Toast was an excellent photography service. We were matched with Sara, and after our planning call, we knew we were in great hands. She was so professional and easy going and adapted to the schedule as the day went along. She was kind and on top of the important moments and non obtrusive during the candid times. She was excellent and very seasoned in wedding photography and directing the group, and we highly recommend using Sara from Toast. The process was easy getting started and the administrative team was very helpful too! Thanks for a great wedding photographer, Toast!

Toast Weddings truly exceeded every expectation. Their video team captured our wedding day so beautifully, creating a stunning long-form documentary that lets us relive every meaningful moment. They worked one-on-one with me to craft the perfect highlight video, making sure it reflected our story and the emotions of the day. Every time we watch it, we’re reminded of the best day of our lives. Forever grateful for their talent, care, and dedication.

We had a great experience working with Toast Wedding Films. Our coordinator was very helpful in explaining the process to us and answering our questions in a timely manner. Day o...

f the wedding, our videographer, Logan, was very nice and did not get in the way of our photographer which we greatly appreciated. He took a fly-on-the-wall approach and just captured moments as they happened without having to stage anything. We appreciated Toast really taking into consideration what kind of video style we were after. We felt like we had ample say in how our final video turned out and it's great that they provide a couple rounds of video edits to craft the perfect finished product. Price wise, Toast is expensive but their rates are comparable to any other quality videographer. You get what you pay for in the video industry and Toast delivered a beautiful recap video of our special day so it was worth every penny. Our package also included a long-form documentary edit of the wedding day so we could see special moments like first looks, the service, toasts and dances in their entirety. Not every videography company does this so definitely a big plus. One thing to mention, Toast employs a network of videographers that sometimes need to travel to film your wedding. If this happens, there's a travel fee added to your invoice. Originally, we were told that our videographer had to travel 2 hours to get to our venue so the travel fee was added. The day of the wedding, I learned that our videographer was actually local. It seemed like an honest miscommunication and our coordinator was quick to remove the travel fee from our invoice. All that to say, never hurts to ask and double check.

I discovered Toast Wedding Films after viewing a friend of mine's wedding video. I absolutely adored their cinematic and creative wedding videos and had to book them for my wedding...

in September. Toast was phenomenal on the customer service side and the videography side of business. I initially booked them for a September 2021 date, then, because of the pandemic, I had to reschedule. They were nothing but kind and accommodating and quickly worked with me to reschedule their services. They kept in touch as we got closer to the new date, and made sure I had a comprehensive list of must-haves as far as coverage and style of videos! James Liu, my videographer, was absolutely delightful. He had such a wonderful attitude all day throughout my wedding, making sure my husband and I were smiling and having a great time as he captured some absolutely beautiful cinematic shots. We got our wedding videos back within two months of our date -- which floored us -- and both the 5 minute highlight film and the documentary edit of our wedding day were so beautifully and masterfully filmed and edited. We couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous way to remember this incredibly special day. I highly recommend Toast Wedding Films for anyone looking for an amazing wedding film experience!
