A winter wedding is hard to plan, celebrating Maine's finest. Laura's catering is a one stop shop. Our party was small, comparatively, 48 guests. A perfect menu, perfect venue, perfect bar service. The table settings were gorgeous. Communication was great. All of her staff were lovely, easy to work with and FUN! From the raw bar to the wedding cake, everything was exactly what we wanted and more. We got wonderful feedback from the guests on the whole event, especially her emphasis on procuring locally sourced food, and how beautiful the venue was with her table settings and arrangement of the space. Her vision, execution and experience brought our celebration to life. Maine and Laura shone!

They handled a few challenges that came up with ease, and they created a product that very much was as I envisioned, including where people were seated and the detailed arrangement of other decorations. We only met with these two wonderful ladies once, but it was evident that they knew their stuff, and we had our trust repaid with a wonderful result. Did I mention that they were also, by far, the most reasonably priced quote we got for wedding decorations? Now if only I had them to help deal with some of our other, less amazing vendors... but that's another story.

I was so impressed with Joanne's work for our Jefferson, Maine wedding on 9/4/16. Joanne was so…read morehelpful and available throughout the process. Considering we were planning our wedding in Maine at a handsome distance, I thought our partnership went particularly smoothly. Early on I shared Pinterest photos with Joanne and she was able to look over those and make her own suggestions based on what she had available in her own garden and what was easy to procure from wholesalers. When I finally got the chance to visit Joanne's design studio in person, I was astounded by her beautiful garden (from which she cut flowers for our wedding!) and discovered that she had a gorgeous twig-style arbor available to rent. We had a ceremony site that was not very official looking, so it was the perfect addition! Joanne designed a gorgeous piece of greens and flowers to attach to the arbor as well. Our bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, centerpiece flowers were all impeccably selected and arranged. Everything she created exceeded my hopes and expectations. On the weekend of the wedding, Joanne was punctual and communicative! She delivered the arbor the day prior to the wedding and made a second delivery on the day of the wedding. We really could not have been happier with her beautiful design work. If there was one wish, we wished that either credit cards or PayPal transfers could have been an option for payment. Most of our vendors in this part of Maine only accepted checks and we really got tired of floating checks all the time. This is a minor quibble though, and does not impact the gorgeous work she produced!

As a bride you want your wedding day to be absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, the unprofessional,…read moreinexcusable, and selfish actions of Joanne at Gilmartin Design corrupted our special day. We chose her to be our florist for our wedding day because her website portrayed beautiful flower arrangements, and what seemed to be a professional business. Our experience was far from that, though. Throughout the planning process it was very difficult to meet with her, and once we did, she didn't have a portfolio, or actual flowers for us to look at to understand her vision. Between that meeting and our wedding day we were looking to reduce the cost of the flowers (we were being charged over $3k!), however she would not work with us or budge a single cent. She even accused us of overspending somewhere else in the budget, which was far from the truth. Who says that to a customer?! On October 4th, 2014 Joanne was nowhere to be found 2 hours, 1 hour, and then even 30 minutes before the ceremony was to begin. After many attempts to reach her by cell phone, we were expecting no corsages or boutonnieres for grandparents, parents, groomsmen, or my groom. I had bridesmaids building makeshift bouquets to walk down the aisle with, and we had no centerpieces on our tables at the reception. To say I was devastated is an understatement. Finally, the arrangements arrived 15 minutes before I was to walk down the aisle - corsages and boutonnieres were applied after everyone had already been seated - embarrassing, and we were married outside on a beautiful, misty, fall day at Sugarloaf. To this day Joanne has yet to apologize or tell the truth for her extreme lateness - she promised us she would arrive by noon. She never even delivered the ceremony flowers, it turns out she left them at another location on the mountain without telling anyone. So now here I am a few months later still waiting for an explanation, an apology, and a refund. Do NOT use Gilmartin Design for your wedding day, unless you want excuses, stress, tears, and to be made to feel like it's your fault for someone else's mistakes. This company is unprofessional, and does not put the customer first. No bride should have to worry, or deal with this on her wedding day.

Red Claw provided absolutely no utensils for opening the lobsters - no seafood crackers, no crab mallets, no seafood scissors, and no crab knives. They expected us to open up the lobsters with a wooden knife and fork... Red Claw served so-called steaks and soggy corn, yet there were no salt-and-pepper shakers or any other condiments made available. The food was so inedible that guests left the reception early so they could get something to eat at nearby restaurants. Red Claw should change their name to Amateur Hour Lobster Bakes.
