It was not until a month or so before our wedding that I finally convinced my husband to agree to a wedding filmmaker. Our budget was stretched to the max and he felt this was an optional vendor. Had we gone with a different company, we would not feel as strongly but to say - you simply can NOT pass up this filmmaker at your wedding.
Speaking with Dave Williams on the phone for the first time was really refreshing. He is so passionate about his industry and approaches a wedding film like a major motion picture. If you look at same of the samples on their website - you will get tears, laugh, and feel like you know some of the couples.
We ended up choosing a Same-Day-Film package. Let me just say - WOW. After the cake was cut, screens came down and an amazing trailer-style film (see below) played for all of our guests to watch. We were in awe from the beginning, but about halfway through, I was completely overcome with emotion. Having the ability to watch the day play before your eyes while you are still in the event is indescribable. We were asked to pre-select family and friends to speak from the heart about us. Their voiceovers along with snippets from important parts of the day made it even more special.
Even two months after our wedding, our guests are still expressing a similar sentiment: the venue, cocktail hour, sunset ceremony, detailing, and more- blew them away but watching the film during the reception is something they can hardly put into words; we feel the same way!
I cannot say enough good things about CinemaCake. The biggest compliment I think I can give is to say that I don’t feel that our wedding day would not have been the same with out CinemaCake. We will cherish this forever.
My fiance and I were recently married september 15th at the Four Seasons in Philadelphia. Planning the wedding and selecting all of our vendors was not an easy task, but the one decision we made from the very beginning and never looked back on was choosing Cinemacake as our videographer. Our wedding video was one area we 100% did not want to compromise on. We knew a well made wedding video would play more like a film that could capture our wedding in ways photography simply could not and that we could watch and relive over and over again for the rest of our lives. We spent countless days researching every single videographer in the tri-state area; going through every single company website, looked at every review online from every wedding website, got recommendations from every vendor and the four seasons themselves.... All of our research led us back to Cinemacake and there really was no comparison- we were hooked and it turned out to be the best decision we made in all of our planning. These guys were unbelievable; everything we thought they were going to be and more and did not disappoint one bit. They are worth every single penny. Everyone at the wedding was going crazy at how amazing our same day edit turned out. "how the **** did they put that together so fast????!!!!" "that was absolutely amazing!!!!!" "OMG!!!!OMG!!!!!!". Every time we get together with family or friends or whoever, everyone wants to watch the same day edit again because it just makes you feel so good every single time you see it. They really did a knockout job. Unbelievably professional. The number 1 question after the wedding from all of our friends and our parents friends is still "who wassss that videographer you guys had???" We can't recommend them enough.

We absolutely love our wedding video! Cinema Cake was able to capture each and every important moment on our big day! Everyone that worked with us that day was phenomenal and we could not be happier with the end result. LOVED the out takes, great bonus at the end of the video, it was hysterical. We can't wait to share the video with our friends and family!!
Dave came out to film our wedding day, although we have not received the full film yet since it's only been 2 weeks since our wedding we have gotten the coming soon trailer and we absolutely love it! We can not wait to get the full movie & have a viewing party! It was a pleasure working with cinemacake their work is outstanding, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Every step of the way was a delight, and the cinemacake crew are extremely prompt and friendly, customer service can't be beat! Love everything about them! Thank you guys so much for capturing our day for us!!
Absolutely the best video production of your wedding OR whatever the the special you could give yourself! Next to having Steven Speilberg captuer your event on film, there isn't Cinema Cake is hands down tops......You can watch EVERY video in the galley on the website (as I did), none of it prepared me for what I watched when I received my very own film. From day #1when I walked into their offices to the day I received my film it was as if they had no other clients to tend to...lol. You are in contact with them, it seemed like 24/7. VERY professional and went out of their way on several occasions to make sure what my wife and I wanted, we received I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CINEMACAKE......
Cinemacake is more than the "Best of the Best" when it comes to selecting your wedding videographer. I had watched some of their films online prior to us picking them. I couldn't stop watching their beautiful films and knew that they had to be a part of our special day. They certainly did not disappoint.
The owners, Dave and Sheryl, are fantastic to work with. They met with my husband and I in the very beginning to review our package options and to get to know us on a personal level. This was very important to us because we wanted to make sure we had someone that knew exactly what we were like and how to make our video perfect for us. We decided to do the "Same Day Edit" as a surprise for all of our guests as well as the final film.
On the day of our wedding, Dave and his crew were very professional to work with. They showed up early to set up and jumped right in to filming our pre-wedding festivities. They use the most up to date equipment and were discreet in capturing every little moment. My family and friends didn't even realize they were taking video half the time so I know they got all of the candid moments as well.
Cinemacake was amazing and my family and friends can't stop raving about our same day edit film. The film was edited throughout the entire day by their amazing editor, Caleb, and then shown on a big HD screen after we cut the cake. It made the reception so unique and special and one that many will never forget. I watch the video non-stop. It's so good...I can't help it. :)
We look forward to seeing the final film when it's complete. I know there were so many other moments that Dave and his crew captured. This will definitely be something my family and I cherish forever!
If you haven't done so already, watch some of their films online at cinemacake.com. I highly recommend them if you want a video with the best memories that will last a lifetime!
These guys KNOW what they're doing! They don't make a video - they make films that capture your heart... We used Dave Williams for our wedding day and they made a Same Day Edit clip which we showed at our reception to all our guests. They were incredible and meticulous planners. They invite you to outline your details, your ideas for what/how you'd like the feel of your movie to be like... Not all vendors do that. They captured various details that we outlined in a document and we were suprised to see every detail captured..
CinemaCake was wonderful. Every time I had a moment in my wedding when I thought, "I wish I could get that on tape," I looked-up and CinemaCake was filming it! The team also worked in sync with our amazing photographer, Carly K. Because of the professionalism of the team, our timeline stayed on track. Until your actual wedding day, you have no idea how difficult and important that is. I now understand how some brides are so late for their own weddings.
We did a bridal presentation before the wedding so that we did not keep our guests waiting for the reception to begin. With our impressive photography and videography team, it was easy for us to get great coverage and to get to the church on time!
I am certain that you will love CinemaCake!
Tom, Sheryl, and the entire Cinema Cake team were a true delight to work with. Their responsiveness and eagerness to please was unparalleled, and above that they were just so friendly, accomodating, helpful, and easy going in all correspondence. We hired them to do a Same Day Edit of our NYC wedding, and after giving them some "must get shots" and an example to work from, Cinema Cake ended up giving us a video that was above and beyond any expectation we possibly could have had. There wasn't a dry eye in the room as we all watched at the end of the night. Their crew members are true geniuses, and we had a number of guests approach them for business cards afterwards because they were so impressed with their work. It's been a month and I still watch the video everyday and it brings me right back to that special day in a way that no other videographer could have managed. There is true talent in this company and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them.
Amazing! Hands down the best videographer out there! The Cinemacake team was wonderful to work with from day one. We could not have been happier when we made the decision to hire them. Originally we were on the fence about hiring a videographer and after watching our video we could not have imagined our day without them! They captured so many moments from our day and watching their video allows us to relive each and every one. Our guests from NY to CA said it is the best video they have ever seen! Many people did even realize they were there the day of! I would highly encourage anyone thinking about a videographer to check out Cinemacake and review their work - you will be impressed! We have watched our video endless times and could not imagine our wedding day without Cinemacake. THANK YOU!

