Hello RI brides!
We are looking for a good caterer who will provide linens, flatwear, china, a bar.. etc for around 50$ a head. Got any good suggestions? I would love to hear them…we are really looking forward to getting this settled!

I met with Emery’s Catering and that was pretty much my budget. They include linens, flatware, etc. in the price and came up with a pretty good menu. Our venue allows us to bring in our own alcohol, Emery’s charges a flat fee for bar mixers and a bar tender but we will supply all alcohol. I’m still looking for more options in that budget. I also contacted Chelo’s (the restaurant) catering department and am impressed with thier offerings but have not yet had a meeting. Let me know who you talk to and good luck.

Good to know. I’m meeting with West Bay Gourmet soon. Not sure about the flatwear and linens yet, but they run pretty much within out budget and have a great selection. There are some sample menus and pricing on their page. I’ll let you know how it goes.

**Wicked late update**
Met with a few, really, really liked Pranzi Catering. She drove from Providence to Newport at the drop of a hat to meet us (we were only in town for one day-we live out of state). Waiting on the proposal…
