Blue Rocks Catering is nothing short of spectacular. Noelle and her team brought to our event, which was a destination yacht club with as many challenges as features, complete professional competence, with the intimacy of warm and dedicated friends! In all the events my wife and I have been a part of or planned, Blue Rocks was the only group whose caliber of service equalled the quality of their food-and it was all amazing! Our guests raved and we have found our catering team for all our future gatherings and parties!
Blue Rocks Catering did a great job for our wedding! The food was delicious and beautifully presented – their charcuterie boards are gorgeous and a must have. In addition, the portions and quality of the food exceeded expectations. From the beginning, we worked with Noelle to customize our menu for our wedding and she is truly such a gem. Noelle is extremely responsive, on top of everything, and has amazing attention to detail. Our venue required us to do rentals for plates, silverware, glassware, etc. which can be an overwhelming process, but Blue Rocks handled these directly with the rental vendor seamlessly. We had several guests compliment how lovely the food looked and tasted at our wedding. My only constructive feedback would be that there seemed to be a noticeable delay from which one room in our venue was served dinner vs. the other – perhaps, they just needed a few more staff to help passing out dinners. Huge thank you to the Blue Rocks team for catering our wedding – we are so happy that we went with your company!
Blue Rocks was absolutely amazing and extremely patient with me when finalizing all of the details. The food was amazing! People are still texting me about how good the beef wellington was and that it was the best wedding food they've ever had. Would book with BR 100 times over! Will be booking for future events!
Blue Rocks did such an amazing job from start to finish with our wedding. We had some personal inspiration for our menu, and they made sure that we got everything we asked for. Our tasting was wonderful, but we wanted to make a few tweaks to ingredients and the Chef accommodated our requests with ease. Noelle is super patient and always willing to lend a hand and honest advice (even for things not related to the food!)- she truly is a wonderful, thoughtful, & very talented individual! Best of all, our guests are still talking about the food at our wedding (2 months later!!!). We cannot recommend Blue Rocks enough and cannot wait to be able to use them again for future events :)
We had the most perfect experience with Blue Rocks!!! They absolutely knocked it out of the park! The food and cocktails were amazing - guests were raving about the raw bar and lobster rolls! We even had a shucker walking around with oysters. The set up and display were so exceptional as well and they worked so hard to match our vibe. Everyone that works for Blue Rocks is extremely personable and kind. I can’t say enough about how great they were to work with!
Blue Rocks is amazing! The food, service, and communication is amazing. We chose to do stations, there are so many options and each one was fantastic. We worked with Noelle, she went above and beyond to make our day seamless and special. Highly recommend!
I can’t say enough about Noelle and the team at Blue Rocks. They went above and beyond with everything. So helpful not with catering but checking in and helping with recommendations for whatever was needed. We were planning the wedding out of town on a budget and she jumped in to help with any and everything she could. They were patient with a reluctant bride and her less than timely answers to questions. Day of the team was top notch. Helpful, kind, attentive and our guests raved about the food and service. I can not recommend them more. They made the wedding!
Noelle and the staff at Blue Rocks Catering helped us to host the most beautiful baby shower for our daughter! As we were planning this event from South Carolina, Noelle not only helped us to plan a delicious menu for our guests, she went above and beyond in her attention to all the details. She was flawless in her assistance to us and arranged our event space beautifully. Everyone on her team was amazing and together they all made my daughter and son-in-law's baby shower a most memorable celebration. We would highly recommend Blue Rocks Catering for your next event!
Our July 2023 wedding was a tented occasion on a beautiful property in Charlestown. Blue Rocks was a dream to work with. I was expecting beautiful displays, locally sourced ingredients, and deliciously made food. They provided that and more. The team was easy to communicate with in the many months leading up to our day. Through emails and phone consultations, they created an individualized menu that took into consideration our food needs (no shellfish) and vision for a varied menu. They even created a delicious food station with a menu that went outside of the offered choices. They worked within our budget and brought our vision to life. At one point, we asked to do passed horsdevoures all night without assigned tables for our guests. Ultimately we didn’t go with that plan but Blue Rocks was in full support. Our ideas were always met with enthusiasm.
We’d highly suggest doing a food tasting with them. They made sure we felt special and our champagne glasses were always full. Being able to enjoy the food and talk to the chef created a lovely memory! Please the food was DELICIOUS!
Our July wedding was hot and humid. However, Noelle and her team had smiles on their faces and made sure my husband and I were well taken care of. Their attention to detail, communication across vendors, and kindness didn’t go unnoticed. Noelle even offered to run to the local package store to ensure we had everything we needed. We felt special and cared for.
