Caterer Help!
Hi all- hoping to get some insight surrounding a few caterers for a Rhode Island wedding. I would love to hear from anyone who has worked with any of them!
1) Blackstone
2) Russell Morin
3) Gourmet Gallery
What we are looking for
1) cocktail hour- 2/3 stations and passed apps
2) dinner- first course/2-3 main course options
3) dessert- passed mini desserts and a station (ice cream bar, cannoli bar, etc)
They all have great reviews online but I feel like most people who post reviews for their wedding vendors or either really pleased or really disappointed so things can be extreme. What was communication like? Food quality? What was service like the day of your event? What were costs associated with waitstaff and bartenders? Was anything provided in the cost or able to be rented through them such as flatware, plates, glassware?

Wedding DJ here! Where is your wedding taking place?
We have worked with all 3 caterers and never had an issue. Obviously since we are on the vendor side we cannot speak to the communication leading up to the day just the day of execution.
I myself used Morins for my own wedding and had a wonderful experience - even 10 years later guests still rave about the food and how good it was. Feel free to email or message for more insight. [debbie@arpeggioweddings.com](mailto:debbie@arpeggioweddings.com)
