Crying for 15 minutes
It was the most thoughtful, sweet gift — it had my wife crying for 15 minutes she was so moved. The music, the animation, it was all just wonderful.

It took her 15 seconds
I wanted to celebrate our anniversary differently, so I surprised my wife with our story as a movie. Her reaction was priceless — it took her 15 seconds to realize it was us. We'll enjoy it for years!

They nailed it
Such a sweet, romantic video. You tell your story in a few notes and they build something beautiful out of it. After a couple of small change requests it was perfect. It really brings on the tears. Amazing service.

The most beautiful gift
I gave the film to my husband for his birthday. He had tears in his eyes and said it was the most beautiful gift anyone has ever given him. They even created a personal song, which made it even more special.

Then the tears came
I sat my wife down with a glass of wine and told her I had a short film to watch. Then the tears came. We relived our moments together through the video. It reminded us both of the profound love we have for one another.

What's the Custom Love Story guarantee?
A personal promise from the people who hand-craft your film.
The one with unlimited revisions? Yep, that's us. We keep refining your film — the hair, a scene, any little detail — as many times as it takes, and you only approve it once you truly love it. And if we still can't make you happy with it, you get your money back. Simple, reliable, Custom Love Story.
Everything you might be wondering before you create your movie.
Is this legit? How do I know I'll actually receive my movie?
We get it — you've probably never seen anything like this before, and trusting a new brand online takes a leap. Custom Love Story is a registered company, and every movie is made by a real animator, Nico, who reads your story personally. We've delivered thousands of movies to couples and families around the world, checkout is fully secure, and you'll see your animated characters as a free preview before you ever pay. Nothing about your order is automated guesswork — there's a real person behind it.
What if the characters don't look like us?
Most movies are right on the first version — but if something's off, you tell us and we refine it with you. You preview your animated characters for free before ordering, and after your movie is delivered you can request changes to the characters, story, and details until it feels right. You approve the final version yourself; nothing is locked in without your say.
How is the movie personalized — what do I need to provide?
You upload one clear photo per character and share a few real details about your story: how you met, your favorite moments, your inside jokes. Our animators build a unique movie around it — no two are ever the same.

An sich ist es ein schönes und süß erstelltes Video, was mich etwas gestört hat das mein Freund mein capi auf hatte, was ich den Kundenservice als Änderung vorgeschlagen haben nachdem ich mein Video bekommen hatte, auf diesen Änderung Wunsch habe ich aber leider keine Antwort erhalten, was ich schade fand da es das Markenzeichen meines Freundes ist. Ansonsten super von der Qualität.

Ich bin absolut begeistert von dem erhaltenen Bild! Die Qualität ist wirklich herausragend – die Farben sind lebendig, die Details gestochen scharf und die Verarbeitung wirkt sehr hochwertig. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich die kreative Umsetzung: Die Kombination aus realistischer Darstellung und stilisiertem Charakter ist einfach perfekt gelungen.
Das Bild hat eine tolle Ausstrahlung und wirkt sehr persönlich – genau das, was man sich wünscht. Auch der Rahmen macht einen stabilen und edlen Eindruck, sodass es sofort aufgehängt werden kann.
Lieferung und Verpackung waren ebenfalls top, alles kam sicher und unbeschädigt an.
Klare Empfehlung – würde ich jederzeit wieder bestellen!

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Custom Love Story. From the very beginning, they were so easy to work with and incredibly patient, making every change I requested until the video was exactly how I envisioned it. I never felt like I was asking for too much—they genuinely wanted it to be perfect.
I wish I had had the time to capture our entire story, but even this glimpse into our 26 years together meant more than I can express. The finished video was beautiful, but nothing compared to seeing my husband's reaction. In the 26 years we've been together, I've only seen him cry a handful of times, and this brought him to tears. Watching him relive our journey and the love we've built together was a moment I'll never forget.
This wasn't just an anniversary gift—it became a treasured memory. Thank you, Custom Love Story, for creating something so personal and meaningful. If you're looking for a gift that comes straight from the heart and will be cherished for years to come, I wholeheartedly recommend them.

My husband and I love it so much! We were blown away how the animation was created based on the details we gave. This was like a mini montage of how we met became friends, fell in love and decided to spend the rest of our lives together.
Viewing our short video made us smile and we love sharing this to our family and friends.

Ich war anfangs skeptisch als ich die Anzeige gelesen habe und konnte mir das nicht wirklich vorstellen. Als der Kurzfilm kam war ich total begeistert und bin es immer noch, ich liebe diesen kleinen Einblick ins Kennenlernen. Das wird ein Mega schönes Hochzeitsgeschenk und eine bleibender Eindruck für alle Gäste bleiben. Ich bin euch unendlich dankbar das Ihr diesen tollen Film zusammengestellt habt und das es Euch gibt und ihr diese Möglichkeit auf Instagram anbietet. Weiter so! Ich bestelle definitiv wieder.

Thank you so much for an incredible video. You have no idea how much the video touched my fiancé and my heart. To see that video was reliving my proposal all over again to my fiancé. She cried watching the video and so did I. Amazing work! This is the first of many videos I will purchase. Thank you again and great work.
Mark F.5/5Verified
Could of done a little more editing. Her legs in the cab of the pickup were not touching the floor, and I think her hair color changed a couple times. My hair style changed a couple times also. And maybe if they could look a little more like us.
But its good, it'll make a decent memory of our first meet up.
Tyler M.4/5Verified
I kept seeing ads for it and was very interested. I wanted to celebrate my wedding anniversary differently and thought this movie was a perfect surprise. I wanted to share our story and have it forever. My wife's reaction was totally shocked because it took her a 15 seconds to realize it was us and our story. Awesome product and will enjoy for years! Thank you!!

Ich habe den Film meinem Mann zum Geburtstag geschenkt. Er hatte Tränen in den Augen und gesagt: das war das schönste Geschenk, dass mir jemals jemand gemacht hat…
Es wurde ein persönlicher Song kreiert, was das Video noch viel schöner gemacht hat. Ein paar kleine Änderungswünsche wurden schnell umgesetzt.
Ich würde es auf jeden Fall empfehlen!!
Vielen Dank für alles!
Nadine H.5/5Verified
This was awesome. Honestly I was on a crunch because of life issues and didn't get the jump on it I needed too. I could have asked for a few little edits, but I was already late on the gift and wanted to just show her. Even with what I would have changed, it was the most thoughtful sweet gift and had my wife crying for 15 minutes she was so moved. The music, animation it was all just wonderful.
