“Wedding” out the storm

The lobster house was a wonderful venue for our small, intimate happily ever after celebration. We planned to have our ceremony followed by a cocktail hour on the pier and then a dinner in the upstairs room. However, due to the weather and severe storm we had to move everything indoors. The event coordinator, Sarah was absolutely amazing every step of the way! She was very responsive to my emails leading up to our special day and very helpful and accommodating when we had to make changes due to the weather. The entire staff were hard working, friendly and happy to be there working during our celebration! All of our guests had the best things to say about the food that was served, the service, the venue and the overall atmosphere and vibe. I was so impressed with how beautiful everything turned out.

Everything We Wanted and Than Some

Our wedding reception at The Lobster House was nothing short of magical. From our initial conversation with the event coordinator, who transformed our dreams into reality with effortless grace, to the exceptional staff who ensured every detail was taken care of, we felt pampered throughout the entire process.

Every member of the staff exuded warmth and professionalism, going above and beyond to make our guests feel welcomed and comfortable. Their attentiveness was not only a testament to their exceptional service but also added a personal touch that truly made our day special.

The 'upstairs room', where we held our reception, was a scene from a fairytale. Its location offered a spectacular view that served as an enchanting backdrop to our celebration. The room itself was spacious and accommodating, comfortably hosting all our guests while still maintaining an intimate ambiance. The nautical theme, subtly woven into the decor, was a delightful detail that gave our wedding a unique charm.

No review of The Lobster House would be complete without mentioning the exquisite food. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, with portions that left our guests satisfied and eager to praise the delicious fare. The quality and presentation were of the highest standard, matching the overall excellence of the event.

We felt like VIPs from the moment we stepped into The Lobster House until the last dance of the night. We wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone looking to host an unforgettable event. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at The Lobster House for giving us a wedding reception that exceeded our wildest dreams.
