I said No.
When it came to having a video made of my wedding day, I said no to hiring a videographer.

But if you asked me what I would have done differently about my wedding, what would I say?

I would say making a budget can be overwhelming, especially when it’s for something so important.
And hiring a videographer may seem like it’s unnecessary, but if you were to ask me what I regret cutting from my wedding budget, I would say the wedding video.

So before you make any hasty decisions, consider the following things from someone who wishes that they had hired a wedding videographer.

Movement and Sound Make Things Better
The best days of our lives always fly by too quickly, but that doesn’t mean you can’t relive them.

A video would have captured the moment we said our vows, the toasts at our reception, the music we danced to, and the laughter of our friends and family when someone told a joke. 

It’s moments like these that are hard to remember exactly how they happened. I can’t remember every detail, but a video could have remembered them for me. ​

If You Missed It 
Weddings are busy. There are people everywhere and a lot of things happening. And I didn’t want to miss a second of it. But I couldn’t be everywhere at once.

A video would have captured the reaction of our family and friends the moment we said our vows and the anticipation as I walked down the aisle. A video could have allowed me to see my wedding from another perspective: as if I was one of our guests. ​

Something Easy to Share 
You know all of those beautiful wedding videos you’ve had the privilege to watch? They are so easy to share, especially with those who may have missed the wedding. A video could have been easily shared, and no one would have had to wonder what our wedding might have been like. They would have experienced every moment of it. One of the best things about our wedding was sharing it with all of the people we care about, but a video would have lasted for all the years to come. 

You won’t ever regret having too many memories, but you will regret not capturing them. Hiring a videographer may be hard to fit in the budget, but it will be worth it. It’s just something you can’t miss out on.

The event is back for the 2nd year after a great first year! 2019's event features a new location, more vendors, the burnout contest is back again, 4 days with 22 bands,  of course you should bring your motorcycles and golf carts to play on there (sorry, no ATV's), and the Video Wall is back!  

The Video Wall will be epic during the event too!  And you can be on it!  Vid Monster is creating 2-for-1 commercial spots for the VCMMF and there's even an early bird discount.  This means you can get 2 thirty second commercials for the price of one and be fully customized for the event, as well as, be able to use your commercials however and wherever else you'd like to air them.  The video commercials will work on social media, your website, TV, email campaigns, and more!  If you check out the event page on our website, you'll see example videos we produced from last year so you have an idea of what you can expect. ​

(Hint: there's a video we produced at the end of this post that summarizes the event details.)

The location is now at Edge Hill Farm located at 13101 Louisville Rd., Oakland, KY. 

According to Vette City's Facebook 2019 event page:

​"The property has a storied history of hosting some of the most memorable music events in our area. The grounds are impeccable and the staff is so excited to be a part of the Vette City Motorcycle Music Fest and we're proud to call this home.  We now have a venue that has unlimited potential for growth and most importantly memories. There is camping in the trees, a pond, a second stage, and a gradual amphitheater (no huge uphill climb) as well as a huge starry sky that will make you feel like you can reach up and grab one.  Just 4 miles from the I-65, exit number 30, and just 9 miles north of Bowling Green. One of the most enticing and beautiful "rides' in our part of the world is the short 7.6 miles from Edge Hill Farms to Mammoth Cave National Park."

This event is being put on by Bowling Green Daily News and D93 WDNS Radio Station.  Contact information is on their website if you're interested in learning more or go to vettecitymotorcyclemusicfest.com for more event info.

Vid Monster was excited to unveil the March installation of the Limited Edition vintage-style posters at the Historic Railpark and Train Museum in Bowling Green, KY.  And of course, we wouldn't be a great video company without including in this blog post a video of the unveiling...

Watch the 1 minute Reveal video here:

While we may dabble in the current and future technology space of video, we have a soft spot for the past and the vintage.  We know that in order to get where we're going tomorrow, we need to learn about and appreciate the things from yesterday. 

Sam Kirby, CEO & Creative Director, and Jennifer Martin, Marketing Director, were present to perform the unveiling of this month's featured poster.  The poster, which was a nod to Women for National Women's History Month, can be purchased on site or online at The Historic Railpark and Train Depot.

All proceeds for the poster purchase go toward the depot’s “Save the Depot” campaign and are 11 in X 17 in. 

Our media friends at The Bowling Green Daily News were also there to celebrate the unveiling today too!  

Here's a photo of Sam posing next to the poster before the "big reveal":
