Why guests, not a crew

There is no moving footage of them young

Weddings before the mid-eighties came home as a photo album and nothing else. Most couples marking forty or fifty years have never watched themselves move at that age, and their grandchildren have never heard the story told out loud by the people it happened to. One dinner fixes the second half of that.

Who should hold a camera: Put one camera on the tabletop tripod in a quiet corner as an interview station and ask every guest to leave one memory in it before they go. The second stays at the table, which is where the stories actually get told.

What tends to end up in the film
  • Them telling the story of how they met, for the hundredth time
  • Four generations at one table, all talking at once
  • The grandchildren interviewing them on the couch
  • The toast that goes ten minutes too long, correctly
  • Them dancing to the song from the actual wedding

Your guests get a plan, not a lecture

Every anniversary kit ships with table cards that explain the camera in one sentence and name six things worth pointing it at. It's a seated dinner, so the cards go at the place settings — which is also how the relatives who hate being filmed end up filming something.

Every voice at the table, in one film

The interview clips, the toast that runs ten minutes too long, four generations talking over each other. All of it comes back to us and our editors cut it into something the family can still play in twenty years.

★★★★★

My father is not a talker. Someone put a camera in front of him at the end of the night and he spoke for six minutes about my mother. That clip is the whole reason we did this.

Packages

Pick a package

Priced by cameras, not hours. Most anniversaries book two — it's one long table, not a multi-room event. If you're mainly working from old photographs and home video, editing-only is the package you want.

What you’re comparing it against. A videographer for a day like this runs $2,300 to $4,000 — that’s the US wedding average from The Knot and Zola, and the closest published benchmark there is. Four cameras, four mics, shipping both ways and the edited film is $795.

If there isn't enough footage, you don't pay for the film. If the kit comes back without enough usable material to cut a film, we refund your order minus a 20% restocking fee on the package price — the kit was held and shipped for a date we couldn't rent to anyone else. Add-ons are refunded in full. It's rare, and we show you what came back before we make that call.
Questions

Anniversary specifics

Can the film include old photographs or home video?

Yes, and on this event it's usually the better opening. Send scans or a transfer of whatever exists — the wedding album, an 8mm reel someone had digitised — and we'll build them into the front of the film before the dinner footage starts. If that's all you have and there's no party, editing-only covers just the edit.

Our guests are in their eighties. Can they actually work these?

One button. Press to start, press to stop, wrist strap on. There is no phone, no app, no pairing, no menu and nothing to sign into, which is a bigger deal for this guest list than for any other event we ship to. The camera focuses and steadies itself.

Can we set a camera up as an interview station and leave it?

That's the format most anniversaries end up using. Tabletop tripod, quiet corner, one printed question next to it, and people will talk to it all evening. Add the prompt cards at checkout if you want the question written for you. The camera shuts itself off if it sits untouched for a while, so it won't run flat waiting.

It's a two-hour lunch, not a party. Is there enough to cut?

Yes — more than a party of the same length, usually. An interview station running for two hours produces more usable material than four hours of a dance floor, because people are speaking to camera instead of moving past it. Two cameras is the right size for it.

We're renewing vows and having dinner the same day.

One kit covers both. Keep one camera on the tabletop tripod for the renewal itself so you have a steady wide angle, and let the second one move. Tell us both parts are on the same day and we'll cut them as one film.

These are the anniversary questions. Booking, shipping, batteries, sound, returns and delivery are all answered in the full question list. Filming something else? See all event types.
