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.

I couldn't possibly put into words how amazing Karen was to work with! Karen and Blackstone Caterers were amazing from start to finish. Our tasting was above and beyond, for example, my gluten free nut free mother in law came just to be a part of it but Karen went above and beyond to make sure she enjoyed the tasting just as much as everyone else. The food was amazing at the tasting and amazing at the wedding, which doesn't always happen. I didn't hear a guest who didn't enjoy their meal and my mother happened to noticed several clean plates which is also not very common in my experience. But above all that, Karen helped me through majority of the planning process and I couldn't have done it without her help. It was so nice to work with someone who offered insight, suggestions, and ideas on things that may not have been in the area of which I was paying her for. She answered all of my questions, was extremely organized which was relieving many times on my end, and was always so pleasant to talk to and work with. Sure, may be slightly more expensive if you're comparing to other catering options but one thousand percent worth it.

I feel very lucky that we found Danielle at Blackstone Caterers for our wedding and reception. Danielle was truly the consummate professional - she handled everything so calmly and smoothly. And she helped us with so much more than just the catering -- we were a bit overwhelmed as we were having the wedding at our home, and she helped by referring us to a number of vendors, coordinating with them, and answering tons of questions that we had. She was also there on the day of to make sure that everything went smoothly. She is a warm and lovely person, who clearly loves what she does, and it shows. And the food itself was delicious! In addition, the staff was terrific and we got lots of compliments on both the food and service. And they did a great job of clean-up, so that there was nothing for me to do after they left. It was a great experience from start to finish, and I can't recommend Danielle and Blackstone highly enough!
