Blackstone Caterers

le arrangement, multiple additions and special requests for the open bar - Blackstone accommodated perfectly. On wedding day, there was plenty of staff for setup and support, and Karen and Dada were available and ready to handle all of our requests and questions. The staff was attentive and professional throughout the evening. Overall, Blackstone is the way to go if you want excellent food, great service, and professionalism.

ied two weeks ago and our family and friends are still raving about the food, drinks and presentation of the food. From the tasting to the day of the wedding, Blackstone did such an amazing job!

t the wedding planning process Shannon was on top of EVERYTHING - from choosing a tent and linens to choosing the menu to customizing our open bar, she led us through a stress free process and truly had our best interest in mind. She was there on our wedding day making sure that everything was set up correctly and that we had everything we needed. I wish I could go back in time just so I could work with Shannon again. Hire them, they are the best in the business!

specially talented and amazing to work with - she understood my vision right from the beginning, and executed it perfectly! All of the selections at our tasting were so delicious, it was hard to choose one dish over another. The wedding day food met all of our expectations and more, and we received so many compliments on the delicious food, drinks - and especially the raw bar! Blackstone are true professionals, who know how to throw an amazing wedding. They go above and beyond to make everything come together - from the linens and table settings, to the extra decor items, to delicious, creative food and fantastic service and collaboration, I truly cannot recommend them enough for your special day! Thank you for everything - and for making our wedding what it was!!!

china and other vendors. She was extremely responsive to my emails and phone calls and made my wedding planning so easy! Since my wedding was a destination Shannon allowed my fiancé and I to order items and mail them to her. She was just above and beyond!! The most amazing part was that Blackstone had duplications of all the food selections in GF version since I’m allergic to gluten and surprised me with this at my wedding! I can’t recommend Blackstone enough and I want to plan another event just to work with them again! Thank you Blackstone and Shannon for making my wedding day so perfect!

emely helpful and was able to really help my vision come to life. It is really helpful that Blackstone acts as the liaison between you and the rental company to pick out linens and table settings etc. It made my life so much easier to have everyone on the same page and connected. On our wedding day the food and signature drinks were unbelievable. We have had so many of our guests tell us that we had the best food they have ever had at a wedding! My husband and I were really impressed with how thoughtful the staff was. We had a ton of food from cocktail hour waiting for us in our bridal suite after we took our pictures and then all night long the attendant was always getting us anything we needed without us even asking! Blackstone goes above and beyond to make sure your wedding day is perfect in every way! Blackstone is the best of the best!

cellent! Food is so important to us and we were so excited to have our guests enjoy all of the things we got to enjoy during our tasting. We also even got our own plate of hors d’oeuvres on the table to ensure we got to try everything. They are the best!!

d provided valuable advice throughout the entire wedding planning process. Others have said this, but it's true so I'll say it too - the quality of food at the tasting holds through when served to large quantities of people. Blackstone was also very willing to try new things - they recreated a recipe of my grandmother's to serve as appetizers and really nailed it. They also did a great job with our signature cocktails. I'm still dreaming about the raw bar! Thank you, Karen and the entire Blackstone team!

tastes. She was so flexible, informative, and helpful that planning our menu was actually one of the easiest tasks I had while wedding planning. She even acted as the liaison for our rentals (linens, plates, and furniture), which made it so much easier having just have 1 person to take care of everything. She had wonderful suggestions for ways to make our wedding special - suggestions about how to setup our dessert table, flower garnishes for passed cocktails, timing and order of how the food was served, a champagne tower, and she even agreed to dye the cream in our cannolis pink to match our theme! The day of our wedding she was right there making sure everything was executed seamlessly. The waitstaff was phenomenal - glasses were never empty, service was fast and seamless, they were able to articulate every ingredient to our guests with food restrictions, and were so polite and friendly. Literally every single guest told us how amazing the food was. Danielle and Blackstone made everything absolutely perfect for us!!

