What Clients Say About Us

“Coastal critters did our wedding rehearsal/lobster bake dinner for 40 people, and I have to say I wish I let them convince me to do the full wedding dinner!! (So many folks tried to tell me lobster is 'too messy' for a wedding. They were wrong!) Well, the price was unbeatable, the service was superb, and everyone had a blast. Who comes to Maine and doesn't need a Maine Lobster? The experience was top notch. CC's team traveled about an hour to our venue, did all the prep and cleanup super fast and tidy, and were extremely professional.”

“Coastal Critters catered for our outdoor oceanfront wedding in June, in Maine, and did a fantastic job! James was great to work with and easy to communicate with. The staff was also great, and the food was phenomenal! We are still getting compliments weeks after on the food they served. We selected the option of lobster and steak, which came with potatoes, corn, salad, and bread. Everything was hot and served well. Coastal Critters also did our cocktail hour with cheese and vegetable platters. They also did our dessert for everyone.”
