Best of the best!

We had Monachetti for our wedding April 15th 2023 and we can’t say enough about how amazing they are! Not only are they incredibly talented, they are professional, funny, and incredibly nice. We’re not the most experienced or comfortable in front of cameras, but they truly made everything seem so easy and had us feeling relaxed. We got our video back a few weeks later, faster than we thought we would see it, and the quality and moments they captured from our day are something we will cherish forever.

Family Heirloom Quality Media

Michael and his team are truly incredible. Our videographers were warm, pleasant and unobtrusive. The final videos captured not just aesthetics but also the *feel* of our wedding and I believe that's what sets Monachetti apart. Michael and his team create compelling, poignant films that will become heirloom family media for years to come. They go above and beyond, when I asked for some extra footage I thought they might have, they were able to send it over right away to complete our portfolio. We recommend Monachetti without reservation!

Monachetti Became Family

Monachetti is the most unique company that we have had the pleasure to work with and get to know. Having to reschedule our wedding three times, Monachetti stayed with us over the course of three years and three contracts due to my father undergoing two emergency open heart surgeries and the COVID-19 pandemic. Each time we had to reschedule, Monachetti was kind, understanding, and graceful. They made the difficult situations that we were in easier and helped to ease our hearts with their sincere words and constant prayers.

When we were finally able to wed in July 2021, Monachetti gave us their all. They were professional, friendly, and charismatic. On our wedding day, the Monachetti team became our close friends and family. They captured every moment with attention to detail through the lens of true artists. The team brought our wedding to life through film as they laughed with us, cried with us, and felt our every emotion. We will treasure Monachetti and their outstanding work for the rest of our lives. We are beyond grateful to have met this fantastic company, especially the owner Michael and his team Sebastian and Fabricio. Thank you, Monachetti.

Must hire- beyond amazing!

Mike and his team were beyond fantastic to work with! Not only did they capture our wedding beautifully, get our videos to us quickly (including a teaser), but they also added to the overall joy of the day. When you work with someone with a camera near you on such a huge moment in your life, you definitely want these guys! Highly, highly recommend.

Wonderful Videography Team!

It was a pleasure working with Monachetti and having them capture our wedding. Michael was always quick to respond to our emails, and Abby ensured that all of the logistics were ready beforehand. Paul and Lydia did a wonderful job the day of the wedding. Our video was beautiful and we are so happy that we have it to relive our special day. If you’re looking for a wedding videographer, we highly recommend Monachetti!

Best team ever!

If you’re on the fence about booking the Monachetti team to be your wedding videographer, please take this as your sign to DO IT! I’m not one to write many reviews and I don’t even have our wedding video back yet (his and his team’s work speaks for itself on their site), but Mike has been so accommodating, professional, and surpassed every expectation along the way that I want to recommend him to as many couples possible as early as possible. Especially as a couple whose wedding was impacted by COVID, having a supportive and kind vendor like Mike has truly made all the difference. He’s been invested and flexible with us from our very first conversation. The time, energy, and love the team puts into each video is so clear and I feel incredibly lucky to have such a rockstar team to capture our day for us to look back on for decades to come.

They captured our day perfectly!

Monachetti was incredible. Our video turned out better than we ever could have expected and the team was amazing to work with on our wedding day. They captured everything perfectly and we were thrilled with the end result. They also were able to turn the videos around within a month which is AMAZING. Could not recommend them more!

Monachetti is one of the best wedding video companies I have ever worked with. Their videos are top-notch and Mike (the owner) has such a great eye for highly creative and inventive shots that, paired with the right music and flawless editing, make his videos outstanding. Monachetti has been crafting wedding videos for YEARS and their skill, creativity, and attention to detail show in every video they produce!