We would highly recommend Blue Rocks Catering for anyone who values supporting a great business and delicious food.
Blue Rocks is the best. They handled the catering for our welcome party for 125 people. They did a great job of incorporating local coastal favorites and Mediterranean stations for our lots of international guests. The tasting was great, very personal and we went home with lots of leftovers. Our guests raved about the food and Noelle did an awesome job making everything run smoothly, especially when it started to rain. Would highly recommend
I recently had the pleasure of working with Blue Rocks as the caterer for my wedding, and I cannot express how delighted I am with their services. From start to finish, they exceeded our expectations in every way, leaving a lasting impression on our special day.
The food provided by Blue Rocks was nothing short of spectacular. From the hors d'oeuvres to the main course and desserts, every bite was a culinary delight. The flavors were exquisite, and the presentation was simply breathtaking. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious food, and many said it was the best wedding meal they had ever had.
The exceptional quality of the food was complemented by the outstanding service provided by the Blue Rocks team. They were professional, attentive, and incredibly friendly. They went above and beyond to ensure that every guest's needs were met, and they did so with a smile. Their impeccable service added an extra layer of warmth and hospitality to our wedding, and we are immensely grateful for their dedication.
What truly sets Blue Rocks apart is their attention to detail. They took care of every little aspect, ensuring that our wedding was not only a feast for the taste buds but also a visual masterpiece. The table settings, the decor, and even the way the food was presented were nothing short of perfection. It was clear that they put their heart and soul into making our day as beautiful as it was delicious.
In the often stressful world of wedding planning, Blue Rocks made everything effortless. They were accommodating, responsive, and took the time to understand our preferences and vision. They executed it flawlessly, leaving us stress-free and able to fully enjoy our celebration.
In summary, Blue Rocks provided us with an unforgettable dining experience that will be cherished by us and our guests for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of catering services for any special occasion. Their food is divine, their service is impeccable, and their attention to detail is extraordinary. They truly made our wedding day a dream come true, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you, Blue Rocks, for making our day so perfect!
We absolutely love Blue Rocks Catering and booking them for our wedding was one of the first and easiest decisions we made in the planning process! As soon as we kicked off conversations with them, we knew we were in good hands. They were fantastic from the start - helping us understand our options, making suggestions for our budget and we love the variety of their menu options which use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. They helped us each step of the way as we dreamed up our perfect menu and let me tell you, it was a hit! Our guests are still talking about how great the food was at our wedding. We worked closely with Noelle who went above and beyond to help ensure we felt supported and that everything was perfect! We wish we could do it all again just to eat the food! We will absolutely use Blue Rocks again in the future and highly recommend them for any event needs! Thank you Blue Rocks team for helping make our dreams come true!!!
Blue Rocks was exceptional from start to finish. Through frequent communication with initial planning, to quick responses, and excellent communication - we felt so taken care of through the entire wedding process. Blue Rocks provided excellent food and presentation, all of our rentals and linens, and incredible service that our guests continue to compliment. We hope to work with Blue Rocks again for any catering needs!
Blue Rocks is a unique caterer unlike many in Southern New England. No boring italian food here. Their menu and execution is creative and delicious. Noelle and the staff at Blue Rocks worked closely with us to iron out the details of our intimate, non-traditional reception. We initially went BIG and then got a little sticker shock; they worked with us to tame the menu, rentals and all the details to get to a place that was comfortable for our budget. They knocked it out of the park, and were a pleasure to work with.
The Block Rocks Staff was amazing in every way possible. They were efficient, timely and very friendly. They all paid attention to detail to make my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding a fabulous event. From Fantastic table settings, delicious food and warm and friendly staff, Blue Rocks is the Best!!
Hire Blue Rocks for your wedding!! Their food is so delicious, our guests and us loved it! Several guests let us know afterwards that the food at our wedding was amazing. Their entrees are unique too, it's not your run of the mill blah wedding food. We really wanted to incorporate seafood options at our coastal wedding, and Blue Rocks was able to do that at an affordable price point that other caterers in the area just did not offer. The mini lobster rolls during cocktail hour were a hit!
On top of the amazing food and drink, their team is a delight! Noelle is so down to earth and chill while simultaneously on top of everything. She was in constant communication with us in the week leading up to our wedding day to ensure we were aligned in lock step. We had our wedding at a non-traditional venue so we had to bring in all of the supplies. Blue Rocks did the supplies rental through Peak for us, which was incredibly helpful. They already have relationships and know exactly what is needed for the event, things like bar glassware totals, etc. Noelle constantly provided her expert advice for the event setup and flow to ensure their team could execute at their best. We already had our bar selections, but the day before our wedding my fiancée mentioned he'd love to have an aperol spritz during cocktail hour. Noelle checked back at their offices if they had any on hand and brought a bottle to the event just for him. Incredible service! We'd hire them again in a heartbeat.
