Pros: Professional, Creative
Cons: None
Our wedding was in May 4th, in Riviera Maya and received our video just few months later in August! Very VERY happy with the quality and craftsmanship! We gave them some instruction and everything was perfect!! The drone footage is our favorite! They really know what they were doing! The short version of the video captured the most memorable moments and the long one (almost an hour long) had all the details. We needed to make few changes and Mike get back to me right away and helped finishing up

Pros: Quality, Communication, Price
Cons: None
When my husband and I started planning our destination wedding in Cancun, I was set on having a video of our ceremony to share with relatives that couldn't attend in person (and for our memories). I looked at the resort's photography and videography options and was concerned that they were pretty expensive for a limited amount of time and I wasn't sure what the skill level would be. My cousin mentioned that her friend had used Mike Cantarell and Cancun Wedding Video. She showed me her friend'

Pros: Beautiful Video (pro #1!), on time, accomodating, communicative
Cons: None
Cancun Wedding Video and Mike Cantarell specifically were recommended to us by our photographers as they were the folks that they used when people ordered packages. We weren't doing a package because we didn't feel we needed the videographer for the same amount of time as our photographer. Mike worked with us through our photographers on the time allotment and went over very clearly the cost and what we would get at the end. On the recommendation of our photographers we hired them and could not

I cant even begin to describe how nervous I felt booking a vendor I never met before. Let me TELL YOU. IT WAS THE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE. Mike and his team were amazing. They showed up on time, was comfortable with them as a matter of fact you did not even know they were there. I was so excited to get my video. THE QUALITY THE MOMENTS THE VIDEO WILL BE A LIFETIME memory I will treasure and cherish forever. Mike you are incredible and I am so glad I chose you to make these memories happen. If

Pros: Flexible
Cons: Took awhile to get the video (but sooo worth the wait)
We hired Cancun Video to capture our wedding in December at Finest Playa Mujeres resort. They were very professional, gave us different package options and were very easy to work with. Jerry did a superb job capturing our special day. Jerry and his assistant worked really hard and captured the most amazing shots. They knew exactly the time and location for the best sunset pictures and during the ceremony we barely even noticed the cameras next to us which kept the ceremony intimate while sti

When we were planning our wedding having a videographer was at the top of our list because we knew a lot of couples who regretted not hiring one for their wedding. Making sure we hired the right person to capture the most important day of our lives was very important to us. When we stumbled upon mikecantarellfilms website we fell in love. All the Same day edits were amazing. We literally ended up going through all of them. There was something about the videos that just stood out from all the oth

We received our wedding highlight video for our December wedding at Beach Palace last week and it is AMAZING!!!! We absolutely love it and it has captured our day PERFECTLY! Every single important moment was included from getting ready, the ceremoney, the speeches and the reception! The music and images were seemlessly blended together and I cannot stop watching it because it brings me back to that wonderful day! Mike and his crew were great to work with up to the wedding, on the day of the wedd

We had our wedding in January at Azul Fives and Mike was fantastic to work with! Initially videography was not in our budget but in the end it became a really high priority as my mom and my husband's parents couldn't make it to our wedding due to health reasons. We were able to squeeze it into our budget but found ourselves with only a month to find the perfect videography team to capture our wedding. Mike was recommended to us by our photographers Photos in Cancun and luckily Mike was available

Pros: Everything

My Husband and I could not more than happier with Mike's work and professionalism. He was amazing to work with. Not once did we have any issues. Planning a wedding in a different country for us as we live in the U.S can be very difficult. We were looking for a certain type of video and as soon as I found Mike's website. I immediately fell in love with the style of his work. I felt as looking at other videographer vendors his work was by far the best. Mike also made this experience very easy. He

Pros: Responsiveness, Quality, Quickness
Cons: None
Planning a destination wedding can be stressful. Many times you have to pick out flowers, decor, venue, photographer/videographer, going off of pictures or recommendations. Mike Cantarell was referred to me by one of my close friends. I was having a difficult time finding someone who not only was in our price range but provided amazing shots/footage! I am so happy I chose MIke Cantarell and his Wife, Claudia, to capture our special day! Both Mike and Claudia quickly responded to emails, which ma

Pros: Everything!!!!
Cons: Honestly, just paying the extra resort fees to have them but it was WORTH EVERY PENNY! Don't regret it AT ALL!
I have to say when I was planning a destination wedding in Mexico, finding the perfect videographer and photographer was the hardest thing. The resort I stayed at only allowed their local photographer and if I wanted someone else, I would have to pay an additional fee which was ridiculous. My husband is a photographer himself in Canada and knows what to look for and what constitutes as a quality picture of video. In the end, we decided to go with Mike Cantrell for video and Claudia Rodriquez for

Pros: EVERYTHING

Wow! My husband and I were blown away when we received our highlight videos from Mike in such a timely manner, but we just finished watching the Main video now and we are more than satisfied. He did an awesome job. Everyone who we shared the highlight video with was amazed. We used his service for the “Welcome Party” that we hosted the day before the wedding and absolutely loved how he fused that day into our wedding day.
Thank you so much for doing such an awesome job Mike. When we met with yo

Pros: Creative, professional, prompt, responsive!!!!
Cons: NONE!
Mike and his team were absolutely perfect. Mike was easy to work with (from New York) to select the best package for my wedding at Nizuc with 180 guests. He was flexible and gave great advice about timing. His team was professional, prompt, and also worked seamlessly with my photographer. My guests never knew there was a videographer present (neither did I - even during getting ready!) and so the shots are all incredibly natural. His team captured the right people, places and moments and created

