Birthday & Private Party Videographer in Dubai
Looking for a birthday videographer in Dubai? We film birthdays, anniversaries and private parties at home, in villas, restaurants, hotels and on yachts, and deliver a film of the day, guests' wishes and photos.
A private celebration is not a stage show: the best moments are unplanned. Our videographers work quietly among the guests, know the programme in advance and are in the right place for the cake, the toasts and the surprise.
Need the event streamed live as well? Our live streaming team runs Fat Cat Live.
What's included
- Short call before the party and a list of the moments that matter
- Two videographers: one for the main moments, one for guests and details
- Wishes and short interviews with guests
- A film of the day with music, 2–4 minutes
- Short vertical clips for stories and family chats
- Photographer alongside the video crew, if you need photos
Typical projects
- Birthday party
- Kids' birthday
- Anniversary
- Private dinner
- Villa or yacht party
- Family celebration
Event videographer prices in Dubai
An event videographer costs from AED 500 per hour when you book a full day of 8 hours. Shorter bookings cost more per hour, because travel and setup take the same time for a short event; the minimum booking is 2 hours.
Rates are per videographer and cover filming on site. We recommend at least 2 videographers for an event: one stays with the stage or the main action, the other films guests, details and reactions. A crew of 3 or more videographers works with a production coordinator, AED 3,500 per day.
Editing is quoted separately: it depends on how complex the edit is and how many finished videos you need. For interviews and vox pops we add a sound recordist with all the equipment, AED 2,500 per day. An editor working on site for same-day films costs AED 3,500 per day (up to 8 hours).
All prices are approximate. Please discuss the details of your event with our project manager on WhatsApp or by email.
| Hours on site | Filming | Per hour |
|---|---|---|
| 2 hours | AED 1,500 | AED 750 |
| 3 hours | AED 1,950 | AED 650 |
| 4 hours | AED 2,400 | AED 600 |
| 5 hours | AED 3,000 | AED 600 |
| 6 hours | AED 3,300 | AED 550 |
| 7 hours | AED 3,850 | AED 550 |
| 8 hours | AED 4,000 | AED 500 |
Each hour after the eighth is AED 500. Events of several days are quoted individually.
Private events we film
- Birthday parties for adults: dinners, villa and rooftop parties, yacht trips.
- Kids' birthdays: games, the show, the cake and the faces of the guests.
- Anniversaries and jubilees, with wishes from family and friends.
- Private dinners and receptions at home, in restaurants and hotels.
- Proposals, gender reveals and other family celebrations.
Need photos as well? A photographer joins the video crew and you brief one team.
What you get
- A film of the day, 2–4 minutes: the atmosphere, the main moments and the people.
- A longer cut with the toasts and wishes in full, if you want to keep them.
- Vertical clips of 15–45 seconds for stories and family chats.
- Photos of the guests, the decorations and the details.
Tell us before the party which of these you want: it changes how the videographers work.
How to prepare
Send us the place, the start time and a rough programme: when the guests arrive, when the cake comes out, whether there is a show or a surprise. A list of the people who must be in the film helps more than anything else.
Restaurants, hotels and yachts sometimes need to approve filming in advance. Tell us the venue and we check it with them.
If some guests prefer not to be filmed, tell the crew at the start: it is far easier to avoid a shot than to cut it out later.

Questions
How much does a birthday videographer cost in Dubai?
From AED 500 per hour when booked for a full day of 8 hours; shorter bookings cost more per hour and the minimum booking is 2 hours. Most birthday parties need 3–5 hours. Editing is quoted separately: it depends on how complex the edit is and how many videos you need.
Do we need two videographers for a birthday?
We recommend two: one stays with the birthday person and the main moments, the other films guests, decorations and reactions. For a small family dinner one videographer can be enough; you choose the number.
Can you record wishes from the guests?
Yes. Parties are loud, so for wishes and short interviews we add a sound recordist with all the equipment, for AED 2,500 per day.
Can you take photos as well?
Yes, our photographer works alongside the videographers, so one team covers both.
Will the video stay private?
The film is yours. Tell us if it must stay private and we will not show it in our portfolio or on social media.
Can we get a short clip the same evening?
Yes, if it is planned in advance. An editor works on site for AED 3,500 per day (up to 8 hours) and finishes a clip before the party ends.
