Cinéma des Étoiles — Cinematic wedding films
Cinéma des Étoiles has spent 8 years filming celebrations across Dakar and the wider region — from intimate ceremonies of thirty guests to multi-day celebrations. The films are cut from what actually happened — speeches, first dances, the quiet moments between, and the result is a record of the day as it actually ran rather than a version assembled to a formula.
A planning call settles the shot list, the audio sources for speeches and where the second camera sits, so nothing important is decided on the day itself. Every booking includes a highlight film and the full ceremony edit, delivered in 4K. Questions are answered in writing, changes to the plan are normal and cost nothing before the event, and you always know who will actually be there on the day.
Based in Dakar, Cinéma des Étoiles works in fr / en, with bookings from 400 000 XOF. Send the date and a rough outline and a written, itemised quote comes back within 2h. Peak-season Saturdays are usually taken six to nine months in advance, so it is worth asking early — and there is no charge until you accept.

The planning call made the difference — by the time the day arrived everyone knew exactly what was happening.
Our families are demanding and both sides were delighted, which does not happen often. Handled the whole day with real warmth.
Arrived early, set up without any fuss and stayed until everything was packed down. Professional from start to finish.
Worth every franc. The quality was noticeably above what we saw from the other quotes we collected.
We changed the plan twice in the last month and it was never a problem. Calm, organised and completely reliable.
Answered every question quickly in the run-up, and on the day just quietly got on with it. The difference was obvious.
Booking was straightforward and the written quote matched the final invoice exactly. No surprises, which is all you want.
Blended everything so smoothly that nobody sat down all night. Several guests asked us for the contact before they left.
