The perfect wow moment for any wedding!

My partner loves oysters and wanted them to be part of our wedding. Red Oyster presents oysters in a really fun, interactive and unique way. Our guests were wowed and mentioned how fresh the product was. The two servers that worked our event, Lianne and Anna, were extremely professional!

AMAZING decision for our wedding

My husband and I got married this weekend, and Oystertainment was THE hit of our wedding. Our guests have not stopped raving about how wonderful, professional and friendly the Oystertainers were, how delicious the oysters and oyster shooters were, and what a unique experience it was. Oystertainment was easily the best vendor decision we made, and were worth every penny. We also can't say enough about how easy they were to work with, especially given the uncertainty of the pandemic. We couldn't recommend them more highly for couples who are looking for something fun, unique and completely memorable.
