As a wedding officiant, a big part of a couple’s decision to book my services is the ability to see me “in action,” performing a wedding ceremony. I asked Karen to create three videos for me — one highlighting several weddings, a second video of a single ceremony in full-length (with editing), and an edited shorter, highlight video of the full-length ceremony. She was able to give me three distinctive videos that showcased exactly what I wanted to share with couples!
Her editing, choice of music, and overall end result on all three videos was professionally done, producing the warm and touching feeling that I wanted to convey. I know that couples are going to respond positively based on what they see!

I highly recommend Karen Avizur as a video editor candidate for employment. Karen was employed by Rhodes Studios photography and video as a post-production video editor from 2015 – current. Karen is responsible for editing our wedding videos full-length as well as recap trailer wedding videos. She also edits other non-wedding projects that we have such as our corporate video events. She’s extremely creative and has a good flow process that allows her to provide quick turnarounds without compromising quality in the edit.
Karen has excellent communication skills. In addition, she is extremely organized, reliable and computer literate. Karen can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. She is flexible and willing to work on any project that is assigned to her. Karen would be a tremendous asset for your company and has my highest recommendation.

Karen has been helping us with our editing work-load for over eighteen months now. We are extremely happy and pleased with the work she has completed for us. She is able to match her editing to reflect our style, is very accommodating with requests for revisions, and is always happy and pleasant to correspond with. The most impressive thing about Karen is how quick she is to edit! We always know to expect a quick turnaround with projects she’s given. We highly recommend Karen’s services to anyone who needs help with editing, whether it is a large or small project. Thanks for being so valuable to us, Karen!

My wife and I own a small production business and we had a very hard time finding a wedding video editor that we could trust to tell a personal story at the level of our standards. From our first email exchange with Karen, we knew that she was genuine, passionate, articulate and a great storyteller. A few emails in and we sealed the deal to have her edit our film and help ease our backlog. Needless to say, everything she promised and more was delivered at a faster rate than estimated! We were thrilled, the bride was thrilled, and everyone was a winner. I can’t recommend Karen highly enough!

Owner – Forever Forward Productions
I’m delighted to have the opportunity to write this recommendation on behalf of Karen Avizur. We worked together when she lived in Los Angeles, creating both promotional and educational videos based on the business conferences organized by my company DATAVERSITY. Karen produced high quality results for us on all levels – technically, editorially and artistically. She conducts her business with a high level of professionalism, and her work ethic is outstanding. I have no hesitation in recommending Karen’s video production talents and would be very happy to work with her again in future, should she move back to California.

CEO – Dataversity
Karen was extremely thorough, capable, and easy to work with. She’s quick, organized, efficient, and has great ideas, and was very accommodating of my requests and suggestions for the edit. Highly recommend and would love to work with Karen again.

Karen Avizur is a creative and capable video editor who skillfully walked us through the video editing process for our interviews. She put a lot of dedicated work into her video editing projects and was flexible with our needs. I appreciate the time and attention that she put into working on our videos, and she did an excellent job in providing feedback and offering creative suggestions while also taking direction and adhering to the vision of the project. She was able to provide workable solutions to some problems we had with the quality of our video footage, and her ability to make the less-than-ideal quality video files into professional quality videos speaks to the excellence of her editing skills!

Karen edited my wedding video and did an amazing job! I really love the trailer she put together – she was able to capture my whole wedding day in 5 minutes. I enjoyed working with Karen because she made me feel like a collaborator at every stage of the process. Before starting, she asked me about songs, styles, and key moments, and then she asked for feedback/edits before finalizing. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful and professional video editing!

I have had the pleasure to collaborate with Karen Avizur on several projects over the past two years. She has always delivered excellent services with creative insight and relentless ambition. Her work has impressed many of our corporate clients and has been displayed for millions of patrons at special events. Our last event in Central Florida featured Karen’s work on over fifty video screens set to loop her promotional content for ten days with an attendance of 500,000. Karen Avizur delivers terrific products in a timely fashion, and with a refreshing manner of professionalism.