o much time and hassle! The food was absolutely incredible and had our guests raving and the service was second to none. Not only were my husband and I well cared for with a personal server all night who ensured we were able to actually eat the food we selected but the other wait staff were attentive to all our guest's needs. The night ran so smoothly and exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend them!

me to discuss linens and napkins as well as helped to display decor and favors. She worked with me to help accommodate some guests who had allergies and even when a few guests could not make it last minute. She was always assured, easy-going and helped to keep me calm. The team was fabulous the night of our wedding from service, to professionalism to quality and value. The food was OUTSTANDING. Everyone of our guests raved about how delicious the food was from the appetizers to the entrees being cooked perfectly and warm! My husband and I never had to ask for anything and all of our guests felt the service was 5 star. If you are looking for amazing food, amazing service and amazing value, look no further, Blackstone is the obvious choice. Thank you Danielle and team, you helped to make our evening the most magical yet!

emely professional and helpful throughout all of our prep calls, tasting, and final planning. I truly cannot say enough great things about working with her. She and the team were instrumental in helping us bring our vision to life. All of our guests raved about the food - especially the appetizers and cocktails! I would highly recommend using Blackstone for your next event - they are worth every penny!

Blackstone. It was a joy to work with Karen. From day one, she was extremely communicative and enthusiastic about helping us plan. We did a tasting in June and were blown away by the selections. The flavors were complex and the presentations were beautiful. Because Blackstone has a history of working at Blithewold, Karen was able to guide us in planning the entire event. On the wedding day, Karen and her staff were wonderful. They were extremely attentive to our needs and to our guests’ needs. We had a family-style meal service and they were able to accommodate everyone’s food allergies. They also arranged plates full of homemade cookies, which is one of our family traditions. Our guests have been raving about the food and the entire event ever since, and we owe much of this to Karen and her team. We highly recommend Blackstone!!

beyond to ensure our day was perfect (she's part of the catering team and was setting up ceremony chairs the day of the wedding!). The Blackstone team was friendly and efficient, and several people have told us the food at our event was the "best food I've ever had at a wedding." The Blackstone crew pampered us, following us with champagne and snacks as we did our final photos post-ceremony and checking in throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed and wanted. Food is important to us (and to a good event!), and we could not be happier with our choice to hire Blackstone. We're so grateful for their wonderful service.

rinks! Thank you for making our special day even better!!

she was amazing- from emails to our tasting we were so lucky to be working with her! Our wedding day went flawlessly- there was always someone asking if we needed anything and even a server right there to give our bridal party food immediately after the ceremony. Nikki was our bridal attendant and is one of the sweetest people ever. Every person we interacted with was incredible. And the food? Amazing! We heard nothing but compliments on everything from the main course to the desserts. We did stations but Nikki made sure we got something to eat and they kept setting some of everything on our table so we would get a chance to try everything. It was all delicious and our friends and family are still raving about the food. I would recommend them without a single hesitation. Definitely request Shannon- she will make your event incredible!

f my requests and emails! And of course the best part was the food - the guests raved at how delicious everything came out. We even used them for desserts and they provided such an impressive variety that nothing went to waste! I would highly recommend Blackstone and would love to use them in the future.

I had some difficult guests, so major kudos to the waitstaff for dealing with last minute changes.

-creating cocktails we came up with to modifying menu items based on things we like from home in San Francisco). They've truly cared to understand what's important to us and have gone above and beyond to deliver. We are so glad they're our caterers.

a great decision!!

un touches (like our raw bar, lobster tails for the dads and a mocktail) and all of our guests commented that the food was the best Wedding fare they ever had. The entire Blackstone team puts more than just time, and energy into what they do - they also put a lot of love into everything they serve. They are a dream to work with and make you feel assured that you are in good hands at all times. Our dedicated server was lovely on our special day (though we barely had time to eat ourselves - only regret), and no detail went unnoticed. The moment I saw Shannon at Rosecliff I breathed a sigh of relief just knowing she was there. The menu was spectacular and again, cannot say enough good things about Shannon and Blackstone. Thank you, Shannon! Love, Sarah and Perry

ed at the tasting, but LOVED the entrees so were excited about those. But when it came to the actual wedding date and executing entrees for 100 people, they fell flat. Both entrees were over cooked and severely lacking in flavor. Pretty bummed that what we tasted at the trial was not at all what our guests were able to enjoy.

