I would and will recommend Clambakes, Etc. to anyone and everyone! Simply perfect. Everything, from beginning to end. All staff members I dealt with were extremely professional, from first conversation to last. Our guests were STUNNED at the delicious foods, beautiful setup and wonderfully kind staff members!! You can tell they all absolutely loved their job and loved being there, TRUE hospitality. The day of manager on September 16th, Cam was there every step of the way making sure I was happy and had everything I needed. Jason, Cathy, Dennis were extremely wonderful and pleasant to work with every step of the way. Our guests won’t stop raving and wanting to relive our dinner rehearsal! NEITHER CAN I!

Incredible food and so reliable!

We had a 100 person "backyard wedding" in Wareham and Clambakes Etc. catered both the wedding and the rehearsal dinner and we were BEYOND impressed! We truly could not have had a better experience, everyone absolutely raved about the food both nights and still comment on it 6 months later! The teams were so friendly, prompt, professional, and accommodating - they handled EVERYTHING and I never once had to worry about whether or not things were getting done. I absolutely recommend this company to provide the catering for any event you have and we will come up with an excuse to have another party on the Cape soon just to use them again! 10/10.

We photographed a rehearsal dinner in late July of 2016 at a beautiful field near the Glen Manor in Rhode Island alongside Clambakes, etc. The staff of Clambakes, etc. was super friendly and very cool with us taking some fun photos of the lobsters and clams before they reached the tables! We were able to enjoy the food as well, and we are still talking about how amazing it was over a year later!
