East Coast Clambakes was a HIT!
My guests will not stop talking about how delicious the food was for our wedding welcome party at the beach.
As a bride, Justin and the team were SO EASY to work with.
Very responsive via email, professional, kind, and patient with all our questions. Their team handled everything in terms of set up and clean up and providing all the utensils, serve ware, drink ware, etc. The lobster was DELICIOUS as well as the mac and cheese, cornbread, and mashed potatoes. They were hands down the easiest vendor to work with. Would highly recommend them. The pricing was fair and worth the value. Hopefully can work with them again.
So pleased with the service we received from the Clambake team! We felt comfortable with them from our initial conversation back in January. Along the way they were prompt and helpful with answering my many questions. On my wedding day they were great. Everyone loved the food, especially the lobster and chowder. Justin, John and the team couldn’t have been more professional. We absolutely loved them and can’t wait to call them back for a different event.
We hired East Coast Clambakes for an engagement party and were impressed by their great food, professional conduct, and friendly communication. From the moment they arrived John and Scott were very polite as they got the layout and timetable details of the venue, then set up their cooking area quickly and quietly. They were in constant communication and kept their cool on one of the hottest days in CT last week, and made sure everything was smooth and ready for service. The food was amazing and everyone that critiqued it had positive notes. The only reason that this is not a 5-star review is that the raw oysters were a little underwhelming- very small, several bits of shell, and some looked like they had been chopped up and portioned back into shells for the event. Otherwise the experience was excellent and would definitely book them again, just not with oysters, maybe other hors d’ouevres instead.
Fabulous service! Great people to work with and very accommodating. The lobster was delicious and we will definitely be using them again for our family reunions!
East Coast Clambakes was great. Our wedding went very smoothly and the buffet was delicious. Highly recommend.
Kevin and his team at East Coast Clambakes do it all! We did not have to worry about a single thing the day of our wedding because they covered every detail. From the food to the setup and helpful staff members we couldn’t have dreamed of a better day. We had so many guests raving about the service and food from our wedding and rehearsal. I could not recommend them more!
Kevin and his team at East Coast Clambakes were a huge hit at our wedding this summer. We really wanted to show our extended families the traditional lobster bake experience and were very happy with the entire buffet. From the lobster to the clam chowder to the mashed potatoes, everything was a hit. My family from down south can't stop talking about it! Kevin was easy to work with and quick to respond which was a huge plus. I definitely recommend them if you're looking for seafood and lobster at your wedding!
My Husband and I wanted an authentic New England clambake for our reception and are so happy we used East Coast Clambakes to help us. I felt so comfortably with them the entire time. The owner was so responsive to my many questions and helped with anything I needed. On the day of our wedding everything went so smooth. The food was absolutely delicious and my guests loved it. Thank you so much East Coast Clambames!
My husband and I used East Coast Clambakes for our wedding and could not have been happier with the results. Everything was made simple thanks to Kevin and his crew. From choosing our appetizers to setting up a timeline, we could not have asked for an easier time planning our big day. Our guests were raving about the food, and some of them are still asking us for Kevin's contact info to do their parties or weddings. Justin and I highly recommend East Coast Clambakes to anyone looking to have a clambake at their wedding or party.
