7 Questions to Ask Before Hiring an Event Videographer in NYC

Hiring the right event videographer in NYC comes down to a handful of specific questions. Ask these before you sign, and you’ll know exactly what you’re getting on event day: (1) Do you have corporate event videography experience specifically? Videography is a wide field — you want someone who specifically knows corporate events, and you want to see samples. (2) Can I see a reel of an event similar to mine? Riccardi Media has 30 years of experience and has shot, edited, produced and delivered over 2,000 events. (3) What’s your editing turnaround time? Riccardi Media delivers an edited sizzle video in about 1–3 days. (4) Do you bring backup gear? Your videographer should carry backups of everything. (5) Do I need one shooter or two — or more? One videographer can run multiple cameras, but cameras operated simultaneously require additional crew. (6) Do you handle audio for keynotes? Tap into the venue’s AV system or place a lapel mic on the speaker for clean audio. (7) What’s your deliverables list? Confirm shooting, sizzle video editing, special audio options, and lighting — Riccardi Media handles all of these. To book, call Riccardi Media at 201-528-5068 or visit riccardimedia.com.
