    “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.

    Best venue in Cape May without a doubt!

    Lobster House was seriously amazing! Sarah is fabulous and made everything happen without an ounce of stress. The staff were beyond nice and accommodating. The pier and banquet room were beautiful and spacious. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Lobster House far exceeded expectations! It was perfect all around. We could not have been more pleased. We highly recommend for any type of event.

    Welcome event

    We hosted our wedding welcome event at the Lobster House in the dock and it was perfect!! They arranged rentals of tents tables and chairs and hosted a cocktail style event for 90 of our wedding guests. Sarah and her team were great to work with and made our event an amazing success!

    Wedding Welcome Party

    My wife and I held our wedding "welcome party" on the pier at the Lobster House, and the evening was incredible. Coordinating with Sarah and the rest of the Lobster House team was an absolute pleasure, and they made us feel very accommodated on such an important night of our lives. The food was great and the service was even better. We highly recommend hosting your next event here!

    A Perfect Wedding Venue

    We had our wedding at the Lobster House in October 2022. We chose it because we love the food and the atmosphere. The ceremony took place on the pier behind the restaurant and dinner immediately followed on the second floor.

    The second floor had the most amazing views of the water and was the perfect setting for some beautiful photos. The service was impeccable, so many of our guests remarked on how attentive and welcoming the staff was. The food was outstanding, from the drinks to the appetizers to the entrees.

    Sarah, the event coordinator, was so wonderful to work with. She was very helpful from the beginning, from the early planning stages to setting up the day before, and until the event concluded. She was very accommodating with menu requests, decorating, and coordinating every aspect of the day.

    We had the perfect wedding and our guests had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend the Lobster House if you are looking for an intimate wedding venue with an outstanding menu. It made for such a memorable night and we plan to celebrate every anniversary there.

    This was the perfect way to have a wedding. From the overall experience to the food, we couldn’t have picked a better spot.

    The Lobster House was not only amazingly accommodating, but insanely affordable. If you are looking to host your wedding or even private event, I cannot begin to rave more about the Lobster House. Sarah made planning so easy. She is one of a kind.

    The Lobster House

    I decided to have my wedding at the Lobster house because I have worked there for 23 years. The staff has become family and they treat their patrons the same way. The price point was amazing as well as the beautiful view that overlooked the harbor. I decided to do my ceremony and reception all in the upstairs banquet room. Not only was Sarah extremely helpful with making my decisions but she made sure all my vendors had things where I specified. Our bartender went above and beyond for my guests as well as the serving staff. At the end up the night they assisted with clean up and it made taking home all my decor that much easier. I would recommend the lobster house to anyone who is looking for a beautiful intimate wedding.

    The most perfect wedding ceremony location!

    I had my wedding ceremony at the Lobster house and it was everything I had hoped for and more. Not only is it the most perfect location with an amazing view, the staff was incredibly helpful and easy to work with! They were also very responsive and professional. I could not recommend this location any more!

    Amazing wedding

    The Lobster House did and amazing job to make our day special. The staff was fantastic, food and appetizers delicious.
    Our family and friends have been telling us that this was one of the best wedding they have ever attended. Sarah the restaurant advent coordinator went above and beyond along with a staff to make our wedding perfect.
    Our wedding day was a special one for the lobster house. We had our ceremony some where special on the property and then We moved to the pier for cocktail hour and then to the upstairs dinning area that was beautiful decorated for a wonderful dinner.
    We want to thank the owners Keith , Sarah and the wonderful staff at the Lobster House for the most perfect wedding day ever.

    Amazing Rehearsal Dinner

    My husband and I hosted our rehearsal dinner and welcome party for our wedding guests on the Pier at the Lobster House. We were beyond thrilled at how our event turned out!

    Sarah, the event coordinator, worked with us through multiple date changes due to Covid. She couldn't have been kinder and more understanding to our situation, and helped us plan an amazing party.

    The pier was the perfect location for our event - we were able to host 40 people for dinner, followed by an open bar for 100 guests. The food and drinks were incredible, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Sarah allowed us to drop off decor the week before and set up everything beautifully.

    We lucked out with perfect weather, but regardless it would have been the perfect location - watching the sun set on the marina during dinner was absolutely amazing. Our guests have not stopped raving about how incredible and unique of a venue the Lobster House was!

