Exceeded all our expectations :) Happy Holiday!! -Colleen & Mike Westerly Yacht Club Wedding - September 28, 2013, Westerly ,RI OH MY GOD TIM!!!! My wedding was over the weekend and I can't say enough about Dave, Giovanni, Lily, and everyone else in 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 I was so concerned with choosing the right band (as you know:)) And they just superseded all expectations in the greatest way. So thank you as well for recommending them specifically out of all the bands you contract with. My guests were in pure awe of them as well. People were RAVING about Lily and Giovanni!!!! And Giovanni was so interactive and fun, a pure entertainer....I was so happy!!! Dave was amazing as well as the "Leader" of the band. So professional throughout all of our conversations, and so patient with me. I must have called him a dozen times just to go over and go over my thoughts and concerns, and every time he paid such great attention to me, and gave me his undivided attention. And it showed because he paid such great attention to details that were evident during my reception. He gave us a fun heavy metal intro at the request of my husband that was very out of the box and it went off perfectly. He was just amazing!!! Every instrumentalist was so talented and the saxophone player was amazing as well. I loved when he and Giovanni came onto the dance floor and danced with my guests, it was perfect!!! I can't wait to watch my video!!!! I just wanted to shoot you this email, I plan on sending personal thank you cards, but I wanted to wait until I could make a photograph from the wedding my thank you card, so you can put my name to a face:-) 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!!! Sincerely, Dana Pinatello (Scanapieco) Beechwood Hotel Wedding - August 17, 2013, Worcester, MA 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!!! Julia Post Mount Washington Resort Wedding - August 10, 2013, Bretton Woods, NH Everything was excellent! Dave and the One Step Ahead band were terrific and everyone raved! Jill Finkelstein Alison's Orchards Wedding - July 27, 2013, Walpole, MA We and our guests absolutely loved the One Step Ahead band. They were lively and had us up dancing all night! Ellen Durante Colonnade Hotel Wedding - July 20, 2013, Boston, MA 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. Mike Crepeau Belle Mer Wedding - July 13, 2013, Newport, RI 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. Gareth Hill Lyman Estate Wedding - July 6, 2013, Waltham, MA 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. Margaret Gammill Cuttyhunk Island Wedding - June 29, 2013, New Bedford, MA Thanks for being so professional and dealing with us (and the island ferry et al).

Glen Magna Farms Wedding - May 26, 2013, Danvers, MA 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. Janine Barker Turner Hill Wedding - June 30, 2012, Ipsiwch, MA 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!

Debbie and Les Paul Publick House Wedding - August 18, 2012, Sturbridge, MA, 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! Vanessa Anderson Dolphin Cove Pavillion Wedding - June 9, 2012, Stamford, CT Dear Dave, What a terrific and fun night with thanks to you and your band for making it such a wonderful evening.

Paul Norton Charter Oaks Country Club Wedding - May 5, 2012, Hudson, MA 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. Erin Sullivan Veronique Ballroom Wedding - April 18, 2009, Brookline, MA 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.
