We had Toast as our videographer for our wedding in Reno. They were a delight to work with and so easy. Thank goodness because wedding planning is no joke! I actually was not going to get a video initially but all my friends recommended one and I am so grateful they were so adamant. Toast did a phenomenal job and I barely even knew they were there, which is ideal for capturing those candid moments. Everything was timely and we loved our video as well as the short. It was worth the money and my husband and I cried when we watched it. You realize that you miss out on so much because the wedding weekend flies by. This will be a keepsake and treasured by us to relive that beautiful weekend. I highly recommend Toast. THey are professional, affordable, and create wonderful work.
We absolutely loved working with the entire team at Toast! When we first started to plan for our wedding we weren't sure whether having a video was important to us, but we are so grateful we did it. One of the reasons we were hesitant was because we were worried the videographer would be in our faces the entire time, but Edgar was so professional and managed to get all the important shots without ever feeling like he was impacting the flow of the day. In fact, many of our family members don't recall seeing him at all, which is truly a testament to his ability as a videographer! Our final videos (both the 5-minute highlight reel and the longer documentary edit) are beautifully shot and edited and required virtually no touch-ups. Truly the most amazing process from start to finish!

So glad you and Trevor love your film and Edgar! We all work hard on being present but unnoticed and it sounds like we did that well! :D Thanks for choosing us!
Incredible production.

Thank you!
Any questions?
We loved working with Toast! Communication with the team from day 1 was super easy and they kept us updated every step of the way. We went over all of our preferences and they truly perfected our video without needing any sort of re-do or updates and we love our wedding videos! Mae was our videographer for the day and they were somehow both a fly on the wall and got every important second we could’ve asked for.

Yeah! So glad you and Joshua are happy with your decision to go with us :) Thanks for taking the time to write a review!

I'm so glad you love your son's film! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
Toast wedding films arrived on time and the videographer was Wonderful and fun to work with. Letting them use there creativity allowed for them to capture wonderful videos of our wedding. During the editing phase they responded quickly and took in to account our opinion. Albeit we had to critique very little about there creation. I would recommend to friends and family and I would use again if I ever needed a videographer. Prices for items like this can be scary, but I promise they are worth every penny because it is something that lasts forever!

I'm so glad you love your film and that you ultimately did decide to get videography coverage :) Thanks for trusting us!
Toast wedding films did an amazing job capturing the most precious moments of my son’s wedding. I cry every time I watch it. The quality, professionalism and thoughtfulness they put into the production of the video was A+! I would highly recommend them for any special event.

I love when our films cause "happy tears"! That's the best part of our job :)
Toast was fantastic and really captured the magic of our wedding. Our cameraman was fun to work with and knew exactly the right spots to shoot from, and was super flexible when smoke and rain caused last minute changes. The final product was absolutely stunning - perfectly edited music and great story telling. Five stars!

We hired Toast to film my daughters wedding, and our videographer Jared was wonderful! He captured every precious moment without interrupting. A true professional!

I'm so glad you loved working with Jared! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
We absolutely loved working with Toast to film our wedding in South Lake Tahoe. Our videographer Jared was so kind, and fit right in with our crew through our whole wedding day. The video edits are absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for capturing our wedding day!
Response from the Vendor on 01/11/2023
Thank you Laura and Tyler for such a great review! We are so happy that you loved Jared (we do too!). Thank you for letting us be a part of your day. Your film is one of my all time favorites. I know the day was rainy, but it created such amaz...
ing shots! We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness.
I chose Toast based on all of the things that were included in their package and for the option to have a teaser video to share. I also thought the videos on their site looked great. On the day of the wedding our videographer was on the ball, super punctual, and comfortable to be around. Our video turned out so beautiful and we have loved being able to watch some of the special moments over since the day of the wedding was such a whirlwind.

