"Sooo much nicer using a local person"

HIGHLY recommend Al!!! Reliable, organized, FAST!!! Sooo much nicer using a local person than taking the chance of mailing them and getting lost! Some of my vhs tapes were over 30 years old! He saved them!!! Next stack I give him is my DVDs once I get those in order. Highly, highly recommend him! You won’t be sorry. Can’t stress enough… if you have old tapes… don’t wait too long…. Would be such a shame to lose all these priceless memories documented!!

"They are a top notch, talented group of people"

We recently worked with Alkaye Media Group on a large project digitizing huge amounts of media in all different outdated formats. Some of the material was lost, some damaged, and some was tough to access because of brands not working well together. Regardless, Al and the team at Alkaye Media Group worked creatively and tirelessly and ended up being able to recover everything! What a gift to have all of those treasured memories saved for the future!! We could not be happier and would highly recommend Alkaye Media Group. While working in their office on our project, there were team members creating movies out of family travel pictures and editing party and wedding videos. They are a top notch, talented group of people who truly care and understand the sentiment and importance of saving and sharing memories and special moments. Thanks so much!
