Having live oyster shuckers at my wedding has always been a dream of mine and I’m SO HAPPY az oyster boys helped me make that dream come true! My guests are still raving about how cool, unique, and quintessentially “me” this touch was and I think it made my reception SO much more memorable. The oysters were delicious and the shuckers were super nice! Also, since I was having my reception at a restaurant I initially didn’t think they would allow outside food. I’m so glad I asked because they just needed some paperwork, which Mike from AZ Oyster Boys promptly provided, and all was good! I highly recommend to any oyster loving bride! You will NOT regret this!!
Absolutely recommend having the Oyster Boys at your wedding! They were genuine, communicative, professional, and the oysters were great. They were the talk of the night and all of our guests enjoyed them. We wish we had our own personal shuckers every night haha.
These guys are the real deal! We hired the Oyster Boys for an event in February and continue to use them over and over again. Mike is very friendly and always makes sure our guests are well taken care of and there are always enough oysters to go around. They have also been willing to work with us on budget and hours, depending on our different event needs.
As one does with wedding planning, we browsed through hundreds of vendors leading up to our wedding day, and we were so happy we came across the Oyster Boys! They over-exceeded our expectations. They offered to demo the service prior, added on an extra topping for free (the mezcal) and came dressed to the nines. My husband and I were throughly impressed. I was happy to write this review and definitely recommend them for your wedding.
To leave an honest review, my husband and I were between booking the Oyster Boys for cocktail hour or a "late night bite" vendor. In the end we chose the Oyster Boys and we were so glad we did! Most people do a late night bite, but I have yet to go to a wedding where they had oyster shuckers, so this really made our wedding feel unique. Mike and Emily were great to work with and the oysters were sizeable and delicious. Highly recommend.
We had a great oyster experience. The Oyster Boys were a great addition to our wedding and really stood out in their professional aprons, friendly attitudes, and delicious bucket of oysters. Great time and recommend them to anyone who appreciates great seafood.
My husband and I love a good fresh oyster, having both grown up in Maine. We absolutely loved having the Oyster Boys at our wedding and can not say enough wonderful things about them. They were easy to book, super friendly and fun to talk with on the day of, and most of our guests had never seen this before so it made our wedding feel even more special.
Mike and his team were great to work with and provided a fun unique experience to our wedding. Our guests were in love with the oysters and the gentlemen (and women!) shuckers were very nice. Planning was easy - we were booked within the day.
Oysters Boys were one of our favorite vendors we hired. If you love oysters, this should be a no brainer. They shuck and top right in front of you, pretty rad concept and one we had not seen before. I highly recommend adding the pineapple mezcal - they spray it into the oyster which was super fun.
If you are a foodie like I am, this is a must! We were intrigued by the concept and wanted something to elevate our wedding to be more elegant and upscale. Oyster Boys certainly delivered that and more. They all dress in white button ups and classy aprons, the oysters are fresh and delicious, and they worked with us to customize a topping we really wanted. Have already recommended them to many colleagues and friends!
What a fun and unique concept! We literally had the most amazing experience using Oyster Boys. They are very responsive, we paid to add caviar and liked that there were many options (my husband is a food snob), and we loved their shucking outfits. 10/10
The Oyster Boys provided phenomenal service, but beyond that, they were just wonderful to work with. Emily was super friendly over a call and described all the options and pricing with us. As soon as we got off, she sent over information and shortly after we booked! They followed up the day before and after the wedding to make sure we were 100% satisfied (we were!) We love oysters and this made such a wonderful wedding addition!
We had a great experience with the Oyster Boys! They showed up on time, came bearing fresh oysters, and made our guests happy. Everything was super easy to book and they were easy to get in touch with (which I can't say is true for all vendors!) I would suggest adding the extra toppings if you have the budget - guests raved about the bacon salt.
Working with the Oyster Boys was a pleasant experience from start to finish. Booking was easy and Emily was super responsive to all questions. They showed up on time with the oysters we chose and toppings. They made sure to walk the entire venue to make sure guests weren't missed and were super friendly. Would definitely recommend to other couples thinking about booking them!
We had a wonderful experience with the Oyster Boys and would recommend them to anyone we know. They were helpful, quick to respond, everything was fresh, and our guests loved it.
