What a wedding videographer costs in Minnesota
The average Minnesota wedding costs $28,000, against a $34,200 US average, and a videographer in the Midwest averages $2,200. A four-camera Recorderly kit is $795 anywhere in the state — four 4K cameras, a wireless microphone on each, shipping both ways.
Minnesota averages $28,000 a wedding, $6,200 below the $34,200 national average, and ranks 25th of the 50 states. The Midwest carries a $2,200 videographer average against a $2,300 national figure. The markets we have a local figure for — Minneapolis — do not agree with that regional number or with each other, which is the reason these pages exist: an average across twelve states is not a quote.

What is the average wedding cost in Minnesota?

Do you ship camera kits anywhere in Minnesota?
Yes — shipping is free nationwide and runs both ways, to any address in the state. The kit arrives before the event and goes back to a carrier the day after in a prepaid box.
Is a guest camera kit cheaper than a Minnesota videographer?
Four Recorderly cameras are $795 with a wireless microphone on each, shipping both ways and the edited film — against a $2,200 regional average for one operator. Two cameras are $595; editing footage you already have is $395.
Does a guest camera kit replace a videographer?
It replaces one if you were not going to hire one anyway. A professional guarantees the ceremony is filmed and guest cameras do not. Most people who use both put the crew on the ceremony and the kit everywhere a single operator cannot be.
Four cameras, four mics, $795
