Specialties
The Montage Maven is a boutique video production company based in Purchase, NY, in Westchester County, specializing in creative photo montages made for all of life's important events. From Bar/Bat Mitzvahs to weddings to anniversaries, our creative team is dedicated to providing an entertaining, personalized video for the focal point of your party. Beyond sharing great memories, our montages captivate large audiences through techniques such as dynamic photo movement and 2D animation.
We believe every great montage should be a story and reflect the subject's style and interests. We incorporate any assets you would like including old photos, home videos, movie scenes, and your favorite songs. We can infuse a theme such as the 1970s, soccer, Hollywood, Saturday Night Live, or the New York Yankees.
Outside of photo montages, The Montage Maven provides an array of digital services including video editing, event shooting, live streaming, video transfers, and media duplications. We may be based right outside New York City, but have worked with clients across the country and internationally. We invite you to explore what we can make for you.

Thanks to our creative editors and close relationships with our clients, we are able to create personalized movies that make you and yours look like stars with creativity, passion, and a whole lot of fun.
Meet the Business Owner: Jackie M.
The "maven" behind the business is Jackie Marek, a mother of two who grew up in Westchester. Whenever Marek watched video montages at the Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and various events she attended, she'd get a nagging feeling that she could do a better job. "I would think, 'I would change the music' or 'That transition isn't in the right place,'" says Marek. "I was critical of what I saw and felt I had an eye for the business."
