We stretched our budget at the last minute to include video and couldn't be happier with that decision. We hired 5iveStar primarily because of their prices but also because of the demo they sent to us. They filmed in HD and the DVD's look wonderful and we especially loved the highlights section. It was so romantic the way they edited everything. Our recommendation would be to stretch your budget enough to include videography. We highly recommend 5iveStar Media Productions and Jim Radcliff who filmed our wedding.

We met Jim and Steve at the Bridal Show in Baltimore in January and were very impressed with the presentation they provided, as well as, with their personalities. It was very important to us that our vendors be friendly and personable as we wanted to make certain they would blend in well with the other vendors and with our guests. They definetly excelled in that area as we received many great comments on how great they were and upon the way they were dressed in tuxedos and how courteous they were.
Bob is a big screen and HD fanatic and he was impressed with their cameras and the fact that they used MAC's for editing (he is also a MAC fanatic).
We just received our Blu-Ray discs and we are totally thrilled with the job they did for us .... the titles and fonts, the slow motion, we loved everything but my favorite part was the highlights at the end. In fact, we asked them if they could produce a web version of the highlights for us to put up on our website and they sent us a "flash" file (I think).
If you are looking for a great videographer then this is your company.

Mike Eaves - such a pleasure to work you and Jim Ratliffe. 5ive Star did a great job. It was so nice to work with you. Mike, really took the time to understand what we wanted to capture for our ceremony and reception. We had alot of fun working with Mike. 5ive Star has flexible packages, great videographers, and very professional.

David and I found 5iveStar on the Wedding Wire and accessed their website. We requested a demo and were surprised that we received a complete DVD of another couple's Wedding. Most of the other videographers sent us a DVD of various clips from many Weddings and Receptions. This enabled us to get a better idea of what our completed DVD would look like. We were impressed with the demo DVD and also the package prices that were provided. After speaking with Steve Young over the phone and through email we selected them to be our videographer.
We just received our DVD's and were initially impressed with the DVD cases. Great photos from the video on the front and back and our parents photos on the back of the cases produced for them.
The quality was superb and it was produced in widescreen format that looked great on our television.
They came dressed in tuxes, were very polite and professional, and always responded to our questions and requests in a timely manner. We were very happy with our decision.

5iveStar Media Productions truly provided us with five star service on our wedding day. Steve, our videographer, could not have been more professional and had a friendly demeanor to help keep everyone at ease. He skillfully captured all the highlights of our day while remaining completey unintrusive. We are delighted with our finished product and would strongly recommend 5star Media Productions to others looking for a reliable videography service providing great value for money in the DC area.
Thanks for allowing us to relive this special day over and over again.

We just received our DVD's and had a viewing party for the entire bridal party and both of our families. We scheduled the showing to occur just after the Redskins game on Sunday. The Wedding DVD was a big hit. Great quality and we loved the chapter markers and being able to go to specific locations in the DVD. It took us a little longer than we wanted to get the DVD's but it partially our fault as we didn't send in our photos for the montage sections until about a month ago. Jim Ratliff was great to work with during the editing process and helped a lot the selection of music to be used during our photo sections and highlights. Steve Young was our videographer and all of my guest just loved him. Our Wedding and Reception were both outdoors at the Woodlawn Plantation and we a little worried about inside and outside lighting issues but none were to be seen on the DVD's. You will love working with them.

Five Star was professional, excellent, and provided a great video record of our special day. They provided the edited video quickly after the event, and it was very well done. Above all, they provided the service at a very reasonable price, not over-inflated like most videographers in the DC area.

