Endorsements
"It's always our pleasure to work with Dolce Video. Photographers and videographers often seek to document the same special moments throughout a couple’s wedding day, but Dolce videographers are particularly thoughtful to communicate with our photographers in advance about camera placement. They are also especially skilled at avoiding being caught by our lenses! Their consideration results in harmonious photographic and video coverage. And the sweet tooth in me loves their name! "
"As an experienced wedding DJ who takes pride in working closely with all the other vendors to ensure a smoothly run wedding reception, I am always pleased to find myself at an event where Dolce Video is working along with me. Whether it's owner Haynal Papp or one of the shooters who work with her, the Dolce Video videographers I've worked with have all been exceptionally professional and pleasant. Having seen them in action many times, I can attest that you really get your money's worth with them -- they are very active throughout the entire event, and they seem to do so without getting in the way of the guests. They are a class act all the way!"
"We have had nothing but great experiences with Dolce. With a wide range of packages, they have something for everyone. Our clients love watching their Dolce videos!"
"I worked w/ Natasha for a June 28th wedding at the Ronald Reagan & International Trade Building. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. Always smiling and always there to capture those precious moments of emotion - often overlooked. All the while being very unobtrusive. I have worked with many others, but they simply cannot compare. My bride spoke very highly of her and Haynal of Dolce Video. As a result, I started referring Dolce to my couples. Danielle & Nick were not disappointed and neither will you. "
"The Dolce videographers are always great to work with. They are professional and unobtrusive. They are considerate of the other vendors, and polite to the guests. They arrive on time and are conscientious of the event timeline. I recommend them to all of my clients. I also think it's important to remember that while still photographs are great - things like vows and toasts can only be fully caught on video. So I recommend all my clients include videography into their budget. You don't have to contract for an edited product immediately - at least get the raw footage and save up for a great edited video for your first anniversary. "

We have not yet seen the end product but we are confident it will be a beautiful piece of work! Dolce was extremely flexible in allowing us to adjust or contract with them only a couple days before the wedding. I also asked the videographer, the delightful Stephanie, to stay an extra hour as the day was just going far too fast and we wanted her to capture the cake cutting, etc. and she very kindly obliged. Haynal gave me great wedding day advice to smile, be happy and try not to worry if anything goes wrong (which it alwasy will). Thanks and we cannot wait to see the video!

I decided to hire a videographer at the very last minute and Dolce Video was extremely flexible and accomodating. We decided to have two videographers and they were very professional and unobstrusive. Throughout the entire ceremony and reception, I completely forgot I had videographers because they were never obstrusive. In addition, the entire team were very helpful and highly responsive. Currently, they are editing our video and they have answered every question I have had. I highly recommend Dolce, they are fantastic!!

Perhaps one of the best investments I made for the wedding. The video was beautiful and it was special because it caught moments that I missed throughout the day. Non-invasive, I didn't even realize they were there! They were punctual and professionally dressed. The final product far exceeded my expectations. Would recommend them (and have recommended them) to family and friends!

Halnal, Kristina and the shooters did an EXCELLENT job on our wedding video! It came out much better than I ever expected. I was on the fence about getting a video, but my wife really wanted one, so we "came up" with the extra money for it. We are both glad we did, we enjoyed watching the video so much we watched different parts multiple times. I definitely recommend getting 2 shooters for your event. They are able to capture special moments from multiple angles and when edited, the product really plays well! Halnal was very easy to work all of the contractual elements with, and explained the benefits of the different options well. The shooters were very discrete during the event. I don't recall seeing them much at all really! And Kristina did a wonderful job with the editiing. She also let us have our photographer send some of his professional pics, as well let us send us some honeymoon pics to incorporate. She created a great slide show of those pics. The only thing i would have liked included would have been the raw footage on DVD, i don't even know if we have a VCR anymore. I think you can pay for that upgrade, but i just assume do it myself if i can find a VCR. Overall great experience and WELL worth it. We plan to watch our video every anniversary!!! It will be really special to show to our children as they are growing up!

I recommend Dolce Video! The owner, Haynal Papp, is very friendly and has gone to great lengths to make sure that I am comfortable with the company and the final video. She is very thoughtful - I had some issues in the beginning with responsiveness but since I brought it up with her, she has been more than responsive and helpful. On the day of our wedding, our videographer - Caitlin - was extremely nice and professional and we can't wait to see the final product!

Dolce did such a fabulous job on our wedding video!! It is perfect, so professionally done, and they incorporated all our requests--special music, aspects of the wedding we wanted included, and being discreet at the church ceremony while still creating a classy montage of our day. Videography was something we added towards the end of our planning, as I wanted to keep the wedding simple, but we treasure the video even more than the pictures now! Definitely have your wedding videotaped by someone, as you never know what spontaneous moments can only really be captured in video. Dolce was one of the best choices we made!

Dolce Video shows creativity and innovation in videography and I highly recommend them to anyone even thinking about capturing their special events on film.

Our wedding video was truly wonderful! It was artistic and captured all of the important moments in a beautiful way that truly captured the essence of our unique ceremony. We were able to show it to all the friends/relatives who couldn't be there, and several felt like they have been now. They were great at working with the photographer and being completely discreet while still filming beautiful and touching moments--some of which were weren't even able to see. It is a pleasure to watch and share.
