    Nor’Easter Newlyweds

    Working with Blackstone Caterers was such a smooth experience from start to finish. They responded to our messages right away and were always honest about what they could do for us, which made planning feel less stressful. When the weather took a turn on our wedding day, they quickly adjusted the setup without us even having to ask, and everything still looked beautiful. The team showed genuine care for making our day special and paid attention to every detail. Their pricing was fair and their work was top-notch. We'd absolutely recommend Blackstone to any couple looking for caterers.

    Absolutely Superb!

    Blackstone Caterers was the vendor affiliated with our venue. I am so very happy that this was the case! We could not have been more pleased with their services at our wedding. The planning process was seamless from our private tasting to accepting customization to the menu. I cannot tell you how many guests approached us during and after our wedding to say how much they enjoyed their meal. We will absolutely be recommending Blackstone to our friends.

    The best caterer out there!!

    WOW. Blackstone is AMAZING and we had an incredible experience with them as our wedding caterer. From our first conversation through the wedding day, the team was professional, responsive, and attentive to every detail. We worked with Gina and she was incredible! She explained everything thoroughly, helped us pick an amazing menu, and also coordinated all of the rentals for the day. They were really accommodating to any needs and their menus are all super customizable. Her attention to detail and expertise made the planning process stress-free and helped make our day so memorable. We couldn’t have done it without her! The food was absolutely incredible, guests are still talking about it! Each dish was served hot and was beautifully presented. The entire day of staff was amazing and provided seamless service throughout the evening. They even had a dedicated server (Mason was amazing!) to bring us food and drinks which helped us fully enjoy the celebration. We highly recommend Blackstone to any couple looking for exceptional food and outstanding service for their special day!

    Best Caterers!

    Blackstone Caterers was the only caterer we would consider for our wedding. The food, staff, and professionalism are unmatched. The chefs are absolutely incredible and the entire team is phenomenal to work with. They were amazing at ensuring that my husband and I got food and drinks throughout the night! We got so many compliments on the food and we were thrilled about every course. They made the entire planning process so simple and fun. Thank you so much to the Blithewold x Blackstone team. Shout out to chef Jenn and our attendant Mason!!!

    The best caterer in Newport

    Blackstone was amazing from the start of our planning all the way through our wedding day. We’ve had several guests tell us it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. Fabulous to work with, highly recommend.