Imagine, you are so happy on the morning of your wedding and you just don't know how it can get any better. Then, in comes Steve from 5iveStar Media Productions and the fun really begins. His entrance to the house started all of us laughing so hard that we could barely contain ourselves. From that point on, he continuously videoed our every move, but you felt no instrusion. I was totally amazed at all of the actions that he captured when I saw the final product.
I knew from the first time I met Steve, that he would add tremendously to my wedding day. He quickly became more than a videographer, he became a friend. His ability to be in your presence, yet you not see his equipment and his closeness is amazing. He caught the most precious moments of our wedding day. While Steve stayed with the bridal party, his partner, and equally as capable, Mike, was at the ceremony site. We were married at Brookside Gardens, and Mike caught the most beautiful aspects of the Gardens. He captured work done before the ceremony started as well as the guests in attendance. Steve and Mike beautifully captured the ceremony and at the reception site, despite the close quarters, did a beautiful job.
The final product, the wedding DVD, was spectacular. I was amazed at the work they did. I was able to finally see parts of my wedding that I had never seen. The montage, the choice of music, the interviews of guests and our honeymoon pictures were so well done. I was totally impressed with the package and the speed that the video was completed and sent to us. Their packaging was beautiful and so personal. Steve kept me informed throughout the process. He and Mike were both extremely professional. I received the same treatment when I talked with Jim, the owner of the company. If you want to have great fun on your wedding day and end up with a spectacular product, then I highly recommend 5iveStar Media Productions. Ask for Steve and Mike.

We found 5iveStar on the Wedding Wire and noticed that they had an office in Bethany Beach. Our Wedding was in Rehobeth and the reception in Ocean City. Finding at least one vendor with an office in the OC area was a relief. After contracting with Mike Eaves he recommended our photographer and our DJ. We were very pleased with all three and especially Mike and 5iveStar. When he sent us a request for a referral we couldn't have been happier to give them our highest recommendation.

We are extremely pleased with the product, price, personality, and professionalism that was provided by this company. We narrowed our search down to three videographers and met with each. When we considered price, quality, and the presentation made by each, we chose Five Star Media. I would like to share one of my biggest reasons for writing a review. Our reception was wonderful and maybe occasionally got a little too wild. While we both loved the final product, we received a free copy for the grandparents. Don's grandparents could not attend and we were mailing thier copy. Don felt that some of the "more fun" scenes might be offensive to the parents. We asked Jim if would be kind enough to cut or remove only those segments from the copy going to his PaPa and Baba ... he understood, and produced a special copy just for them. Please understand how much that extra effort meant to us. We will recommend this company to our family and friends and anyone else looking for a videographer. Thanks ... Vanessa and Don

5iveStar Media Productions produced a quality product at a very good price. John compared so many videographers, so may price levels (from $1000 to $4500), and so many different ways of calculating the actual cost (how many hours, how many copies, etc). They were at the lower end in price, but on the upper end in quality. I left the decision up to John but am so happy that he decided on Jim and Ed from 5iveStar. From our perspective, you can pay a lot more, but when the end product exceeds your expectations you have made the correct decision.

Our Wedding was held at St Raphael Catholic Church and our Reception was at the Pooks Hill Marriott. Ryan's primary concerns were that the videographer would use "bright lights" and be in everyones way. Jim and Steve met with and they assured us that they would use no lights at the ceremony and only minimal lighting at the reception. They were true to their word and their professionalism was evident to not only us but all of our guests. Julie one of my bridesmaids has already selected them to film her Wedding in September 2009. Our DVD's were wonderful and they were just like a DVD we rent from blockbuster. Beautiful opening scene and menu and chapter markers that permitted us to go to 18 different scenes during the day. We appreciate their work and you will too.

Five Star Multimedia filmed the Wedding of a soldier that works with me and I was a Bridesmaid at that Wedding. She raved about her DVD and highly recommended the company. Our wedding was held at the Main Chapel on Fort Meade and the Chaplain from our unit served as our officiant. After the wedding our reception was held at the Officer's Club on Fort Meade. Our videographer was Steve and he got along great with everyone. We received our DVD's and loved them. They provided free copies for all of my bridesmaids which was a big hit. We can highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reasonably priced and very professional company.

Five Star Multimedia Productions was recommended to me from a friend who got married 2 years before I did. She had nothing but positive feedback to give me about this company. I trusted her judgement and hired them to video my wedding, which was held at St Joseph Fullerton, and my reception which was held at Valley Mansion in Cockeysville, MD. Jim Ratliff and his crew, Mike and Steve, were absolutely wonderful to work with. They were very easy going, professional, receptive to our needs and wants, and they captured every memorable moment of our special day! Our wedding video was finished in a timely manner. The video that Jim and his crew put together was great! We watched it immediately and loved every minute of it. It was put together just as we would have done. I am very pleased with the services Five Star provided for us. I would highly recommend them to any bride and groom-to-be!