HIGHLY RECCOMMEND! Oysters Boys were the talk of the night! Having been to quite a few weddings, we wanted to do something unique other than just passed appetizers. My husband was looking around and came across the Oyster Boys and they ended up being one of our favorite parts of the wedding. The oysters were amazing and everyone was super easy to work with. We really like how they walk around and interact with each guest individually, it adds a personal touch. Great experience!
Both of our families are on the east coast and love oysters! This accompanied our wedding theme perfectly and added some flair. Our guests could not stop talking about the Oyster Boys and we couldn't either. So fun! Mike and Emily were great to work with and everything turned out perfect. Highly recommend for your wedding or next event!

Nothing to say except if you do not hire them you you will regret it. Your guests will rave. Your stomach will thank you. They were shucking awesome (get it?)
The oyster boys really made our wedding memorable for our guests. As opposed to a standalone bar or food station, they walked around and shucked the oysters for each guest individually. This made for a very personable experience we thought. We appreciated that Mike followed up afterwards for feedback and can honestly say we couldn't come up with a single negative. They really were amazing, definitely recommend them for your wedding.
We had a wonderful experience using the Oyster Boys for our wedding. They communicated clearly about options and pricing, worked with our budget and timelines, and the oysters were phenomenal. It was hard to stop going up to them. I am not sure I have had a better oyster, which is really saying something. Our guests give them a 10/10 too!
We used Oyster Boys for our golf season opener! Amazing concept I had not seen before. Hats off to our shuckers, everyone had an amazing time.
We had the most amazing experience with the Oyster Boys! They showed up early, were very professional, and our guests couldn't stop going on about how unique and cool it was. Many of our relative's are from the East Coast so appreciated the touch!
Great experience! You only get one wedding, so we splurged on the caviar add on which I would highly recommend (to my wife's dismay). Mike provides some pretty unique toppings, we also added some mezcal spray? Super great to work with, showed up on time, definitely have them at your wedding.
They were super quick to get back to us on pricing, availability, and options and communicated very clearly on the day of and prior. The oysters were great and our guests enjoyed the interactive experience of watching them shuck. I would recommend them to anyone.
My husband and I love oysters and the Oyster Boys delivered! We loved having them at our wedding and can not recommend them enough. Easy to book, came prepared with plenty of oysters in their buckets, and made our wedding night memorable for guests.
I am under the full belief that nothing is better than a freshly shucked oyster and that is exactly what the Oyster Boys deliver. They look very professional and sharp, the team is exceptionally prepared and communicative, and the oysters were damn good. 10/10
Our guests gushed over how cool the Oyster Boys were! We loved that they walked around with stylish belts and shucked in front of each guest. They looked super cool and professional and it definitely made our wedding feel unique. We both thought they were fairly priced and the quality of the seafood was superb. They even allow you to add on caviar (which we did, as we had a smaller wedding). Go Oyster Boys!
I usually don't write reviews, but Mike and Emily were absolutely phenomenal to work with. They offered to swing by and demo the experience, let us try the different oyster types, and threw in a "special" topping for free. I can not recommend them enough! If you are looking for a way to make your event more "upscale" I highly recommend! Our guests were very entertained and all the shuckers were super personable.
This was our favorite vendor we hired! Fresh oysters shucked in front of you? What more could you want! This was a great addition to our wedding and made it feel very upscale (we did black tie). We liked that they were super interactive with guests and had some fun oyster facts that our guests appreciated. It truly is the little things on your wedding day and they definitely went above and beyond we felt. The pricing was also right, as oysters can be sometimes $5 each at an upscale restaurant and they tout it being unlimited for guests. Great experience!
We hired the Oyster Boys for our daughters wedding and had a great experience. They quickly got back to us with pricing and sent over their contract for final review. It was a very simple process and they checked in the week before to make sure everything was still as discussed. The day of they showed up in uniform with their belts, provided exceptional service, and passed out some of the best oysters I think we may have ever had. Our family can easily say that we would recommend them to anyone.
The Oyster Boys were great! They provided stellar service, showed up on time, delivered fresh oysters, and had all of our guests raving, with the top comment being, "we have never seen this before!" I highly recommend Mike and his team.
