Event videographer prices in Abu Dhabi
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.

Planning a shoot in Abu Dhabi
The run of show is the most useful document you can send us: it tells the crew when the opening, the awards and the main speech happen.
Large venues set times for bringing in equipment and may need the crew's names for passes in advance. Share the venue contact and we arrange it with them.
Clean audio of speeches comes from the venue's sound desk, so we ask for an audio feed early. If you need a highlight clip the same evening, tell us before the event.
