We are so happy we were referred to Toast. They really pay attention to the details, the style of video you’re looking to capture, the music, high priority moments and work with you after to make sure it’s exactly how you wanted. They were amazing to work with and were in love with the final result! Make your wedding planning easy and stop your videographer search right now by booking with Toast.
They did a great job capturing the vibe of my wedding. Really appreciated the videographer lending his coat for outdoor shots (January wedding). Also appreciated that we were given the ability to edit, and the team actually listened and implemented the edits we gave.
Your wedding day can go by so fast and so many memories can be lost or forgotten. Thankfully, Toast managed to document our special day in a way that lets us relive only the good parts for years & years to come. As a video editor myself by trade, I can personally attest to how magnificent a job their team did for us. Their cinematographer, Benjamin, captured several different angles of our entire wedding day and their editing team put together both an impeccable highlight film that portrayed the best parts of our day in 5 minutes AND a documentary style film that we’ll revisit often. A huge thank you to Sharayah and the team at Toast for the lifelong memories they captured for us.

Thanks so much for the kind words, Andrew! Hope you and Rosina are doing well. Thanks for choosing us!
Any questions?
They were excellent and helpful and the quality of our video is beautiful!! My husband is a film maker so we were very picky about who we would have shoot our wedding but also wanted to spend a reasonable amount. Toast respected our wishes to shoot beautiful work but also not make us feel like we are in a reality tv show. They were helpful and efficient with edits. We got our video done before our wedding photos. Would recommend them to anyone getting married in the New York area. I truly don’t think you can beat their quality for the price

Thank you Anna for your wonderful review! It was my pleasure working with both of you and am so pleased that you loved your film. It's high praise to receive such glowing remarks from a fellow film maker too! All my best for a lifetime of love ...
and happiness! ~ Gail
I have to say that the experience my wife and I had with Toast was nothing short of incredible. We did both photos and video from this company and we couldn't be happier with the process and the results.
Both the photographer and videographer we had worked very well together. Each one took me through what they wanted to capture, and along with some of my own input/inspiration, they worked with me to produce some amazing photos and videos. The entire wedding party was having so much fun taking photos that we lost track of time and forgot we had an actual wedding to go to as well.
During the wedding itself, they captured a lot of good memories. A lot of videographers get people just dancing in their video. Not us and not in our video. He captured interviews, guests interacting with each other and got the general fun atmosphere that we had at our wedding.
Both the videographer and photographer were amazing to work with and couldn't recommend this company enough if any of my friends need a recommendation.

Thank you so much, Neema! I'm so glad that you had such a good experience with us throughout the process of creating your wedding films. We appreciate you! -Charlie
I have nothing but great things to say about Toast Wedding Films!
The process started out with a call with Sierra where I learned about the business, and I explained what I wanted in the film. They went over their packages and what's included. A HUGE thing to note is that this company does 2 FREE edits after the film is produced and the raw footage was a very reasonable price.
After, I was assigned a client experience manager named Charlie who took charge of the team. I received a call to meet him which I thought was incredibly professional and I could tell he and the company really cared about the end product for my husband and me. I was sent a questionnaire that asked about the venue, schedule, and what things are important to us to have in the film. We were constantly in touch and the response rate was fast.
On the wedding day, our videographer was Gizem. He was cheerful and wonderful to work with. He came in and worked with our photographer flawlessly. He instructed my husband and me where to stand, what to do, when to walk etc. I felt like I was in a movie! The experience working with him was so fun that we forgot about any wedding stresses.
We received our video a lot faster than expected. We were sent a link for sharing and a downloadable version to keep for ourselves. WOW was the video incredible. The team really took our notes into consideration when making the film. The music they added was perfect and we didn't even need a second or third take.
Thank you Toast Wedding Films for making our day so special and perfect!

Had the absolute BEST experience with Toast Wedding Films. From the moment we filled out the inquiry form, we were quickly contacted by a representative who clearly walked us through all of our options. Once we locked in our contract, our Client Experience Specialist, Gail, was an incredibly communicative, thorough and helpful in the months leading up to and after the wedding. Our videographer Milan was also a dream to work with on our wedding day and his calm demeanor was greatly appreciated on our big day.

Thank you Aly for your incredible review! I am so thrilled that you loved your experience with us. You and Mike are such a fun couple and that "fun" really shows in your film! I especially loved the music you chose as it really showcased the p...
arty aspect of your day. I wish you and Mike a happy and long life together. Thanks again for trusting us with your most special day.
Toast wedding films exceeded my expectations. Their cost is reasonable and the final product was better than what I expected! There was so much communication before my wedding day so they could make sure they captured everything I wanted and were so flexible for all my needs. I recommend them to every bride I know!!

Yeah! I'm so glad we were the right fit for you :) Thanks for choosing us!
Working with Julianna and Gezim was a pleasure. Julianna made the planning process leading up to the wedding as stress free and simple as possible. They made our vision come to life. I have worked with numerous videographers and Gezim is very talented, professional, and easy to work with. Both my wife and I were very comfortable as he made us enjoy the whole process and feel at ease. Would highly recommend Toast for anyone getting married!

Thanks so much for the kind words and shout out! :) So glad you love your film. You and Libario are so sweet together and you video is just lovely. - Julianna
I cannot recommend Toast Wedding Films enough!!! Hiring them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The team was so easy to work with and guided us through every step of the way. The team at Toast helped us to select the package that would work best for us. They even walked us through the various add-ons to select what would enhance aspects that were important to my husband and I and weed out the extras that wouldn’t be as meaningful to us. On our wedding day, the film team was so discreet and professional. They were like a fly on the wall as they captured every moment of our day. The morning of the wedding they showed up and captured footage of us getting ready with our families and bridal party before heading to the church to capture the ceremony. They walked us through every movement for those gorgeous aesthetic shots and captured many beautiful small details too. During the ceremony, the film team captured the feeling and emotion that was overwhelmingly present and they captured all of the love, happiness, and joyous energy that filled the reception. The post production team was fantastic and so patient with us. I had a very specific style of music that I wanted and they helped me find the perfect song from their never ending library of music. After receiving our first draft, it was so easy to add comments for the edits and the edits were absolutely perfect! Jaynani was so patient as she emailed back and forth with me, answering my questions and providing numerous links to new versions of our film. Every single person we interacted with at Toast was immensely talented, kind, patient, and easy to work with. Their prices were affordable and the end product was more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed of. I have recommended Toast Wedding Films to all of our friends and would hire them again in a heartbeat!

Thanks so much for the amazing review! Your kind words mean the world to us. So glad you love your film and worked with our team :) - Julianna & Jaynani
Our videographer Anthony was fun and personable but also faded into the background. The editing process was simple and allowed us to make small changes based on what we thought was important. The turn around was quicker than expected!

Thanks for the kind words!
I found Toast Wedding Films on the Knot and chose them because of their numerous positive reviews and competitive pricing. After evaluating packages, pricing and other options, it was a great fit for me and my wife. Chris was our videopgrapher and was very nice to work with. He was courteous, funny and professional. Zach and his team delivered the first cut on schedule, and we only needed to make a few sound and content edits - the first draft was very well done. It was very easy to use the online tools to communicate with Zach and mark our edits.
Our film came out very nice and we received many compliments from friends and family. We are very happy to have such a beautiful memory documented in a creative way. Thank you!