Blue Rock was amazing! The food, the service, everything was perfect!! I highly recommend using them. Noelle and her staff were so friendly, they were like family. Fun party!
Blue Rocks Catering had all our guests talking about the food at our wedding for weeks after. Food was an important element for us when planning our wedding. Blue Rock’s food was incredible and memorable and wowed our guests. We chose to do a family style dinner. Blue Rocks helped us put together an exceptional menu that incorporated everything we dreamed of having at our wedding. They incorporated local ingredients and the freshest fish that was caught day of. The hors d'oeuvres were also to die for and the raw bar was a huge hit. Everything was so delicious, they knocked it out of the park. Most importantly, the team at Blue Rocks is kind, responsive, supportive, and talented. They were highly involved in the wedding planning process and participated in every walk through. They went above and beyond and even helped set up tables, flowers, and decorations at our venue. We became great friends with the team and will trust them with any of our culinary needs in the future. Thank you Noelle, Kate, Joel, Katie and the rest of the Blue Rocks staff. Highly recommend.
The team that came were terrific. Friendly accommodating and the food was fantastic. I strongly recommend Blue Rocks Catering
We recently used Blue Rocks Catering out of Westerly, RI for our daughter’s bridal shower brunch. From the very moment we engaged Blue Rock we knew we were in good hands. They were very responsive to our inquires both via email and phone. With many items to select from Katie and Noelle helped guide us through their brunch menu offerings. An on-site visit of our home was invaluable as we worked to solidify our menu, décor, table placement, linens, and floral arrangements. Without a doubt, Blue Rock is a full-service catering company!
On the day of the event Blue Rock showed up early to insure everything was in order. The food, service and presentation was nothing less than perfection. Our menu was just the right balance of breakfast and lunch offerings. The baked goods and deserts were to die for and the Bellini Bar added to a perfect day. Our guests still rave about the food!
Choosing Blue Rock for your next event will be one of the best decisions you make! We look forward to working with the team again in the future.
Our event was at our house, in pouring rain, and with many different allergies and dietary restrictions - and the number one thing people have gushed about is the food. Somehow, despite all the complications of the day, Blue Rocks delivered a truly delicious meal that met everyone’s needs and did it with such kindness and professionalism despite having to ferry food outside in the downpour. Working with them in the lead up the event was incredibly easy and they were flexible as our needs changed. We cannot recommend them highly enough!!
I am so happy that we got to work with Katie and the team at Blue Rocks Catering for my at-home wedding in June 2022! The team was so helpful in planning the menu, making multiple edits, and giving us an incredible tasting. The day of went very smoothly, especially considering the team had to feed 110 people in our backyard with no access to a real kitchen - I don't know how they did it! The raw bar with oysters from Katie's family farm were a huge hit and many of our guests commented on how amazing the food was, including a guest who is a chef at a prominent restaurant in Boston. I would absolutely hire Blue Rocks again and am hoping I have another event just so I can work with them again :)
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Katie and the entire service crew worked above and beyond for our wedding day at the Branford House. Food was delicious and service was attentive. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for our next event.
Chose Blue Rock for my son and daughter-in-law rehearsal dinner. The best choice I made! Absolutely fabulous from set up to charcuterie table onto hors d’oeuvres and our family style dinner, which was so yummy. I would recommend Katie and her crew to anyone who asked- loved them!
We hired Blue Rock for our engagement party at my parents home. They were exceptional! We had passed apps, buffet style dinner, a couples cake and mini desserts. Our guests continue to rave about the food. I couldn’t recommend them enough!
Blue Rocks did the catering and wedding cake for our wedding, which we had at my parents' house. The food was delicious and the service was perfect. They were really nice to work with through the entire process. We were so happy with everything and highly recommend them.
We had Blue Rocks cater a rehearsal dinner reception for the wedding party and out-of-town guests. We were impressed with the food and service. To a person, the staff was efficient, attentive, and personable. The food was delicious! My only regret is I don’t have an upcoming occasion to have them cater another event.
We are so happy that we chose Blue Rocks Catering for our daughter's wedding. Everyone on their team went above and beyond to make sure that the special day was spectacular. The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. Every person who came to the event was professional and friendly. I will happily recommend them to anyone who is looking for a caterer for their special event.
