    Michael was awesome! He was responsive and answered my questions throughout the whole process.
    He was very much “In the background” at the wedding, but was able to capture all our special moments.
    He was friendly and kept me laughing in some of the odd down times (walking to take pictures). He worked well with my photographer and worked around my crazy, dancing guests.

    He was a great value for the footage we will be receiving. I can’t wait to see the video!

    It was everything we expected and very pleased. Michael was very present but very unassuming. No big paparazzi fanfare to take away from the moments. Worked very well with photographer. Offers a 45 min documentary as well as 3 min trailer. That was very hard to find with a reasonable price. Very good value.

    Jim is an amazing chef and knows how to make many dishes. His food is so excellent that my sister is wants to use him for wedding but she doesn't live here. I would recommend him to anyone for any price range and diet. He had a very ranged menu for all our picky eaters. He was very involved to make sure our food was served correctly and fresh as we had an outside wedding.

    Michael was such a pleasure to work with! We actually had to move our wedding up 3 months due to a family emergency and he was more than happy to be flexible and for that, we will forever be grateful. He was so fun to work with and was the perfect fit for my husband and I. It did take about 5-6 months to get the video, but that was in his contract from the beginning. After seeing the video, I would wait 6 months all over again. It was totally worth it. He captured everything perfectly. Thank you, Michael!!

    Our event was held at their Kyle House venue and everything was absolutely perfect. From the beginning Jim was very involved with us in picking a menu and making sure we were happy with it. We were able to do a tasting at home which allowed us to be comfortable as we tasted. The day of the wedding we were able to eat a little! But the entire evening everyone kept telling us how good the food was. The staff was friendly and courteous and attended to everything we needed. And after the reception they had extra food packaged up for us so we could still try everything the guests did!

    Mike did an amazing job for us at our wedding in June! We haven't yet received our video, but I just wanted to comment on the professionalism Mike showed during our wedding. Even though our wedding day did not exactly go according to plan, due to weather, Mike was extremely helpful in keeping our wedding reception going smoothly. He kept us all upbeat and continued to record our truly special evening. I cannot wait to see the final video!

    The food and the venue was absolutely perfect. We got married at the Kyle House and could not have dreamed of a more perfect day. Everyone raved about the food saying, "it was the best wedding food I have ever had. I kept going up for more!" You do not get a more romantic or breathtakingly beautiful venue when it comes to the Kyle House. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Schaals and the Kyle House again and again. Thanks for the perfect day!

    Michael and his team are amazing! They were extremely professional and easy to work with. Before we made the decision to hire a videographer, I was worried that it might seem intrusive at the wedding or that people wouldn't want to be filmed. They were not intrusive AT ALL (later a few of our guests said "oh, you had a videographer? I didn't even notice"). They were so friendly and patient on the day of our wedding. After the wedding, Michael stayed in touch with us while he worked on the videos. We chose to have both a full length and a cinematic (shorter) film made. We could not be happier with the quality of both films. We are...

    Working with Starring You Productions was one of my best experiences throughout wedding planning. They listened to everything that I hoped I would get out of my videos and gave me exactly that. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is seeking a videographer! Every special moment of the day was captured on film. We will treasure our wedding video forever!

    These guys are flipping fantastic! We haven't gotten our video yet, but I didn't even realize they were at the wedding. They are a husband and wife team who are super kind and very professional! I would rate them higher if I could. By all means, if you are going to get a videographer (and you should) get them. They are wonderful!

    Jim Schaal has made a reputation for himself in the Roanoke Valley. We had heard many different reviews before meeting Jim, and weren’t sure what to expect. He is a vendor who is direct, and who lets his many years of experience guide his conversations. At first, we found ourselves in a whirlwind of information, but the more we got to know Jim, the more we appreciated his candor and his expertise. He worked with us on menu, even cooking recipes that we had sent to him that we wanted on our special day. Not that this bride got to eat, but I did hear from everyone how phenomenal the food was for our June wedding. We didn’t expect...

    I have to say that hiring Starring You Productions was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. The films are amazing, and far surpassed my expectations. Starring You is professional and the work was completed on the exact date that the contract stated and they are very quick with responses.
    Videography was the last thing on my wedding list. I wasn't sure that I needed it and I couldn't decide if the cost was worth it. I did a lot of debating with myself and didn’t tell my fiancé until the day that we were meeting to sign the contract :). I decided that you only get one chance to capture the most important day...

    Michael and Karleen were amazing! We couldn't have been happier with the way our documentary and highlight videos turned out. They were able to capture every moment and have provided us with a treasured film that will always allow us to go back and relive that special day.

    Starring You Productions did a wonderful job filming, editing and producing the video of our daughter's wedding reception. Although they must have taken a lot of footage to produce such a memorable video, they were very considerate and unobtrusive during the reception. They were courteous, friendly and very professional. I would highly recommend them for wedding videography!

    Everyone told me that my wedding day would pass by so quickly that I wouldn't remember anything, and they were correct. However Michael and Karleen did the best job in capturing all of the highlights of our wedding. The wedding videos were much better than I could have even imagined. Watching the videos were wonderful because there were so many details about the day that I did not remember. Plus, the way it was packaged on video was so fun and energetic! It truly was like watching a movie, with us as the stars. Everyone (family and friends) that have watched our videos were more than impressed. We are so thankful to have used Starring You Productions because the...

    We had superb service from Schaal's Events:
    - Hunting Hills Country Club Venue
    - Food and bar service
    - prep and serving help at wedding eve open house

    Their staff is responsive, professional, and pays attention to details.
    Jim's menu gave us a fabulous selection of delicious food throughout the evening. Presentation of food is beautiful! He can work within your budget. The Hunting Hills Country Club venue is absolutely wonderful. There is all new comfortable furniture . . . many seating arrangements . . . provides many spaces for comfortable visiting/eating in addition to the dining area. We had the largest dance floor area available which was great for our dancing crowd. Outside wedding on patio . . . beautiful with forest backdrop. Inside reception space was teriffic! Felt pricing was very reasonable.

    The Schaals were absolutely wonderful to work with at the Kyle House. They made sure to cater to our needs at all times--we weren't sure about the table linens so they offered to purchase new ones because they liked our color scheme. They were always easy to work with and made the wedding a breeze. The food was also delicious!

    We love this teams style! They make a memorable film, not just chronological video of our event. Mike and Karleen are so loving and fun to work with. They made me laugh all day! I just loved it. Even if your camera shy like my new hubby...they put you right at ease and make you forget all about the cameras! Can't wait to see our final footage!

    My wife and I loved working with Mike and Karleen of Starring You Films. As a husband and wife videography duo, they just get it! My wife still remembers the day she first spoke with Mike and how passionate he sounded about his line of work. On the day of the wedding, we hardly knew they were there. We've received our wedding highlight which blew us (along with our family and friends) away! The quality of the film as well as the music selections were perfect.

    To think we almost missed out on getting our wedding filmed because we thought all videographers were in your face with bright lights and interview your guests. Not this team, they are true artists!

    Starring You is awesome and gives you the best quality Film! Before I was even engaged I had already researched that they would be my vendors when it was time for me to get married. I watched Starring You movies online and every movie was unique and so special. I loved the moments they caught for the couples. About 6 months or so before my Wedding I met with Mike and he was such a pleasure to work with. He was always calm and never pushy. He was always so attentive and professional about what we wanted in our movie. Him and his wife did such a great job depicting our Wedding Day. My Wedding was Greek and Armenian,...