). As the wedding got closer, she made sure every small detail was worked out. On the day of, everything went so smoothly and every detail was taken care of. Thanks to their attentive service, Josh and I were stuffed by the end of the night! The wait staff brought us appetizers throughout pictures and cocktails and even gave us a personal plate during the toasts! Everyone loved the food and the event ran so smoothly. We highly recommend Blackstone!

. Additionally, the food was fantastic -- I was very slightly concerned about the scallop main course after the tasting because they were a bit rubbery, but on our wedding day they came out PERFECT. The passed hors d'oeuvres were also amazing, especially the bacon wrapped scallops and the fried oysters. I could seriously eat those two dishes every day for the rest of my life and die happy. The location we chose (Rosecliff) has some unique challenges for the catering staff, but Blackstone is accustomed to working there because it's one of the three approved vendors for that location. We weren't completely aware of just how strict Rosecliff is with the caterers until after the wedding, which did cause a bit of confusion during setup and teardown with our bridal party. If there was one complaint it is we wish the coordinators from Blackstone had done a better job explaining to our bridal party that the staff was solely responsible for clean-up. In the rush to get out of the venue (Rosecliff requires everyone out in like an hour), some of the guests interpreted the situation as they (the bridal party) were responsible for packing up center pieces, decorations, etc. and moving them to cars. This shouldn't have been the case. As is the case for most problems, better communication between the venue coordinator, the on-site caterer coordinator, and the guests/bridal party who thought they needed to step in and assist would have been helpful. It's tough to over-communicate, and this is one of those instances where a little more would have gone a long way. We don't want any of that to detract from the professionalism Blackstone showed in the execution of the wedding. Other than the confusion with set-up and tear-down, literally every other aspect of working with Karen and Blackstone was fantastic.

The food was sensational. We have guests still reaching out to us months later saying how phenomenal the food was. I was initially worried about the food remaining hot because it was coming to venue, and this deemed not be a worry. All appetizers, main courses, late night bites arrived hot. Blackstone Caterers made our day stress free, worry free, and made the whole day just seamless!

ots of compliments from our guests about the food. We would highly recommend Blackstone.

utting together a perfect day for us. All of our needs were met and we did not have a single worry the entire day. Everyone warned me that I would not have time to eat on my wedding day, but that was NO problem for me due to the excellent service and amazing food, I was stuffed! We would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat- best caterers in the area!

work with, her infectious smile and lovable laugh, she worked with us constantly throughout, answering our thoughts, questions, and concerns promptly. Scheduled, constructive meetings followed by our tasting, we were able to work with Karen to the very last minute on our wedding. An accompaniment of linens and china, plenty of culinary options to choose to tailor to the season, in our case between Summer and Autumn, familiar and able to work with our other vendors, there was not one discouraging comment from our friends and family, in fact, they can’t stop talking about it. The setup and décor simply beautiful, the food presentation (cocktail hour, passed hors d’oeuvres, and plated dinner) spectacular, the staff meticulous, tailored, and definitely on foot and knee for our guests, hands down, we highly recommend Blackstone Caterers.

the months leading up to that big day. She was so responsive and answered my one million questions in a timely manner always. All the guests RAVED about the food (and some still are)...we're pretty sure it's the best food any of us have ever had at a wedding!