    The most amazing experience of our lives!

    We got married at The Lobster House on 4/13/2019 and it was absolutely amazing. The staff was so accommodating and helpful to our wants and needs, and made our experience 1000% better, even during the planning. The even coordinator was there anytime I needed to reach out with any questions, and I reached out A LOT. They allowed us to bring in our own decorations so we could decorate the space how we envisioned. We had a few hours the night before to decorate, and were able to have a few hours the day after to finish cleaning up and get our belongings. Our wedding was a little different than normal, as we did not serve alcohol, but they were so accommodating and had the bar filled with La Croix seltzers and other soft drinks, water, tea, and coffee. They even had a place for us to set up a coffee bar separate from the regular bar. The dessert table they helped set up was absolutely beautiful, and the linens used throughout were gorgeous. They had SO many colors and options for linens to choose from, and that made it so easy to pull together the vision we had in mind. Their food options were plentiful, and they offered special meals for our guests who had specific dietary restrictions. They also have a beautiful blue hutch that they kept in the space for us and allowed us to use it as a cigar bar! Our night also included access to the pier, where we had a few tables and outdoor games set up. It was so magical.

    The dining room is gorgeous, and the pictures from inside are beautiful. The outside of the restaurant offered many spots for beautiful outdoor pictures, as well.

    The staff was so amazing all night, and met all of our needs plus more. They made sure mine and my husband’s drinks were always full, and got us anything that we needed, when we needed it. They were so kind, so helpful, and so delightful to be around.

    The space was absolutely PERFECT. The table set up was amazing, and left just enough room for people to mingle around and chat away from the tables. There was plenty of room on and around the dance floor, even with the DJ and a photobooth set up next to it.

    Our experience with The Lobster House is something we will never forget, and will always be grateful for. We already loved it as a restaurant and frequented it often, but this made us love it even more. Thank you so much for everything, The Lobster House family. We love you!

    We chose the Lobster House pier as our venue for our wedding reception. It could not have been more beautiful or amazing. Elizabeth Mestre, their wedding and event coordinator, was so helpful and she pulled the vision I had for my wedding together so well. If you're looking for a wedding or event venue in Cape May, and you don't want to have the same ballroom venue as everyone else, use the Lobster House. So many wedding guests told me it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to.

    My now husband and I held our rehearsal dinner at the Lobster House in June and it was absolutely perfect! Liz was wonderful to work with and she and her staff pulled off a perfect night. Service was wonderful, the appetizer buffet was perfect and from salad to dessert everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. We really enjoyed having the private upstairs room to see the beautiful boats and harbor and it made it so special for us to share with our guests. We'd highly recommend the Lobster House for a rehearsal dinner or wedding event!

    The Pier at The Lobster House was the venue for our spectacular outdoor wedding. The venue is a unique waterfront dock that was tented for the wedding. The food, service and atmosphere were extraordinary. If you are looking to have an outdoor wedding in Cape May, our experience was perfect beyond our hopes and expectations.

    Beautiful Place for Great Value, Food, and an Amazing Time!

    I grew up in Cape May and spent a lot of my time visiting the Lobster House. My grandmother had her reception there when I was about 6 years old. When looking at different venues in Cape May, it was nearly impossible to find a place that wouldn't totally break your bank. When I saw how beautiful a wedding could be at the Lobster House and affordable, I was sold instantly! The beautiful outdoor pier allows for a stunning ceremony, and you can even have the whole event out there if you would like! The Lobster House gives so many flexible options to give you the wedding you wish for. I had my ceremony on the pier outside and my cocktail hour and reception in their upstairs room that has a bar and a dance floor. I had about 100 guests (not too big not too small) and it fit everyone very nicely. Looked like a packed party! Another great thing about the Lobster House is you can count on the food being delicious! There are so many great entree choices to choose from for a very affordable price. Sarah, the Lobster House Event Coordinator was so great to work with. She was so accommodating and made sure things were exactly how I pictured it. She will work closely with you up until the big day! The staff did a great job making sure the day ran smoothly, and the room was set up as planned. The possibilities are endless at the Lobster House and it is a unique venue that will help make your day stand out. Contact Sarah at the Lobster House to see pictures from previous weddings! She would be happy to share. Overall, beautiful venue that won't break your bank and you get to be right in Cape May, NJ!
