One Step Ahead

One step ahead was an absolute party – they were extremely talented and had our wedding dancing all night! They killed it with Shallow and played tons of new/current songs – which we really appreciated. I had multiple people ask me for their contact information after the wedding!

In addition to the talented band, Tim was the best and an absolute pleasure to work with! He was extremely communicative and thoughtful and offered his advice and guidance throughout the wedding process. He held my hand throughout the process and offered superior customer service. Despite everything he has going on, I always felt like I could reach out to him as a resource or to ask questions regarding my wedding.

Good Morning Dave!

Thank you and the band for helping to make Katie and Andy’s wedding day perfect. It was a pleasure working with you.

One Step Ahead was insanely talented and went above and beyond at every opportunity! Thank you!

Hi Dave,

Thank you all again so much for making our night so special. The music was absolutely incredible and we’re still hearing from guests that it was one of the most fun and exciting dance floors they’ve ever been on! I know they would all recommend One Step Ahead in a heartbeat.

Feel free to send along any review sites that we can leave our comments on. We’d be happy to!

Dave,

I wanted to reach out and thank you and the rest of One Step Ahead so much for a great time at my wedding on August 3rd! We just got back a few photos from Kelly Cronin Photography I thought you might want to see – especially from when Justin got out onto the dance floor to limbo with all our guests WHILE belting it out. We had such a great time and so did our family and friends!

We’ve already recommended you to an acquaintance getting married on Cape Cod in 2020.

Thank you again!

We cannot thank you enough – you guys were absolutely amazing! Everything was perfect and we really appreciated you accommodating all of our requests, no matter how strange! One Step Ahead is a phenomenal band and the new singers are spectacular – people could not believe how great you all were and told us as much both during the reception and the following day. You guys knew exactly what to play and how to keep everyone on the dance floor all night, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Thanks so much again we cannot tell you how much it meant to us.

Hi Dave,

David and I are back from our honeymoon and we can’t stop talking about how fun our wedding was! We’ve heard from multiple guests who were beyond impressed with One Step Ahead.  The dance floor was full the ENTIRE night! The Harborview venue coordinator even reached out after the wedding to find out who our incredible band was – she’s going to start recommending you to any couples asking about music at their wedding.

Thank you for making June 1st a night to remember! We loved having One Step Ahead perform.

A great big thank you for an exceptional performance by the One Step Ahead band at our daughter, Cara’s wedding, this past weekend at The Nantucket Hotel. Everyone loved the music! The cocktail duo and the entire band was amazing and wonderful. Thank you for the many telephone calls, emails and texts, you kindly received in answering our concerns. We would highly recommend your company to anyone.

Thanks again for being SOOO AMAZING at our wedding. We are just getting back from our honeymoon so I am catching up on emails!! EVERYONE raved about you OneStepAhead!!!

Dave, One Step Ahead was outrageously wonderful. I thought your keyboard player might get a laugh out of the photo below. His virtuosity did not go unnoticed by our Jewish friends. (He was amazing, riffing on various prayers like a cantor). As for my Irish Catholic brothers, they were like “whaaa?”  And then leapt right into the dance. 

Thanks and hope you had fun too!

We love you guys, thank you for everything. Our wedding was extra special with you there and we will absolutely tell everyone about One Step Ahead!

PS- Dave is a saxophone player too, So he loved Jayo on the sax 🙂

Thanks again!

One Step Ahead was so vibrant! Our guest couldn’t say enough about the band. We had a fantastic experience and I can’t thank them enough for making our wedding day magical!

Thank you so much for everything! You made our night truly special and a whole lot of fun!!! We got nothing but compliments from our guests on the music.

We will be sure to recommend you to all of our family and friends!

Hi Dave,

THANK YOU for a remarkable evening! We had a wonderful time and our guests were raving about how great the band was and how fun it was having members of the band come into the group to engage with the guests. You all did a wonderful job keeping the group on the dance floor and having fun, and weaving in songs that made it even more special for Will and I.

Thank you again – you will certainly be on the top of my recommendation list.

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and please share my thanks with the rest of the band.

