I'm now on my third very extensive project with RaffertyWeiss Media and continue to be blown away by the team's capabilities, professionalism and the heart they bring to every single project. To put it simply: this is a team that makes amazing things happen. From filming in underground mines to conducting interviews at 9,000 foot elevations on mountains without paved roads, I never heard a "no" when I asked them what was possible. Aside from the extraordinary production skills, their unparalleled people skills are what make RaffertyWeiss standout from other production and media companies. It's a singular talent to be able to put interview subjects at ease immediately and, in the end product, that comfort comes across to the viewer. You can tell that this is a team that loves what they do, enjoys the process, and takes great pride in delivering an end product that hits all the marks.

We have partnered with RaffertyWeiss Media for the past two years on our annual business meeting. Patrick and team do an incredible job from concepting to execution. They are wonderful partners throughout the entire process, ensuring that we are able to deliver on the vision of the event without stress. We have a small in-house department that just does not have the bandwidth to execute event support on top of the day-to-day, so being able to tap into RaffertyWeiss' many multimedia contacts was critical for our success leading up to the event. We also could not have done without their support during dress rehearsals and on the day of the event. Under their direction, everything was so smooth and seamless. For the past two years that they have supported our event, we have gotten nothing but great feedback from our associates and leadership!

I/we worked with the Rafferty/Weiss team many times over a 19-year period when I was CEO at United Way Worldwide. We used them for internal and external messaging videos, for special events and for special initiatives in the U.S. and all around the world. Their work is world class, their team members are professional and they're a complete joy to work with.

Pat Rafferty and his team at RaffertyWeiss Media are the consummate professionals and I would highly and unequivocally recommend them for any of your media, event or production needs. During a very uncertain time of the pandemic they orchestrated and produced a first class event that reached our supporters, clients and followers in a way we could have never imagined. They brought creativity and a can do attitude that resulted in an outrageously successful event. A huge thanks to Pat and his team!

Working with Patrick and his team -- we get great results every time! They are creative, responsive, easy to work with, and produce really powerful, professional products for us and our clients--even in short turn-around situations. I know I can always count on this expert team to get the job done, and get it done right! Highly recommend.

I've had the opportunity to work with RaffertyWeiss Media many times over the last ten years or so, and I can say that they're honestly among the best in the area when it comes to directing, producing and coming up with terrific ideas for video and film. The DC metro area has a reasonably distinct set of needs when it comes to creative communications, and these guys really get it. Most importantly, they've shown me, over and over again, that great production work and public affairs/government relations can go hand-in-hand. And yet they're modest, collaborative and only have enough ego to insist that the work be excellent. When it comes to video production and all that goes along with it, RaffertyWeiss Productions is always among my first calls.

We utilized Rafferty Weiss media for a 60th anniversary corporate video, everyone we worked with was very professional and flexible in working with executives for interviews, shooting video in our offices and also arranging 3rd party services for work outside of the Washington DC area. The final product exceeded expectations, we were extremely pleased with the results.

RaffertyWeiss was a great partner in the development and production of our promotional and training videos. They are an enthusiastic and extremely talented creative team who took the time to understand the message we were trying to convey. Best of all, they are fun to work with. The quality of their work speaks for itself...but winning a Telly Award for our video proves it! Could CarFit Be a Good Fit for You? has been selected as a winner of the 39th Annual Telly Awards winning a Bronze Telly Award in the Social Video: General Public Service and Activism category.