Pros: Fast response, creative footage, natural shots
We hired Mike and his team for our wedding at Barcelo Palace in April 2015. Right away, I was thoroughly impressed with Mike's fast response to my questions and his willingness to accommodate. He even gave me a call a month prior to our big day to go through what scenes are important to me and what our day will look like. When him and his team arrived while the girls and I were getting ready, he was very professional and nice. He really just blended in and took a lot of nature footage which I ap

Pros: Professional staff, well done editing, video just like a movie
Cons: None
Mike Cantarell and Eduardo Cedillo from Mike Cantarell films did an amazing job!! They are very talented in what they do.The day of the wedding they caught every moment with their continuous filming from getting ready to first look pictures, the ceremony, cocktail reception, family pictures and then the reception. We used them for 5 hours and I wish I would have used them for 8 hours since they filmed EVERYTHING and did such a beautiful job!!! The highlight video was done perfectly. It captured

Pros: Great work
We hired Mike Cantarell for our July wedding at Secrets Maroma in Riviera Maya. They did an amazing job! His staff helped us when we were feeling more than overwhelmed, they were punctual, professional, and courteous throughout the whole process. Their work was outstanding- I watch my highlight wedding video often!!

Pros: timeliness, professionalism, creativity, courtesy, communication, responsiveness, understanding
We hired Mike Cantarell and his team for our Nov 2014 wedding in Cancun. He and his team were extremely courteous and very punctual. Looking back on all the vendors we worked with, we'd have to agree that Mike and his team were the best to work with. They covered all of our events beautifully. We asked that they create a 5 minute highlight of our wedding to play at Reception, and they were able to capture enough footage to put together an amazing edit that we've been watching daily ever sinc

Pros: Incredible work, professional, responsive, and on time.
Cons: None.
Mike and his team did an amazing job with our wedding video. Mike was kind enough to come and meet me in Tulum before the wedding to talk about what we wanted in our video. He and his team were on time, and totally professional. They also finished our video when they said they would, and the finished product was incredible. They were responsive with emails, and for the quality of their work, reasonably priced. HIGHLY recommended.

Pros: Video quality and profesionalism
Cons: none, great experience all around
We couldn't be happier with our short and long videos captured and edited by Jerry and Eduardo! We particularly recommend getting the highlight video, as we've watched it over a dozen times in the past 6 months.
Before the big day: They were happy to discuss any questions about the big day via email and responded promptly. When we first arrived in Cancun Jerry and Eduardo took the time to meet with us at our hotel and to discuss the logistics of our wedding day. They were professional, know

Pros: Affordable, Professional, Amazing
Cons: None
We had our most memorable wedding celebration in Riviera Maya, Mexico on July 21st, 2014 at the Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraiso Resort. It was by far the best day of our lives and it couldn't have been as great without the amazing Videographers we had. Mike Cantarell and his team were extremely professional and helped capture the most amazing moments of our day. We loved that we never felt they were in the way of the ceremony or reception and were still able to get every little detailed moment of

Wedding June 18, 2014- The Grand Mayan- Riviera Maya.
I contacted Mike Cantrell 10 months before the wedding and explained my situation. A surprise wedding for the bride and guests!. Mike was so professional and accommodated the needs. I only wanted a photographer but he suggested the video and I am so glad I listened to him. The photographer and videographer came punctual to the room and did some shots at my kids and I getting ready. My wife was at the spa getting ready for a "photo

Pros: Punctual, professional, great eye for cinematography, captures all the imporant and little moments
Cons: None
I just received my wedding video in the mail and have spent half of the day just watching it over and over. Mike, Jerry and his team did an AMAZING job capturing my wedding and all the little moments that I would never have noticed if not for their talented ability to film. I had my wedding at the Barcelo Maya Palace this year a couple of months ago, and hired Mike and his team for 6 hours to cover my day. They did such an amazing job - above and beyond. I had a fantastic photographer (Claud

Pros: Made us relive every moment, smooth transitions, used all of the songs we requested, quality of the video was top-notch, captured every special moment… the list goes on… amazing!!
Cons: NONE NONE NONE!!!
We were worried because it was a month before the wedding and we needed a videographer. I emailed every videographer in Cancun and, out of the videographers available for our date, we narrowed down our decision to the ones that had the best samples (on vimeo and youtube).
Apparently the research worked because we were BLOWN AWAY by how AMAZING our video turned out!!! Our videographer was so personable and the communication was consistent and seamless. We paid the deposit immediately to secur

We saw and heard such amazing things about our last two family weddings covered by Mike and his team that we flew them to cover our own wedding in Jamaica,- to do our own wedding video!! We are BEYOND elated with the outcome of our wedding video!! Mike & Eduardo did a phenomenal job putting all the footage together from our FOUR DAY wedding celebration. Our highlight film of 10 minutes had all our friends and family including myself repeatedly crying as the team captured the most important m

Pros: on time, listens, professional, very talented and creative!!
Cons: Nothing!
My husband and I were hesitant to use vendors we couldn't meet in person, therefore, we flew in our own photographer and DJ to our destination wedding in Puerto Morelos, Mexico. After realizing it would be completely out of our budget to fly down a videographer as well, we chose a videography service in the Cancun area through Mike's website and reviews. We really like his Cinematography style and I really enjoyed watching weddings he's done in the past. Communicating with Mike was easy and pr
