Real Events, Real Menus, Real Memories.
At B&M, we believe that great food brings people together. That’s why we’re launching B&M Bites & Highlights, a new blog series featuring real events, menus, and the incredible moments hosts shared with their guests.
Whether it’s a wedding, a backyard party, or a corporate event, we want to celebrate the unique ways people enjoy B&M Catering.
Today's spotlight is on a Coastal-Inspired Celebration: Sara W.’s Wedding
To kick off B&M Bites & Highlight series, we’re thrilled to feature Sara W.’s beautiful wedding, hosted at Shepherd’s Run in South Kingstown, Rhode Island.
Sara and her husband envisioned a relaxed yet elegant evening filled with incredible food, good company, and plenty of personal touches.
Instead of a traditional plated meal, they opted for a cocktail-style reception that allowed guests to mingle, sip, and savor every bite.

Sara’s clambake wedding menu was a nod to coastal New England flavors, with a mix of elegant bites and hearty favorites:

Sara writes: " The Cocktail Hour was held on the upper level of the hill. It was awesome sipping cocktails on the top of the hill, and being able to look down at the gorgeous sailcloth reception tent." Sara's wedding featured a full bar, and there was also a little side bar with sangria at the ready.
Sara and her guests appreciated the B&M bar services. Not only do we keep the party guests happy, but our bartenders also help set up and clean up.
For dessert, guests indulged in mini pies and Italian cookies, making for a sweet ending to a perfect night.
Sara’s Experience with B&M:
Sara took to her popular blog, The Modern Socialite, to share her thoughts. She emphasized how the food played a key role in making her wedding day unforgettable. She loved the rustic clambake setup by our crew and the flexibility of a cocktail-style dinner, which let guests enjoy a variety of flavors without a formal seating plan. From seafood lovers to the BBQ fans, she felt there was something for everyone.“
Sara writes in her post: "Now for the dinner.....and our key theme of the wedding....the New England Clam Bake! We had our New England Clam bake surf + turf style. We had lobsters + steak tips, corn bread (instead of rolls of bread), a strawberry summer salad, and veggies.
I have had a lot of lobster in my life, but it was the BEST lobster I had ever had. I am shocked to say it, but the way the caterers cooked it was unbelievable. It was so cool being able to see them cook next to the tent and crack the lobsters so they were ready to serve.
We also got custom lobster bibs, and people seemed to enjoy them more than I expected! We had our names and wedding date on them. I tried to save one for a keepsake after the wedding, but they were all used. Our guests loved them! They were a cute personal touch!"
We’re so grateful for Sara’s kind words and thrilled that B&M could be part of her special day. We couldn’t be happier that she and her guests enjoyed every bite of our New England Clambake. We can’t wait to work with her again in the future!
