How Long Does It Take to Receive Your Wedding Video?
The Excitement Is Real—But How Long Do You Have to Wait?
You’ve just experienced the most incredible day of your life. The vows, the laughter, the happy tears, the unforgettable dance moves—it all went by in a beautiful blur. Now, you can’t wait to relive those magical moments through your wedding video.
But I hear you asking, how long does it take to receive your wedding video? How long will it take before you can sit down, press play, and immerse yourself in the emotions all over again?
The answer depends on who you book.
While the industry standard for wedding videography turnaround is anywhere from 8 weeks to 6 months (with many couples waiting around 15-25 weeks), XIV Creative delivers your full wedding films within just 4 weeks—without compromising on quality.
Here’s why turnaround times vary across the industry and why XIV Creative is leading the way with fast, cinematic wedding films that stand the test of time.
Why Do Some Wedding Videos Take So Long?
There are several factors that impact how quickly you’ll receive your wedding video. While every videographer has a different process, here are the main reasons delivery times vary:
Editing Complexity
Wedding films aren’t just a collection of clips thrown together—they’re a carefully crafted, cinematic representation of your love story. The complexity of the edit will determine how long it takes to complete.
Key post-production tasks include:
✅ Color correction to enhance visual quality
✅ High-quality audio production to ensure crystal-clear vows and speeches
✅ Seamless transitions and storytelling techniques
✅ Music selection that complements the mood of your day
✅ Multiple camera angles for a dynamic, immersive experience
The more intricate the edit, the longer it takes—unless you work with a team that has the expertise and workflow to deliver high-quality films efficiently.
Videographer Workload
Most wedding videographers handle multiple weddings, particularly during peak season. This means your wedding film is often in a queue, waiting its turn. Many videographers prioritise efficiency over quality or vice versa—but at XIV Creative, we believe you shouldn’t have to compromise.
Post-Production Tasks
Beyond editing, wedding films involve sound mixing, graphics, effects, and refining hours of footage into a seamless, emotionally engaging video. A slow workflow can drag this process out, which is why choosing a well-organised, experienced videography team makes all the difference.
Unlike many videographers who take months to finalise a wedding film, XIV Creative is proud to offer a fast, stress-free experience without sacrificing quality.
