Foster's Catering & Events

m lobster, and Foster’s made that possible. This team is great to work with compared to other venues that pump out more than one wedding per weekend in the area. Everything from our cocktail hour food and service, bar staff, wait staff, main course, event staff, parking, decorations, place settings, outdoor fire pits, restrooms, tables and chairs, was absolutely perfect! The venue speaks for itself, especially when the string lights come on heading into the night. My mom was a creative/pinterest MOB and made some out-of-the-box decor, and this crew let her be creative and do what she envisioned. When everything finally came together, it was a dream. I can’t say enough fantastic things about this venue and crew! All our hometown guests couldn’t believe how we found such a great spot, and our out of town guests felt spoiled (we all were). Highly recommended to anyone looking for a big space and wish to serve and treat their guests to a traditional Maine feast and experience! Infinity stars!!!!!

every last detail was how we wanted and was SO helpful through the entire planning process and was on top of everything on the day of the wedding. Staff was also very professional, friendly, and hardworking. The event areas were clean and easy to bring your own vision to. Very reasonable pricing, and all of our guests had a BLAST.

and answer all of our questions. We sure did have a lot! The staff was very professional and even came to dance with the bride for a little bit while on break. It was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious, hot, and timely. One of the most professional staff I have ever worked with.

g was! They seriously have the best food ever! They made my wedding a dream come true. We had a big white tent out back by the pond. It was so magical!

eptember 2017 they made great additions to the venue. My husband and I wanted a rustic-ish wedding in Maine and Foster's was the perfect spot. They worked within our budget to produce a wedding that our friends and family cannot stop talking about. Clearly professionals, the planning was almost too easy with their staff who tolerated my many questions, visits, and phone calls. Jenna and Beth made every hope, thought, and idea of my wedding come true. The food was unbelievable and everyone really enjoyed it especially the 'Maine' feel of it all. I was very impressed how their team took on the set-up and decorating of the venue with my MANY decorations to personalize the space. ( Every other bride I spoke to couldn't believe this was part of my package.) We were suppose to be married by the pond, have an outdoor cocktail hour and move inside for dinner and the reception.... Mother Nature had another plan for us. To be honest until that weekend, I had never considered a rain plan but that's why I'm so happy I was at Foster's. With no prompting, they took it on themselves to develop a plan which went off without a hitch. Everything had to be held inside and I have to say now, I can't imagine it any other way. The night-of, Jenna and her staff were so attentive to everyone's needs and were beyond professional in every aspect. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the venue and the amazing team behind the scenes! Thank you Jenna, Beth, and everyone else who made our day perfect!

place, the experience of a real traditional clambake and being able to see it being cooked etc. They set up the York room for our family and it was PERFECT!

st the clambake onsite and provided great service. They customized to what we wanted on the day of, arranged to set up the tables and really took care of everything including making sure my husband and I had a chance to taste all the appetizers before they were all gobbled up. Fosters really took the time to listen to what we want and delivered on alovely, fun, and authentic experience for our guests.

since I was planning from across the country! Both Beth and Kevin are pros and just an absolute pleasure to work with! They will put those wedding jitters at ease. Then there is the food... I highly recomend Sarah's menu, which was absolutely delicious. I wanted a Maine dinner, without the mess of a lobster dinner and Sarah's menu was a perfect solution to that. The lobster meat is served out of it's shell in such a fresh unique way. Our guests absolutely loved it!

u) probably almost more than the food at the actual wedding. Everyone kept going up for seconds! I would definitely recommend working with Foster's for your wedding or rehearsal dinner!

is that they forgot the dessert which was a bummer, but when we called about it after the wedding they quickly offered a partial refund for forgetting.

icient and the entire event was really the "Maine" experience the couple had hoped for. Maine lobster (my first)cooked right outside with sweet corn, steamers and clam chowder. Being from the south, and a newbie to this New England tradition, my husband and I loved every minute of it. Spectacular beaches in the area as well!

rful to work with every step of the way. The food was incredible and our guests continue to comment on both the quality and quantity of their meal. I would highly recommend Fosters if you are looking for a traditional New England clambake and want your guests to leave full and happy! Thank you, Fosters!

ere that we wanted. They were very professional but also very personal and caring. Mary Beth and Beth were just incredible. And the guests said the food was the best wedding food they have ever had! Thanks Fosters!

