Blackstone Caterers

ing Covid-19. Together we create Andrew & I’s dream menu, layout and overall atmosphere, all while keep guests and event personnel safe. The delicious, multicourse meal (served family style – our #1 wedding vision), became the showcase of the reception. We were not surprised that each guest made a point to compliment how amazing the food and service was at our wedding. Thank you to the entire Blackstone family for being a HUGE part of our wedding day & ensuring we had our dream (even during COVID).

hors d’oeuvres to the plated dinner to the passed ice cream cones for dessert. Blackstone went above and beyond our expectations. If you are having a wedding in the area. 110% recommend using them.

I read through reviews of different vendors. Blackstone by far had the best reviews. We were lucky enough to be able to work with Shannon. She was incredible! Shannon was so easy to talk to and offered so many incredible ideas. She even offered to help customize our menu. She was responsive to email and by phone. Two weeks before our wedding, Omicron hit and we had guests starting to cancel. New rules started to be put in place and we were starting to get nervous. Shannon and Blackstone were so accommodating due to this unexpected surge. They were so patient with us having to call and email everyday with new numbers for guests. My family and I are so grateful to have worked with Shannon. She truly helped to make our day so special. The service and the food are fantastic! The food was delicious and we continue to get compliments from our guests. The team was incredibly professional, from the wait staff to the bartenders. I would highly recommend having Blackstone to cater your wedding.

ldn’t have been easier. Karen in particular is amazing to work with. She is so hands on and makes it look so easy. From start to finish she made us feel at ease that our day would be perfect, and it was! The FOOD is delicious, and we were lucky enough to be able to try everything due to their hands on/attentive staff. They make sure you don't miss a beat and just enjoy on your special day. When you visit for your tasting you truly get to see how much they love their jobs because they make it so fun. They work with you on décor and menu choices - they have so many options to customize your day to be perfect for you,. I promise you will not be disappointed.

nd creating our own versions from our favorite date spots in Boston. Every appetizer, dish and dessert at our event was delicious and the presentation was immaculate. We still have people commenting how good the food was and asking for recipes. Can’t wait to get to sample more Blackstone deliciousness at my cousin’s wedding next year!

and flexible. We specifically worked with Danielle, who was truly wonderful. The day of the wedding, the Blackstone team was INCREDIBLE. They went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I had everything we needed. They even helped me bustle my gown when we had some technical issues with the process! The table settings looked absolutely beautiful, and the food was amazing. We will forever be grateful that we had the opportunity to work with this amazing catering company, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

th every detail of our wedding and planning. She was able to answer all of our questions with confidence and put us at ease constantly. She understood our vision and executed it with professionalism and a big smile! Jackie and the Blackstone team were so attentive to our guests and made sure the bride and groom were fed and taken care of throughout our wedding night. We are so grateful to Jackie for everything she did to make our day so special. If you have the opportunity to work with her, you won't regret it! Thank you to everyone at Blackstone for being part of our wedding and providing such excellent service and food.

dn't be sweeter). We had numerous COVID postponements and they were so kind and accommodating. And most importantly, the food was delicious!! We highly recommend Blackstone!

cellent service and presentation. Blackstone did a tasting with us which was a great way to pick the apps and food. When our wedding day came Blackstone did not disappoint! Our guests loved all of the food and raved about how delicious everything was. Someone was assigned to me as the bride to make sure during the cocktail hour I was fed and given water while we were doing photos. This was such a nice gesture especially because the big surprise to our guests was that we are pregnant! So making sure I had water and food ensured I was feeling my best and got to fully enjoy our event. Thank you so much to everyone at Blackstone for making such a special day so perfect. We are forever grateful.

rom our guests. Everyone will tell you that you don’t eat at your own wedding, but the catering staff was super attentive and made sure my husband I had plates and full drinks all night long. Shannon was also amazing to work with leading up to the big day—always super responsive and helpful, happy to help customize whatever!

d about the food (even our foodie guests). Can’t recommend Blackstone enough. Thank you Shannon for everything!!

