We absolutely loved working with Toast. Our wedding videos (documentary edit and highlight film) covered everything we could have wanted. They're reasonably priced, professional, and incredible easy to work with. They give you a small business support with the appearance and professionalism of a huge corporation. Having influence on the highlight film editing was a huge plus, and they followed what we asked for down to every last detail. Great quality, easy to download and share. Not to mention our videographer himself -- he arrived on time and was very pleasant throughout the day :) Thank you, Toast! Couldn't recommend highly enough to have a nice keepsake from your wedding day that doesn't break the bank!!
We absolutely loved working with the Toast wedding films. Daniil who did our videography took the most wonderful shots, and was so patient with our 3 year old who was so interested in his equipment. 10/10 recommend.

Thank you Andrea for your wonderful review! We are so thrilled you chose us to be part of your special day. All our best for a lifetime filled with love and happiness. ~Gail
From the very first phone call, we felt confident that Toast Wedding Films was the videographer for us! The communication was always clear, they were always on time, and they always wanted to make sure we got what we wanted. David, our videographer, was awesome to work with! He had great ideas and an eye for what shot looks the best in the space we had. We got our teaser film, our highlight film, and documentary edit all on time. We are very pleased with how everything turned out and would highlight recommend Toast Wedding Films!

Any questions?
I always knew I wanted a videographer. I understood it was a big cost and we already had a photographer, but I pleaded with my husband and explained that there is nothing like also having those "moving images" to really capture great moments in the day. I am so glad we can go back and watch our wedding day whenever we want! I had a hard time deciding on a videographer. Some local small businesses were also options, but I also compared costs, and what stood out the most was the hospitality, kindness, and the offerings Toast had. My very first phone call made me feel very comfortable and excited. There was no pressure. I learned a lot about Toast and what they offer in their packages. The customer service team who helped me leading up to the wedding was great, the videographer Daniil did a great job being a "fly on the wall" to not interfere, and he captured beautiful footage. Thank you so much also to Julianna for being so accommodating and for putting up with all my emails, questions, and highlight film edit requests. Thank you to the editing team for your hard work on our footage. We are putting the final touches on our highlight film, but from what I saw already, I am extremely happy with the outcome. The videos take a while to come in (it was a couple of months), but it is worth the wait. The video editors take a great deal of effort and care in their craft.

Thank you for the kind words, Amanda! I'm so glad you liked working with our whole team. You were so great to work with and your video is amazing!! Thanks for chooisng us! <3 - Julianna
We needed a videographer for our August wedding on short notice due to our other videographer not being able to do the services at the last minute. Toast was extremely helpful and accommodating to our schedule and needs. At the end of the day, they produced an amazing teaser video and documentary. We did not know what to expect but they blew us away. We recommend them 100%.

Glad we could make it work last minute :) Your day was amazing!
Toast Wedding Films exceeded any expectations I had. I LOVE how our video came out. They made the process effortless & are so worth the money! 5 stars!!
I was really hesitant about having a wedding video done, knowing it would add a couple extra thousand to my overall budget. After a lot of consideration, I ended up committing and I am SO glad I got a wedding video done--especially with Toast Wedding Films.
I ended up liking the video even more than my photos. The video captures so much more than pictures can: the smiles, the tone of the vows, the sentimentality of the speeches. Plus, I get to feel like a movie star whenever I watch it again ;)
Toast Wedding Films THANK YOU for making a gorgeous video that our family and friends can look back on to relive the day for years & years to come.

My husband and I were so happy with our experience with Toast Wedding Films! They really did a great job capturung the special moments of our big day, as well as putting them together in a visually pleasing and sentimental short film. They were also very easy to work with and very responsive to any questions we had during the planning process. As such, we would highly recomend their services to any couple looking to document their big day!

So glad you and Douglas loved working with us! Thanks for taking the time to tell the world how much you liked us! :D
Toast Wedding Films Syracuse made our videography dreams come true! They are so great at communicating and explaining any questions thrown at them. Our videographer on the day of our wedding was very easy going and attentive and made the day go by so smoothly! I have recommended this company to others and will continue doing so!

A recommendation means everything! Thanks so much for telling others about us and for being such a great client to work with! Hope you and Travis are doing well!
Toast Wedding Films did an amazing job for my sister's wedding! They were excellent to work with, even on a very busy wedding day. The videographer was on time, professional, and captured all the important moments

Thanks for the kind words Charissa! So glad you liked working with us as your sisters wedding :)
I am so thankful I chose to work with Toast Wedding Films for my wedding! I had a hard time deciding to spend the money on a videographer but after seeing my final product I would 100% recommend choosing to work with Toast Wedding Films. They have provided me with videos that will last our lifetime of our wedding day. We worked with Tyler on the day of our wedding who was very professional and nice. He was patient and got all the shots I asked for. Toast Wedding Films also answered all my emails promptly and got my highlight video and final product back to me in a timely manner. I am so happy I made the decision to work with them!

Hi Kari, I'm so glad you love your films and that you decided to choose us for video coverage of your wedding! Happy 3-monthaversary to you and Josh!
Toast Wedding Films was great throughout the entire planning process. They paid close attention to our preferences and delivered an amazing product. Unfortunately, our videographer tested positive a day before our wedding but they were quick to find amazing substitutes. I never felt stressed with any portion of the process with Toast Films because I knew we were in good hands!

Hi Jessie, Thanks for the kind words! I'm so glad you loved your films and our whole team, even our back up team! :D
Toast was outstanding! The wedding film that was produced came out even better than I could have hoped for! Aside from the amazing end result, even from the beginning, their team was responsive, patient, beyond kind, and unequivocally professional. I knew from the start that I was working with the right team and that they were going to capture my wedding the way I wanted it to be done. I could not have asked for anyone better, and I highly recommend them to any bride in need of their services!

Absolutely wonderful to work with. Professional, timely in response, and considerate in incorporating feedback while editing. Taylor was able to capture the most important parts of our the day, while working seamlessly with our photographer. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Thanks so much for the kind words!
They were punctual, professional, and well prepared on our wedding day. The final product we received was very polished and will be a treasured memento of our wedding for many years to come. My highest recommendation.
Working with Zachary was great! He was very prompt in responding to me. Although we didn't get to meet Jason before the wedding day, he obviously did a fantastic job. He captured moments that we never got to see and so many things that made us laugh and cry! I asked Jason to get some shots around Bloomington's campus for us and he picked perfect spots. He captured all the best parts of our day. Chris, who did the editing also did amazing job. Wonderful transitions and overlapping of sound and imaging. I would highly recommend Toast Wedding Films. It is a little expensive, but everyone that has watched our video said it was the best wedding video they had ever seen. Definitely worth the cost.
