ook care of everything the day of the wedding - from helping to coordinate with vendors, to last minute changes due to weather, Sam and her team handled it all flawlessly. The food was amazing, and Sam and her team went above and beyond every way possible. I can't imagine planning and having a wedding without Sam and her team.
It's hard to put into words just how incredible Samantha and the entire Watch Hill Catering team are! They catered my wedding this past June on Block Island. Samantha went above an...
d beyond from the start, inviting us for a tasting, coming out to Block Island before the wedding to tour the property etc! We were taken care of every step of the way. When it came to our wedding day, everything was perfect! The bartenders and servers were friendly and beyond attentive and the food/drinks were incredible!! I had SO many guests tell me not only how amazing the food was, but how amazing the service was as well! We LOVE Samantha and the Watch Hill Catering team and HIGHLY recommend using them for your wedding or event!!

Watch Hill Catering made our brunch wedding at my parents’ house absolutely unforgettable! The food was phenomenal—nothing like typical wedding fare. I envisioned an upscale brunch...
wedding, which is a bit unconventional, but Sam and her team instantly understood and elevated it beyond anything I imagined.
Our wedding was in October, and months later, guests still tell me it was their favorite wedding with the best food they’ve ever had. Beyond the incredible cuisine, Sam’s problem-solving skills were a lifesaver. I realized the day before the event that I’d miscalculated the number of wine glasses I ordered, but Sam handled it effortlessly and saved the day. Despite working with just one oven at my parents’ home, every dish was served piping hot and perfectly prepared.
Sam and her team are the epitome of professionalism and excellence. If you’re looking for incredible food and a truly stress-free event, hire Watch Hill Catering. They’re simply the best!

e moment we contacted her throughout our entire wedding day. The food was phenomenal- the hors d’oeuvres and the meal. She takes away so much stress the day of- setting up, breaking down, and really listening to everything you want. Her staff was also great- the servers, bartenders, chefs. Watch Hill Catering was one of our best wedding decisions!
The WHC catering team took great care of us. The food was beyond delicious, better than most fine dining restaurants in the area. Many of our guests came up to us to rave about the...
dinner and the staff. Not only did Sam and Marissa (and the rest of the team) take care of our catering, they also set up our venue and coordinated with our other vendors. I knew I was in good hands with the WHC team. I would recommend WHC to anyone looking for the best.
Watch Hill Catering was awesome to work with - great food, great communication, and great people. Our wedding planning went off the rails when our venue cancelled on us 3 months be...
fore the wedding. Samantha and her team really stepped it up and supported us through a stressful time. While we were scrambling to figure out what to do, they were assuring us everything would be fine and talking through various options. When we couldn't find another venue, they offered to create one for us, beach-side, at Paddy's in Westerly. We ended up landing a venue closer to where we live in Providence that didn't allow outside catering, and so weren't able to keep Watch Hill on, but they were supportive and happy for us even then. I have no doubt that if we ended up using them as a venue and caterer it would have been fabulous and beautiful. Working with Samantha and Marissa and chef was really easy and fun - they seemed as excited about our wedding as we were.
The Watch Hill Catering team was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! They went above and beyond not only to provide us with delicious food on our wedding day but also to ...
help make sure everything was organized and set up as we needed. From the very first conversation we had with Samantha on the phone, we knew that they were going to be a fun, engaging team to work with, and they did not disappoint. Their team was helpful from early on in the planning process with multiple phone calls regarding timeline, food options, and other decisions we needed to make. To top it off, our wedding guests all raved about the food (especially the mac & cheese bar!). We highly recommend Watch Hill Catering; their food, team, and service were all amazing. Thank you to Samantha, Marissa and the rest of the team for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!
