Lobster Bake Reception Dinner

Cocktail hour and dinner were highlights, featuring many classic Maine dishes and flavors. In addition to a raw bar stocked with fresh jumbo shrimp and oysters displayed in a rowboat, guests nibbled on inspired appetizers like chicken satay, bruschetta on edible spoons, vegetable egg rolls and more during cocktail hour. Singer Isaiah Bennett provided just the right amount of ambiance for the laid-back affair, and guests enjoyed beautiful views of the water while sipping on signature cocktails and playing lawn games like corn hole. Whitney and Mathew skipped the traditional sit-down dinner or buffet, opting instead for a series of stations that allowed guests to mix and mingle. A made-to-order pasta station, a beef tenderloin carving station and a lobster station were huge hits with the couple’s families and friends.