Thanks so much for the kind words! So glad you like your film and our whole team!
We are SO happy that we chose Toast Wedding Films for our wedding videographer! They were so professional and amazing to work with throughout the entire process. They made sure to capture many details about the style of wedding video we wanted in advance and the final video was beyond our expectations! Our videographer, Jokarr, was extremely nice and professional, and Gail was such a pleasure to work with on coordinating everything - they both made it so easy and less stressful! Our video captured our special day so perfectly and we are so grateful that we have it to look back on. The pricing was also very reasonable compared to others we had looked at, and the final product quality was amazing! We truly cannot say enough great things!!

Hi Kelly! Thank you SO MUCH for such an amazing review. We really loved working with you and are so pleased that you loved the entire process! I'm thrilled you loved Jokarr (we do too!) and we thank you for all your kind words regarding our wor...
k with you. You both chose the perfect location and your film was stunning! We wish you and Zachary a lifetime of love and happiness!
We chose Toast Videography as the Videography service for our wedding based on how we felt about their gallery of videos of some of the past weddings they have covered. We really fell in love with the look of some of them, and the price was right, and they were available for our date! We had a Zoom call with Toast before we booked them, and afterwards felt confident that they could handle what we were looking for out of a wedding video, and that it would look great and we’d be happy with the result.
Toast sent us a pretty comprehensive questionnaire about a month before the wedding covering lots of details about locations, timing, priorities, bridal party, family, music choices, etc. They sent us an email the week of the wedding with the details of the videographer that would be actually covering and shooting the wedding, with all their contact info and details.
Michael was our DP for the day and he was a great guy. He introduced himself and we felt comfortable with him being around filming us, right off the bat. He was everywhere, capturing everything. He was a pleasure to have alongside us documenting every special moment of the day.
One of us works in film/tv and the idea for the videography for our wedding was that for cost purposes, we would just have it filmed, but not pay for an edit(s) rather, just have them send us all of the raw footage on a hard drive, and we could edit it ourselves on our own time. Unfortunately, Toast doesn’t offer a package where they just send you the footage - the cheapest/smallest package they offer is a 1 minute teaser edit, so we paid for the teaser video. The contract said that the teaser would arrive one month after the wedding. We got an email about a month after the wedding from Toast, saying they needed a few more days to finish the teaser edit because they have been so busy, which was not a big deal for us because we didn’t really want the teaser anyway, but was semi-frustrating since our expectation had been set that we were getting one. About a week or so later, we finally got a link to our teaser video and it looked great! It made us excited to see the rest of the footage, and to be able to edit our own video.
The option to have all the raw footage sent to us on a hard drive, costs extra so we paid for that - but the contract also says that they don’t mail it to you until 3 months after the wedding date. However, we did receive our hard drive with the footage about 1.5 months after the big day. Ultimately, we would recommend them for your own wedding celebrations.
Response from the Vendor on 01/10/2023
So glad you ultimately would still recommend us and are happy with your teaser and footage!
Our wedding video was absolutely perfect. I’m so happy we chose toast. They were so professional and organized and made our video so perfect!
Response from the Vendor on 01/12/2023
I'm so glad you love your film! I think it turned out so beautifully!
We are so glad we used Toast to film our wedding day! Throughout the entire booking and editing process, the team was very responsive to email and easy to work with. Kevin arrived on our wedding day and was great and pleasant to have around. He got a great mix of detail shots, scenery, and emotions. The editing process was super easy and we only made a couple of changes from the first edit. We were looking for a reasonably priced videographer and we got an amazing product for the price. We love both our short wedding video and long raw edit film and would definitely recommend Toast!

Hi Christina, I'm so glad you love your films! We enjoyed working with you guys and making your beautiful videos. Best of luck!
Toast Wedding Films perfectly captured our wedding on film! We were pleased with everything (from beginning to end) throughout the entire process of working with them.
Response from the Vendor on 01/12/2023
Yeah! so glad you loved working with us! :)
Zach and JD really took the time to understand what was important to us in our wedding video. Their style of shooting and editing shows not just the events of the day, but tells the story of the day in the process. We have already watched our video so many times, and will continue watching it!