uests still talk about how great the food was and we can’t agree more. My wife and I are real foodies and Blackstone nailed it on every single thing they cooked for our wedding. With Karen’s help, we never felt like we were planning our menu from a distance, even if we were in a different country. We would recommend Blackstone to anyone looking for perfect food, perfect service and worry-free day of the wedding. Thanks again, Stéphanie and Arnau

asure of working with Danielle and she handled our many questions and emails with professionalism as well as kindness every time. One of my top compliments has to do with Danielle’s patience and concern when creating a completely gluten-free experience. Everything from our tasting right into our wedding, the passed hors d'oeuvres, meal, and desserts were celiac friendly. This was vital since I (the bride) am highly allergic and was SO nervous of being exposed to gluten/wheat on my wedding day (it would not have been good!) I also had three guests with allergies and Danielle was awesome about wanting to know what table they were at, their meal, allergy etc. (which seems minor but I have gone to a wedding who was informed of my allergy, but at the reception itself they must have not taken note which table I would be at so when serving plates they brought me a normal meal, when I explained they brought me a diff. meal & told me it was GF, as I went to take a bite they grabbed it telling me it wasn’t GF & then finally got me a safe dish :|). When we arrived for cocktail hour, I was so happy to Danielle helping out, grabbing Matt and I drinks & making sure everything was running smoothly. We still had a few photos to take, however we had two amazing servers dedicated to my husband and I making sure we had drinks and all the hors d'oeuvres we wanted. I also loved that when we sat down, there in front of us was an entire tray of hors d'oeuvres at our seats just in case we still wanted more! (Whoever says you don’t eat on your wedding day clearly didn’t have the amazing caterer we did!) Working with Blackstone, not only did we get an extraordinary caterer, but we also had a day-of coordinator and someone to help me with anything I needed. Blackstone also is so helpful putting together the wedding day offering to order additional décor, to coordinating candles and lighting etc. if you need it. Blackstone truly helped us bring our wedding day together & I couldn’t have been happier with our choice.

without a hitch. We did catch some errors with the food selections on the paperwork before the event, but everything was able to be cleared up pretty easily and quickly. We did have a wedding party attendant that brought us drinks and food during photos. It was a very nice touch, and we would highly recommend them.

she would be a part of it. Karen and her team are beyond professional, and they made the entire planning process so much fun. Karen was so patient with me when I was making all of our meal choices and helped me to come up with a menu that would suit guest food allergies and dietary restrictions, while still making sure that my husband and I loved the selections we chose. The food - I should mention - is INCREDIBLE. The shrimp at the raw bar were the best I've ever had, and as the bride, I actually got to eat the food because Karen's team was so attentive. Karen helped us pick a great signature cocktail that so many guests have tried to replicate, and her team was just an all around joy to work with. I cannot recommend Blackstone more highly!

y, I can have an anniversary or birthday party again just as an excuse to hire Blackstone to cater it!

o a tasting before booking with any caterer, because we did not want typical wedding food. They worked with us on the cocktail hour food and on the main entrees, to customize everything to what we wanted. As the planning process went on, they helped us work on every little detail. As I didn't have a wedding planner, I really appreciated all the little tips Blackstone gave us. The same can be said for the wedding day: they literally thought of every single little detail to ensure that everyone has a fantastic experience. All our guests were saying that they were blown away my how incredible the food was. And the service was just as fantastic. They especially paid attention to myself and the groom. There was always a glass of champagne in my hand, they put aside food from the cocktail hour for us; sent up drinks before the ceremony, etc. They also helped us set up the cigar and scotch bar; and served our guests with our special wine pairing request. They even provided special desert wine glasses, that the rental company did not have available. As our wedding was on the smaller side (approx. 55 people) - we were concerned that some vendors may not want to spend the time to customize everything. But Blackstone made us feel like our event was the most important one of the year. They cooked traditional ethnic dishes for us that are not typically on their menu to allow us to make our day truly unique. Of course their usual stations were fresh and delicious as well. We had the tuscan table and the raw bar, as well as the cheesecake station. I also wanted to note that Karen went beyond her job as a catering coordinator. We had troubles with our rental company, and she took it upon herself to deal with them, to ensure that I didn't have to stress about anything. She and her team was truly incredible and we can never thank them enough for everything they did for us. All in all, I would absolutely recommend Blackstone for any special event. Both the food and the service will exceed your wildest expectations.

