“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.
