As I was searching for videographers for my wedding, I wanted a company that was affordable yet made cinematic type videos. Toast was everything I could have wanted! Their team was WONDERFUL. Every single one of them (Tom, Ron, & Julianna). They got back to me in a timely manner, answered any and all questions, and crafted our dream wedding video that we will cherish forever and ever. 10/10 recommend!

Toast did a fantastic job! Samuel filmed our wedding. He did an incredible job capturing all of our favorite moments. He was so friendly and easy to work with, and we loved getting to see sneak peeks on his camera throughout the day. Our final video turned out amazing we couldn’t be happier. Toast was wonderful from start to finish, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding videographer. My wife Nicole and I will always cherish our wedding video!