Love you guys! Thank you!Love you guys! Thank you!
We worked with a lot of great vendors for our wedding and CinemaCake was probably one of the more smoother experiences we had. We knew we had to act quickly if we wanted to hire them for their services, but we still shopped around. Like others have said, we always kept coming back to them. Their videos were like no one elses, and that was worth the price for us.
Working with Dave and Sheryl and the CinemaCake staff leading up to the wedding, during the wedding day, and afterwards was a worthwhile journey. With all the couples and groups of people they work with, we always felt like they knew who we were and everything about our wedding and package leading up to it. They were always quick to answer our questions and gave us guidance based on their prior experiences.
Our final production was burned on Blu-ray which was fitting given our wedding was shot in HD. With the way they put their films together, you really feel like you are watching a movie, especially in HD. They asked us to provide them with specific background songs or content we wanted to see in the film and they made it all happen. We could tell they genuinely wanted to make the best film for us which we totally expected having seen so many samples on their site.
I have always believed that you truly "get what you pay for." If you are looking for a lasting memory of your wedding day to compliment your still pictures, you should absolutely consider adding a videographer. If you are looking for the best experience, CinemaCake should be at the top of your list.
CinemaCake is on a level of it's own. I was convinced I did not need a videographer who would crowd my space with bulky equipment during our big day. After seeing their work and the way in which they conduct business my mind was changed. They are AMAZING. I have received my wedding video and watched it way too many times to count. Everyone who watches it says its brings tears to their eyes. I am so grateful to the memories they have captured that I will be able to hold on to forever.

Booking Cinema Cake was the BEST decision we made, hands down. We knew they were pricey, and tried hard to find a more budget-friendly videographer, but I kept coming back to Cinema Cake because frankly, NOBODY compared. The films they offer are SO unique, that I knew that if I DIDN'T book them, I'd always wonder "what if".
Our experience with Dave and Sheryl has been fantastic. They were just so easy to work with, and on the day of the wedding, we didn't even notice they were there! And talk about going above and beyond - Jimmy even rode in the TRUNK of our SUV to get shots of us taking pictures out around the city!
We had our Coming Soon Trailer just a few days after the wedding, and we just couldn't believe it - how did they manage to perfectly capture all that emotion in just 2 minutes? It made us both cry, and our friends and family have RAVED about it.
I work in the television industry, and so I can be a harsh critic when it comes to video and editing. Well so far, Cinema Cake has blown me away. In fact, even my colleagues have said how SPECTACULAR our Trailer was, and that is HIGH PRAISE.
If you have the chance to book Cinema Cake, DO IT. You will not regret the extra money for one second. We can't WAIT to get our film. What a treasure we will have to share with our children one day. Thank you guys!
We loved working with Dave, Sheryl and their entire team. Cinema Cake was amazing at our wedding. They brought enough staff to cover the day. They had a great attitude and happiness to them. They were even willing to stay a little longer when we were behind schedule to make sure they covered everything special. During filming, it was nice to see them excited when they filmed things they thought would look amazing. It really shows that they are passionate about their work. During the entire planning process, they were very friendly, supportive and always quick to respond to any of our questions. We cannot wait to see our wedding video. Thank you for treating us so well!
i waited till the last minute to book cinema cake because we had a problem with the original videographer that we booked. i've been drooling over their wedding videos since the beginning of my wedding planning process but was unsure if i was able to afford them (they are pricey!!!). i can't even begin to explain how happy i am to have made the investment. dave and sheryl were so flexible and accommodating to my late booking and jordan and john, the cinematographers, were so stealth on the day of. my "coming soon" trailer was finished last week and i still cry every time i watch it. my family and friends are so blown away by the quality of the trailer. a co-worker saw it on facebook and came over to my desk in tears because she thought it was so beautiful! i can't wait to see the final product.
moral of the story: spend the money on a videographer. specifically, THIS videographer. you will not regret it!
