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.

Wedding - 5/14/23
I had my wedding at Shepherds Run last weekend with Blackstone Caterers. Shepherd’s Run and Blackstone Caterers are the dream partnership. Upon my first meeting with Jackie, she sold me on the venue and the caterers. The food is delicious and there are so many options to choose from to customize your event. The entire process with Jackie and Rowan was incredibly smooth. I was able to enjoy the wedding day and the months leading up to the event because of these two. They coordinated everything for day off and guided me through the flow of the day. They even reached out to outside vendors to make sure deliveries were made on time. I can’t thank them enough!!! Not only are they pros but they are so kind and make the process such a treat. I can say without a doubt that I made the right choice in choosing shepherds run and blackstone caterers for my wedding.
