Padrino Films worked with us on two of our membership events for our gyms. They were outdoor events and they provided exception service at both festivities. The team was responsive to any questions we had, and were prompt in their arrival at the events, as well as being quick with the turnaround of the material. They provided photography, drone footage, videography, and testimonials. We will absolutely be using their services again in the future.

Padrino and Team did an amazing job for our recent office event! From start to finish, their crew was incredibly polite, cooperative, and welcoming. They were attentive to every detail and supported us throughout the entire process. One of the highlights was the beautiful presentation they created for our Tenured Employee interviewit was thoughtfully crafted and professionally executed. Their dedication and professionalism truly made a difference. Highly recommended!