the reception. We had lanterns, candles, greenery, and table numbers, as well as seating cards. I was a little worried- would it all be set up correctly? It looked like perfection when we got them, the team at Blackstone are truly professionals. After the ceremony, my wedding party was taking photos and they bought us all over apps and cocktails (since we were missing cocktail hour). When my husband and I sat for dinner there was a plate of every appetizer from cocktail hour there as well (we missed the whole hour for photos), which was a nice surprise. They gave us a point person who was there helping everything run smoothly- though we honestly didn't need to find them once because the whole thing went off without a hitch. All our guests complimented the food as well.. Tip- get the lobster mash potatoes!

we needed. For 18 months she went above and beyond to make our dream wedding happen. It's the little things like surprising us with lavender for our signature cocktails or answering my silly questions and calming my nerves even on her days off, or getting us a special type of beer for the wedding. I honestly could go and on and about how amazing she is and our wedding wouldn't have been the same without her help. The wedding ran so smoothly because of her and her staff, everyone complimented that! Dada was our event manager - We didn't work with her until that night but she was amazing as well!! Bartenders were awesome, servers were awesome. I could go on and on. Now on to the food - ah the food. Not one person had a complaint about the food - I'm Italian and my husband is Portuguese, very hard to please but WOW, everyone was blown away by the food. The raw bar was so fresh, the passed apps were plentiful and delicious! (Highly recommend the lamb chops and mini lobster rolls!) The main entrée was so delicious as well. We did family style and there was plenty of food and everything was so good. For dessert we did the Ben & Jerry's bar, Karen assured me this would be a hit and she nailed it, everyone raved about it. Hands down, Blackstone was the best decision we made for our wedding. Worth every penny.

iche cups- so yummy). I worked with Danielle Costa mainly who was fantastic and helped our entire experience of planning run smoothly. The day of event person seemed a bit confused and didn't seem to understand the plan. I would have preferred if we could have had Danielle there but she had another event I believe that day. All i all, the catering went smoothly. We also had a personal attendant who made sure myself and groom ate a taste of everything, including our meals! I highly recommend having a wedding attendant. I would also highly recommend Blackstone Caterers if you want a truly memorable culinary experience on your special day.

help us. We felt like Karen was in our corner, and was working exclusively on our wedding, and our wedding alone. It should also be noted that their patience and professionalism was exercised when creating a completely gluten-free experience. Everything from the raw bar and passed hors d'oeuvre, down to the cake and French macaroons were celiac friendly. This was paramount as the Bride was allergic (and also extremely paranoid of being glutenized on her wedding day ☺) With Blackstone, not only did we get an amazing caterer, but we also had a day-of coordinator for the event, and another person to help the bride with anything she needed, but we also got a team of event planners that helped us with everything from handling the tent for the reception (we had an outdoor wedding), to ordering additional, outdoor bathrooms, to coordinating torches and lighting, to handling seating for the ceremony. Basically, if no other vendors showed up, we would still have had a beautiful, smoothly run wedding day. And did we mention the food? Because every single one of our guests did! The food was quite simply, amazing. If we could do it again, we would go with Blackstone every single time.

ails. The entire event was executed flawlessly and got rave reviews from all our guests. We looked at several caterers for our wedding and could not be more happy with Blackstone!