One Step Ahead had a great music selection that kept us dancing all night. Their dinner music was incredible as well! Dave was great and very receptive and responsive, especially closer to the wedding date. We didn’t even notice the band had taken a break until they had been gone for a little bit. The music was well balanced and high quality with some incredible musicians.

Hi Justin,

Just have to give a shout out to One Step Ahead and Dave for all of their great work on Saturday! Dave is extremely kind, and efficient, and really has a passion for playing! The band was awesome, everyone was dancing all night! 

Kudos to a fantastic evening!

I want to thank you for a great night of music and Melissa & Alex wedding in Nantucket on June 3rd. As Father of The Bride, I can tell you the feedback has been amazing. I love how you played straight through and how you had the flexibility to accommodate Ben as well as the Irish dancing jig. It was a great night and One Step Ahead was a huge part of it. Please pass along my thanks to all in the band.

We cannot thank Dave and the members of One Step Ahead for making our wedding absolutely spectacular! When we were finalizing our intro, first dance songs, and final songs – Dave was responsive, patient, and extremely helpful in helping us select the perfect song list. Our dance floor was full the entire night all thanks to One Step Ahead’s energy, professionalism, and talent!! We cannot thank you all enough for providing us with the best night, ever!!

One Step Ahead was a great band for our wedding! They had our guests dancing (myself included) the whole night!

Dave,

I cannot thank you and One Step Ahead for such an incredible night! You guys were absolutely unbelievable! I have received so many compliments and so many people telling me how awesome you guys were!

The band makes the night and you guys really out did yourselves. The groom and I had such a blast, which hopefully you could tell by the fact that we were on the dance floor all night, as were all our guests. My feet kill today from dancing so much!!!

A million and one thank yous for making it the best night of our lives. We cannot thank you enough for all your hardwork to make it so amazing! Of course I will tell everyone your name and how fantastic you were!

One Step Ahead absolutely nailed it! Almost every single person told me in the days following our wedding how much they enjoyed the band.

We were enjoying ourselves so much that we were ready to pay to have the band continue for another hour if our venue would have allowed it. Thank you!!

Dave is a great guy- he was easy to work with and very patient with me as I worried about a few details here and there. He was just really easy to work with and made the process so much fun!

Dave,

Everyone was raving about you and the rest of One Step Ahead- thank you SO much! I’m also happy that you guys caved to the crowd and played one more song;)

Dozens of people at the wedding raved about the band. The dance floor was full until the last dance! This was an older and sophisticated group who are well traveled and attended many weddings so were not easily impressed. They were impressed with One Step Ahead!!

Wilson Stevens was so accommodating and Dave from One Step Ahead was fantastic!! Very comforting to communicate with someone so experienced.

Many guests at the wedding have raved about the music selection and how wonderful One Step Ahead was!!

Thank you,

Dave was very easy to work with and always quick at responding. One Step Ahead played most of the songs that we had put on our “songs to play list.” They played a great mix of old and new songs that had the entire wedding dancing all night! Thank you!

Dave was really easy to work with and accommodate a couple of things we wanted to incorporate. Everyone had so many wonderful things to say about our band! The lead singers even got out on the dance floor to dance with my grandmother or join me in the cupid shuffle!
We will recommend Wilson Stevens Productions to all of our friends!

Dave,

Grant and I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for how amazing you and the rest of One Step Ahead were Saturday night. Every single one of or guests (young and old) commented on how fantastic you all were and how you did an unbelievable job of keeping the dance floor going all night. Your transitions were seamless and you were so willing to work with our last minute changes. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable. We got a survey from Wilson Stevens that we are going to fill out, but would be happy to do any other type of recommendations for you guys as a reference. Just let us know 🙂 You made the night absolutely amazing!!

Hi Dave,

I’m sure you get emails like this all the time, but Will and I wanted to say THANK YOU! One Step Ahead truly made our wedding fantastic. Everyone commented on how amazing you all are and you had people up dancing who never dance!!! You all made our wedding so full of energy and so much fun for us and all of our guests.

