support you as a customer as best as they can. Just be mindful of how many shooters you go with (more would be better), consider coaching where they should be and what they should capture (actively coaching), and recognize that it is more affordable than other companies which is a huge plus as well.

We can’t say enough great things about Toast Films! From the initial call, to our wedding day and final film delivery, the entire team was courteous, informative and kind.
Gezim, ...
our videographer, was especially amazing day-of. Not only did he listen and see our vision, but he shared feedback and direction in real-time which was great for a somewhat camera shy couple.
Gail was also amazing and delivered exceptional customer service throughout the process. If you’re still debating, Toast Films is it!
At first glance, they're a pretty standard wedding videographer company, but working with them, both our day of videographer and the support staff, made everything so easy and stre...

Very affordable and highly recommend. We almost skipped having a videographer and now I'm so glad we instead chose to use Toast.
We loved working with Toast Wedding Films. In comparison to other videographers, I felt the price was fantastic for what you get. Leading up to the day, it was very easy to communi...
cate with Julianna and then Sharayah. They quickly answered any questions I had. They also sent out a questionnaire beforehand to get an idea of what we envisioned for our wedding day. Our videographer, Gezim, was great to work with for the day. He had never met our photographer before, and they were still able to collaborate wonderfully throughout the day. They collaborated so effortlessly that everyone thought they came as a team. Gezim got so many great shots of important moments that we will now get to relive forever!!
We love the way our wedding film came out. We got a highlight film as well as a documentary-style edit with major moments. Toast gave us the option to make edits to our highlight which was so great. We barely made any though because it was practically perfect the first time- we just wanted to change the opening song and Julianna sent us a wide array of songs we can choose from to do so.
Toast has been a breeze to work with. It is clear their team knows what they are doing and does it well. We cannot recommend them enough!
We did this LAST minute because we didn’t think videography was necessary but we are so happy we decided to do it. They had great reviews on The Knot and after our chat with Sierra...
and Sharayah we felt they were the way to go. They made the process easy with questionnaires for your preferences. Gezim was our videographer and they made sure everything we asked for was captured. Overall, great experience!

e the services we received were always a 10 out of 10. If we had to do it all over again I would pick this company each time. The packages they have to offer are perfect and customizable. I recommend purchasing the unedited video to assist with editing your final video (you will get to edit and make suggestions throughout the process-assuring you have every special moment in the video). Thank you for your patience, support, and ability to comfort us with the BEST SERVICE TWO BRIDES could ask for.

work with. My mother passed away right before our wedding, I had an idea to include her voice in the wedding video and they did it perfectly! Better than I could have even imagined! It flows so well and makes me cry every time I hear it! They are such artists and have a talent to see the beauty in each moment that your wedding day creates! If you are looking for a video company, STOP! THEY ARE THE PERFECT team to complete your video! They are talented, knowledgeable, fun, kind and overall such a blessing! I cannot say enough about this dynamic duo! Thank you to Toast Wedding Films I have a piece of our big day that I will cherish forever.
