Roxanne, Michelle, and their crew are an absolute dream to work with. They were helpful and responsive in every step of the process, from selecting menu items to accomodating dietary restrictions to their impeccable and professional presentation. Their culinary creations are delicious and their menu options are expansive. With Foster's, we were able to stay comfortably within our budget without having to restrict our choices. We selected family-style presentation for our reception and the portions were more than generous. Our guests have not stopped raving about the food since the wedding. Foster's is incredible and we cannot recommend them enthusiastically enough!

My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the stunning York Harbor Reading Room. We…read morevisited numerous potential wedding venues in southern Maine, but nothing felt right until we came across the Reading Room. We fell instantly in love with the incredible ocean view, the beautiful interior, the out-of-this world food, and with Mary, the on-site wedding coordinator. A month has passed since our wedding, and my husband and I are honestly a little sad we no longer have an excuse to interact with Mary. She has coordinated weddings at the Reading Room for years, and is a master. There is no detail that escapes her inquiry. She will ask about set up, timelines, preferences, food, flowers, and will coordinate with all your vendors. My husband and I pride ourselves on being detail oriented, but we were surprised by the things that had escaped our attention that revealed themselves during discussions with Mary. But more than just details, Mary is a joy to work with. She is kind and funny, and it is obvious that even after dozens of weddings, she really enjoys them. In fact, Mary seemed to enjoy our wedding day as much as us. You will not be disappointed by the York Harbor Reading Room. We highly recommend it.

Everything "d" said below pretty much outlines our experience with Lisa as well. She is so easy to…read morework with-- she makes every event personal and makes sure you're happy every step of the way. And she always seems excited to do so, which is really important. She planned our rehearsal dinner/cocktail party and I really had no idea what I wanted, but it turned out to be a stunning, classy event with amazing food and drinks. People still haven't stopped raving about it. Not only that, but when my wedding caterer bailed (and she wasn't even planning that event), I knew I could email her and she would have someone else on hand that we could use. Sure enough, we were able to track down an available caterer through her contacts, and the food at the wedding was flawless. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lisa to anyone. I can't wait to see what she does next!

When we reached out to the One Hundred Club and spoke with the Director of Events, Lisa Sammons, she turned what was a difficult decision into one of the easiest. We were immediately impressed by her professionalism and warm demeanor and decided to have our reception at the club. After the location was finalized, Lisa unexpectedly volunteered to assist in finding area vendors. When planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to have a local theme. The search for florists and bakeries went from an impersonal Google search to specific recommendations from Lisa, none of which we would have been able to find on our. Her network and knowledge of vendors in the area allowed us to secure vendors providing exactly what we wanted at the price we wanted. The stress of searching for the right chairs, tablecloths, place cards and champagne was gone after we started working with Lisa. She continuously went above and beyond her duties to ensure our wedding reception went off without a hitch. We're convinced she even scheduled the perfect sunset after the summer storm. We would highly recommend Lisa to friends and family for all their event planning needs.

As a bride, I didn't need a lot of help on the creative side, but Mandy's help was crucial to getting everything executed. Without her organization and recommendations for vendors, I guarantee we would have arrived at our wedding day with a lot of enthusiasm and very little actual wedding Also, I appreciated throughout the process that when I wanted to go with my own vendor or DIY, Mandy was very open to those ideas- I never felt pushed to choose someone she prefers to work with or anything like that. As a fellow wedding vendor, we have collaborated since and it has been a joy to watch her creative design and styling process as well. Mandy has extremely chic taste, and yet she is a chameleon when it comes to creating events and inspiration shoots that are unique, creative, and show incredible variety. It is always a pleasure to work with her and see what she comes up with. I highly recommend bringing Mandy in to make your planning process as smooth as possible, resulting in the wedding you wanted, elevated.

They would not return our deposit after covid caused us to cancel our 2020 wedding plans (due to…read morestate laws, not our own choice). Their justification was that they gave us until the next year to reschedule, but that's not an option for many couples and wasn't an option for us. This was the only vendor we worked with that wouldn't refund the money. We even gave them time to refund us and a year later still wouldn't budge. I understand how in general the wedding industry won't return deposits because they lost a day where they could have had another wedding, but this was clearly not the case. I would have tried legal action but the deposit amount wasn't worth it (and I'm sure the company knew this too). They took one of the most difficult situations of our lives and made it worse. Please avoid this company.

Connie incorporated all of the religious elements I wanted in my ceremony, while still making sure the feel was spiritual -- that is, it never ever felt like I was sitting in Sunday School being lectured by a pastor. All in all, Connie and All in One Weddings was an enormously important part of our wedding day, and I wouldn't hesitate even a second to recommend them to any bride-to-be who's searching around for an officiant in Maine. Thank you, Connie... it was truly our pleasure.

I was surprised that Robin didn't realize this before she left. The bride and the wedding planner moved some things around and it worked perfectly.

My friend loves the supper rolls, so we started there and I got a cup of clam chowder. The portions were big and the chowder was a great flavor and consistency - not too thick or too runny. The drinks we ordered were also really good. I made the mistake of getting a regular espresso martini and my friend got the special one with the horchata. I tasted hers and immediately hated myself because it was so good! I had a really well made rye manhattan afterwards - that guy can mix a great drink! And, the cocktail glasses were so classy! 1 star was removed because I ordered the mussels as my entrée and they came out when I was barely halfway into my soup. That is a big pet peeve of mine as I like to finish my appetizer, sit for a few minutes, and then go to the main course. I don't love it when the main is sitting there getting cold as I'm trying to finish my first course. For that reason, I sent them back. They looked great, so I would really like to go back at some point and try them. The restaurant was really good overall, so I definitely want to come back.
