Darren and his entire team was amazing. We had to replan our wedding three times due to Covid and his team was incredibly supportive and easy to work with for each re-schedule, not to mention they did an incredible job capturing our wedding and the video edit was amazing. Were so happy we chose DMS to video our wedding!

I highly recommend DMS Video Productions! I had the pleasure of working with Darren and his amazing team for my son's Bar Mitzvah. From the outset, they were so organized, helpful, and accommodating. They created the most amazing and entertaining tribute video, compiling virtual interviews with close relatives, and well wishes from many friends. To quote my husband, "it was the best video he has ever seen." The livestream of our event was beyond any of my expectations. Our guests said they felt like they were attending the actual celebration, even though they were at their respective homes. Having

Sharing a milestone event with family and friends is a special challenge during this pandemic. DMS partnered with us to make it as inclusive and intimate as possible, and it was a joyous success. DMS was professional, organized, well-equipped and... artful. We couldn't have done it without them. Many guests told us that they felt even more a part of it then if we'd been able to have an in-person event. Thank you.

We had a fabulous experience with DMS. DMS was a pleasure to work with, the videographers at the wedding were friendly and professional. We love our wedding video, they captured our entire wedding day and did a fantastic job editing it into a beautiful film. They followed up multiple times to make sure we were happy and provided great customer service to us. Definitely worth the money and we are so glad DMS was a part of our wedding day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a wedding videographer.

Leading up to our big day, DMS was a pleasure to work with - the team was responsive and eager to provide us with high-quality services that best fit our needs and situation.
