Best Wedding Caterer in Rhode Island!

You can't do better than Blackstone for your wedding!
Blackstone Caterers, and Danielle Costa impressed us from the very beginning. I knew of Blackstone because many weddings our family has been to, used Blackstone. But, of course there are other caterers that are well known - the two premiere caterers in Rhode Island for weddings appear to be Russel Morin and Blackstone. We got quotes from Russell Morin, Blackstone, and Emerys Catering. Let me explain why we went with Blackstone, and why I am so glad I did:

First Meeting: At the Newport Bridal Show in Winter 2020, many wedding vendors had booths. But Blackstone just nailed their "booth". They had this beautiful set up, no detail forgotten, with champagne glasses and very friendly, professional and informative employees. I was impressed.

Contract & Communication: Of all quotes I received, the value of Blackstone was the best. The food selections were the best. They even did a champagne toast and cake cutting! And they were always prompt in communication, which is very important to me.

Tasting: Staff was professional, food was phenomenal, presentation was top notch. And they of course offered us as much wine as we desired! It was a wonderful experience! And they use PEAK event services for linens, etc - and made the selection process so easy!

Wedding: Again... nailed it! We got married at The Towers in Narragansett, and didn't have a wedding planner. I wasn't sure if I needed to worry about one, but it was fine! Blackstone took care of everything. We dropped off our table signs & name cards in the venue, and they set everything up! They cooked onsight, and executed everything flawlessy. They probably could have done it with their eyes closed, they are that good. A member of the Waitstaff introduced themselves to us and kept checking on us to if we needed a drink. When we went outside to take photos, they came outside to bring us water! And Danielle showed up to make sure everything was ok. We just so impressed with their professionalism and hospitality. And guests have told us it was the best food they had a wedding ever.

Thank you Blackstone team for everything.

Blackstone is the only way to go!

Blackstone absolutely knocked it out of the park! Gina was the kindest and most helpful person to work with. We loved her!! Everything from our very first quote, all the way to the team’s execution day of the wedding, they are amazing! The food was so delicious, the presentation was beautiful. The entire staff at the wedding was so polite, professional, and accommodating. Thank you to their entire team for making our day so special!

Outstanding Food, Even Better Service

My wedding was for about 100 people in Newport, RI.

Blackstone Caterers came highly recommended, and after our first tasting, I could see the rave reviews were onto something. Planning the menu with Danielle was easy. Dietary restrictions, cultural preferences, and cost considerations were easily discussed and solutions were always around the corner. The professionalism and flexibility of the team we worked with were the cherry on top of the dishes we sampled, which were all well-portioned, well-seasoned, and well-presented. When we offered feedback at the tasting, it was gracefully accepted and incorporated into the final menu present at our wedding. The food at the cocktail hour and reception dinner was as outstanding as we had encountered at the tasting (my guests informed me that they've never had a better steak at a wedding than the one we served), but what made Blackstone truly shine was their service. Dozens of my guests made a comment about how the service at our cocktail hour and reception was simply stunning. Everyone we interacted with was attentive and warm, from the bartenders to the two individuals assigned to us (bride and groom). I wish I could remember their names because they were so kind and made sure my wife and I wanted for nothing. Their assistance with our signature cocktails was also much appreciated. To think that all of this was pretty affordable for a wedding is simply mind blowing.

Food is one of the most critical elements of a good wedding. If you want to get your dishes spot on, with service your guests will never forget, bet on Blackstone.
