Hire a local event videographer
A videographer turns your event into a short film you can share. Tell EVE your date, venue and the length of film you want, and local videographers who are free that day come to you.
What's usually included
- Multi-camera coverage of the key moments
- Wireless audio for speeches and vows
- Edited highlight film (typically 3–8 minutes) plus optional full-length edit
- Licensed music and colour-graded delivery
How much does it cost?
Event videography in the US typically ranges from $500–$1,500 for a short-form highlight film, and $1,500–$4,000+ for full wedding coverage with two operators.
These are indicative US ranges — the quotes you receive on EVE come directly from local providers for your date, city and guest count.
How to choose the right one
- Watch a full film start to finish — pacing and audio quality separate professionals from hobbyists.
- Ask which deliverables are included: highlight film, full ceremony, social cuts.
- Agree on drone use early; some venues require permits.
How hiring works on EVE
- 1. Post your event. Date, city, guest count and what you need — it takes a couple of minutes and costs nothing.
- 2. Get applications. Local videographers who are actually free on your date apply with their portfolio and price.
- 3. Message and book. Chat directly, compare, and book the one you like. You pay the provider, not EVE.
Frequently asked questions
Should I hire the photographer and videographer separately?
Either works. A team that has worked together before is smoother, but hiring separately gives you the best of each. On EVE you can post one request and receive applications from both categories.
How far in advance should I book videographers?
For weekend and holiday dates, 4–8 weeks ahead is comfortable. For smaller weekday events, one to two weeks is often enough. On EVE you can post your date and see who is actually available before you commit.
Do I pay EVE to find videographers?
No. Posting an event request, receiving applications, and messaging providers is free for clients. You pay the provider directly, on the terms you agree with them.