knew that we were in the best hands and that I could trust her and her team to pull off our vision - and they did! I really can't say enough about Shannon's patience and responsiveness. Even if she wasn't in the office or available to answer my question, she would respond right away to let me know that she would follow up ASAP. This type of service is so important during wedding planning when there are so many moving parts and so many details to navigate. I had so many last minute requests and changes and Shannon was always accommodating. My mom was worried about the set-up of some of our DIY projects and items we brought from home but Shannon set them all up perfectly - we were all so impressed! She also organized all of our rentals and deliveries which was a great added bonus and one less stress that I had to manage. The food was phenomenal - Shannon worked with me on the menu to make sure it was exactly what we wanted and offered suggestions to make our menu perfection. We added in a raw bar and our guests raved about the presentation and deliciousness - it was the highlight of our wedding for a lot of our guests! I really can't say enough about the deliciousness! Our guests also commented on how classy and responsive the caterers were the day of the wedding - the service was top notch! I highly recommend Blackstone to all brides looking for an organized, delicious, professional caterer. I could go on and on about how happy I am with Blackstone caterers and Shannon - I could not have pulled off my wedding without Shannon and her Blackstone team. Everything was beyond perfection and I am so happy that I got the chance to work with them!

g. Both things (late night snack and passed dels lemonaid) were very minor and the fact that they didn't happen didnt impact how happy the guests were with the meal. It was just a little disappointing.

But she really does so much more than that! She helped with great advice about planning the whole event, which was being held at my home, referred us to lots of other great vendors, coordinated with them on lots of details, and was there on the special day to make sure everything ran smoothly! On top of everything else, she was calm and smiling throughout, and really made a huge difference to a nervous bride to be. She truly loves what she does, and it shows. She is great with attention to details, and takes care of all the little things so I could worry less and enjoy more. And, the food was delicious! I feel like I've been to a ton of fancy weddings and events, where the food was just so-so. Blackstone's food hit it out of the park. They provide tons of choices, and the results were amazing. We got lots of compliments on the food and the professionalism of the staff. And by the way, they also did an amazing clean up job, so that there was nothing at all of me to do. I feel like I hit the jackpot with Danielle, and Blackstone, and will certainly be using them for any other big occasion!

hone and email to discuss details and rentals. The food at the wedding was fabulous. Everything went off without a hitch and people were raving about the food for weeks afterward. The food even looked as good as it tasted! We would definitely recommend Blackstone for any event!

finitely made the whole wedding process less stressful. Thank you so much for everything!!! Highly recommend!!!!!

as more than just the catering liaison, she helped our other vendors ensure that the schedule for the reception flowed and brought along a team to our reception that was fantastic to work with. Of all the caterers we reached out to, I knew instantly from Shannon's first email that they were a cut above the rest and I was not wrong. Even a family member that works for a comparable local catering company was impressed with the service and quality at our reception!

service cannot be beat! The team at Blackstone was so helpful at our wedding - guests commented on the high quality of the service from the bar to the table service. No hidden fees with Blackstone either! You will regret it if you don't book Blackstone, in particular Shannon.

and the bar and they even offered to stay through dinner and clean up after the food trucks and keep things running smoothly. Shannon was amazing, as was everyone onsite the day of the wedding. And the food was amazing, of course.

ly helpful in assisting with planning and details, and she was able to recommend some of our other amazing vendors. We were on a budget, but we were able to work with Blackstone to find a plan that was right for us and our guests.

ded a sense of assurance and comfort to the process. Our guests are still talking about the food! Thank you Blackstone!

oughout the night. My family has a few food allergies and they ensured me that they would be able to handle whatever the allergies would be, and they delivered. We received several compliments from our guests on how much they loved the food!

menu was lovely, and helped us choose a delicious selection of food that our guests loved. Choosing Blackstone as our caterer was one of the best decisions we made - book them, you will not regret it!

ese people are amazing and I can't say enough about how wonderful Karen is. If you want a stress free, perfectly organized wedding with delicious food and drinks, book Blackstone Caterers!

uld send an email and get a response very quickly- something that is quite important to a stressed bride-to-be! They made my life easier and pleasant every step of the way. They also collaborated well with our other vendors, such as the florist and my wedding coordinator, which really helped take some of the workload off of me. The tasting was so much fun- food was delicious, and the experience was great. The guests loved the food and we are very thankful we went with Blackstone. Thanks again Karen! Megan

better!

