"Best wedding food we ever had!"

While shifting plans for our small (Covid-Era) wedding, we hired Ipswich Clambake to provide the food for our special day. The food was incredible! Our friends and family are still raving about it three months later. "Best wedding food we ever had!" they say. We're so happy we got to have a unique clambake experience for our beachy backyard wedding. Steamers, lobsters, steak tips - the dream wedding food! The staff was so professional, respectful and responsible with COVID-safe protocol. They made sure everyone was taking the proper precautions to stay safe, and we're so friendly and easy to work with. I recommend Ipswich Clambake to everyone and hope to work with them again for future events. Thanks so much everyone!

Hands down, best rehearsal dinner ever!! My husband and I wanted a casual backyard clambake so we hired Ipswich Clambake Company. They were extremely professional and fun to work with. They arrived right on time, just as we were running out the door to the rehearsal. When we came back, the grill was fired up, the tables were set and we were ready to party! The food was absolutely delicious! People went up for seconds and thirds!! They went above and beyond to accommodate children, vegetarians, and food allergies. They even packed up the leftovers for us and we ate them the very next day! I will definitely hire them the next time we host a clambake!!
