Thanks for making it an even more special night!

the best time Wes R. Trapp Family Lodge Wedding - September 14, 2024 - Stowe, VT

You guys absolutely crushed it. We had the best time celebrating with One Step Ahead. Thanks for bringing the energy!

They brought incredible energy Sophie R. UMass Club Wedding - June 29, 2024 - Boston, MA

We simply cannot say enough good things about One Step Ahead!!! They brought incredible energy to the room with strong vocals and a hot horn section! They really worked the crowd too, coming onto the dance floor and engaging with the guests. I didn’t stop dancing the whole night!!! They also played an EPIC hora. Our guests were RAVING — multiple friends said this was the best wedding band they’d ever seen, and I’m inclined to agree 🙂 Thank you!!

such a professionally managed group Stephanie B. Bedford Village Inn Wedding - June 22, 2024 - Bedford, NH

AMAZING!! One Step Ahead from Wilson Stevens absolutely crushed it at our wedding! The dance floor was packed the entire night. Choosing One Step Ahead to play at our wedding was hands down the best decision that we made and they were worth every penny. The performance had such a great energy and they interacted with the crowd throughout the evening. The music during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner was beautiful. Everyone was talking about how awesome the band was throughout the night and at breakfast the next morning. The manager was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. It was really nice to work with such a professionally managed group. During the chaos of the weeks leading up to the wedding it was such a relief to not have to worry about any logistics with the band. I truly cannot recommend this band highly enough.

SUCH a hit! Emma W. Misselwood Wedding - June 15, 2024 - Beverly, MA

One Step Ahead was SUCH a hit! Truly could not have asked for a better night. Thank you for having everyone dance the night away. Everything was fantastic.

A truly great time Jamie N. Newport Harbor Island Resort Wedding - June 8, 2024 - Newport, RI

Hi Tim and Dave,

Toasting you, your team and the band members to another AMAZING celebration and family milestone we can only begin to take in—only a day or two after the party!!!! Music means so much to all of us and the band, again, touched everyone. You know you are capturing hearts when, while you’re AT THE EVENT, family members, relatives, friends are openly complimenting the experience non-stop—and DANCING all night!

What a magnificent start to 2024 with you!

You made our wedding so memorable Whitney and Mike H. Barn at Gibbet Hill Wedding - November 24, 2023 - Groton, MA

Thank you so much! You guys were amazing! You made our wedding so memorable and special! We had such a fun night on the dance floor and so did our guests. We have had multiple guests contact us to tell us how great you were! Hope to see One Step Ahead again soon at another event/wedding!

You were all absolutely INCREDIBLE and everything we hoped for, for our wedding (truly cannot stress that enough!) All guests were singing your praises as well. Everyone had a BLAST! We will recommend you to anyone we hear of getting married! Thank you for a smooth planning process as well. Take care!

an absolute blast Alicia & Gabe T. Viewpoint Hotel Wedding - October 14, 2023 - York, ME

Dear WS,

Thank you for helping us celebrate and remember the best day of our lives. We sincerely appreciate your generosity and kindness, and for helping us get our marriage off to such a wonderful start with such an amazing party with One Step Ahead!

so much fun!! Charlotte & Robert C. Chatham Bars Inn Wedding - September 30, 2023 - Chatham, MA

Hi Dave,

Thank you for everything. We had so much fun!! So many guests said it was the best time they’ve had at a wedding. Please send our thanks to everyone in the office and at One Step Ahead as well. 

such an incredible night! Molly & Jon T. Spring House Hotel Wedding - September 22, 2023 - New Shoreham, RI

We wanted to thank you and the rest of One Step Ahead for such an incredible night! We all had an amazing time and we will definitely recommend you and the team for any future events. PS-Mr. Brightside was definitely a highlight for everyone’s night!!

the perfect wedding band Emily C. Boston Park Plaza Wedding - September 9, 2023 - Boston, MA

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!

