Professional & friendly service - would recommend!

The process of booking was fairly seamless. On the day Jamie our videographer was very calm and never intrusive, yet he managed to capture some fabulous moments as well as getting around so many of our guests. We were so happy to have all the speeches on camera, the audio is really clear also. we are looking forward to re-watching them in years to come! Thank you for such a great experience!

Masters of their craft!

Pav was the videographer at our wedding and he did THE most incredible job. He was so friendly and immediately put us both at ease.

We chose Songbird because the editing is always done flawlessly and the video footage itself looked so natural in all the clips we saw. As expected, our video came out exactly as we’d hoped. We’re so happy with it and couldn’t recommend choosing these guys enough. An 100/10 service!

Great End to End Experience and High-End Videos

Songbird Wedding Videos was our first choice videographers and they did us proud.

Before the day, Rachael checked in to ensure she had the latest itinerary and introduced Pav who arrange a call to run through our day. On the day, Pav was a ninja. He was barely noticeable, as everyone noted, but clearly captured everything and worked really well with our photographer.

The outcome? Great videography and clever editing, not limited to the sound overlay of the ceremony, speeches and music in the highlight version. We look like celebrities! The quality in the highlight and long edit is amazing and watching them brings all the joy and emotion back. On top of this, what really helped us remember the day (and see the things we actually missed), was the raw footage. We're still going through them now, memory by memory.

We'll be proudly sharing and watching our videos again and again. Thank you Racheal, Pav & Team!

Amazing wedding video

We hired songbird for our wedding and from the start they were nothing but amazing, helpful and friendly. On the day both videographers were amazing and fitted in perfectly making not only me but my husband feel so at ease with everything as non of us are great having our pictures taken let alone being recorded. After receiving the footage back i have watched it on repeat gosh knows how many times and cried a million more happy tears it is just incredible, Jamie delivered us with the most perfect videos i could of asked for. I also paid for speedy delivery as i’m very inpatient and everything was delivered on time. I’d recommend these to anyone.

Must-have wedding film makers

Absolutely fabulous... from booking, to the final edit, their communication and professionalism was fantastic. Jamie captured our day beautifully and the final edits captured the most special moments. We couldn't be more grateful to Songbird Wedding Videos and would thoroughly recommend!

Amazing! Everything we didn't even know we wanted!

We decided last minute that we wanted a videographer for our wedding, and after seeing all the great reviews, we were so happy that Songbird had availability for us.
Rachael has been wonderful throughout, and Pav the videographer was great, he was friendly, calm and captured our day perfectly. We were over the moon when we received our wedding videos, and have enjoyed showing family, reliving the day all over again.
Choosing Songbird was one of the best decisions we made, and we will cherish our videos forever.

In love with our wedding videos!

Songbird Wedding Videos covered our wedding in June 2022 and we absolutely love the end result! Everyone said we would regret not having videographer and we can totally see why. The videos feel personal, are well edited and really show the emotion from our day. We had an excellent experience from the outset, from the initial consultation with Rachael through to our Videographer Alex on the day. Alex was professional, friendly and came up with some excellent suggestions for shots. We received our videos not even 12 weeks after our wedding and it has been lovely to re-live our day. Thank you so much again!

Do not opt for the 'speedy' delivery option

Songbird was the videographer for our wedding in April 2022. They were recommended to us through another supplier. They operate with contracted videographers who would film the event, and the footage is later edited by the owner, Rachael. On top of the standard package, we also opted for the drone and the ‘speedy delivery’ options, both at an additional cost. Specifically, the speedy delivery option would ‘guarantee’ all videos within 1 month of wedding date.

Although we did receive the first draft of the highlights within the agreed timeframe, the quality of it was unacceptable. It was rushed, hastily put together, and some basic requirements were not met. For example, despite reminding the videographer that we didn't want the crying noise of a baby guest during the vow exchange; to our horror, the raw, unedited audio of the baby crying was just ‘cut and pasted’ onto the first draft. It sounded absolutely horrendous when overlaid with soft wedding music. Also, they had only included a mere seconds of the drone shots (why would we pay so much for only seconds of this?), didn't adjust the volume during the speeches to match with the rest of the video, and didn't include some of the major moments of our day. Instead, some random guest footage/cheesy dancing shots were included, which disrupted the flow of the video. Mind you, these are basic requirements of a basic wedding video, and not our personal preference.

It took us a very long time reviewing this first draft, and it was very stressful and tiring going through the video. It made us quite angry and shocked. Honestly, it took away the joy of our day and instead, we felt like we were basically directing the video ourselves, when Songbird were hired to do so, professionally. Over the course of the year, 2 more edits were made; again, each time it took us a long time to review and give feedback. While the communication was polite, it was not an enjoyable experience, when this should’ve been a joyful reminder of our special day. At times we were fearful to watch the video because of the sheer amount of stress associated with it. There were a few months gap in communication between the 2nd and final 3rd draft because of this - Songbird did not follow up with us. We chased up towards the end of 2022 ourselves to wrap this up. They did fix up all the issues at the end, which left us with mixed feelings - if they are equipped to do this, why didn’t they do it in the beginning?

When the final edit was finally ready, we expressed our dissatisfaction with the poor quality of the first draft, and told them we felt that we were penalised for having opted for the 'speedy' delivery. We politely requested a refund for the speedy delivery fee. We had felt this way since the day they sent us that dreaded first draft, but was afraid they would not fix the video if we had expressed this earlier. However, Songbird pulled out the virtual contract that we had initially signed (the link to which has since expired), quoted that they had gone ‘above and beyond’ for us, and that they didn’t charge us any extra for the subsequent editing work, which usually costs £50/hour.

Honestly at this point, we’re just glad that we finally have a video to show family and friends. We found it absolutely ridiculous that they could just deliver such poor quality work with no justification (proven by the fact that the all of the issues were fixed in the end). Essentially you’re paying extra for a quick mesh up/poor draft, and as a ‘goodwill of gesture’ they will fix it up for you ‘for free’? If you’re unable to deliver an acceptable finished product within the expedited timeframe, do not offer this! We feel responsible to share our story so other couples can BE WARNED. Would have given one star if not for the videographer on the day, Jamie, who was great to work with. But that’s about it. All the subsequent stress, grief, and anger were not worth it.

We’ve just received the USB for all the footage - 11 months after our wedding. Thank god it's over now.

Captured our day perfectly!

Songbird are amazing! From the moment we booked with them Rachael has been so kind and helpful. Always quick to reply to us when we needed to postpone our date. On the day our videographer, Rhodri, was so kind and professional! You wouldn't have even known he was there on the day and yet he managed to capture everything perfectly. Yes the wait for the edited videos was long but understandable and it was more than worth it. We couldn't be happier. Thank you so much!
