Looking back at our wedding the best investment we made was to hire VIP to document our day. Now we have an amazing DVD that we will cherish forever. Ari was such a pleasure to work with and really understood what we wanted...and delivered it! My best recommendation is to anyone planning a wedding is don't skimp on your photographer or videographer. After all is said and done those images will stay with you forever.

We received the DVD's and it turned out AMAZING! I LOVE the case and the highlights to our day is perfect! Ari and his team team did an amazing job and we would like to thank him from the bottom of our hearts for helping us document the most important day of our lives! Bravo!

To be honest, I was used to watching my sister's wedding video from like a decade ago (that wasn't very good) so the quality of our DVD just blew that away... I guess I didn't really think about it too much because I wanted to be surprised. What I mean to say is that I knew it would be good because I had seen VIP's stuff before but the way it was edited everything was so clever... it felt like a movie! I guess it is just different when it is your wedding. Thanks again!!

Ari and his team were truly a pleasure to work with and we appreciate everything they did for us. My new husband and I are so thankful that we chose to have our special day captured professionally on DVD. Before our wedding, I was hesitant to invest in video in addition to professional photography. It wasn't until we were able to watch the finished DVD after our wedding that we realized how truly special it was to be able to relive our wedding day. Being able to relive our day was especially important to my husband and I since we both felt that our wedding flew by so quickly, and that, as the Bride & Groom, we had missed out on, or didn't remember, many important details. Looking back, I realize how difficult it was to recognize how important the DVD would be to us, until seeing VIP's finished work.

It is my strong recommendation for all brides-to-be to make the investment in a professional produced DVD for your big day.

VIP really went above and beyond the call of duty in not only capturing our special day, but also in his skilled and creative production of our Wedding DVD. My new husband and I are very pleased to have chosen such great talent as VIP to capture & preserve
our special day on DVD.

Thank you SO much!!

Thank you so much for the gorgeous job you did shooting our wedding video. Ryan and I absolutely love it! The highlight video you made is fantastic…we watch it over and over again. Every single person who watches our video absolutely loves it. Your ability to make our dream day such a beautiful memory is beyond words. You have an amazing talent. Ryan and I, as well as all of our families, can't thank you enough.

You grabbed all the magic that occurred that day and brought it to life through your artistic talent. I also appreciate how calm and unobtrusive you were on our wedding day. I was amazed when I saw the footage because I didn't realize you were there capturing all of the moments and details. You did a fantastic job on everything. You got all of the perfect shots and truly captured the beauty of the day. You do fabulous work. I will definitely be recommending VIP to all of my friends. Thank you so much!!

Ari is an incredible videographer, and my husband and I are so grateful that we picked him for this job. To be honest we didn't budget much for our video because we didn't think it would be that important to us. In my search for a decent videographer I came across his website and fell in love with his work. As result of this we now have ourselves an incredible piece of work that perfectly captures our day. He is so taleneted and his work is clean, innovative and nothing like I ever imagined a wedding video to be. He is also the nicest guy and helped make the day fun and easy.He is unobtrusive and does his job without becoming a feature on the day. I really could not be happier with his work and the final product. I have told him that he is one of my absolute favourite vendors and I really mean it. You will not be dissapointed!

Hey VIP,

Thank you so much for everything! It all feels like a blur now and it was wonderful to have a DVD to look at and remember certain moments. The DVD was soooo amazing!!!! You really are so creative and we feel that we couldn't have made a better decision than using VIP and will recommend you to everyone we know. The actual DVD captures everything that we felt, and we are so happy that we put the memories of such a special time in the hands of VIP. Thank you again!!!

VIP was recommended to us by a photographer and right the first meeting we knew we had met the right company to capture our precious memories.

I knew from the sample clips on their website that VIP was very creative, and after meeting Ari, we found his enthusiasm enticing, and his budget quote was not unreasonable! Their work just speaks for itself and you really get what you pay for.

We had two separate functions, one at our home in Santa Monica, and one at a restaurant in Beverly Hills. Both days were PERFECT! Ari and his team were very hard working, professionally dressed, and unobtrusive.

We really loved seeing our clip on their Blog and we sent the clip around the world many times over. The final DVD's are incredible and we are absolutely thrilled with them.

Our DVD's are the best Wedding videos we've ever seen, and we will recommend VIP whenever we can. Actually, we recommended VIP to our close friends 60th Birthday party and the video is better than I thought it would be. VIP delivers and always exceeds our expectations.

Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing you at our events in the future.

I would like to take this opportunity to express our complete and total gratification to Ari Perilstein and his staff for their magnificent work at our son's wedding. From the moment we met Ari and viewed his "artistic achievements", we all knew that we had chosen the right company. We had interviewed 7 other videographers first and once I saw VIP's presentation, we knew that we didn't need to look any further. He is an extremely personable, accomodating young man who made the experience sheer joy from beginning to end. His work speaks for itself, but I wanted to address his character and personality. He completely gets the flavor of the day and did everything within his ability to make it magical for our family. He captured every moment without our ever realizing he was around. The smallest details are on our video for us to cherish forever.

Videography is something that bride's and their families tend to leave for last on their vendor list. I did the same thing as well. I was fortunate to find someone who we immediately connected with and left enough in our budget to hire someone of his capablities. It is a mistake to leave videography for the last to hire. When Ari delivered our video, we were captivated by the whole experience all over again. Seeing the magic of the day and re-living it in such a glorious video made us all realize how necessary and important it was to make sure the videographer is right on top in terms of the first vendors to be hired.

To sum this up, when my daughter gets married next May, I am considering flying Ari to Israel to record her special day. If you would like to speak with me, please contact me at: Hedy31@aol.com

Boy did we get blessed! Choosing vendors for a wedding is a trying and difficult task and we relied heavily on other people to assist us in this process. Our Wedding Planner suggested VIP and Ari as Videographer; we had no idea what to expect. Well, Ari came out to meet us, did you get that? HE came out to meet us; we didn't have to go meet him. Immediately we knew this was different. When Ari arrived, he was very polite and personable, almost "unflappable" as even my corny jokes and twisted wit did not faze him. He genuinely wanted to know "us"and we opened up to him explaining what we really wanted. He was unbelievable! On our wedding day he and his partner were "all over" from beginning to end. Within 3 days we had a 4 minute "teaser" video compilation on his blog of our special day. Another gentleman we work with had been married months earlier and when he heard us playing the teaser video he was irate that he hadn't even heard from his videographer. As promised we had the full wedding on DVD within 6 weeks. It is spectacular, and so well done that we can literally "re-live" our wedding day, over, and over! Ari was amazing, the music and video mesh together so well it's like they're dancing together. We couldn't be happier! Oh and the other guy, he's still waiting for his video... ---------- Thanks again Sandra and Ed

My clients could not be happier with Ari. My last client even contacted me after her wedding to thank me specifically for referring her to VIP Productions. As an industry professional I find Ari easy to work with, warm with clients, and he has a phenomenal final product at a great value. I look forward to working together on many future weddings and events.

I have had the opportunity to work with Video Impact Productions on numerous occasions. They are very professional. Their final video productions are awesome. I highly recommend VIP to anyone looking for a video specialist.