I just wanted to let you know how truly happy we are with how everything went and how important your role was in making our wedding such a special and fun occasion. Also, thank you all so much for learning “Two Weeks” and having Edward sing with you, that was truly a moment we will remember for the rest of our lives (not to mention it sounded amazing). We also LOVED ending with “Lovely Day,” that was such a magical ending to a really incredible day/experience.

Please tell all the band members THANK YOU and you guys are really really incredible. Thanks for everything.

1) Quality of Music: Excellent. I cannot say enough about the quality of the music and the band. EVERYONE is raving about the band. And the dance floor was always packed. One Step Ahead is the best band I have ever heard at a wedding.

2) Choice of Music: Excellent. The music selections were spot on. They kept in mind our requests (made ahead of time) and ready our audience perfectly! They did a great mix of fast fun songs and broke it up with slower songs. Absolutely perfect!

3) Grooming and Attire: Excellent. The band is HOT! Everyone looked great.

4) Emceeing: Excellent. Dave was awesome. He announced everything perfectly and with energy and enthusiasm.

5) Break Schedule: Excellent. Were they on break? They were playing, playing, playing!!!

7) Use artist again?: Yes. Dave was fabulous!  He was accessible and easy to work with.

One Step Ahead MADE our wedding. Everyone was raving about them. The dance floor was NEVER empty. It was the best band I have ever heard at a wedding. Hands down. And fortunately, it was our wedding!!

Dave from One Step Ahead was very responsive and the band kept our guests dancing. They really knew how to get everyone up and dance the night away, great time!

Dave,
Annie and I wanted to thank you and your band so much for playing at our wedding. You guys were amazing. Everyone we talk to keeps on mentioning how awesome the band was and we agree 100%. You guys rocked the house and we will highly recommend you any chance we get.

A huge thank you to you and the band! We had an absolutely phenomenal time on Friday night and a big reason is because of you guys!! We’ve gotten so many complements: “where did you find that band?!”. I hope you guys had fun playing!
Exceeded all our expectations 🙂

Happy Holiday!!

OH MY GOD TIM!!!! My wedding was over the weekend and I can’t say enough about One Step Ahead. I was just so floored with all their talent, the performances, their entertainment level… I could seriously cry with genuine happiness. I was so concerned with choosing the right band (as you know:)) And they just superseded all expectations in the greatest way. My guests were in pure awe of them as well.

So as genuinely and happily as I can put it… THANK YOU SO MUCH TIM and ONE STEP AHEAD!!!! I truly had the best day of my life and I will never forgot all the roles you all played in giving Luke and I our dream wedding!!! We are referring to everyone we know, for all occasions!!!!! I wish I had more occasions myself, I didn’t want them to leave 🙁 Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!!!

Performance Review:

1) Quality of Music: Excellent. The music was fantastic, it honestly made the wedding reception into what I had envisioned.  The setting is one thing, but the band is what our guests really remember and talk about.  We received so many comments from our wedding guests that the band was so great.  I wouldn’t trade the live band for many other things in the wedding!

2) Choice of Music: Excellent. The band played some of the music I suggested and really got the crowd going with all of their music selections.

3) Grooming and Attire: Excellent. Everyone in the band looked great and professional!

4) Emceeing: Excellent. Dave was great to work with from before the wedding when we talked about our first dance song to greeting us before being introduced to make sure everyone was ready to go.  During the wedding reception he spoke clearly and kept it to a respectable minimum.

5) Break Schedule: Excellent. The breaks were fine and happened at appropriate times when the guests were eating and dancing wasn’t needed.

6) Use Wilson Stevens again?: Yes. It was great talking with Justin when I was trying to find a band for my wedding.  I had originally heard of another band they manage, but wasn’t available.  One Step Ahead was available and was a great option!

7) Use artist again?: Yes. It was very easy and enjoyable working with Dave from One Step Ahead.

Thanks to the band for wonderful wedding reception entertainment.  They created an amazing atmosphere and was exactly what I wanted for our wedding.  I appreciate you learning our first dance song, Vince Gill When Love Finds You.  I will be sure to pass along One Step Ahead & Wilson Stevens’ name for anyone looking for a band.  Thanks!!!

