I grew up going to the Lobster Pound with my family for a "special" night out during our family vacations in York. When we started looking for a reception venue, I was THRILLED to see that the Lobster Pound offered wedding receptions. Melissa is nothing short of amazing. She is so laid back and takes all of the stress off of your shoulders. She just has such a calming and fun demeanor about her, you instantly know you're in good hands. Plus she's super organized, not one detail was overlooked. We had a daytime cocktail reception and everything was perfect. She and the staff set up food stations, plus had passed appetizers, and the flow of the room worked perfectly. Two months later, and our guests are STILL raving about the food! They even made plates for my husband and I to have something to eat, because they're right....you never eat at your own wedding. The food was outstanding (beef teryaki, deviled eggs, and lobster rolls were the big hits with our crew). Melissa also organized things with me (the DIY bride) and met with me a few days before the wedding with all of my crafty things.....I showed her everything, explained how I would like it to look, and she completely took care of everything. When I walked into the reception, everything looked even better than I could ever imagine.
Our toast ended up being closer to the stage, and not by our table where our toasting glasses were. Honestly I didn't even realize we didn't have glasses for our toast, we were just standing up there, smiling and enjoying every minute. Then when it came time to raise our glasses, there was Melissa, smiling, with our toasting glasses and champagne for us! She really looked out for us. As did the staff. The staff and Melissa really looked after my 87 year old Grammie and kept checking to make sure she had everything she needed. The staff, the food, and especially Melissa all went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for, and we had the perfect day thanks to the Lobster Pound

We could not be happier with the Cape Neddick Lobster Pound, Melissa, and the staff. The location is beautiful. The food was fantastic (Lobster mac & cheese, YUM!). Everyone was so accommodating and responsive. Melissa always made the time to meet with us, answers emails, questions... I highly recommend the Lobster Pound, Maine at it's finest!

We had a fantastic wedding at the Cape Neddick Lobster Pound-Harborside Restaurant. The staff was amazing! Our coordinator Melissa was so easy to work with and prompt at answering our questions. She went above and beyond for our day providing extra flowers and decor for our ceremony and reception. The food was not only delicious, but the portions were generous. You get excellent value for what you pay and the opportunity to personalize your wedding/reception. The atmosphere was perfect. We could not have asked for a better place to be married!