The Blue Rocks team did such an incredible job with our wedding. They came highly recommended, but once we did our tasting in their Westerly location we knew we had made the right choice. They still managed to outperform our expectations on the day of the wedding. Every part of the service - the hors d'oeuvres, the cheese board, the bar, and of course, dinner, was perfect. The food was incredible and the portions were huge. No one left hungry. So many of our guests told us how fantastic the food was. We couldn't recommend Blue Rocks more highly.
Kate, Mimi, and the blue rocks team are incredible. From the moment we walked into their space for our tasting in westerly, we knew they would take care of us and were what we were looking for. They had options for family style serving, value local sourced food and were easy to make decisions with that catered to our style. Their positive, down to earth energy and AMAZING food, and genuine care for our happiness, made for the most perfect day of our lives. Even the guests raved about it (especially the oysters & flank steak). It was so seamless and we couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. Thank you to blue rocks and your amazing team for making our day so special.
I cannot say enough good things about blue rocks & Kate. Besides having the most amazing food in the area, Kate is a literal dream to work with. She helped me with things way beyond what she was hired to do and there are no words that could appropriately describe how grateful I am. My wedding took close to 3 years to plan thanks to covid and she was there every step of way! From changing of venues to actually making sure I ate on the big day and everything in between. Our friends and family raved about the food for weeks after and even said they have never had food as good at a wedding or even a restaurant. If you are looking for the BEST food in New England for your event, look no further.
The staff were wonderful and very attentive. They ran the event very efficiently and everything processed seamlessly without any problems. The appetizers were wonderful and the raw bar spectacular
Blue Rocks was the best choice we could have made for our reception - not only did they make working together within our budget & nontraditional style a breeze, but our guests won't stop raving about the food. Especially if you're looking to impress out of town guests with the best new england cuisine, they're your people. I really appreciated how they checked in on me & my husband during the ceremony to make sure we were eating (we weren't!) and made us a plate - Blue Rocks is just tasty taste, full stop. The team was also super helpful with last-minute furniture and heater rentals (you know weather is unpredictable) and everything was totally stress-free.
The Blue Rocks Catering team did an incredible job providing the food at our wedding. The appetizers and entree were spectacular. We were so pleased with the presentation of the meal and the exemplary service of their staff. I have an allergy and they took great care to ensure all of the food was able to be enjoyed with confidence. We didn’t want a typical wedding food experience and Blue Rocks delivered, we enjoyed locally sourced cuisine from both farm and sea. Our guests are still talking about how great everything was. Would highly recommend!
I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Blue Rocks Catering!!! After having to reschedule our wedding three times because of Covid-19 restrictions, Blue Rocks was there each time, every step of the way, to work with me on a new date and a new menu, reflective of the current season. We finally were able to get married on August 20, 2021, and our expectations for food were definitely exceeded. In fact, it was in the top three compliments from our wedding guests, between the food, the band, and the desserts. We started with some passed hors d'oeuvres, including, my favorite, filet of beef w. garlic aioli, roasted tomato, and arugula micro on black sea salt parmesan toast. Along with a couple other passed appetizers, we also requested an artisan cheeseboard and a New England raw bar, which was absolutely amazing, with oysters and clams freshly shucked per order.
We decided on dinner stations as opposed to served, sit down dinners and the Blue Rocks staff did an awesome job ensuring each table was called in a timely fashion to get their entrees. I honestly cannot even decide if I liked the pasta station with the fresh tagliatelle with braised beef shank ragu and the penne rigate, basil pesto cream sauce, grilled chicken + blistered cherry tomatoes OR the Butchers Block station with the garlic-herb grilled flank steak w/ smokey chimichurri and the rosemary + garlic pork loin w/ pinot noir & cherry pan sauce, better!! They even managed to make the salad bar look appetizing with two different salads, an artisan romaine Tuscan Caesar salad and a summer berry salad, and I am not even a vegetable eater!!
I will say, again, the staff were amazing, in that, they made sure my husband and I always had an appetizer in hand or ensuring we had full plates of the dinner options to sit down and eat, something couples so often forget to do at their wedding!!
Last, but not least, the cocktail bar was handled expertly, without guests having to wait long periods of time to receive their beverages, including our signature cocktails, created and presented beautifully by Blue Rocks Catering: The Summer Rose Sangria and The Moscow Mule.
I would highly recommend Blue Rocks Catering for any future catering events and can confidently say you will receive the best service and care with Katie and her team!!
