What This Is—And Isn’t

    • Traditional videography capturing ceremony and posed shots

    • DIY video booths with tablets, poor lighting, and awkward shoutouts

    • Any coverage that overlaps with your photographer or videographer

    • A standalone film crafted from unscripted guest interviews

    • Professionally filmed, gently directed conversations in a private setting

    • A fresh emotional layer with zero timeline conflicts or overlap

How It Works

  • Choose up to 10 guests—family, friends, or anyone who truly knows your story. Ten heartfelt voices create a powerful keepsake.

  • While guests dine or mingle, we quietly set up in a low-traffic spot. No cables, no footprint, no timeline conflicts, and no help needed from your planner or other vendors.

  • Each guest shares a story or memory in a relaxed 5-minute interview. Professionally directed, gently paced, and never rushed. It’s a conversation, not a performance.

  • After the wedding, we weave your guests’ voices into a 7–10 minute narrative, more than a collection of clips, a thoughtfully paced story you’ll cherish forever.

    To preserve the flow, only the finished film is delivered, no raw footage.

  • You'll receive a private, shareable link to your finished film. Easy to watch, download, and send to everyone who was part of the story. A one-of-a-kind keepsake, ready when you are.

A Seamless Add-On Planners Can Trust

Your timeline is full. We won’t add to it.

The Spoken Toast is a fully self-contained experience that delivers something extraordinary without any extra effort on your part. We quietly set up, indoor or outdoor, after dinner or speeches and film beautiful interviews. No disruption. No cables. No power needs. Zero setup on your part.

We’re not a replacement for photography or video. Think of this as the emotional version of a guestbook, filmed professionally and edited into a 7-10 minute story your couple will treasure.

✅ Zero effort from you.

✅ Zero overlap with other vendors.

✅ 100% emotional impact for them.

We work independently, respectfully, and behind the scenes, so you can focus on the flow, not one more moving piece.

The Legacy Gift They’ll Rewatch for a Lifetime

The best wedding gift isn’t wrapped, it’s remembered.

The Spoken Toast lets you give your child a keepsake that grows more meaningful over time: the voices of the people who love them most, beautifully captured and preserved. It’s more than a wedding video. It’s their story, in the words of those who lived it with them.

Long after the last dance, this is what they'll hold on to. A wedding gift they'll treasure forever.

  • Not at all. We fully encourage couples to hire a photographer and videographer to capture the visuals and events of the day.

    The Spoken Toast is a completely separate experience that’s filmed later in the evening and built entirely from guest reflections. While your media team documents the day, we craft a one-of-a-kind keepsake film made entirely from the guest interviews.

    No overlap. No disruption. Just a deeper emotional layer that stands on its own.

  • Not even a little. We film quietly in a low-traffic area, usually after dinner, speeches, and well outside the main event flow.

    Our setup is self-contained and cordless. There’s no need for your planner or other vendors to coordinate with us. We handle everything, start to finish.

  • Not even close. Those setups often involve tablets, poor lighting, awkward shoutouts; plus, couples usually have to manage the setup and return the equipment themselves. The footage is usually raw, uneven, and forgettable.

    The Spoken Toast is different, gently directed interviews, professionally lit and filmed, and crafted into a story-first keepsake with clear audio and refined polish.

  • A 7–10 minute film built entirely from professionally filmed guest interviews.

    It’s not a highlight reel, it’s a standalone reflection with intentional pacing, full of honest, heartfelt stories from the people who shared the day with you.

  • Typically during a 2-hour window later in the reception, after formalities like dinner or speeches. We find the right moment that fits naturally with your flow, no timeline conflicts, no stress.

  • Up to 10 guests. Anyone you want to hear from. It’s just the right number to create something meaningful and beautifully paced.

  • Around 5 minutes per guest. Enough time for real stories to emerge without feeling long or formal. It feels like a conversation, not a performance.

  • Absolutely. You’re welcome to suggest specific themes or topics ahead of time, or let us guide it. Many couples enjoy being surprised by what their loved ones choose to share.

  • We don’t deliver raw interviews. They include off-camera prompts and aren’t meant to stand alone.

    Instead, we focus on crafting a complete story that flows beautifully and feels intentional from start to finish.

  • Definitely not. The Spoken Toast is an independent service that doesn’t overlap with any other vendors. We don’t film the wedding itself or take up any traditional videographer/photographer territory. We set up in a separate, low-traffic space using compact, cordless gear, no cables, no overlapping schedules, no disruption to anyone’s workflow. We communicate with your team to ensure everything flows smoothly and seamlessly.

  • 7 to 10 minutes. Just enough time to bring it all together in one emotional, cohesive story you’ll want to watch again and again.

  • Yes. From large weddings to elopements and micro-weddings, The Spoken Toast adapts easily. If you have meaningful voices in the room, we can help tell your story.

  • Nope. We also create Spoken Toasts for rehearsal dinners, retirement parties, anniversaries, and more.

    Wherever stories are shared, we can capture them.

  • You’ll receive a private, shareable link to a digital gallery where you can view, download, and share your final film easily.