h. Shannon was SO patient with my endless changes and questions. They really helped ease my worries. Shannon also handled rentals through PEAK for me. Everything came as ordered and was stunning. The food was great! We had guests raving about the chicken in particular. I couldn’t be more pleased with the servers - they were kind and professional. Our personal server — I believe her name was Erica. She was very attentive to my husband and I. The servers also made it a point to serve hors d’oeuvres to all the family and us while taking photos. I wasn’t expecting that but it was lovely. Lastly, the event coordinator - Dada. We only met briefly before the wedding and I knew immediately she was great. She helped everything run so smoothly. I still can’t believe how great the wedding turned out and it was a big thanks to blackstone. They are worth every penny!

food was delicious - we had several people tell us they've never eaten so well at a wedding!

thing special was about to be created. I had to reschedule my 2020 wedding due to Covid, and Karen was the one whom helped me move my date and during what was a very stressful time she was the one whom made me feel confident in my decision to move dates and provided me with a sense of comfort. Not only was she my caterer, but more importantly my friend. I felt so cared for and she always responded to me in a timely manner to address any questions or concerns I may have had. Now to talk about the food....guests are raving! The food was amazing, and the presentation was so beautifully done. My husband and I felt so cared for the night of our wedding, from the bartenders to the wait staff, they were all so friendly and attentive to myself and my guests. I am so thankful to Blackstone Caterers and I highly recommend!

al Dinner, Wedding Reception, and Wedding Brunch. Everything was delicious! But moreover, it was incredibly catered to US. My now-husband and I are both vegetarian, I’m Gluten Free, and we had a number of vegan guests at our wedding. Before finding Blackstone, we had nearly ruled-out working with a “normal” catering company, because we figured it just wouldn’t work out. Boy were we wrong. The food was absolutely delicious (seriously, all the guests kept talking about it) AND they catered to all our various food-restrictions (I had *multiple* people say that it was the easiest wedding they had ever attended in terms of food availability). Foods that get special shoutouts from us: Risotto Station, especially Mushroom Truffle risotto. Seaside Station (Everyone raved about it). Tofu stir fry and pumpkin ravioli, plus gnocci spoons were to die for <3 Unexpectedly delightful: Our guests LOVED (and commented on) the signature cocktails (esp. sangria and margarita) and the brunch food (esp the frittata and breakfast potatoes)! I whole-heartedly recommend Blackstone to any and all couples looking for the most warm, supportive, and flexible team for their wedding events

fessional when getting back to us, and also just a blast to work with. On the day of, she was fully on top of everything and really understood our vision & executed it to perfection. Her team was also fantastic, from the bartenders to the wait staff to the people we had following my husband and I around making sure we ate and drank :) No detail was missed. The food was excellent, we did family style and our guests had amazing things to say about it! Shannon, you are a Rockstar - we would highly recommend Blackstone to anyone planning a wedding in RI. 5 STARS!!!!

which was so fun and perfect. The staff was attentive especially to me during cocktail hour. They made sure I had a drink or an hors d’oeuvre in my hand at all times which was so wonderful because on your wedding day you are so busy you really don’t think about yourself. We don’t live in the area, and Danielle was kind enough to let me ship several of our items to her directly, like our card box, a seating chart stir sticks for the champagne wall, etc. which helped us so much with flying. I really appreciate everything and love how everything turned out.

ed for a smoother wedding experience! We've had so many of our guests rave about the hors d'oeuvres passed during cocktail hour & their dinners! They were so accommodating to food allergies, which was wonderful. Overall, I'd highly, highly recommend Jackie & Blackstone Caterers to anyone looking to feed 20 guests to 200+ guests! Thank you so much!

om one of my dreams. I could not recommend them enough to be honest. As someone who has been to many great weddings, including a few where blackstone catered, their service is exceptional and their hospitality for their customers cannot be beat. Truly, if you are between caterers for your wedding, book blackstone!

