The best!

We are so glad we chose Toast to capture our beautiful wedding! After interviewing a few videographers, it quickly became clear that Toast was far more buttoned-up. Julianna was incredibly responsive, always proactively reaching out about upcoming deadlines, sharing information, and answering every question we threw her way. Every element of the footage captured by this talented team was gorgeous, and once everything came together, it was clear they knew exactly what we had envisioned.

Sandro was our day-of videographer, and we could not have been happier, or luckier, to have someone like him by our side. Not only was he kind and exceptionally talented, but he and his team were always in the right place at the right time. He calmly coached us through several shots he had in mind, and after seeing the results, it’s obvious he is unbelievably gifted.

The team delivered both our documentary and highlight films within a reasonable timeframe and was very flexible with the minor edits we requested. Overall, we cannot thank this team enough and would highly recommend choosing Toast for your special day!

Toast videography

We had a great experience working with our wedding videographer. Leading up to the wedding there was good communication about the timeline, music choices, and the moments we wanted captured, which helped everything run smoothly. On the wedding day they were very professional, friendly, and easy to work with, and they blended in well with our guests. Wedding videography is definitely an investment, but seeing the final film and being able to relive those moments made it completely worth it. We’re really grateful to have those memories captured so beautifully.

Hire Toast

As a groom, I cannot recommend Toast enough. The photography/videography aspect of a wedding was not something that I was necessarily excited or ready for. Our Toast videographer made the process so easy; I barely even remembered seeing him because he just blended into the chaos, yet was able to capture all the important moments that resulted in a perfect representation of our wedding day. We were very pleased with the end product. Highly recommend!

Great experience!!

We had the easiest time working with Toast! Having video footage was a top priority for me and my husband, but we felt super stretched by our budget. We spent a lot of time researching options and landed on Toast, given it's approachable contracting, more affordable options & stellar customer service. We had a great experience working with Julianna (Client Experience) - she talked us through their offerings, responded to all emails promptly & made day-of logistics super easy for us!! We loved the way our final highlight reel turned out - and that we had the opportunity to provide two rounds of free feedback. More than photos & stories, it brings us back to the day & will be our most special keepsake (along with the documentary and raw footage). We definitely recommend working with Toast for an easy, reliable & quality service!

Toast wedding photography

Toast weddings did an amazing job with our photos and videos on our wedding day. Planning a destination wedding from 3000 miles does create some anxiety! The planning and coordination between Julianna and our photographer and videographer was seamless despite the distance. Being able to work with one person throughout the process made things so much easier. Julianna was able to communicate our vision to the photographer and videographer as well as the editing team. The best part of all, the final product was absolutely breathtaking! Toast is phenomenal.

Very happy with Toast. I highly recommend!

A videographer was one of our most important vendor decisions, and we are so glad we went with Toast. We had a great experience working with the crew on our wedding day, and the editing team in post-production was awesome. They did a beautiful job capturing all the moments we wanted to remember, and they were very collaborative when it came to editing the final video so the end result really felt custom to us. We would highly recommend booking Toast for your wedding!

Excellent videographers!

Toast Weddings was a pleasure to work with for our wedding video. From our first interaction, they were prompt in their communication, responsive to our questions, and had a friendly, personable demeanor that put us at ease. On the day of the wedding, their attention to detail was evident as they seamlessly captured all the important moments - from the ceremony to the reception and everything in between. The final video was fun, memorable, and perfectly put together, with a music style that matched the tone of our special day. We couldn't be happier with the work Toast Weddings did to preserve the memories of our wedding
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
