When Toast Wedding Films says their approach is to be like a fly on the wall, they aren’t kidding! Our videographer Trevor was there capturing everything but never once stopped or interrupted the flow of the day. He was so nice and personable, and it felt like we’d been talking to him for months rather than meeting him for the first time that day! Everyone said how focused he was doing detail shots, and he was there for every important moment we asked to have filmed.
Working before the big day with Jaynani was incredible! She was so helpful and constantly checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The wedding questionnaire they have you fill out covers literally everything we could think of that mattered about our video. I also loved the personal touch of chatting with the owners of Toast before we booked with them to make sure we really knew the story and people behind the scenes. Originally, we hadn’t budgeted for a videographer, but we’re so glad we could work with Toast Wedding Films to fit into our budget and on our date!
We love our video, and we especially appreciated how willing they were to work with us on editing. It was important to me to include as much footage of my grandparents as possible since my grandma had passed, and Toast delivered. We’re grateful to have these memories preserved forever.
Toast was absolutely incredible. They listened to our vision and spent a lot of time making sure they knew what we were looking to get out of our videography. We opted for the social media reel, an 8 minute video, and an hour video and we are so glad we have all the footage from our day. It was a whirlwind so getting to watch the key moments back is the greatest thing. They are incredibly professional, and we could not recommend them more!