we could do. She graciously honored our existing contract for a new date in 2021. I was one of the lucky brides whose new wedding date coincided with Hurricane Henri making landfall in New England. Karen and I were in constant communication throughout the wedding weekend as we watched the forecast together. Since I did not have a wedding planner, she coordinated with my venue directly to ensure we were all on the same page with possible contingency plans. I had so many cancellations the day of the event from guests who were hesitant about the weather. Karen was patient through all of the last minute changes. Ultimately, we were able to move forward with hosting our reception as scheduled that night and the food was exceptional. The quality of the ingredients and the level of sophistication really impressed all of the guests. I highly recommend Blackstone for your wedding!

best food they have every had - including fine restaurants! We worked with Shannon and the planning process was easy and fun. She responded to all needs and changes with incredibly kindly and quickly. Thanks - Blackstone for an amazing expererience!

sponsive. She let us do whatever we asked for in one way or another, working with us to make sure every detail was perfect and reflected our vision. On our wedding day, all of our expectations were exceeded. The food was the talk of the wedding. We loved the presentation and plating at cocktail hour and dinner. The servers were professional and our personal bridal liaison made sure the bride and groom never had to lift a finger. If you are looking for gourmet, exquisite, not your typical "wedding food" - Blackstone is the place to go. Thank you to Shannon and Blackstone for making our wedding reception everything we wanted and more!!

re my husband and I had fresh drinks, appetizers and meals - she was so attentive to us. We LOVE this vendor team!

and the vision behind it. We had planned and cancelled our wedding twice already (at other venues) due to covid so we were pretty burnt out on planning. Jackie made the entire planning experience a dream. She was so organized and on top of every tiny detail we really didn’t have to worry at all. She provided documents that were so helpful and thorough so we could plan and layout the ceremony procession, the decoration details, and keep the vendors organized. Jackie was always a phone call or a text away for any random question we had. She also contacted and organized all the vendors for me and even showed them around the property so they would know exactly what to expect on the day. Speaking of the day, Jackie was the contact person and organizer so I didn’t have to talk to anyone or make any decisions… it was amazing!!! We stayed in the bridal suite from Thursday- Sunday and got ready in there with the bridesmaids on our wedding day. Susan, Ryan, Amy and Wayne (and more) made sure we had everything we needed the entire time. The room is huge and very comfortable. We didn’t think we would sleep well the night before our wedding because we were so excited but the bed was sooo cozy we had a fantastic sleep!! There are actually two rooms, two bathrooms, and essentially a little living room with a fridge- it was the perfect place to get ready. It also has a gorgeous tub and balcony to sit out on. Susan greeted us in the morning with freshly baked croissants from a local bakery, delicious coffee, juice, fruit, yogurt and freshly infused water. She also brought up Shepherd’s Run sparkly the morning of the wedding for all of us girls!! The actually property feels like you have been transported to the south of France. Every room is decorated better than the last and there are so many comfortable places to sit and drink your coffee while looking at the gorgeous outdoor space. We got married in Beatrix Garden, which was stunning and absolutely perfect. There are outdoor and indoor spaces to use so we didn’t have to even think about the weather. The area where the cocktail hour was held was breathtaking. Our guests were able to spread out on couches, tables, Adirondack chairs, decks and a ledge with high top chairs. The beautiful decks held a bar, a raw bar and our musicians with tons of extra space for guests to mingle and relax. Everyone was commenting on how amazing it was. I had so many guests genuinely tell me it was the best wedding the had ever been to. The tent (which is always there) was gorgeous and huge and decorated with romantic, whimsical twinkle lights. There was a huge area for the band and dancing and the tables each had plenty of space while still feeling intimate. I can’t say enough good about Shepherd’s Run and the people who run it. The food was absolutely outstanding and we actually had our own personal server assigned to us who attended to anything we would need. Our guests commented on how delicious the food was more times than I could count. The servers were fast and the bartenders were fantastic! Shepherd’s Run was better than we could have ever imagined it could be, and it is right in South Kingstown!