emely busy. The food was absolutely phenomenal. The crab cake appetizers are fabulous. They did a great job of making sure the wedding party also got food and drink while taking pictures during the cocktail hour. They even brought us appetizers during dinner to make sure we tasted them! Thier presentation of the food is wonderful as well as the taste. The staff was extremely attentive to the guests as well. I highly recommend them!!!

he drinks flowing. And their food... MY GOD! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! My husband is a complete foodie, and we literally went to 10 places to ensure we had THE BEST for our day. This was the #1 thing we wanted perfect for the wedding. Well, they blew everyone elses food out of the water! Last but certainly not least is Karen. She had to be one of the most amazing people I have ever interacted with. She goes above and beyond and she loves her clients and her job. The women is absolutely GLOWING with excitement for you, and trust me... It's addicting! She ensured we had EVERYTHING we wanted, and even helped me outside of her hired duties, because THAT is commitment. If you don't choose Blithewold, you are seriously missing out! LOVE YOU KAREN! XOXO

and my husband is from Georgia. It was important to us to reflect both sides on our menu. Thanks to Blackstone, our guests loved our items like fried green tomato caprese salad (appetizer) and bacon/cheddar grits in a shot glass (cocktail hour). We served filet and scallops - both were absolutely delicious. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly and the scallops tasted so fresh. We had people throughout the night coming up to us saying, "that was the best food I've ever had at a wedding." Throughout the night, Blackstone's staff was attentive to us and always made sure we had what we needed. On a personal note, Blackstone's staff cares and truly wants your day to be as perfect as you want it. Their attention to detail made all the difference. I would recommend Blackstone over and over again!

they brought were perfect for our wedding. While the groom and I were running around with the guests, the Blackstone staff made sure we were well-fed and always had drinks in hand. The full experience surpassed my expectations. I am so happy that we went with Blackstone!!

s exceptional. Everything is made on site (which is not the case for all caterers). You get what you pay for & it's well worth it for Blackstone Caterers.

her car and got a blanket for her. I worked with Shannon and she was great and made me feel like everything was taken care of.

on beforehand. She is always pleasant and willing to help you out with anything that you may need. All of the staff at the reception were professional and on point. Blackstone is definitely worth the money. You won't have any regrets!

nens I could pick from and it was a lot easier than I thought considering I'm quite picky. My guest could not stop raving about the food and the service. We had our own personal server, which was great. App were brought to us while we were taking pictures. Everything looked great, they helped set up my centerpieces, place cards, and dessert table. If I could I would give them 10 stars.

n upscale restaurant even though you're feeding a large quantity of people. Definitely recommend!

dding night. Working with Danielle was the best experience. She made everything absolutely easy and communicated with you very effectively. She responded to every single email/phone call as soon as she could. The service was fantastic on our wedding night and our guests are still raving about how delicious all the food was. Delicious and very professional...can't ask for much more! The staff were all amazing too! So accommodating :) A big shout out to Emilio who waited on my husband and I all night. He was there for anything and always made sure your glass was full!! You cannot go wrong with Blackstone Caterers! Thank you for helping our dream wedding come to life!

the appetizers to the dinner to the specialty cocktail they were excellent. The incentives were great too! I would recommend them to anyone!

rovided. The food and presentation were excellent, and they really made it part of the whole experience. Our overall theme was rustic/country, and they worked that into the food by doing a farm-to-table style country buffet. The flavors were so much more interesting and inspired than your typical chicken & fish fare. We are still hearing compliments from our guests nearly six months later! The staff was so attentive, professional, and accommodating to every guest. They assigned a staff member to us that made sure my husband and I had a chance to try a little of everything during cocktail hour, and throughout our buffet reception; between taking photographs and socializing I don't think we would have had a chance otherwise! We were so grateful for everything Blackstone was able to do for us. They truly went above and beyond to ensure the planning process and our wedding day was absolutely stress-free. We could not have been more pleased with the whole experience, and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding.

