Ian and his team always go above and beyond! We had a wedding during Covid so we had just 15 people and we surprised our guests with the ocean Ave stompers! It was the cherry on top of amazing evening. Ian also puts together an amazing full band! We attended a friends wedding and it was the best band we have ever heard!

We had the BEST time with the Ocean Avenue Stompers at our wedding. We got married during COVID and were really limited on how we could celebrate, how/what music we played, and dancing indoors was totally off limits. The Ocean Avenue stompers surprised everyone at the wedding played a set for us outside on the boardwalk (we got married by the beach). One of the most memorable parts of our wedding was dancing on the boardwalk with my hubby and close friends and family while the Stompers played. Ian was so easy to work with and the group really made our wedding so special! Our guests are still talking about it! Don't hesitate to hire them for your big day!

I’ve been seeing the Ocean Ave Stompers play in Asbury Park for years and they always put on the most incredible show, so I knew they had to play mine and my husbands wedding in the Catskills. We met with Ian a few times before the wedding to discuss what we were looking for and we immediately knew we made the right decision. They put on the most incredible show at our wedding. You can’t compare them to any other “wedding band”. They are authentic and played music that we loved, and that you would never normally hear at a wedding. (Which is exactly what we wanted.) Every 120 of our guests were on the dance floor all night. Not only did the band set the mood for the night, but Ian did such a good job MCing the wedding. He was so genuine and did a great job remembering all of the small details about our friends and family. The sound during the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception was so clear and there was not one issue with sound the whole night. THANK YOU IAN AND THE OCEAN AVE STOMPERS FOR THE BEST NIGHT OF OUR LIVES.

What a show! The Stompers absolutely blew the roof off the joint, keeping the dance floor not just packed but everyone singing along and dancing their hearts out all night long. There was never a dull moment and never a rest between songs. The song selection, arrangements, and overall vibe were like the best concert we've ever been to, but it was our wedding. A special shout out to their arrangements of Pink Pony Club and I Don’t Want to Go Home, learned for our wedding, and an absolutely ripping Tenth Avenue Freeze Out that doubled as both our entrance song and a big club hit at the end of the night. They even let me and my friends (we were all in a busking band in NZ), as well as my dad (an accomplished accordian player) join for a super jam! All night, we kept hearing from our guests how incredible the band was, and we have to agree!

We closed the night with DJ Ian playing dance music for the final hour, with some help from the stompers horn section toward the end. Really can’t think of a better set or show, loved every second. And now we can go catch them on Mondays at R Bar to keep the party going!
