Hiring VIP Video Productions was the easiest decision we made while planning our wedding. Contacting Darren was always quick and easy. He answered ALL of our questions and really worked with us to make sure our experience was stress free. The video is THE MOST AMAZING THING I have ever seen. I could have never imagined it coming out as perfect as it did. It is like an actual movie!!! We watch our video all the time and our friends and family are STILL talking about the video and how they have NEVER seen anything like it. Our wedding was almost 9 months ago! :) So, no need to even shop around. You won’t find anything like the masterpiece that Darren will create for you at such a great price. If you’re thinking about going WITHOUT a videographer on your wedding day, THINK AGAIN. Choose VIP.
Darren was the best! He was so helpful and easy to work with! He went over all important details of our wedding ahead of time. Darren captured every part of our special day, even some things we didn’t know happened during our wedding! We had a large bridal party (30 people) and VIP Wedding Films made managing our group look easy. We are so thankful that Darren and his staff were able to provide us with amazing videos and memories from our special day!
Darren was so great and easy to work with! He is responsive and professional and loves his work. He offers flexible packages to fit all budgets. We absolutely love our wedding video !
Cannot recommend VIP Video enough for your big day! Darren is awesome. His customer service throughout the entire wedding planning process was impeccable - he answered all of my questions promptly and made suggestions of things we didn’t consider. He’s funny, kind, and professional and has a way of putting you at ease. His work is STUNNING - it’s like you are watching a movie. To have the video of such an important day is priceless, and the way Darren puts it altogether is top notch. You won’t regret choosing VIP. Thank you, Darren and team!
I was originally indecisive about doing a video but after seeing several of my friends use Darren and VIP video, I was sold, and I’m SO happy with my decision. I watch my video all the time and it’s a great way to sit down with my husband and relive our perfect day! Darren and his team was fabulous from the start. He’s very knowledgeable about the entire process and made sure the entire filming ran smoothly from start to finish. Darren arrived early at my house; with his assistant at my husbands. they filmed us getting ready, at church, and then throughout most of the reception. My video perfectly captures the entire day. You can’t go wrong with VIP video!
VIP video productions was the favorite part of my wedding planning. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. I have a lot of friends getting married that ask me, “should I do a video? I’m spending so much money on pictures already that should be enough.” NO. if you feel you’re in this similar predicament I HIGHLY suggest getting a video. Pictures can’t remind you of your vows or your speeches or entrances or seeing loved ones interact. And not just any video, if it’s not VIP you’re going to be missing something. Darren’s videos are the best, more like a movie than anything. I’ve watched it a million times already and I couldn’t be happier. My parents are also so happy with it! It took less than a year to get video back and around 8 months for trailer and was all so worth it to have this amazing video for years to come. Darren I can’t thank you enough!
First, I have to say that we LOVE our wedding trailer! It's a perfect short narrative of our day and it really captured the beauty and fun of our day. The trailer is a perfect way to share your memory with family and friends who don't want to see an hour wedding video. But also included in the package is a longer version and clips of all the memorable moments, which is just what we wanted to remember all those longer parts of our wedding day. Great price, easy to work with, a little long turnaround time in getting the dvd's, but worth the wait for sure!
I will start this review by saying I am usually a difficult person to please. I am particular, and expect exactly what I want. I can honestly say I couldn't be happier with choosing VIP Video as my videographer vendor. I dealt with Darren, the owner, in all aspects of the service. He is extremely professional, friendly, attentive, and understands what we were looking for without needing meet or communicate multiple times. Planning our wedding was extremely hectic, and it was delightful to deal with Darren; he made his services something I didn't need to worry about. During the wedding itself, we hardly even noticed he was there. He was very professional and involved, but never got in the way. The video itself was done wonderfully, the angles, the cuts, I truly couldn't happier with the final product. My wife cried while watching the video to the same extent she did on our wedding day; that speaks for itself that the final product made us feel like it was our wedding day all over again. I HIGHLY recommend Darren and VIP Video; I am extremely glad I chose them to be my videographer on our big day.
Darren and his team did an amazing job! He was great to work with, and he captured our wedding memories perfectly. Both my husband and I are in love with our teaser video and were extremely impressed with the quality of Darren's work. I would recommend Darren to any newly engaged brides in the Philly area looking to have beautiful memories of their event for a reasonable price!!!
Darren and his team were amazing to work with. easy to get in contact with and so much fun to work with the day of the wedding!
My videographer was awesome. He started early and stayed late. He was creative and outgoing which is what I love. I didn't need to give him ideas he obviously knew what to do and made the experience fun!
Sean and Darren were amazing! I have not seen the video yet, but I should be getting it by the end of the month. They were very professional and were very easy to get a long with! They worked well with my photographer (who I didn't really care for in the end) And they worked with what I wanted to do and before they left they asked me if there was anything else that I wanted before they left. My only complaint is that it has taken almost 6 months to get my video, but I also understand it takes a lot of time and energy to edit the film I'm just getting impatient and anxious. I also liked that you only have to put down a 25% deposit and do not have to pay off the balance until you receive the balance which helps during all the chaos of planning a wedding to be able to save up the rest in a six month period.
