We had the best experience with toast. Gail communicated quickly and met all of our desires with flexibility. We had two videographers at our wedding who were absolutely amazing. They stayed in the background but were there for all of our big moments and if we needed anything throughout the day. My husband and I just celebrated our one year anniversary and we rewatched our highlight film, documentary edit, and raw footage which took us hours because of how much footage we received. I would definitely repurchase the whole package through toast again because of how detailed, intimate, and beautiful our videos were! We are so appreciative of everything they did for us and that we have our wedding day captured beautifully forever.
Toast was very professional and helped improve my experience during my wedding. They made all the edits that I requested in a timely fashion and produced a beautiful video for us!
Props to the Toast team for crushing our wedding video! They captured all of the key moments from all of the right angles and did a fantastic job editing the videos for us as well. Great communication and great quality for a great price, doesn't get much better than that!

Thank you so much for the kind words, Cassidy! We were so grateful that you and Adam picked us to join you for your big day. And I'm glad we were able to be great team members! Best wishes! - Charlie
We worked with them for our wedding in August 2022. The wedding video turned out so beautifully and will be something we'll enjoy forever. They were very easy to work with, and very responsive to any edits we had to the video. The videographer on the wedding day was so nice, and got beautiful shots!
Working with Toast Wedding Films was a wonderful experience! When comparing prices to other videographer companies we found that they had the best pricings and package deals. Toast Wedding Films has you fill out forms detailing how you want your wedding video to be. These forms helped reduce a lot of stress as it helped us figure out how to convey what we wanted our wedding films to be like. Throughout the whole process when it came to collaborating with the team it all went smoothly. Overall, we are happy with the final product and are glad we went with Toast Wedding Films!

Thanks for the kind words!
My partner and I were very impressed with Toast, throughout the entire wedding process. It was great that we could easily pick and choose parts of our package, and even add on up until AND after the wedding.
We had been nervous about using a national company and not meeting our videographer until the day of, but were thoroughly impressed with our videographer Jessica! Following the wedding, the editing process was very stress-less, and we are so happy with the final product!

I'm so glad you're so happy with your film! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!
We felt so lucky to have video coverage of our wedding by Toast. We were impressed by how diligent they were to make sure all our questions were answered and how responsive they were. The only reason I left off a star is because our videographer was not familiar with our survey responses on the day of (i.e. we wanted "medium" amount of slow motion coverage, etc.) However, she did a great job and we were happy we went with Toast.

Thanks so much!
Toast Wedding was wonderful to work with! From the beggining they were very professional, responsive and fun to work with. Our videographer on the day of was fun and easy to get along with and made us very comfortable.Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words!
Working with the Toast team was nothing short of amazing! From coordinating details and logistics with Charlie, to our day of videographer (Sabrina), to the video editors, it was all seamless. Everyone was extremely professional yet personable and a pleasure to work with. The process from start to finish was very well organized and we were extremely pleased with our video package! It came out really great and so much better than we had ever hoped for. When selecting a videographer, we liked the flexible package options Toast offered and ability to add a la carte services. The overall package was very affordable as compared to some other quotes we received for the same service. Unless you are planning to shoot a motion picture, go with Toast and you won’t regret it! Very very pleased and I wish I had more friends getting married in California so I can directly recommend them. Thank you for the amazing memory you created for us!

4.5/5: Editors and Toast were great to work with. Not completely satisfied with the on-site videographer but we loved the final result.

Thank you so much for leaving us an excellent review! We are thrilled that you loved your film and experience at Toast. Thanks for trusting us to capture your special day! Here's a link to the final film: https://vimeo.com/734798903
The end product was amazing. I loved the videographer that came to my wedding. He was so kind. He made all of my bridesmaids super comfortable and got along with all of the groomsmen too. He captured so many fun moments.
The only reason I did not give five stars is because Toast wedding films is made up of a conglomeration of videographers. My issue with this was that I didn't know anything about my videographer until he showed up to my wedding. This meant that I couldn't see examples of his work which made me a little nervous.
Since I got married during COVID there were some strange occurrences such as the original videographer assigned to my wedding backing out 2 weeks before. I was very stressed out because of the possibility of not having a videographer, but I was grateful for the transparency of the manager.
Again, I loved the product and overall experience. Just know that you will not know your personal videographer until just before your wedding.

I am so glad that you love your film! Our team structure is a little different, but it works for us :) Thanks for choosing us to capture your day!
Very good communication! The process of service request was easy and they send you a questionnaire a couple weeks before the big day asking exactly how/ what you want your video to look like. Out original videographer had something come up last minute and the Toast found another videographer over night!! An amazing company! We love our video!!!! Can’t wait to watch it over and over for years to come!

We loved working with Toast for our wedding video! The final product was beautiful and perfectly captured our day! We received a beautifully edited highlight video, full footage of the ceremony and highlight of the reception. Additionally, my parents ordered us all of the raw footage as our wedding gift. Toast was very easy to communicate with for both my parents and myself! They paid great attention to detail and made sure that the videos reflected the image and mood we wanted to remember. I would highly recommend Toast to other couples!

I'm so glad you love your film, and that you'd add us to your recommendation list! That means a lot :) Thanks for choosing us!
Love loved our video! I looked at so many different videographers and felt like the videos were so corny. Toast was fresh and so customizable. No issues the day of and didn’t have anything to change about the finished product. Also very fair price and easy communication!

So glad you love your video Megan! Thanks for choosing us!
We came across Toast Wedding Films on the Knot and were immediately impressed with the quality of their films. Not only was their work great but it also fit our budget so we decided to hire them for our summer wedding. Throughout the planning phase of our wedding, Zach was always available for questions and/or suggestions. Chris did an awesome job of capturing everything we wanted on the day of the wedding and we did not feel overwhelmed with the presence of the camera. After the wedding we went through a few edits and Zach was always very attentive and made sure we got what we wanted. We are very happy with the end result and would highly recommend Toast Wedding Films to other couples looking to capture their special day!