P.s. I almost forgot about the late night menu Blue Rocks offers as well!! After a long night of dancing and drinking, about an hour before guests were departing, we had miniature cheeseburger sliders with pickles and french fries. This definitely helped to end the night on a good note and to soak up some alcohol before the end of the event! It was perfect.
Thank you again Katie, and your staff at Blue Rocks Catering for everything!!
Lindsay + Mitchell
If you want to feel heard, valued, and have no fears when it comes to your caterer you can’t go wrong with Katie! She helped us navigate postponing and literally designing our wedding layout, as we had a wedding under a tent at a place we had to bring everything in. It was a big undertaking and Katie was right in there with us as we built our wedding from the ground up. It’s a local family owned Rhode Island company -it’s good people, excellent food, and quality service. You cannot go wrong! We love Katie and her team -they even helped my husband surprise me with oysters and food for after the wedding and put them in our apartment for us. High quality team and We can’t wait to be able to book them for other future events!!
My daughter’s wedding was catered by Blue Rocks Catering and we couldn’t be happier! As a chef and former caterer, my daughter knew exactly what she wanted for her reception. She had attended a friend’s wedding catered by Blue Rocks and immediately knew she wanted to have them cater her upcoming wedding, as well. Kate listened to our requests and provided the outstanding service and delicious food we had hoped for. Guests commented on the overall quality and presentation of the food and beverages. From the appetizers (butternut squash and goat cheese tartlets were amazing!) to the variety of small plate entrees (braised short ribs with risotto, mini lobster rolls, chicken and waffle), there was something for everyone. I highly recommend Blue Rocks Catering for a memorable wedding reception!
Katie and her team are a pleasure to work with. Katie was super understanding of our budget and needs for catering. The menu she created was fabulous, the food was amazing and one of the main compliments I keep getting from our guests was how AMAZING the food was. From the display of her unique hors d'doeurves to the absolute magnificent cheeseboard, I'd highly recommend Blue Rocks Catering. Thank you for making our day unforgettable
We could not have done it without the Blue Rocks Team! Their service, food and experience exceed all of our expectations. We hired Kate and her team for our "Welcome Lobster Bake Dinner" before the wedding and PEOPLE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT.
We also had them for the wedding day!! And the personal attention on our wedding day was absolutely amazing. Our guests couldn't get over how delicious the food was! And how nice and personable the bartenders were.
I am so thankful that I chose the Blue Rocks Team to cater our wedding, they were Simply the Best.
Second time around with Blue Rocks and Behan Family Farms!!! And another SPECTACULAR Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding Reception. The food, the service, the bar-tending, the FOOD!! A++++ again!! Katie and her crew knocked both events out of the park again, just like they did the first time we hired them. And the raw bar at the rehearsal dinner that Katie's husband, Matt, from Behan Family Farms, spread out was FANTASTIC!! Oysters don't get any fresher than that unless you are on the boat! Every member of both crews was terrific. Katie and Matt are some of the sweetest people I have ever met! You will never be disappointed with any aspect of Blue Rocks Catering. And adding a raw bar from Behan's is the cherry on top!!
My daughter hired Katie do cater her wedding. I was hosting her bridal shower brunch and called katie for that too . It was fabulous! The Baked ham and cheesy potatoes were fantastic. I got so many compliments on the food and everyone was excited to hear they would be at the wedding. The staff was extremely helpful and so nice. I didn’t need to worry about a thing..
Blue Rocks Catering was everything we wanted and more. After searching high and low for a caterer that had it all we were so lucky to have finally found Blue Rocks. Katie and I clicked from our first phone call and I could just tell that she was someone we could trust to make our foodie dreams come true. My husband and I are super foodies and wanted our guests to walk away thinking that wasn’t just another wedding meal – Katie made that happen!! It was literally impossible to choose what items we wanted on our menu after the tasting because everything was so delicious. When we finally settled on a menu, Katie was flexible with totally personalizing our options and always listening to the things that were important to us. Our guests are still asking about the crab cakes, short ribs, and oyster bar! Katie’s husband has his own oyster farm and we were able to have a raw bar at the wedding which was an absolute hit! The bartenders also made the most amazing cocktails and didn’t skimp out on any of the good stuff. The staff was incredible and efficient and always checked in to see if there was anything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and we were so happy to work with someone as genuine as Katie and her amazing staff at Blue Rocks!
Fantastic food from friendly and attentive crew! The cake was the Bomb! Yet all the food was delicious (even the leftovers!) The service was exceptional. Katie and crew added flavor to a fantastic day!
