We hired AV7 Wedding to provide the lighting for our reception and it was nothing but top notch! I can say we looked at a lot of lightning companies and we found AV7 to have the best equipment and we were so impressed by all of the non wedding stuff that they do it really added to how they set up the look in our room. It wasn't just throw some lights against the wall and call it a day!!! they really took the time to design our rooms look and work with us on the day of the wedding to make sure the color we chose worked best for us.

WORST PHOTOGRAPHER AND COMPANY EVER! Do not hire them. This is a long testimonial but it's worth reading if you're considering hiring AV7. First I'll start with the salesperson that we met with. As reviewed the different packages we were concerned with the 8 hour limit. He told us not to worry about it, that is was just to protect them from some ethnic weddings that can last multiple days. We told him we needed someone for 10 hours and he told us no problem. But at 9PM in the middle of our reception the photographer came up to me and said she was leaving because her time was up. We had her call her boss and the salesperson and they both lied and said no, she had to leave. Our photographer, Jennifer, was very good at taking still shots of objects, but of people...not so much. When we met her before the wedding she made us feel comfortable that she loved what she did and was good at it. She was excited that we wanted her to use some creativity, but in reality she had no clue what to do. We had to tell her what to do and where to take photos. She had no ability to coordinate the people or get all the photos done on time. We have great pictures of our rings, but most of the key moments of the wedding she missed. We have better photos from our friend's cameras than we do from hers. If all this wasn't bad enough, it took 12 weeks to get our photos! The contract says 3 weeks, but the company took no responsibility nor action to get us our photos. It took 9 weeks to see them online for the first time. And if it wasn't for my wife calling the photographer every day it probably would have taken longer than 12 weeks. No professionalism, no integrity, no ethics, horrible service...what more do I need to say. My rating of 0.5 is generous.

Our lighting looked beautiful. So elegant, so perfect, just true beauty! We haven't received the video back yet but I can't wait to see it. Every step of the way they have stayed in contact with us. Even to let us know they are still working on the many hours of video taken.
Our guests were true blown out of the water when the sun went down and the tent was a beautiful burgundy color. It fit the wedding and fit our personalities. Lighting truly adds that little extra touch of elegancy to any wedding.

STAY AWAY. We booked this company for our wedding videography over a year in advance. As questions popped up, we could not get ahold of them and no one would return our calls for over 4 months. They were always rude and often clueless. They had the wrong phone number for me, the wrong year for the wedding, and the wrong time for the ceremony despite my MANY attempts to reach them to fix the contract changes. When I received the "confirmation call" a few days before the wedding things were STILL not fixed on our contract and they told me they still needed final payment- AFTER the check had already been cashed by the company. Still waiting to hear if they "found" the payment or not. It's been a month since the wedding and we have not received the first video yet. When I emailed to check the status of the initial video- I was informed There was a problem with the editing process which delayed everything. When I emailed to inquire about the problem- and to make sure they hadn't deleted the video at this point (which would NOT shock me right now)- I received an email full of attitude from a girl explaining the editing process. I understand the editing process- but excuse me for having a slight concern after not being able to speak to ANYBODY from this company for 4 months. If there is a problem- let me know. I'm shocked to hear that other people were notified of problems with their video. Not dealing with it. I just want to be done with this company. It is not worth the stress. Nothing but
problems from everybody - this vendor is NOT recommended for videography service. Not responsible, poor customer service and just an overall headache.

STAY AWAY PLEASE. My wedding was almost 6 months ago and I just received my FINAL video from AV7 weddings YESTERDAY, middle of november. I cried while watching my video- not from joy. Despite my many conversations with the owner DAN- my wedding video is an absolute disaster. Below you will find some of the many run ins we have had with this company- I am so exhausted with them and I would never wish this company upon any future bride.

- YOU WILL NEVER GET AHOLD OF ANYBODY FROM THIS COMPANY. Months went by and nobody would return my phone calls or emails. The owner was always "out of town"-- I'm sorry...aren't you running a business?

- WHen they called to confirm our event they said they needed final payment for the event-- but they had already CASHED the final payment check?

- The owner Dan YELLED at both myself and my father- saying that the hold up for the video was our fault? This man is so arrogant and unprofessional it is useless trying to get anywhere with him. We called to try to find out where the video was since it had been 3 months since we had heard anything from them. He told me they were waiting for a PICTURE to put on the cd? First of all they never told us they needed a picture...and it wasn't the final cd-- so whats the hold up here. He told me he left it on a voicemail that he left me- I went back and listened to that voicemail...NOTHING was mentioned-- just that "he's sorry that I teach during the day and can't talk during normal business hours".

- My video is SO black and fuzzy you cannot even tell who is in the video. Come to find out...the individuals I cannot make out are my grandparents, husband parents and bridal party. It's shameful that this is what they gave me.

- 15 minutes of my video of the reception is a STILL SHOT of one individual couple dancing. I'm taking this is the footage caught while the videographer was eating...But don't worry...the footage is so DARK and BLURRY I can't really tell who they are.

- They don't even have my mom walking down the aisle in the church?? OR my husband and I exiting the church after we were pronounced husband and wife. What I have for that moment...is the back of one of my guests heads and the ACTUAL VOICE of the videographer saying something.

- After 4 edits and constant requests from this company to put my bouquet toss in the video- IT IS STILL ABSENT. They won't even answer me when I ask them if they even have the footage.

- The footage is SHAKY and again, dark...bad editing..TERRIBLE. You can't see so many main events- like gee...the garter toss...and like I said-- my bouquet toss is just plain missing and they won't respond to whether or not they have the footage.

Please stay away from AV7 weddings. This is a terrible, shady company who refuses to answer phone calls and emails. I only have experience with their videography. After months of having issues with this company not ONE apology was ever given to myself, husband or family who has been trying to get a video from them. DAN always claims to be "out of town" and doesn't know whats going on-- and when you do get ahold of him, watch out because he will yell at you and talk over you like an arrogant human being.

ALSO- they tell you that they now have the option to receive your video copies in Blue Ray for an extra $100. So we chose to do this (before we had so many problems with them). We get our videos YESTERDAY and 1 of the 5 is Blue Ray..and even that is questionable. So I paid you $100 for 1 Blue Ray DVD? Yea right...

Stay away at all costs. I wouldn't wish the anxiety, frustration or unprofessionalism from this company on my worst enemy. It is ridiculous-- and to be honest I will probably NEVER watch this video again. What a shame...

Thank GOD I had a great wedding photographer.

We didn't have a lot of money and wanted to get a video of our wedding and we called AV7 last minuet and they treated us like we were spending millions with them. We originally didn't sign up to have our dvd sent to us in high definition and even two months after our wedding we called and they informed us that they shot our wedding in High Def anyway and they were able to send us a copy on Blu Ray! Very Professional and great price for my video!

My wife and I used av7weddings for our videography and lighting. The lighting was great and we loved the video. We got our proof copy of the video very quick (in fact I think it was waiting here when we got back from our honeymoon. Once we sent our list of edits we wanted the final video took a little long to get us but it looked great. Defiantly a company I'd work with again...(Not that I'm getting married again!!!)

AV7 Did an amazing job on our video. We found them to be nothing less than very professional and the product that was sent to us was awesome. Our favorite part is the extras section make sure you get one with your video! You wont be disappointed.

Expensive, but you certainly get what you pay for.
