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.

We worked with Blackstone for about 2 1/2 years. Getting a hold of them at first was hard because of the pandemic. We actually had to show up at the venue and ask the gardener how to get a hold of them. After that the planning process with Blackstone was very smooth. The food tasting was great!The pros:Food was good and plentiful. The venue the Blithewold was beautiful!Cons:Fast forward to the wedding. The day seemed very unorganized. We started the wedding exactly on time. And I suggested to wait five minutes and I was told everyone was there. We had 10 people miss the wedding ceremony. I was told someone would be there to make sure I was fed and had drinks during cocktail hour and during the night. I never once was asked if I wanted anything drink. My husband had to go to the bar to get us beverages. We were told we were getting a Dels cart, that would be our signature drink. Before walking down the aisle I noticed it wasn’t there. I was told that the truck came instead… no one was able to see the truck during the cocktail hour. It seemed to be a waste of money. I had to turn on all the fake candles at the Al fresco when it got dark. I also had planned doing the flower toss but I was never told when to do it. I would use them for food and get your own day of planner.

I play in a wedding band and have had 100s of wedding meals over the years. Blackstone is one of the best i have had to date and the polenta was hands down the best polenta i have have ever tasted??????
Blackstone Catering was the most amazing vendor for our wedding day, and our food was amazing. We got raving reviews from our guests about how delicious and fresh the food was, and we could not have been happier. They were also so accommodating to guests dietary restrictions and allergies so we were comfortable knowing that all of our guests would be well fed and happy!

Karen, Jackie and the entire Blackstone Caterers team are an absolute please to work with. From the moment we met Karen, we felt an instant connection and you can just tell she just gets it and has a lot of experience in the wedding catering industry. We had our wedding at Shepherd’s Run in April 2022 which Blackstone Caterers is the exclusive caterer for. We were blown away by the variety of options Blackstone Caterers offers. We were sent the different food and drink packages and were able to choose which dishes we loved. The planning was a breeze and they can design all sorts of menus to meet your wedding day wishes. What really impressed us was the tasting event we had at Shepherd’s Run a few months before our wedding and it was amazing to taste all of the food Blackstone offers from the hors d'oeuvres, crudite table, raw bar, salads, main entrees, desserts… all were delicious and our wedding guests thought the same! Wedding day service was amazing and the wait staff was super attentive and kind. We would highly, highly recommend Blackstone Caterers for your event! Thanks Karen and Jackie!

We worked with Blackstone for our wedding in November, and we can't recommend them enough. Shannon was so wonderful to work with and helped us create the perfect menu, and Danielle was organized and helped our day run smoothly. The food was absolutely incredible and our guests are still talking about. They put so much care into every aspect of the process! If you're looking for a caterer, Blackstone will exceed all of your expectations.
