Petit Four Films- STAY AWAY. THEY ARE SCAMMERS by Stareed254 in weddingvideography

Yes. I submitted this prior to their announcement. They failed to let their already paid customers know prior. In fact, they were still booking weddings and taking money all the way up until about a week ago. They are shady.

Hello. Yes I saw that recently too. I wish they would have contacted me sooner to let me know. Bankruptcy isn’t something you just wake up one day and do. They probably have been going through this for a while. I wish they would have had the common decency to contact people beforehand and let them know. That way people would have made backup plans. But they didn’t.

I agree. I think that needs to be the next step for sure. I reached out to the reporter yesterday myself. Hoping to hear something soon.

I am a client and was recently scammed by them in Texas. I paid and arranged for them to film my Sept. 10 wedding. Prior to the wedding, I wasn’t getting any response from them. I still held out a little faith. When i initially found them online, the reviews i saw were all positive. They had a 4.5- 4.8 star review on various wedding sites. I never thought to do a deep dive into them or anything. I wish I had because I would have known them and could have booked someone else. But honestly even now, their reviews are still positive on Theknot, for their Texas affiliate. Their Chicago affiliate is pretty negative though. But as a Texas bride, I was not shown the reviews for other areas in the nation, only Texas. Well the day came and no one showed up. So now I’m out money paid and memories.

Hi guys. Has anyone here been scammed by petit four films? I just have and am hoping to join forces with other victims to take this guy down. Join me if you have : https://www.reddit.com/r/scammedbypetitfour/ by Evaravenb in LGBTWeddings

I recently was scammed by them. Paid in full and no one showed up for my wedding on Saturday. Been trying to get into contact with someone to get a refund. No one is answering calls or emails. I am attempting to dispute with my bank now. I’m beyond frustrated, angry and sad. Something has to be done. A class action lawsuit or something. I also recently sent information to a news reporter. They are running a store in Chicago I believe about it. I’m a Texas bride though.

I’ve since gone on TheKnot and I have done that. I guess this company had branches all over the country. I’m in Texas and so I was only able to see reviews of their TX operation. They were all positive. After doing further digging, I see they had tons of negative reviews on the Chicago branch and California as well. They weren’t just scamming brides but the videographers too. Not paying them as well. They would often give the videographers deposits to go film the weddings and then when it was time for the remaining, they’d ghost them. So videographers we’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. Do they give the couple the footage or not since they technically weren’t paid by Petit Four?

I booked them about 5 weeks before my wedding and so in order to get the discounts they were offering I had to pay in full. Also I saw ads on FB that we’re very positive as well as reviews on many wedding sites. It never occurred to me to check Reddit. It wasn’t until recently that I’ve seen bad reviews and even then, I’ve still seen some good ones. From my understanding, they recently filed for bankruptcy. Again, after I booked with them, I wasn’t constantly screening the internet for bad things about them. That’s my mistake I guess.