the field they have outback overlooking an adorable pond, and they provided the arbor for us. We had our reception inside the big room at Foster's but the doors were open so people could float in and out as they pleased. It was absolutely beautiful and totally relaxed, everything we ever could have imagined. Beth Wilson is amazing! She is the reason I chose Foster's in the first place!! She is so down to earth and calm so she can keep the brides calm through the whole process. I brought her my decor the day before/morning of the wedding and she totally did everything! When I walked inside after the ceremony it was a complete surprise how everything had been set up and I was speechless, she made everything absolutely perfect so I didn't have to worry about any of it! Not only are all of the staff at Foster's great, but their food is phenomenal! We had Lobster, Chicken, and Eggplant Parmesan for our meal choices. Everyone loved their meal & the portions were perfect! As far as the cost goes for this venue, totally reasonable for what we got! We had about 110 people, and we had our ceremony and reception here, we had a cash bar, but Foster's took care of everything. We paid around $7500-$8000 for everything I would say. All in all, Foster's was the perfect place for our wedding and I wouldn't change anything about that day. Everyone should seriously consider Foster's for their wedding or reception they are amazing!

to a ballroom that had rustic elegance. The lights and candles, once the sun went down, made the whole scene glow, and the autumn pumpkins and hay bales gave the place a fairy tale feel. It was a truly special setting for our wonderful reception. Oh, and the food??? The appetizers were to die for, and our guests loved the scallops wrapped in bacon and our special-made empanadas. Guests had a choice between lobster, beef tenderloin, or a vegetarian meal, and the food was incredible. My lobster came with clams, mussels, potatoes, corn, and chowder. Don't forget the chowder! Kevin Tacy, the owner, made us feel right at home. There is a picture of him with former President George H. W. Bush in the hallway by the offices, and it's clear that he knows what he's doing. When we were touring, we were sold on his warmth and genuine kindness. Beth, the manager, was who we spoke to about the details. As we got closer to the date of our reception, we spoke with her often. Nothing made my wife feel better than talking with Beth. Beth understood the kind of event we were looking to have, assured us that she had everything under control, and delivered beyond our expectations. We could not be happier with Foster's! I couldn't recommend them enough!

nd delicious, and they work with you to make sure everything is perfect.

Two days before the wedding she walked us through the timing of the ceremony, h'odervers, cocktail hour, announcements, when the food would be served, dancing, when the cake would be cut etc. She left no detail unattended to. She's an absolute pro and that's huge because brides for the most part are complete amateurs when it comes to weddings! I LOVE clambakes and getting messy, but we expressed to Kevin, the owner, that we wanted a meal that was a little more refined for our big wedding day. That is exactly what they provided. It was gourmet! He and his staff came up with a meal and h'orderves that people are still talking to me about today! We had the A team! (this goes for all of our venders!)

did everything possible to make sure the day went smoothly. The food is pretty basic, but hey, it's lobster, and it's good. You get to eat with a bib, and it's a lot of fun. The pavilion was decorated beautifully and the grounds are beautiful as well - huge grassy yard and a pond.

on before the wedding, and she was super late (over an hour). I was told that the twinkle lights that were burnt out would be replaced before the reception - they were not. We arrived at the reception site to find out that guests were being charged for beverages at the bar - the contract stated open bar. Beth went around to the tables to apologize and to inform them to get their money back from the bartender. Beth apologized profusely for that mistake and made it up to us on the final cost of the open bar. Guests requesting a vegetarian entree were given microwaved eggplant parm (think Lean Cuisine). The good: Everyone had such a great time. There was no screw ups (that I'm aware of) for food - everyone got what they ordered. Everything was delicious. We were able to get hard shell lobsters for an additional $2/lobster. Completely affordable at about $35/pp, which included chowder, mussels/clams, lobster or chicken, corn, potatoes, and blueberry cobbler. I was worried that 2-7pm would be too short of a time frame, but it really worked out perfectly. Beth had great suggestions for set up. We were able to bring our own apps and desserts instead of ordering through them (but they do offer that service).

ce she was going to be on-site day-of. The staff is incredible; they listen to what you want and execute it without trouble, they're kind to guests, and especially important: very quick to respond to questions when planning everything in advance! The lobsterbake was wonderful. Also important to us was the ability to offer a vegan meal for friends and family. Foster's whipped up a homemade vegan lasagna that I'm told was really delicious. No one left the reception hungry! Their portions are very generous. The ceremony location is pretty, the reception venue is pretty...There isn't a bad thing I can say about Foster's. It's truly a gem with a wonderful staff. Plus, how can you beat a place that has volleyball, horseshoes and shuffleboard out back for your guests?

lobter, it was helpful for our Ohio guest.

and efficient, and always had a smile on their face. I believe they all truly had a great time as well. We had a tented reception on the ocean for a semi-formal occasion. Foster's fit in so well - it truly was the best elegant yet rustic lobster bake and our guests LOVED it as well!

ed!! We then had our reception in their indoor paviollion, which is very spacious and was decorated to perfection by the wonderful staff! Beth Wilson is the Wedding Coordinator and she is awesome!! She worked so hard on everything and it all turned out beauiful!! They even did some special requests for us at no extra charge!! And it was very affordable for 80 guests with lobster dinner and an open bar!! I highy reccommend Fosters!!