Everything was excellent! Dave and the One Step Ahead band were terrific and everyone raved!

We and our guests absolutely loved the One Step Ahead band. They were lively and had us up dancing all night!

Dave from One Step Ahead was very easy to reach and very responsive. I have had so many people tell us how amazing the band was. In our opinion, a band can make / break a wedding so we were very pleased that they contributed to our amazing night.

Hi Dave,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you and your band again for yesterday evening. You guys were absolutely terrific. We’ve been getting texts and emails all day telling us how awesome the band were. Shout was a personal highlight. Thanks also for letting me do a song with you. It meant the world to my parents and my wife.

Thanks again for everything – you took the wedding to another level and were even better than advertised.

I just have to say that One Step Ahead was better than I could have ever dreamed they would be! All the musicians were so talented and they played together beautifully. And in terms of voices, and I am really picky here;Giovanni and Lily were OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD. I don’t want to pick a “best part of my wedding, but if forced…I would have to say the band is at the top of my list.

Thanks for being so professional and dealing with us (and the island ferry et al). We just had a spectacular night and my wifey actually said One Step Ahead was even better than she imagined! So thank you to one and all!

Hi Dave,

Apologies for taking so long to send you this note but it has been a crazy few weeks since the wedding. I cannot thank you and the band enough! It was AMAZING!!!!

The fact that the band learned & performed the requested songs flawlessly in less than a week was really impressive. I am known to be a ‘perfectionist’ but the band exceeded all my expectations. The dance floor was packed all night and we are getting so many compliments as to how great the band was. We have just watched the video and cannot believe some of the guests that were on the dance floor – from the young to great aunts!!!

You really made our day and the professionalism of the team was exceptional. I would recommend you to anyone and please feel free to use me as a reference.

One Step Ahead was absolutely out of this world! You guys truly made our wedding reception! We had a very fun crowd who was ready to dance, but you really took the party to a whole new level! I have heard so many comments about the wedding, including “where in the world did you get that band?”, “that’s the best band I’ve ever heard at a wedding”, ” the lead singer is the best female vocalist I’ve ever heard”, “they looked like they were having just as much fun as the guests!”, etc, etc.

I hope you did have as much fun as we did, and please do feel free to pass along my name and number to anyone looking for a reference!

The band was a hit. Everyone, and I do mean everyone, was dancing from start to finish and the extra brass player was fabulous!

I don’t even know where to begin, this band rocked! I don’t think we left the dance floor once at our wedding…I don’t think anyone did!
The band even learned a song that we requested for our bridal party introductions, which was just awesome! They played an incredible mix of current and classic dance tunes. Everyone keeps raving about how fun our wedding was and we really owe this to the band, they definitely kept the party going!

Dear Dave,

What a terrific and fun night with thanks to you and your band for making it such a wonderful evening. We had a blast and I think it is safe to say so did all of our guests.

Have a safe trip back home and many, many thanks for a great night of music.

Hi Dave,

I wanted to send you an email to THANK YOU so much for the wonderful performance that you and the band put on at our wedding back on May 5th at Charter Oak. You all far exceeded our expectations and really contributed to all of our guests having an amazing time at our wedding. I cannot tell you how many emails/phone calls we have received from our guests since the wedding that mention what an amazing band we hired , so thank you again.

I hope you guys had as much fun as Mark and I did that night! Thanks again.

Thank you Wilson Stevens for another great event. Everyone was up and dancing all night to ONE STEP AHEAD. Alas, I have run out of daughters and weddings (hopefully), so you may not be hearing from me for awhile. Please feel free to use me as a reference.

Thanks again

We couldn’t have been happier! They exceeded our expectations and our guests were dying to get their card to use them at their next event. Hopefully they enjoyed playing for us as much as we enjoyed them. Dave LeBleu is one of the easiest people to work with…..very professional and reliable!!

We received an overwhelming response to One Step Ahead. They MADE our wedding!!

I was extremely pleased with One Step Ahead. They were amazing! They made my wedding unforgettable.