She made sure we were taken care of all night, and most importantly we ate! They were more than just a caterer - they helped coordinate the whole day and made it stress free. I highly recommend them to any couple who is looking for an excellent caterer. Thank you, Blackstone for your help in creating a wonderful day!!

e and thoughtfulness. The food is delicious - their Short Rib plate with Mashed Parsnips and Potatoes is some of the best wedding food I've tasted. Their eye for details - between set up for ceremony, cocktail hour and reception (all in different spaces, I might add) is impeccable. Truly professionals in the business led by a fantastic owner, who makes it down majority of the events happening here at Greenvale to see the event through and celebrate with his customers! Cheers to many more events with Blackstone Catering!

first experience was at their tasting facility in Middletown, RI after already tasting with the most well-known caterer out of MA. Blackstone blew them out of the water in all categories - presentation, attention to detail, taste, customer service and truly making me feel that my business / wedding was of the upmost importance. We worked with Shannon (well known as St. Shannon for her patience amongst other wedding vendors), and from the start I felt completely at ease and that Shannon had our best intentions at heart. She took us through the menu and options diligently and we choose selections like clam chowder in adorable porcelain mugs with a clam fritter perched on top, mini-lobster rolls, fish & chips in paperboats as appetizers. Quintessential New England items, which I loved for our out of town guests. For mains, we went with the halibut topped with a fresh chimichurri sauce sitting on a bed of citrus risotto and snap beans as well as a filet accompanied by a cabernet demi-glace and smashed, shallot potatoes. Delicious. For dessert we had strawberry shortcakes arranged in mini mason jars, whoopie pies, crème brulee and the thrown in surprise of passed warm cookies and milk shooters. My mouth waters even two weeks later thinking about these dishes! They tasted no different on the day of our wedding as they did at the tasting which is incredible seeing as we had over 150 guests. Even John, the owner stopped by the day of to check in, which being in a customer service field, I really appreciated. If you are looking for a truly buttoned up, inventive, personal caterer who goes the extra mile for their couples go no further than Blackstone and Shannon. I will be trying to relive these dishes for years to come!

at our tasting, and all of our guests commented on how tasty everything was at the wedding! The service was perfect. Food arrived hot and in a timely manner by friendly servers. The coordinators were extremely accomodating and responsive and helped us with all of our questions prior to the wedding. They set up the room perfectly and were there all night of the wedding to make sure we were good and help us in any way possible. Absolutely the best caterer we have seen and they made the wedding so perfect!

that they were a bit pricier than we’d planned on. Right away, they worked with us to keep the costs down, while still keeping the details and dishes that we couldn’t do without. We always felt they were honest with us about what was important to splurge on and where we could save. Leading up to the wedding, our coordinator, Karen Tungett, was absolutely amazing. She responded to every email and call within 24 hours and was very clear with all of her answers. We always felt like she understood exactly what we wanted and there was NEVER a stupid question in her eyes. Every time I spoke with Karen, I felt more confident about how the wedding would turn out. When we did walkthrus and coordination with other vendors, Blackstone always had a good relationship with them. There were never any conflicts between the venue or any other vendors. It kept the stress level down for sure. On the day of, Blackstone did a great job displaying all of the little details that I had provided and made the venue look beautiful with their own decorations. They also were very helpful in coordinating our ceremony which was located at the reception venue, and made us all more comfortable to have some help on that front. Finally, the food!! The appetizers, meals and desserts were a huge hit. I had many guests telling me that it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. The staff was all extremely warm and accommodating to our guests (even the ones spending a bit too much time at the open bar…). They also took great care to make sure the groom and I always had a glass of champagne and/or some food waiting at our place setting whenever we had time for a bite. All in all, Blackstone exceeded any expectations that I could have possibly had for our wedding and I can’t think of a single thing that they could have improved.