Hiring Blue Rocks Catering was the best decision we made for our August 2020 wedding. Katie assisted in every aspect of planning, flawlessly turning our hopes and ideas into reality. Our wedding plans were in constant flux due to the pandemic, but Katie always had everything under control. Her expertise, professionalism and confidence took all the stress out of the process for us.
Blue Rocks catered our rehearsal dinner (with less than a week's notice!) and wedding day, fully coordinating our Wedding Weekend from start to finish. The team was so attentive to us and our guests throughout the weekend, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch. Everyone was so well taken care of, we never had to worry about a thing!
The food was simply amazing! Katie dreamed up a summer wedding menu that my guests are still talking about three months later; so many have said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Everything was so fresh and delicious, and the Behan Family Farm raw bar was icing on the cake! Having excellent food was our top priority, and Blue Rocks knocked it out of the park!
I would 100% recommend Blue Rocks Catering to anyone planning any type of event. The love and care that Katie puts into her work is truly special.
We are eternally grateful to Blue Rocks Catering for making our weekend unforgettable!
I really don’t know where to begin writing this review... but if you’re looking into hiring a catering company, please do yourself a favor and hire Blue Rocks. We hired them for our backyard wedding because our original plan was cancelled due to the Corona virus. We had two months to plan, and I have to say from start to finish, Katie (owner) was nothing short of amazing. She rewrote our proposal probably 25 times until it was exactly what we wanted and everything just worked out perfectly. Planning was super fun, and Katie listened to my ideas and totally perfected them. On the wedding day, Katie and her staff were so awesome and our guests raved about the service and the food. Now for the food and booze - biggest part of a wedding, and it was one of the best parts of our wedding. The signature cocktails were amazing (apple cider / bourbon cocktails) and Katie was so flexible with the bar area. The food was incredible. Our guests are still talking about it. Katie also catered our rehearsal dinner and even that food was so so good. Blue Rocks also was amazing with setting up the dessert table and had a lot of cool displays for dessert. I provided some things but Blue Rocks really jazzed up the table which I really thought was awesome. They took care of all of the little things you forget and make it more perfect than you can imagine. Also, there were always staff coming to me and my husband making sure we had our drinks and fed us while we were busy taking pictures and mingling. As a bride and groom you do all of this work for your wedding guests and it’s easy to forget about yourselves, but they were there always taking care of us and made sure we were happy and literally catered to... Looking back, we wouldn’t change a thing because the night was perfect and this company really, truly made it great. To brides and grooms - if your wedding plans were disrupted, give this company a call because I can assure you they will make your special day better than anything you can imagine.
Blue Rocks literally ROCKS! Words cannot even start to describe how amazing Katie and her team are from our very first phone call to every single detail that made our day absolutely perfect. Our guests are continuously raving about how amazing the food was, from the freshest oyster bar around to the mains, delicious desserts and even our late night snacks! Blue Rocks also understands all the ins and outs of COVID guidelines, which allowed us to feel relaxed and enjoy the day with our guests. Katie’s dedication and quick reply’s leading up to our day made us feel so confident and lucky to have her team make our day a dream come true!
FABULOUS! We reached out to Katie with no reference or back check. She stepped up to help with her team right away. I left a VM and she called right back. Food was phenomenal. It was fresh and presented beautifully and beyond delicious. Pricing was completely fair and staff was friendly, lovely and real!! You can’t loose. Do not hesitate to work with all of them. They came prepared and flexible. They certainly saved up and I also want to say Katie designed a glorious exciting menu. We enjoyed thoroughly.
FABULOUS!! Reached out to them with no background and they came through! Food was phenomenal. It was fresh and presented beautifully and beyond delicious! Pricing was beyond reasonable Staff were lovely and friendly and real. Can’t loose. Do not hesitate to work with them!
I am so thankful I found Blue Rocks catering when I did! My now husband and I decided to move up our wedding to July 11, 2020. We had about 3 weeks to throw a party together for 40 people. I truly believe we couldn't have done it without Katie. She helped us rent tables and chairs, the menu she provided was outstanding, and she was always available if I had any questions. The food was outstanding and the service was impeccable! I truly hope to find another opportunity to work with this company again.
If I could host an event solely so that I could hire Blue Rocks Catering again, I would. We asked them to put on a post-wedding brunch the day after our wedding for a group of about 40 of our closest friends and family and WOW did they impress!!! For starters, Katie and Matt were completely willing to work with me from day one. When we initially planned the brunch, we had an idea of what we wanted to do but as the planning went on and our budget became increasingly stretched, we had to make some adjustments. They were totally flexible and worked with me to ensure we could still put on the event we were dreaming of. In the end, we got so much more than we could have imagined. From the unforgettable bloody mary and bellini bar to the custom menu that we built together, my guests were truly blown away. It was the perfect way to end our wedding weekend and I honestly believe it wouldn't have been half as amazing if we had hired anyone else. Our wedding was in September 2019 and to this day our guests still talk about how incredible the brunch was!