I would highly recommend VIP Video they were overall my favorite vendors that I hired to make my day special!
My husband and I got married in June of 2012, and were lucky enough to have Darren and his team capture our special day. From our initial meeting, Darren did his best to create the video that would best represent us as a couple and capture all the moments most important to us. On the day of, the crew worked in a very efficient and professional manner. Not only did they accommodate any of our additional requests, but they also worked well with our other vendors.
The final product was well worth the wait. We've watched it dozens of times with friends and family over the past year, and each time it manages to evoke the same emotions and memories. We would highly recommend VIP Video to any couple looking to get the ultimate wedding keepsake.
The first time I saw their work, I was impressed right away. I attended a number of bridal shows to check out other videographers but I keep going back to my first choice which is the VIP video. When we met with Darren to discuss the details of our wedding, we saw some of Darren's work and we really liked it very much because of the clear picture and the style of his work.
We got married on 8/3/2013. They showed up on time, very professional and easy to communicate with. Unlike other videographers I've seen at weddings who are sometimes a distraction... these guys were great... everything went very smoothly.
When I initially received our wedding video trailer online, I posted it right away on my facebook page. I received a number of likes and wonderful comments from my family, relatives and friends.. "what an amazing video", "nice highlights of your wedding", "beautiful presentation", etc. Of course, I watched it over and over again and can't wait to see our DVD ....and I know it will be even better than the wedding video trailer. We then received the final DVD/Blue Ray...Darren did a great job and beautifully captured our wedding... very classy.... I highly recommend the VIP Video and will definitely hire them again for another special event in the future....
My daughter's wedding was at the Bonnet Island Estate in Manahawkin, N.J. on July 4, 2013. Darren and his team did an amazing job of creatively capturing every moment of this special day. They were with us from the early morning at the salon until the band played the very last song, and didn't miss a thing. The Same-Day edit was so touching, and beautiful that it brought a tear to our eyes as we watched it for the first time. Of course, we've done nothing but watch it ever since, (and we've forwarded it to anyone we can think of who would like to share in the joy of our event). Darren is clearly a hard-worker, but also really easy to work with. Our experience with VIP Video has been a complete pleasure, and we would recommend them HIGHLY if you are looking forward to having a wonderful memory of your event!
VIP Video was simply amazing. Darren and Sean captured every aspect of our special day from preparation to the ending dance. They were professional but fun and friendly as well. VIP was not intrusive, and just seemed to blend in with the guests, which is great! VIP not only provided a great quality video but they worked with us and our budget. I would recommended VIP Video to any for their wedding.
Darren and Shawn from VIP Video were awesome to work with. Their passion for what they do was evident and because of that we know our video is going to be amazing.
On a day that can potentially be filled with so much stress, and so many different moving parts, it was beyond comforting to know that we had a trustworthy and extremely professional videographer in Darren.
In our preliminary discussions we specified that we didn't want to do anything "rehearsed" or "staged" and that we just wanted our wedding captured as it was. That is exactly what we got, a beautifully captured event without any hint of intrusiveness or a bright light in the face.
Darren was there early with a friendly smile on his face ready to go. He had inquired with us about what parts of the evening were most important to us and paid extra attention to capturing them.
Overall the experience was fantastic. In a night that passes you by so quickly, we were both so happy to know that we had someone so good at what they do and so caring of what we wanted there to document it all. We couldn't be happier.
We were turned on to VIP through our friends who used them for their wedding. We were immediately drawn to the time and attention to detail Darren and Shawn showed us. They're package options are both flexible and affordable. They answered every question we came up with and took a great amount of time to help us plan the day we wanted. Their work is top quality and very professional. These guys are great and will not disappoint in any way. They worked wonderfully with our other vendors and complimented our photographer very nicely.
I gladly recommend VIP Video. They were truly a pleasure to work with, were nigh invisible during the ceremony/reception, as well as being some of the friendliest and most professional vendors we had throughout the wedding process.
Having just enough knowledge of post production and photography to be annoying/dangerous, I was a little weary of many of the vendors I was meeting and approached the initial meeting with a grain of salt. Within minutes of sitting down and going through additional demo reels, and having Darren talk to us, all fears were quickly cast aside. Darren, Sean and their assistant Evan all have a great eye for composition, their results are amazing, and the price is hard to beat when you look at what you get.
Coming in blind about videography costs for a wedding, the initial numbers from everyone scared me, but when you compare what you get from these guys to everyone else, there is no comparison at all, I would hire VIP again in a second and have been speaking highly of them to my friends and family who have become engaged in wedding planning.
Darren and his team were amazing to work with. He was flexible and knew exactly what we wanted out of our wedding video!! I had complete trust in his team that they would make our video one of the best ever! Thank you again!!!
