Celebrations on the Pier

A Maine Institution
Since 1932, Beal's Lobster Pier has operated as a year-round working fish and lobster pier. For nearly a century, the same fishing practices have unfolded here, with fishermen tying off their boats, splicing lines, and hauling in their traps and nets. In 1969, the Beal family decided to open up a restaurant on the premises, and it was an instant hit, giving guests an authentic New England experience while they dined on the finest seafood around. Now, you're able to host your own intimate wedding celebration at the dockside restaurant with up to 100 of your loved ones.
Your Wonderful Day
At Beal's Lobster Pier, you can exchange vows in a romantic ceremony right on-site. The dock is an ideal setting for a wedding photoshoot, especially at golden hour, with the sparkling Atlantic as your backdrop. Inside, you'll find a cozy setting with wood-paneled ceilings and plenty of natural light. Your wedding reception package at Beal's Lobster Pier includes beverage services, with local craft beers, fine wines, and premium liquors available. Chairs, tables, and decor are also included. For your meal, expect all kinds of seafood options, like local Maine oysters and mussels, shrimp, haddock, and of course, lobster. Just reach out to the events team today for more information about your perfect day at Beal's Lobster Pier.

We had such a wonderful experience at Beal’s Lobster Pier! We chose to have dinner here the night before our wedding, and it was the perfect way to kick off such a special weekend....
The atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing, the seafood was incredibly fresh, and every meal was delicious. We had a group of 18 and every single meal was exceptional.
The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The took care of every detail and made it truly the best I could have imagined. Sharing amazing food with our family and friends while overlooking the water created memories we’ll always cherish. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate the evening before our wedding.
Thank you, Beal’s Lobster Pier, for helping make our wedding weekend even more special. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area! 🦞❤️
