The Wedding Company - Arhip Hodge

Arhip Hodge did the video of my son and daughter in law's wedding almost 3 years ago. He has not honoured his contract and still no video. There are loads of other couples who have also been affected, if you have, please can you get in contact. There was a thread on another forum but that's been closed now, and we need to find this man and start proceedings to get the videos that he was paid for and he promised to deliver. We did have contact with him but as of Feb this year he has changed his number, so we cannot contact him anymore. This is heartbreaking for my family and for all the other couples that have been affected. Thank you

    He is back on Twitter if you search your name you will find him. He still owes us film from our wedding two years ago.

    Thank you. He's changed his mobile number. It's nearly 3 years since he did my sons wedding. There was a whole thread on Your Wedding magazine online but that has closed. I would like to have contact with others on that site but don't know how to. As I have some info that I don't want to put on here.

    I hope so. We need this to be sorted out for everyone. So unfair.

    Why has he done this in the first place? Given that there are other people he owes to, I wonder how he can still be in that business.

    He is no longer in business but still has the footage of all the weddings. I've now contacted the press and Rip Off Britain and Watchdog!

    I'm so sorry for you. Did you ever hear back? I've contacted the press that reported on him being in prison and Rip off Britain. The original thread on You and Your Wedding is no longer available, which had so many couples on.

    He was jailed and still have done this. Wow. He's looking for a permanent residency in jail then.

    He was jailed for something else, but you would have thought he would want to make everything right for all the people he had hurt previously, but sadly not, no morales or conscience.

    Arbil filmed our wedding back in august 2018. I was on the last thread but have just noticed it has been deleted. Has anyone managed to get in contact with him? His number had already changed/been disconnected when we returned from honeymoon and he obviously didn’t answer any emails. As I said on the previous thread, I would just love our footage so we can have it edited by someone else.


    Kim, did you get anywhere with your reports to Rip Off Britain?

    He did this to me and my husband! We were married September 2017 and we did have a video but he removed it off of the website and we don't have a copy. He is a horrible man!

    Hi, he did the same to us in September 2017, although he did actually put a copy on vimeo which I luckily downloaded online but I can only access his details on my phone


    He has a new company now - before I do, has anyone contacted the new company with a small claims threat?

    Hi Kate, it's TFA Productions, it's on the linked in App. I typed his name on Google and it comes up with his name and the wedding company as an active company although it's been dissolved - shows how cheeky he is !

    Arhip Hodge is my adopted brother but I have had no contact with him for over 20 years so can’t help you on that front. Interesting thread. I googled him to try find him with the current world events, as he is native Russian, just out of concern. Not sure the concern would be reciprocated! I know his family background, and tbh, I would not bother to try and locate him to seek recompense.

    Hi, Arhip filmed mine and my husband's wedding back in July 2018 and we have had nothing. The last time I tried to contact him was in early 2020 but never had a response, so I'm guessing he had changed his number by then. Previous to this I did have one message from him (I can't remember exactly when but it must have been some time towards the end of 2019) to say he would send me the raw footage, but needless to say we never got it. I messaged on the thread on the site that was closed down, but since it was shut down I gave up hope of ever getting any footage from our wedding Smiley sad Hopefully if people are still chasing him for what he has then there may be a chance people will at least get something.