Katie deserves 10 stars! She was so great and easy to work with! We had more of a casual, cocktail style wedding reception and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Everybody loved the pasta bar and raw bar! The cheese board was gorgeous. Katie was very helpful planning and answering all my questions. Every person from our wedding raved about the food! I would definitely recommend Blue stocks Catering for your next event!!
Where do I even begin? I walked away from this experience hoping that Kate would agree to be a friend for life. Between her, my photographers, and my DJ, I could not have asked for a better A-team. Planning my wedding from out of state should have been challenging, but it wasn't. Kate met with my parents and toured our venue with them for me since I couldn't be there, and chatted with them to make some plans. It was so easy to coordinate with her, and she even sent me texts the days and weeks leading up to the wedding just to check on my own well-being. She made everything easy, smooth, and stress-free. Her team helped decorate at the actual wedding, everything in style with our themes and colors. The food was incredible! Everyone always tells you "you won't have any time to eat at your wedding," which isn't true. She met us after the ceremony with champagne, her staff made sure we tried appetizers, they even put together a cheese plate for us since we hadn't had time to try any of it. We had guests texting us the next day telling us how good the food was. Her staff was courteous, thoughtful, and so kind in helping my parents and my family coordinate and clean everything up after. If I ever have any other large parties, I will 100% be hiring her. This team is worth every single penny you will pay them! Thank you Kate for helping me have such a beautiful day. You and your team are incredible!
My (new!) husband and I are deeply grateful to Katie and the Blue Rocks team, and so very impressed by the professionalism, accessibility, and kindness offered in our wedding planning process and weekend of events.
When we first contacted Katie, she already had another wedding on the same day, but was flexible to accommodate ours as well. We had been speaking with a number of caterers and were shocked at how unclear and confusing the process was seeming. That was different with Katie. Clear communication was on full offer. That first conversation was the last time the other event was mentioned - Katie and her team felt fully devoted to our day, menu, rentals, spirit of the event, and more. I’m sure it felt the same for the other couple; yet another reason to be impressed by this small but impressive shop. It was comforting to connect with Katie during the planning - she is humorous, down to earth, driven by common sense, and a seasoned caterer and event mastermind. You feel like you’re talking to a friend, which means a lot at the height of wedding planning stress and could use a good laugh!
When the big weekend came, Katie was exquisite at managing the whirlwind arrival of multiple vendors on a complex schedule and ensured that me (the bride) and families were aware of all going on but not stressed with anything. When it came to the food, I’ve heard only rave reviews (from a tough crowd!). A priority of Katie’s is working with local and sustainable vendors - this shines through in her menus, flavors, and knowledge of how to make just about anything work AND to have it carry the season, location, and authenticity often absent. Katie can tell you where all of her food is sourced from: the farm, grower, fisherman. We love Rhode Island, and we loved being able to support so many of the local businesses that Katie works with. It made our Jamestown wedding so much more special and rooted to the community.
At the event itself, we appreciated how attentive Katie’s staff were to me and my husband. Any time they caught my eye, they asked if I needed anything - more food, another drink. So many friends lamented about their own wedding days and the fact that they never ate. We got to eat and delight in everything - appetizers, dinner, drinks, dessert. To that point, it’s rare to go to a wedding and truly enjoy the food, drinks, venue, and company. We had a magical evening and were filled with so much love, happiness, and good food at the end. I feel lucky to have found Blue Rocks, and to have benefited from Katie’s flexibility, commitment, and experience. She was key to our event’s success.
Thank you, Katie and Blue Rocks!! We couldn’t recommend you more!
We can not say enough good things about Katie and her staff at Blue Rocks! They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding so perfect this past May. Katie made this process so easy by sitting down with us to get a feel for what we were looking for. She was very patient with me when I had no idea what I wanted. She provided so many different options for the food at our wedding and let us take our pick. The day of the wedding she made sure everything ran so smoothly that I didn't have to worry about a thing. The food was delicious and so beautiful and our guests were well taken care of. I cant imagine using anyone else. We have received so many compliments on our choice of caterer. The staff at blue rocks were so professional. We highly recommended them!!! You will not be disappointed!
