We couldn't be happier with our wedding video! From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. They captured all the big moments, and so many small, meaningful details. The final video was beautifully edited, emotional without being overdone, and truly felt like us. Watching it brings us right back to our wedding day every time. We're so grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding video they'll treasure forever.

Toast Wedding Films is highly recommended for wedding videography.

m, and most importantly, attentive to our vision. Toast was exceptional in every way. They worked closely with us to understand exactly what we wanted from our wedding film, and they delivered beyond our expectations. Their ability to capture not only the big moments but also the subtle, emotional ones was truly impressive. Watching our wedding film felt like reliving the day, and it brought tears to both of our eyes (and that’s saying a lot for me!). Communication was seamless throughout the entire process. They kept us informed, asked all the right questions, and made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day. Their team blended in perfectly, capturing every detail without being intrusive. Toast’s professionalism and talent shined through in every frame of the final product. The film truly felt like us—our personalities, our love story, and the joy of that special day were all beautifully encapsulated. If you’re looking for a wedding film vendor who will go above and beyond, Toast is the one. They made our memories timeless, and we are so grateful for their incredible work. Highly recommend!

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!!

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.

t 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.

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.
