One Step Ahead

One step ahead did an amazing job at our wedding! We had so much fun. They played awesome music and kept the dance floor going throughout the whole night! They even let my dad play with them which was such a special moment for my family and I! One Step Ahead is the perfect wedding band! I can’t thank you enough!

Hey Dave,

Sorry it’s taken so long to respond – we were away and are just settling back into things now. But we wanted to say thank YOU and the whole band for being just incredible the day of our wedding!!!!! We absolutely loved the energy and exceptional talent of the group and are so grateful to you for helping make our day so special. 

Hi Dave, 

You and the rest of the band were amazing!!! The flow of the evening and the music was perfect – our only compliant is it went by too fast, haha!

Our guests were equally raving about the music. You guys really brought the energy to keep everyone on the dance floor, which is exactly what we wanted. And She’s A Rainbow was a big ceremony hit so thank you again for learning that! 

It was a pleasure working with you and we really couldn’t have imagined a better day, of which One Step Ahead was a huge part.

We cannot thank you all enough. We had an absolute blast. One Step Ahead rocked it for sure. Thanks for making our day special and so much fun. Best of luck to you all in the rest of this wedding season!!

One Step Ahead was AMAZING! Every guest at our wedding said they had never seen such an amazing wedding band. They got in the crowd to sing a few songs and had amazing energy the entire night. The sax player also came onto the dance floor and the crowd loved it.

The only complaint I have was being pulled away from the dance floor by our photographer!!! Music was great, energy was even better! Thank you so much!!!!

I am sure you agree that there are two keys to a great party:  1.  Great music,   2.  Great food (and, in my opinion, in that order!) YOU and One Step Ahead made #1 happen, and really contributed to making the wedding so amazing! Whereas so many people raved about the band, it was when my wife’s cousin (who coordinates mega events) said “the band is truly great” that I knew others saw what I saw. 

Keep up the great work and special energy! You make one of the most important days in people’s lives that much better!

Thank you very much for making our night so special. We have gotten nothing but rave reviews about the band and will recommend you to all! We could not have asked for a better night. Thanks to One Step Ahead and all of you!

Thank you!

One Step Ahead was the absolute best. We used them for our ceremony, cocktail hour and wedding reception. Their band members added so much energy to our dance floor (singers and band members at times were in the middle of our dance floor connecting with us and our guests), and the overall customer experience at WS was first class and extremely responsive with all of our planning questions. The two lead singers had amazing voices and excellent vocal range and our guests continue to tell us that One Step Ahead was the best band they had ever heard “live” at a wedding. We would strongly recommend One Step Ahead for any celebration, especially if it is a wedding reception. Thank you for making our wedding a memory of a lifetime for us and all of our guests!!!

I’m sorry for the delay but I can’t say this strongly enough: I wish to extend a HUGE thank you to you, and the band!! We loved all the music, all the entertainment, and we had just had such a blast with One Step Ahead.

Thank you again!

Thank you so much. One Step Ahead is absolutely outstanding. You guys elevated the whole experience to an unimaginable level. We were blown away. I can’t thank you guys enough, it was a total blast. Everyone is going to be talking about the music for years to come – just the energy, the unbelievable talent, the entertainment, the vibe!!! Phenomenal. 

Please thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts. You all made the night shine. 

Hi Dave!

We can’t thank you enough!!! Seriously THE BAND MADE OUR NIGHT!!! It’s 3 weeks later and I am still getting positive feedback, too many to count have said you were the best band they have ever seen at a wedding or period. Kev and I were blown away and so incredibly happy that we got to play a song on our wedding day.

Thank you again!

Dave, you and One Step Ahead were so phenomenal. Thank you for making all our (especially my) wedding dreams come true! My only regret is not thanking each of you personally after the wedding… I was just too jazzed! Please pass our sincere gratitude along to everyone, we had the best best time with you all!

Oh my goodness, we cannot thank you and One Step Ahead enough for the most perfect night!!! It was truly magical! 

We still have all of our friends and family reaching out to us recapping the whole day. 

When we return home you will have to tell us where we can leave a review of you.

Thank you again!!! 

Thank you so much for everything. We had the best time, and can’t begin to tell you how many compliments we received on the band! You guys crushed it!!!

Thanks again and we will definitely recommend you all going forward — hope to see One Step Ahead again soon!

