Calling all foodies, Blackstone is the one! All the food was exceptional—guests couldn’t stop raving about the truffle lobster spoons, lavender French 75s, and the Ben & Jerrys ice cream bar. Gina was amazing to work with—so helpful and patient throughout the process. They coordinated seamlessly with our other vendors and made everything easy for us. Yes, they’re a bit pricier than other options in RI, but the quality is unmatched. If you want the best catering in RI, go with Blackstone!

Blackstone catered our 250-person wedding at our family home flawlessly. Guests are still raving about the passed appetizers and the incredible family-style dinner. The level of professionalism, service, and attention to detail was unmatched. Every dish was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor—it wasn’t just “great wedding food,” it was high-end, restaurant-quality. The staff was warm, attentive, and on point all night—we never had to lift a finger. Gina was fantastic and there to help us along the entire way. Truly the best catering experience we could have asked for.

As a wedding planner, I work with a lot of catering teams—and Gina and her team were truly exceptional. Gina was incredibly responsive, organized, and detail-oriented in the lead-up to the wedding. On the wedding day, their onsite lead, Dada, was phenomenal. She managed the service team with calm professionalism and ensured everything ran seamlessly behind the scenes. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and served with care. From a planner’s perspective, they were a dream to work with. Highly recommend!

Blackstone caterers exceeded our expectations for our wedding! We got married at Shepherds Run this April and still dream about our food tasting last fall and even more so our wedding food selections! (Photos attached of mostly the amazing desserts! The mini donuts were insane!) We had so many compliments from our wedding guests at how delicious our wedding food is! We’re a little bit bias but typically we’re not fans of wedding food at other weddings but blackstone is 10/10, and we still crave the raviolis on a normal basis! From apps, entrees and desserts it was seriously all amazing. Not to mention how accommodating they were to food allergies and picky eaters… we literally had a guest ask for mashed potatoes while seated at the wedding and they pulled through! The staff and bar tenders were also amazing! Thank you Blackstone for making our day so so special!

Blackstone Catering was incredible for our wedding at Rosecliff. The food was outstanding — beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Our guests are still talking about the cocktail hour and dinner! The team was professional, attentive, and executed everything flawlessly. We are so grateful to Blackstone for making our day unforgettable.

My work had a company marketing event this evening and Blackstone catered. Top notch!!! The food was impeccable and the service. Absolutely everything was perfect!!! And all of the staff were lovely! Right down to the young men and women that looked like teenagers but probably were not, they were perfect!!! Highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of working with Blackstone Caterers for our wedding at Blithewold Mansion, and they were absolutely phenomenal. From start to finish, their team made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.

The initial tasting was such a memorable and fun event—it gave us confidence in their expertise and left us excited for our big day. Their team’s professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were evident throughout the planning process. They went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and ensure everything was perfect.

On the wedding day, the Blackstone team truly delivered. The staff were friendly, attentive, and incredibly accommodating, making sure our guests were well taken care of. The food was simply outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted as amazing as we remembered from the tasting. Our guests are still raving about the delicious cuisine and the great service.

Blackstone Caterers helped make our wedding day unforgettable, and we can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for exceptional catering for their special event.

Incredible, phenomenal, hands down best food around. Everyone was great to work with (especially Gina) and our wedding was all the better for having Blackstone involved! They are on top of every small detail and it really makes a difference. Their food is top tier perfect, I could eat it every day and be so happy!

I apologize for taking so long to write this. Blackstone Caterers serviced my daughter's wedding at Rose Cliff in May, and everything was perfect. The food was amazing. Not one complaint. Many of the guests raved about the food. The service was great, the food was great and the wedding was amazing. Thank you for making this special day the best day of our lives.

Working with Blackstone (and Gina!!) was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The food and service, both day of and leading up to the wedding, was immaculate. Gina and her team were incredibly responsive, professional and easy to work with. We had a tented wedding on our family home and were able to fully trust that they would execute day of without any issues. I highly recommend working with Blackstone if you are in the market for an excellent vendor, delicious food and great cocktails for your wedding or any big event.

I got married at Rosecliff in April 2024 and used Blackstone. I mainly went with Blackstone because it seems like most people use it or that's how instagram shows it.Let me start off by saying your quote will depend on where you are getting married at. And expect your final invoice to be able double. Rosecliff, being expensive, will obviously be more expensive for the same exact food if the wedding is held elsewhere.I would say, triple check your bills. Linens and tableware will be through peak event rental. Peak actually has prices online, Blackstone will charge you more. When asked why, there was no specific reason, because peak still had a delivery fee etc added on top.When going through the linens, extra linens were added to the quote. I was only told when I asked that these charges would come off and were only there just in case we needed those linens for different tables, since I was getting married during the beginning of a higher season and just to have them pre-reserved.I found that hard to believe. I got married during a lower season.You will also get charged for an equipment total which the price for us only went down $2 per person from the original quoted and upgraded many things.My BIGGEST complaint was that I specifically asked for the guest to be served cake, since the cake was very expensive. I even told them to pass it around with the late night snacks if more cake was available. After talking to most of my guests, about 80% of them didn’t have cake. A few of them even had to ask for cake. Another downfall I heard after was that some of my guests weren’t even done eating dinner, and they kept trying to pick up dishes. My thought is that they wanted to clean the tables asap to be done for the night.Also, for my signature drink, I asked for salt on the rim. No salt was on the rim.Seems like they disregarded the little things.I didn’t rate it a 1-2 because people said the food was good. However, not amazing.

Karen, Melissa, Dada, Erica, Olivia, and the team at Blackstone Caterers made our wedding vision a reality. We are so very grateful for all their time and support leading up to, and on the day, of our wedding. They helped to make our wedding truly a representation of us - from the delicious (!!) food and drinks served to the execution of the details throughout. We are also thankful for all the staff members on the day of who helped make our guests feel welcomed. We received so many compliments about how attentive and friendly the Blackstone team was. Thank you, Blackstone! Highly recommend.

What can I say? From start to end of our wedding planning process Blackstone was our saving grace. We planned our November 2023 Providence wedding from Los Angeles, and the Blackstone team (especially Gina!) made it seamless despite the long distance planning.Blackstone is truly a full service event caterer and worth every penny. They thought of every detail and took care of things that weren't even on my radar until they brought them up. More importantly they were super responsive, clear and transparent in their communication, and had endless patience for my questions and requests. We got married at the Roger William's Botanical Center and had to bring in everything ourselves, and Blackstone was essential in leading the entire wedding flow, rentals, etc. and everything else. We did have a Day of Coordinator to help with our DIYs, florals, and non-food timeline which was super important.And of course I haven't even started on the FOOD. Absolutely delicious!! Our guests were blown away. One major highlight was the customization of the "RI seafood" app station to include some Maryland seafood favorites as well to honor both my husband and my hometowns. Huge hit with the guests.Also the servers on the night of the wedding were wonderful! In the current climate where so many food & bev companies are short staffed, we felt like we were in great hands the entire night.I can't thank Gina, Dada, and the entire Blackstone staff enough!! I just wish we could get married again and do it all over.
