I had a great experience with Family Memories Video. Pooja was incredibly nice and very flexible with timing. I had my parents’ old VHS wedding video converted to MP4 format, along with a USB drive they can plug right into their TV.

Hello, I just wanted to share how thrilled I am with the results of my video. Working with Pooja was such a pleasure—she is warm, kind, and fun to work with. I shared photos from a work event and explained that I wanted the slideshow to tell its story. She immediately understood my vision and brought it to life beautifully. My only homework was choosing the titles and background music, and she loved the three songs I selected. The turnaround was fast, and when I sat down to review the finished video, I was genuinely moved. She captured exactly what I had imagined, especially the beautiful ending and the smooth transitions between songs and slides. I left happy and excited to share the video with my colleagues. They loved every minute of it—laughing, smiling, and singing along with the music. I’m so glad I came to Pooja for this video, and I highly recommend her. Five stars! I’ll definitely be back to work with her on my next project or event.

I had a great experience with Family Memories Video. Pooja was incredibly nice and very flexible with timing. I had my parents’ old VHS wedding video converted to MP4 format, along with a USB drive they can plug right into their TV. It’s a gift for my parents’ 26th anniversary, and she made sure it was completed ahead of time. I can’t wait to give it to them and am so happy Pooja was able to help me with such a special project. I highly recommend Family Memories Video and would absolutely trust them with any future video needs. Five stars! 😊

This is honestly one of those rare places that is still 100% worth your money. The owner was absolutely amazing from beginning to end, and she made what was already such a meaningful project for my family into an even more special experience. She helped restore my parents’ wedding video, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what she does. She took the time to show us the process, explain what she was doing, walk us through the results, and even took an interest in the story behind the video and my parents’ wedding. You could tell she genuinely cared about preserving something that meant so much to us, rather than just treating it like another job. The service was truly top notch, the results were amazing, and the entire experience was wonderful. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to preserve something meaningful. Five stars without hesitation! ❤️

I called Pooja day of, delivered the tapes, and they were ready after a few hours. She has a very kind and gentle demeanor and also has the cutest dog! The price was very reasonable and I would 100% recommend to anyone looking to digitize their VHS tapes. Pooja provided excellent service and my boyfriend now has a new way to forever remember memories with his father.

I cannot recommend this business enough! I had my only wedding footage stuck on a mini DVD that was never finalized, and the camcorder no longer worked. I was very worry that those memories were gone forever. Pooja and her husband went above and beyond to recover it. Pooja is incredibly sweet, reassuring, and highly knowledgeable. She explained the process clearly and made me feel confident that my video was in the right hands. They worked fast and successfully converted the footage into a digital video file. Tears were shed when I got the call that they succeeded! It meant the absolute world to me, and I finally have my special day back. Thank you both so much for your amazing expertise, speed, and care!

So, story is I messaged Pooja the night before my father's funeral. I needed a videographer for the event and she was the only one who responsed. We exchanged infomations and hashed out a deal. She gave me some pointers on what to expect, because I've never had a funeral video planned out before. She was very knowledgeable, and her 26 years of experience in the field gave me some confidence going into it. While filming you can just tell she is very passionate about what she does, and she cares about the people that are present. She's always trying to get the best view of the event, set up some memorable moments and when idle even gave comfort to the grieving members. My event lasted for two days, and she showed up early for both. I am grateful for the effort she put, and to me it was well worth the money. Upon receiving the final video product my family was very happy with the result. Mainly, because she kept a very open line of communication about what we want for the video. It was to be a memory of a life time, and while she gave advices, the family gets the final input. This has to be the longest review I've written for a service, but it is well deserved. Pooja deserve 5 stars across the board, and I hope you can find her service, beneath all the sponsored Google ones. - Khoa
