He was very responsive, always emailing back within 24 hours or less. On the day of the event, the crew was fantastic. Very pleasant and easy to get along with, and extremely helpful. We ordered the basic buffet service and they went above and beyond, offering to bus tables in the back of the house where we had separate beverages and appetizers, and even making a 40 min round trip to get a new tap when our keg wouldn't work. The food was absolutely delicious! We had the lobster bake and land lover's grill. Everyone who attended loved it and many went back for seconds. I don't plan on getting married twice but if I do Coastal Critters is catering again! ;)

They don't stick to a typical caterer menu (fish, steak, chicken all with the same veggies) - they take creative risks and make amazing, tasty food.

They give out complimentary blankets to go sit in the lovely park across the street while eating, which was a nice addition. It is just a stand, so make sure you're okay with eating in the park or on a bench nearby, but they make the best of it!! Love Frenchman's!

I was very pleased with how the owner of the company interacted with me when we were discussing the event and what I had in mind. My suggestions and wishes were respected and I was also offered suggestions that I had not thought of myself. I was very pleased. The quality of the food, albeit small cocktail items, was wonderful. I would strongly recommend Frenchman Bay Caterers as the Caterer of your next function, whatever that function may be.

My husband and I are born/bred Mainers, looking forward to celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary at the Inn. We read the policy and booked two evenings. However, on our way up, our car broke down and we had to head home, trauma in itself. I called right away to cancel and explain the circumstances to the owners and hoped to receive some other future booking there, rather than loose our cash. The unfortunate answer was no. They refused to make any refund or bend their policy in any way. My husband wrote a kindly email explaining our situation, once again, but never received a reply. We understand the need for policies and support that, but flexibility for certain unavoidable circumstances should, we believe, also be considered. Their lack of any empathy to our situation and uncouth, unpolished manners reflects very poor customer service and cancels any future wish to ever stay at the Blue Hill Inn. These innkeepers are clearly from away and do not, in any way, mirror REAL Maine hospitality! So, if you book there, you'll loose your money, if you have to suddenly cancel, even for an unexpected accident or God forbid a death!!

Les greeted us and took the time to show us to our room on the third floor telling us all about the history of the property on the way. Someone complained in another review that there are stairs up to the third floor. It is true. They are wooden, steep, and full of character. The floors are original and slope and creak as expected, but are beautifully painted and well kept. Our room was beautiful and the bathroom was perfect, looking like it was remodeled yesterday. Since we realized there was not going to be a lot of dining choices, we stopped at a grocery on our way in for a light picnic dinner of cheese, crackers, fruit and a bottle of wine to enjoy by the water. It was a perfect evening to watch the sunset on one of the two waterfront areas on the property. It was only my husband and me. We could see another couple sitting on the rocks, but it still felt so private and it truly felt like something out of a romantic movie. The next morning we enjoyed the best blueberry muffins provided by the host and coffee on the front porch of the inn. As we sat looking down toward the water both a deer and a red fox came through the yard as a humming flew around the beautiful flowers. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. I almost want to keep this gem a secret!

I was thrilled when she was available to be my photographer! I am in Mass and we were getting married in Maine and she made everything so easy. She had so many helpful documents and all the online payments were so convenient. She answered all my questions and always made me feel important. We opted out of the engagement shoot and in hind sight, I wish we did it to have even more awesome pics. On my wedding day Kate was so calm and pleasant to be around. Her and her second shooter, who is her mom (so cute!), were like photo ninjas and other than the formal picture times I barely noticed them. Yet, they captured everything! The pics were fun and candid. She also has an amazing way of capturing colors. My pictures represent my wedding day perfectly. The blog with sneak peaks were up in less than 2 weeks and the flash drive was at my house in about 3 weeks. So fast and efficient. The packaging the flash drive came in was so cute too!

On the big day she did a great job of capturing all those important details. It's amazing because you don't even realize she is right there shooting you in the most emotional moments until you see your pictures. From the very beginning I was so impressed with her fast responses to e-mail and phone calls. But I was in shock to find that she had edited all our photos with the first 10 days of our wedding... it was magical being able to flip through them all while we were on our honeymoon. She was very helpful with giving vendor suggestions etc. She was an absolute pleasure to work with! My friends loved my pictures so much that they have hired her for their Boston wedding. Hoping to be able to hire her again in the future. Highly recommend Kate to others!! You will not be disappointed.