VIP Video was professional, unique and made me feel valued on my wedding day. From the first phone call with Darren, to our meeting to see samples and discuss packages all the way up until the end of our reception, their staff was creative in their shots and made my wedding party, parents and my husband and I feel comfortable and they did not intrude on the events of my day. From the first time I looked at their work, I knew they were the videographers for me. On the day of the event, Shawn had my husband and I write letters to one another and read them for the video. We are so excited for our video and loved the experience of working with VIP.
VIP Video are absolutely wonderful. Darren n Sean were completely professional and great to be around. They were on time the day of my wedding. They made me feeling comfortable while they were video taping. They made my wedding day more enjoyable and fun. Darren is absolutely amazing from the business end of everything. I knew from the day I met him at The Merion Bridal Show that I wanted to use his company for my wedding. He was down to earth and super friendly. He was always got right back to me if I had any questions or concerns. After my wedding, Darren keep me up to date on the status of the editing of our wedding video and when the estimated time it would be finish. Our wedding video is amazing. Darren and Sean captured the most important and amazing aspects of our wedding. Overall, I absolutely love everything about VIP Video!!! I have n will recommend VIP Video to everyone I know!!!!
If you're looking for a video that you will watch over and over again, VIP Video is the right fit for your wedding. I liken VIP's final product to a "Sportcenter" type highlight film of your wedding day. They catch all the right moments and use the right songs and shots to create a personal narrative for your wedding day. Further, the final product is typically around 45 minutes, so it is easy to show others without annoying them with a lengthy uncut video. My wife, Natalie,and I have watched the video with friends and family over 10 times since receiving the final product 4 months ago. In regards to price, VIP was well below their peers, and given that we have already watched the video many times, it was well worth the investment. Lastly, Darren and his brother, Sean, are excellent to deal with on the wedding day, they rarely bother you to get any forced shots and you can barely tell they are even at the event. Overall, VIP delivered exceptional service and a great final product.
We used VIP Video for our wedding. They were nice, friendly and fun to work with. A month before the wedding I wanted to upgrade my package so I could have same day edit at the reception, it was no problem for them. The same day edit was so cool, everyone raved about it at the reception. When our video came in they went above and beyond what we paid for. They really know what they are doing and their prices were very reasonable. Thanks guys, we really enjoyed our video and your services!
My Husband and I booked VIP video on a last minute decision. We saw one demo tape and were wowed. Once we received our own DVD it was even more then we could have ever expected. We have shown family and friends and they all say the same thing "It's like watching a movie". I could watch my video over and over and really never get board because of they way VIP video made it. Best wedding planning decision we made with out a doubt. Even my husband likes to show people our video because it's that great. If you are looking for high quality and a reasonable price with upgrading options. Book VIP you will not be disappointed.
I cannot say enough! They did a fabulous job on my wedding day. Some videographers can be obnoxious with their bright lights in everyone's faces - but not VIP! VIP was completely unnoticeable and worked great with the photographer. They are easy going, professional, quick to respond and even drove all the way to LBI for the wedding with no issues.
Vip did my wedding in oct 2010. They went over and beyond my expectations! My video is more like a hollywood production and my family was very impressed. Darren treated us like family and was very professional. They stayed longer than I paid for and did not miss a moment of the befores or afters. They continually stayed in touch with updates on the video process and were well worth the money. I cant say enough good things about them
I cannot say enough about how awesome these people are! Darren was at my house shooting away and you never would have known he was there. He captured things that morning that I completely forgot about-until the same day edit! Sean was at the house shooting the guys and fit in perfectly. He also capture some great getting ready footage of the guys!
You can't beat these guys. All that you get for the price you pay is unbelievable. I watch my same day edit over and over and am thankful for these guys capturing all that they did in a little 3 minute video. Can't wait to see my masterpiece =)
VIP Video did an amazing job at our wedding in April 2012. Darren came to my mom's house where me and the girls got ready and Shawn went to my house to be with the boys. Both Darren and Shawn were wonderful to work with!! They made sure they captured everything without getting in the way. They were very professional but very down to earth and fun. If they weren't filming my wedding they would have fit right in as guests. We just got our completed video a few weeks ago. Words cannot describe how awesome it is. It's not your run of the mill "beginning to end" video. It's a production pieced together to caption the highlights of the day. We had an outdoor ceremony but you would not know that by the sound. Both the picture and sound were top notch quality. We feel as though our money was well spent. When researching I found several vendors that were a little less expensive but the saying goes "you get what you pay for". The memories that they have given us are priceless! Everyone who has seen the video has had nothing but compliments saying that it's one of the best wedding videos they have ever seen. I have and will continue to recommend Darren and Shawn to anyone who is in need of this service. They are amazing!!!
VIP Video did a fabulous job at my wedding on Aug 11, 2012! There were two people who came in the morning one worked with myself and one worked with my husband to capture us getting ready before the wedding. They were unnoticeable during the ceremony and I feel the grand results are going to be fabulous by the same day edit they gave us at the wedding. The same day edit has all of our friends who could not make it to the wedding in tears! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a videographer in South Jersey and the price was reasonable! Thank you so much Darren for making our wedding spectacular!
Havent recived our video yet but were very pleased with VIP at our wedding.
