Welcome back to our Bites & Highlights series, where we pull back the curtain on real events and share how delicious food helped make them truly special.
Last time, we chatted about all sorts of summer celebrations, from lively Fourth of July BBQs to charming backyard clambake weddings. This time around, we're focusing on something extra dear to our hearts: summer weddings!
We’re also excited to give you a peek into some of the wonderful New England venues where you can find B&M Catering, bringing our kitchen (and our hearts!) right to your celebration.
At B&M Catering, we’re all about bringing the freshest, most delicious food directly to your chosen location, no matter where your special day takes you. We believe that your wedding meal should be an experience, not just a necessity.
Over the years, we’ve had the true pleasure of working with some incredible spots across New England, each offering something unique and memorable for couples looking to tie the knot.
Places like the rustic charm of Terrydiddle Farm, the elegant grounds of Five Bridge Inn, the laid-back atmosphere of Kinney Bungalow, and the spacious appeal of Arrowhead Acres are just a few of our favorites.
We often hear from couples just how much they appreciate our dedication to going the extra mile. As Sally, one of our happy brides, shared about her August wedding:
“We chose B & M to cater our August wedding and were absolutely thrilled. The food is perfectly delicious and quantities generous. B&M staff were even folding up chairs and taking down decorations—completely unasked! They went above and beyond.”
Discovering Your Perfect SUMMER Wedding Backdrop
Let’s take a closer look at a couple of these fantastic venues and what makes them so special for summer weddings:
We've been partnering with Vicki and Dave at Arrowhead Acres for many years. This elegant, yet casual, 49-acre estate is located only 20 minutes from Providence & Worcester and is just 55 minutes from Boston. We've seen that the wedding services and settings are very different from your typical everyday wedding and reception facility.
Here, you get to choose the setting that speaks to you. You actually get to choose traditional or rustic, outdoor or indoor. They even have a country fun area with a swimming pool that is great for clambakes, barbecues, bbqs, and campfires.
Whether you are planning an elegant wedding reception in the Banquet Hall, or a more casual company outing or family get together in the Country Fun area, B&M has a menu that will suit your taste and budget.
Terrydiddle Farm in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, truly embodies rustic charm. This isn't just any venue; it’s a working farm, a hidden gem nestled among rolling fields, complete with a cozy red barn that sets the perfect scene. There’s ample space for grand tents, fun lawn games, and dancing the night away under a canopy of stars. It’s an ideal setting for couples dreaming of a relaxed, countryside wedding with plenty of room to personalize every detail. We’re also proud to be part of their special all-inclusive wedding package, which simplifies the planning process by bringing together the venue, our delicious food, all your rentals, and more into one seamless experience. It’s designed to make your journey to "I do" as stress-free as possible!
Then there's Five Bridge Inn in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, which offers a different kind of New England magic. Imagine meticulously manicured grounds, an elegant tented pavilion perfect for any weather, a classic white barn, and a warm outdoor fireplace. This venue masterfully blends a sophisticated garden-party feel with the flexibility to fit a wide array of wedding styles, from grand and formal to intimate and casual. Plus, it’s home to comfortable overnight accommodations, a beautiful bridal suite, and countless picturesque spots for those unforgettable wedding photos.
Bringing Our Kitchen to You, Wherever You Are
You might be wondering, "Do they only cater close to home?"
The answer is a resounding no! While our home base is in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, we absolutely love an adventure and are more than happy to journey to your chosen reception venue, even if it's a bit of a drive. We’ve catered beautiful tented weddings far from home, like one lovely event in North Brookfield, Massachusetts.
Here’s what that couple had to say:
“They are based out of Providence, Rhode Island, but made the journey up to our reception venue in North Brookfield Massachusetts. Since it would be impossible to keep the food warm for such a long trip they brought their own grills and equipment to make the food on site. They also went out of their way when they arrived to the reception site to move some tables that had been getting dripped on as the wedding was in a tent outside.”
This highlights a core part of our service: we often bring all our own grills and equipment to cook your meal fresh, right on-site. This ensures every dish is served at its peak of flavor and warmth, no matter the location. Our team is always ready to jump in and help wherever needed, even with things outside of just catering, because we genuinely care about your day running smoothly.
And speaking of great venues, when it came to a wedding at The Overlook at Geer Tree Farm in Lebanon, Connecticut, another happy couple shared:
“Our venue highly recommended B&M when we said we wanted a ClamBake…”
Crafting Menus That Match Your Day's Vibe
When couples choose amazing venues like these, our menus naturally follow the tone of the day, perfectly complementing the atmosphere you’ve created.
For instance, at The Overlook wedding, the couple opted for one of our beloved Classic Clambake menus. Picture this: succulent steamed lobsters, tender mussels, comforting New England clam chowder, and all the traditional fixings like sweet corn on the cob and tender red potatoes. It’s one of our most popular choices for outdoor celebrations, and for very good reason! A clambake brings a wonderfully festive and relaxed feel to any gathering and is super easy to serve, whether you prefer family-style platters or a convenient buffet line right there at your venue.
As Lynsey beautifully put it after her August clambake wedding:
“We decided on a clambake in August. They were friendly and unobtrusive and set the pace of the dining so flawlessly. B&M made us feel that our day was special.”
It truly is the perfect choice for couples who dream of a laid-back, coastal vibe, combined with professional, seamless service and that special "wow" factor that only a fresh-cooked clambake can provide.
At Terrydiddle Farm, with its charming rustic backdrop, many couples lean towards our hearty BBQ Bonanza or our comforting Country Style Buffet. Imagine mouth-watering pulled pork, savory BBQ chicken, creamy macaroni and cheese, warm cornbread, and crisp, fresh salads—all your favorite comfort foods, prepared just right and cooked fresh on-site.
Shannon, one of our delighted wedding clients, raved:
“We had the marinated BBQ steak tips, BBQ baby back ribs, pineapple teriyaki chicken, mac & cheese, cornbread, garden salad, and apple crisp for dessert. All of the food was perfectly cooked and tasted out of this world. People were lining up to take home bowls of it!”

As Kaitlin T. shared, summing up her experience perfectly:
“Using B&M to cater our wedding was the best decision we made. The food was amazing. They were very accommodating to our vegan guests, and the chef made sure my husband and I were fed first and foremost.”
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the amazing couples who have entrusted us with their wedding day. We’re so grateful for your kind and thoughtful words! It truly is an honor for us to be a small, but delicious, part of your big memories.
