Why Book Us?
The Ocean Ave Stompers were the highlight of our wedding! We got married Nov 7, 2020 and had a small intimate wedding of 15 people. My husband and I surprised our family with having the Ocean Ave Stompers come play! It was amazing! While planning with Ian he shared a Spotify playlist of how the event would go and I could change up the order if I wanted. The whole thing was so seamless and enjoyable! Everyone had an amazing time and the pictures are out of this world!
We also attended a wedding this year that Ian put together the wedding band and it was amazing! He certainly has a great talent and passion for music!
