We used Toast for our wedding/engagement photography and videography and are very happy with everything we received. Their communication beforehand was great and they were very pleasant on site!

My sister worked with Toast for her wedding and we were lucky to get to work with them again for ours for videography. The whole team did a great job and accommodated requests before, during, and after the big day. Thank you Toast team for capturing and curating moments from the day in such a beautiful way!

asant on site!

Had a fine experience with the photographer provided. Their customer service is so slow and if you want your pictures sooner than 2 months later I would go with someone else. There...

are other photographers in similar price ranges that deliver much better. I also did not have a choice for artistic preference on photographers. I got a random one that I had never seen pictures from. If you’re spending this much money on a photographer you should have more say in the style you prefer for your photos (moody, bright, earthy, etc).

Any questions?

Toast Wedding Films provided us with beautiful wedding footage that we will absolutely cherish for years to come! Truthfully, we were considering not hiring a videographer due to t...

he potential expense and also already having a photographer. However, I can without a doubt say we would have regretted this decision and are so grateful to have found Toast. We felt extremely supported by the Toast team throughout our time working with them. Jonathan, our videographer, was very professional and had such a creative eye for shots that captured our love and the magic of the day. Even before the wedding, he helped us to find a package to our liking while also remaining within our budget. There are so many ways to customize your services, and we even ended up adding a few additional items in the leadup to the wedding. Julianna made that process a breeze and always promptly assisted us during this time and afterwards during edits. Speaking of edits, the films themselves are absolutely gorgeous and didn't need any changes. Watching our highlight reel still brings tears to my eyes, and I want to show it to everyone I know! It was extremely well-crafted; it struck the perfect balance of light-hearted vs. sentimental, music vs. ceremony/speeches audio, footage of us as a couple vs. our loved ones, and it seamlessly incorporated all of the most important moments from our day. We also opted to get the Documentary Film complete with our ceremony, speeches, dances, and cake cutting. We had initially thought about purchasing the raw footage, which Toast does have as an option, but the Documentary Film was perfect for us. We were able to watch it for the first time with our family and relive the day all over again, and we plan to come back to it regularly in the future. If you find yourself on the fence about getting a videographer like we were, I highly suggest that you hire Toast Wedding Films - you will be in wonderful hands and will be so happy that you did!

ht the highlights without being too obvious about it. He was kind, professional, and had good insight on how to do things. Irene and Sharayah were the ones coordinating the calendar, edits, and file sharing. They were both helpful and knowledgeable. Sharayah was especially gracious in the editing and review stage of things. I was really pleased with the quality of the films they sent and the timelines for turnaround were quick. For the price and what they deliver, I don’t think you’d find anyone with better value. Highly recommend hiring this team. They really captured the spirit of the day and we are so thankful we have have video from the wedding. It all goes by so fast, it’s really nice reflect back and savor the memories

Their prices are honestly the icing on the cake. Thank you Toast for our beautiful wedding video!!

Having a videographer was one of my top priorities for my wedding, and I looked at several when I first started planning. I found Toast through a Google search, and I fell in love ...

with their videos. They were beautifully and professionally shot, and they pieced together beautiful stories that brought tears to my eyes. They were exactly what I was looking for, and they did not disappoint for my own wedding. The moments that they captured and the way they put them together are stunning. My husband and I have watched it over and over. It completely lets us relive that day and lets us see other special little parts that we missed, and that's exactly what we wanted. Other than having a beautiful product from our wedding, the team at Toast is fabulous. They were very easy to work with, had great communication, and delivered our video very quickly after wedding. Our videographer for our day was professional, didn't interfere at any point through the day, and blended well throughout. He made everyone involved in the wedding party very comfortable and didn't distract from any of our special moments at all. It was all very effortless. Overall, I couldn't be happier that we chose Toast Wedding Films for our wedding day. We have a gorgeous video that we will enjoy for years and years to come!
