Silver Screen Events

Silver Screen Events was absolutely the best decision we made out of all our wedding vendors! Everything that involved them went smoothly, and we were thrilled with the results. Our main photographer (Serge) and videographer (Don), were very professional and reliable. They were very enthusiastic about their job and very positive throughout the day - a very helpful quality in the midst of wedding day craziness. We just received our photos and video in the mail last night (3 weeks after our wedding!!!!!!) and we loved everything we saw. There was so much variety (almost 2000 pictures), and we saw things that we didn't even get a chance to notice at the actual wedding. Serge was able to capture every moment in such beautiful and glamorous ways! Watching the video was like getting to relieve the entire day over and actually notice every aspect. The video was edited very professionally. There were a variety of angles, interesting transitions, background music, and more - it was truly an experience. Thank you to Silver Screen - Dave, Serge, Don, and Mikhail for doing such an amazing job and for capturing our special day so perfectly! We will definitely recommend them to all our friends and family!

SilverScreen was phenomenal!!! I can't even explain how awesome our videographers and photographers were!!! We also rented the photo booth from them, which was great and sooo much fun! I was 100% satisfied with them!!

The entire staff was extremely helpful, very courteous, very attentive, and they also kept it light with humor. It was very encouraging to us knowing that our memories were being captured in a very professional manner.

Barry was incredible. I have recommended both Silver Screen Events and Barry to others and will continue to do so. Barry represented your company exceptionally. We were impressed by his professionalism and his ability to put music which reflected our suggestions. I do not believe the dance floor was empty the moment the music started, which speaks volume of Barry's ability. Barry's part in our wedding celebration helped to make the entire day memorable! Thank you.

My husband and I couldn't be happier with our wedding photos! We just picked up our album a few weeks ago and I can't put it down! The detail and quality is amazing! Both of the photographers were really great and had wonderful ideas. The staff is very helpful and courtious. Our wedding video is so beautiful. Our whole family was in tears! I have recommended Silver Screens to every one I know who is getting married:)

Although my now husband and I were engaged for 3 years, we had finally decided on a wedding date 6 weeks out! To me, photography was one of the most important aspects of our wedding, so we had searched frantically for wedding photographers online and met with a few companies. None of them seemed to be a good fit. I happened to come across Silver Screen Events online after searching for photographers near our wedding venue (Arlington Park Racecourse in Arlington Heights) and everything fell into place from there! I called them late on a weeknight and the owner (David) was very helpful and willing to work with us with such short notice. We viewed the photographers albums on their website, selected a few that had the style we were looking for, and then scheduled an appt. to get things rolling that weekend. We didn't plan to get a video since we thought it would be too expensive. Their package was so affordable that we were able to get that service too and I'm so happy we did! It's amazing to be able to experience our vows again and again and see everyone dancing and having a great time! Serge was our main photographer. Not only did he capture some really great pics the day of our wedding, we had asked him to come back out the following weekend to capture some pics that we didn't get to take because I was running very late the day of our wedding. He went above and beyond, took extra time to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. We showed him some pics that we really liked from other weddings we'd seen and he was able to help us capture those for ourselves. Very friendly and open to the shots you want to capture. Be sure to make a list ahead of time and let your photographer know exactly what you want and any special pics you need with family members. Both of my photographers were friendly and helpful and I'd definitely use them again. Don was our videopgrapher and was super helpful! Our wedding was in October and there was a big chance of rain for our outdoor ceremony. After talking with him on the phone about the rain plan, he wanted to ensure that everything would work out properly as far as the video was concerned. So he made a special trip to our venue the week before to look at the indoor and outdoor spaces in person so he could plan accordingly for the equipment and set-up needs. Overall, I was very happy with the photographs and video and I highly recommend Silver Screen Events! Definitely a great value for 2 photographers, 2 videographers, multiple locations and rights to the digital negatives to print your own pics.

We absolutely loved Silver Screen for our wedding. It was so convenient and great to go to one appointment and set up three of the major vendors for our wedding (men surely appreciate this). Once we were assigned our photographers, dj, and videographer, they contacted us months in advance. I was able to get in touch with my vendors any time and they were prompt in returning my phone calls. On the day of, everyone was on time and a pleasure to work with. We could not have been happier or gotten more for our money.

Silver Screens is a professional company with wonderful people. We had the photobooth and it was the hit of the wedding. Every time I looked over there was a line. The photographers were great. We were in a time crunch and the photographers were able to get all of the best pictures i could've imagined. I recommend Silver Screens without a doubt! Wonderful people to work with!!

Overall I was completely satisfied with the Professionalism, quality of photos and coordination the day of the event!

The photographer took a LOT of pictures, which was great. However, something I was disappointed in was that he didn't take any pictures of me with each of my girls in the wedding party. I would think that a professional photographer would remember one of the most common pictures to take at a wedding. Also, I had a few big group shots with family where you are not able to see everyone in the group. He didn't take the initative to place people in the best spot for the picture. The videographer did a very nice job over all.

I should start by saying that I do really like a lot of the pictures that were taken on my wedding day and the value couldn't have been beaten by any photographer in the area. However, I feel like our photographer, in particular, was on his own agenda. There were more photos of my bridal party fist pumping than I would have liked. These photos simply wasted precious daylight and killed time for other photos that I would have wanted. There was also a bit of a language barrier between my photographer with a thick Russian accent and my ring bearer and flower girl who primarily speak Spanish. This seemed to agrivate our photographer when the kids couldn't understand the direction the photographer was trying to give them. This company does produce some great resluts, but if you go with them, make sure you have a list of photos that you want taken and keep your lead photographer on a short leash!

I would not recommend this company to anyone. The owner Dave is a middle man that sub contracts out ammature photographers and videographers. He charged us 4200 w/ a photo album. It was such a bad experience that people in the wedding even commented on how bad they were before they even saw any pictures. They had our video done is 3 weeks and it shows, there is no thought or creativity at all. Most of my friends video takes 6 months to get back, that shows what kind of work he does. They want payment in full 1 month before the event because if you had to pay after you would never because its a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!!! THEY RUINED OUR MEMORIES !!!!