We cannot thank you and the entire band enough for such an incredible night. I cannot stop raving about you all! The band’s energy, talent, professionalism… and dance moves! One Step Ahead is incredible. Please share our appreciation and gratitude with all members. You all made our wedding SO special, fun, and memorable!

Hi Dave, 

Thank you so much for an incredible evening! The guests could not stop raving about how fun it was that the singers jumped off the stage and came into the crowd! They also loved when some of the band came outside playing and having a great time to draw them back onto the dance floor! Everything was done perfectly and we loved the positive energy and enthusiasm the band had as well as the amazing lead male singer, female singer and the drummer was so impressive singing and drumming! I loved, too, at the end that the trumpet player jumped onto a chair and other band members, too, to contribute to the fun and we loved the final song! Thank you so much for making our special night so perfect! 

Good morning, Cheryl!

The wedding weekend was fabulous! One Step Ahead was wonderful! The timing, play set, personalities…all perfect!  Thank them all once again for me.  

Can’t say enough. 

All the best!

We absolutely LOVED working with One Step Ahead, one of the Wilson Stevens bands. We originally were scheduled to get married in June 2020, but due to COVID postponed to June 2021, and ultimately again to June 2022. WS was so easy to communicate with, and made rescheduling a breeze. As we got closer to the wedding, we loved working with Dave as well. He made our pre-wedding meeting so fun, and got us even more excited for our celebration. The band learned a mashup for our first dance, which was so special. All of our guests were raving about how amazing our music was!! Highly recommend!!

Music was probably one of the most important things to us and our family going into the wedding, and One Step Ahead BLEW US AWAY. From the get-go, bandleader Dave was a pleasure to work with and both proactively helpful and responsive to any questions or ideas. We had a trio of band members play for cocktail hour and it was perfect – low key and jazzy. At the reception, the full band was EXCEPTIONAL – our guests haven’t stopped gushing about the group since!! We had a big range of ages, musical tastes, reserved/outgoing friends and family, and literally every. single. person danced. Everyone. We cannot thank the band enough for the best party of our life. Hire One Step Ahead. Absolutely would again in a heartbeat.

Cheryl! I am on my honeymoon until this weekend but I just had to email you…One Step Ahead…my lord, Thank you!!!! The Band was just INCREDIBLE!

Appreciate all of you.

It was such a pleasure working with all of you. Please let everyone in One Step Ahead know how fantastic we think the are!! We had a great time. One more child to marry off, we’ll be in touch soon 😉

Everyone I encountered from WS was so professional. OSA was talented, energetic, packed the floor and did everything we asked!

Andrew and I just got back from our honeymoon and are finally getting to catching up on some emails. Thank you so much for everything. One Step Ahead’s chemistry really made the night one to remember. Our family and friends had a fantastic time and we had so much fun dancing the night away! Thank you for being part of our special day!

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!

Performance Review:

1) Quality of Music: Excellent. Everyone was raving about how amazing the band was and the only time anyone left the dance floor the whole night was when they did! One Step Ahead truly made our wedding night the best celebration we could’ve imagined.

3) Grooming and Attire: Excellent. Looked great and fit in perfectly with the wedding.

4) Emceeing: Excellent. Kept everything flowing perfectly and kept our guests partying all night!

5) Break Schedule: Excellent. Can barely remember them taking their breaks because it was the only time people left the dance floor and took advantage of the time to go to the bathroom or grab a drink!

7) Use artist again?: Yes. The band was so easy to work with and was very accommodating of our requests prior to and on the day of the wedding. We didn’t have the chance to hear the band live prior to our wedding day but Dave totally put us at ease and we absolutely made the right choice!

Every single one of our guests commented about how amazing our wedding band was – the best they’ve ever heard! One Step Ahead truly made our wedding the perfect celebration – so full of energy and so much fun!

Performance Review:

We absolutely loved One Step Ahead, they were amazing!

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 basically had a hurricane outside and the band completely made the party. The dance floor was packed the entire time. 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!!

Performance Review:

1) Quality of Music: Excellent. I cannot tell you how many people have called/emailed since the wedding telling us how much they loved our band! Everyone loved the music choices, and the talented vocalists and musicians. It was perfect!

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;)

Thank you so much again!!

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,