From the moment my husband and I met Kate, we knew that there was no one else we could trust more for our biggest day. Kate immediately puts you at ease, which is hard to do during the stressful moments planning a wedding. When we met with other caterers we felt like we were just another account, while when we met with Kate she took the time to understand us and got to know us. She didn't see our wedding as just another menu, she helped to guide us through our vision of what we wanted our wedding to be. The thing everyone remembers about a wedding is the food, Kate and her team knocked it out of the park! Everyone has been ranting and raving about how delicious all of the food was at our wedding. Kate offers a wide variety of options to truly help customize the food that you want . Kate was so much more than a caterer to us, she truly went above and beyond ensuring all the little details were taken care of, so on the big day we didn't have to worry about a single thing. What was truly incredible was the care and attention Kate and her team dedicated to our day. Her staff seemed to genuinely enjoy their time and provided top notch service to all of our guests. There wasn't a single thing we would have done differently, and I can easily attribute that to Kate and her hard working team. Without a doubt, we highly recommend Blue Rock Catering for anyone's special occasion.
Blue Rocks Catering is truly the best, they catered our daughter’s wedding last weekend & it was flawless. The food is delicious & presently beautifully. The appetizers were excellent & unique.
As important is the attention to detail in planning, decorating, serving, communicating information, accessibility for questions.
Katie, the owner is smart, responsive, warm & energetic , going above & beyond to the point of bringing my husband back to the church to retrieve our car @11:30pm!!
Katie’s staff were all efficient & helpful and I really can not say enough positive comments about Blue Rocks. I would highly recommend them if you want to have a fun, elegant successful event that appears to be effortless! Thanks again Katie for making the day perfect !
Blue Rocks was a delicious experience. Yes...the food was exceptional and our guests raved about the gastronomic delights. But the day of our wedding, Katie's team arrived and their real magic was on display. A bare room was suddenly filled with beautifully set tables...an elegant bar was brought to life on the porch...gift tables, decorations, guests movements, meal timings...of all the small and big mountains that had to be moved on our wedding day, they were all flawlessly executed by a team that could not have been better choreographed and pleasant to work with. And Katie was a calming presence throughout...as she had been through the entire wedding planning process. We could not have asked for a better partner. Thank you so much!
I wish all of my friends were getting married just so I could recommend Blue Rocks Catering. Katie cares so much about her couples. So much love went into the menu planning, the food, the event, absolutely everything! We don't know what we would have done without her. Having her handle all of the rentals made my job stress-free. She took my vision and brought it to life.
Having the Behan Family Farm raw bar was a huge hit! The jalapeno mignonette was to die for!!! All the food was to die for!!
She and her staff made sure the day went flawlessly and I didn't have to worry about any details. We were able to enjoy the day with each other and soak up every minute.
I have never felt so taken care of or in such great hands. My family and friends are still complimenting me on the day, how perfect it was, and how exceptional the food was. This is over a month later!
I went from running to the courthouse to having a full blown backyard wedding with one month to spare. I went to Katie at Blue Rocks Catering and what a great decision I made! It was a small wedding, but you would have thought I was a VIP. She was so busy with other functions, but put me on her schedule without hesitation. I asked what I needed to do, her answer: "not a thing." Katie, her husband Matthew and staff were absolutely amazing and they not only made my day special, they made it stress free. While I am a foodie, my guests were should I say "simple" eaters and she catered the meal to their tastes all the while maintaining a fancy decor. The scallops with maple bacon chutney pleased even the pickiest (steak and potato) of eaters! The staff arrived promptly and set up incredibly efficiently. Their professionalism was unprecedented. Katie and her staff kept everything moving in a perfectly timely fashion. Once the dinner was served, Katie timed the cake cutting with skill, giving us just enough time to have an after dinner cocktail and toast. They even cleaned everything up and packed leftovers in tuperware for me. At the end, you would never have known they were even in my kitchen.
Working with Katie was like talking to a friend. I would recommend Blue Rocks Catering to anyone; from a simple small wedding to a large exquisite affair, you will not be disappointed. Just go to Katie and Matt give them a brief description of your vision and let them plan your special day!!!
Blue Rocks Catering made my wedding reception so easy. I was so incredibly lucky that Blue Rocks was even available since my reception was pretty last minute in terms of wedding planning. Katie did a fantastic job pulling all the details together and she really helped keep everything organized on the day of the event. She was always super responsive to emails and phone calls.
And of course-- the food was fantastic! So many people complemented our menu. Her staff was also really fantastic. I am so grateful for everything Katie did to make our reception memorable!
