We had a positive experience working with Toast and our videographer Adrean. Adrean did a great job coordinating the wedding day with our photographers and making sure he got the shot without interrupting the flow. He did a great job of letting us stay present during our ceremony and reception.

We highly recommend booking Toast for your own wedding!

I specifically chose Toast because I wanted both photography and videography from one company, as I had some family who couldn’t make it, and they had both services for one of the ...
best prices I could find. Before the day they have helpful resources on hand so that way you know what specific pictures you want, even if you don’t know much about wedding photography. The photographer and videographer who were there for my big day were great, really knew what they were doing and were willing to go along with my wacky ideas (like taking pictures outside in the snow).

horoughly, and made everything stress free. The camera guy on site was fantastic - stayed in the background and I never felt like I was even being filmed! Then the final videos were phenomenal. If you're looking for a company who will work with you to get the exact vision you have for your wedding videos, you must work with them. They had me fill out a detailed questionnaire that helped guide me to find the romantic video style I wanted. Definitely recommend!

A lot of brides have a hard time deciding if a wedding film is worth the money. For me, it was something I always dreamed of and BOY am I glad I went for it and that I found Toast....
They are very reasonably priced and have a lot of different package options so you only pay for what you want. Toast was really great to work with, from the initial stage of gathering information and pricing everything out through receiving of the final product. They worked with me on what was most important to us as a couple and about our day. They even work with you on compiling the final film, allowing you to make comments and edits so that you get a final product that's exactly how you want it. Toast perfectly captured the essence of our big day and I will cherish those films for a lifetime, loving being able to relive those beautiful moments. Thank you!

I cannot speak more highly of Toast Wedding Films!!!! Planning a wedding over the last 5 months has been nothing short of a nightmare. The saving grace throughout it all has been T...
oast Wedding Films. They have been accommodating (by changing locations, dates, and then locations again with 2 weeks of the new date!) and positive the entire time! Any vendor could have EASILY been annoyed, charged us more, or been flat out rude about these inconvenient changes. NOT TOAST WEDDING FILMS THOUGH!!!! They always got back to me within HOURS and were willing to work with us. PLUS, the videographer, Chris, that came to work with us the day of our wedding was so incredibly wonderful! We had multiple guests tell us how nice and personable he was AS WELL as how busy he was all day long. For instance, I saw him taking footage of the rolled silverware and my husband saw him taking footage of the entrance doors of the reception. They paid attention to every detail and did not miss a single aspect of our day - aspects that we, ourselves, probably did not even notice that day but will be SO HAPPY to look back on. If you are for even a second thinking about getting a videographer, GO WITH TOAST WEDDING FILMS! You will not be disappointed - honestly, you'll look forward to each interaction with them! We just got married on Saturday and are nowhere near even getting our final product yet but still THIS IS how lovely it has been to work with them!!