Emily C.

exceptional talent Ellie & Vivek J. Mountain View Grand Resort - August 19, 2023 - Whitefield, NH

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. 

the music was perfect Elizabeth and Chris L. Willowdale Estate Wedding - July 1, 2023 - Topsfield, MA

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.

an absolute blast Allie B. Crystal Hills at the Rosebrook Lodge Wedding - June 10, 2023 - Jefferson, NH

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!!

Music was great, energy was even better! Marlaina R. Tupper Manor Wedding - June 3, 2023 - Beverly, MA

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!!!!

Keep up the great work and special energy! Leigh B. The Inn at Mystic Wedding - May 28, 2023 - Mystic, CT

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!

rave reviews Lauren & Michael O. Boston Marriott Burlington Wedding - December 31, 2022 - Burlington, MA

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!

the absolute best Pete and Emma N. Wequassett Resort & Golf Club Wedding - November 12, 2022 - Harwich, MA

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!!!

such a blast Katherine P. Granite Links Golf Club Wedding - October 1, 2022 - Quincy, MA

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!

the energy, the unbelievable talent, the entertainment, the vibe! Marin R. Private Residence Wedding - September 3, 2022 - Wellesley, MA

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. 

THE BAND MADE OUR NIGHT!!! Lauren and Kev G. Tewksbury Country Club - September 2, 2022 - Tewksbury, MA

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!

appreciation and gratitude Meredith and Jerry N. Wianno Club Wedding - August 6th, 2022 - Osterville, MA

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!

an incredible evening! Stephanie V. Ocean House Wedding - July 23, 2022 - Watch Hill, RI

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! 

One Step Ahead was wonderful! David D. Nantucket Hotel & Resort Wedding - June 24, 2022 - Nantucket, MA

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!

our guests were raving Anna H. Fruitlands Museum Wedding - June 11, 2022 - Harvard, MA

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!!

BLEW US AWAY Mary M. The Connors Center Wedding - June 4, 2022 - Dover, MA

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.

INCREDIBLE Meredith B. Nauticus Marina Wedding - October 2, 2021 - Osterville, MA

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 Julie G. Pine Orchard Yacht & Country Club Wedding - September 18, 2021 - Branford, CT

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 😉

packed the floor Julie N. Wychmere Beach Club Wedding - July 17, 2021 - Harwich Port, MA

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

a fantastic time Sabrina M. L'andana Wedding - May 30, 2021 - Burlington, MA

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!

an absolute party Kellie C. Nantucket Yacht Club Wedding - September 14, 2019 - Nantucket, ME

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.

It was a pleasure Sarah G., Creative Director/Owner of Daisies & Pearls Point Lookout Resort & Conference Center Wedding - September 7, 2019 - Northport, ME

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.

insanely talented Frances M. Asticou Inn Wedding - August 24, 2019 - Northeast Harbor, ME

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

absolutely incredible Caroline M. Newport Beach House Wedding - August 10, 2019 - Middletown, RI

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!

We had such a great time Amy G. & Jimmy Q. Chatham Bars Inn Wedding - August 3, 2019 - Chatham, MA

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!

people could not believe how great you all were Jon and Emily I. Mount Washington Resort Wedding - June 15, 2019 - Bretton Woods, NH

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.

We’ve heard from multiple guests who were beyond impressed Erin & David J. Harborview Jones Landing - Peaks Island Wedding - June 1, 2019 - Portland, MA

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.

the entire band was amazing and wonderful Lynn P. Nantucket Hotel & Resort Wedding - October 6, 2018 - Nantucket, MA

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.

EVERYONE raved Morgan B. Sankaty Head Golf Club Wedding - September 22, 2018 - Nantucket, MA

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!!!

One Step Ahead was outrageously wonderful Ellen A. Outermost Inn Wedding - September 15, 2018 - Aquinnah, MA

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 Bethany C. Aldrich Mansion Wedding - June 2, 2018 - Warwick, RI

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!
