My husband needed to find a videographer stat on a Sunday afternoon to shoot some film at an LPGA…read moreevent in Menlo Park. While he was panicking on the phone trying to find someone who knew a videographer, I did a Yelp search and decided to call Bay Tiger. I explained our "emergency" to Ken when he answered the phone. He said he could probably help us so I handed the phone over to my husband. They quickly worked out the details and agreed on a budget, at which point Ken abandoned his Sunday workout, got in the car and made it to Menlo Park in time to shoot the film that was needed. He also did some quick turnaround editing-as in overnight. While I didn't interact with him beyond the initial phone contact, my husband said that he was extremely professional and very good at what he does. I was tremendously impressed that not only did he answer his phone on a Sunday, he was willing to turn his day upside down to accommodate our request.

This past June 8th, we finally had the opportunity to hire and work with Ken, as it was our company's 3 Year Anniversary Party at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Video is a huge part of our vibe, as people from around the world need to see what all this hype is about. Ken certainly captured our day in review perfectly. He put more time and effort into it than we could have imagined. He was well-underpaid for his work ethic, production, shooting capabilities and editing. What Ken is excellent at is reading our vibe...our feel...and making sure we, the customer, are very happy with the output. Video is our best source of marketing and Ken has put together our best marketing piece yet. I am safe and relieved to say, we have found our man!!!! I HIGHLY recommend Ken for any event you may have, as he will give you quality shots, great energy, excellent editing and a heart to make sure you are happy with the final piece. Thanks Ken!!! Until our next shoot!!! Matt

Mared, Viet & team were phenomenal to work with. We were on the hunt for a customizable reception…read morevenue, and happened to come across Mac House. I sent an email one night and got a response from Mared so quickly that it almost felt too good to be true. While some brides want the all-inclusive venue with everything provided, I really didn't care about expensive fancy chairs, in-house catering, florals, etc. I just wanted a space that allowed me to DIY as much as I could. Mac House provided me with the perfect blank slate that actually ended up having some bells and whistles that helped elevate my basic set-up, like customizable lighting and a convenient roll-up door that served as the perfect spot for our taco caterer. The team was very friendly and accommodating throughout the entire process and made me feel so comfortable in their space. Following their Instagram page, I learned that, aside from the amazing video production work they do, they are also involved in a variety of humanitarian initiatives. I'm happy to have been introduced to such an interesting local business and will stay in touch, even if just to root them on in their endeavors.

The #1 perk about Mac House has to be the flexibility of the space. Not only is there a large open…read morelobby, but there's also an entire studio in the back waiting to be decorated. The studio was large enough for 100 or so guests, 13 tables, two bars (one alcohol and one water/coffee/tea, and food buffet - plus a dance floor for everyone to dance on. Best of all, unlike many venues, you're welcome to use any vendor (party rentals, catering, etc) that you want. This was a huge plus for us! With a little imagination, we were able to transform the entire space to fit the 'Dancing Under The Stars' theme we dreamt up for our wedding reception. Since they're a video production studio, it was super easy talking with them about how to light the entire space. At the end of that night, my wife and I, and all our guests had the most wonderful evening!

Under a tight deadline, Sean prepared a series of video montages for the event, filmed the live event (including multiple camera angles), and created a beautiful video of the event that will serve as a lasting way to remember our beloved family member. Not only was the video work of excellent quality, but Sean was fantastic to work with -- I had some very specific ideas around both the montages as well as the final video and Sean was incredibly collaborative, open to feedback, and easy to work with to make sure what was delivered was what we were looking for. Also, his rates were reasonable... I felt he was very fair in what he charged, especially given the very high quality. We're very, very happy with the final product and grateful for Sean for all the hard (and good) work he put into this. I highly recommend Kurtela Video Productions!

Contacted Midpen Media Center to schedule recording of a 5 min video, a short project that might likely take under five hours. Doug, the videographer, and wanted to ask me a few questions. He decided that he would record it, after he got back from vacation. He said would help me after I moved, a few weeks later. I expressed that I would rather do it sooner. Sept 14, received an estimate from Loise. Sept 23, received an invoice. Sept 23, asked Lupita about availability and schedule for the project. Lupita said Louise would help me answer that. Sep 26, received email from Louise that Doug had taken another job. Sept 30, received email from Louise that their staff was still pretty cautious. Louise encouraged me to get a friend to record something for me. Oct 14, explained that I was confused by that reasons that keep changing and that I want to record my video. Oct 14, Louise wrote back to tell me that, for a variety of reasons, they are afraid they can't do it for me. First it was Doug wanting to take a vacation. Turns out, Doug actually took a bigger project. Then the problem was that the staff was "still cautious". Then the problem was a variety of unspecified reasons. I feel like I was discriminated against.
